My Childhood

At a long and wonderful "let's skip class to go to Starbucks and drink a Venti-London Fog" coffee with Nicole, we got into a lot of serious talking. She's such a good friend. You all need a friend like Nicole (but you can't have her, she's MINE! lol). Anyway, the talk was very serious, and we got into childhood stuff.

This afternoon, I was thinking more and more about my childhood, and despite some of the awful stuff that happened, I had a lot of fun. Yeah I was teased a lot and it did a lot of damage, but I had a wonderful family. I just spent a lot of time being tortured by it. But it's in the past, and I think that God will show me how to heal, and is starting to prepare me for that. So that's very comforting. Anyways, after a moment of serious thought, I turned to thinking of the things I enjoyed about my childhood. And then I was reminded of a favorite cartoon: REN AND STIMPY! YES! So I've had the royal canadian kilted yaksmen song in my head ever since. Here's the lyrics:

Our country reeks of trees
Our yaks are really large
And they smell like rotting beefcarcasses
And we have to clean up after them
And our saddle soars are the best
We proudly wear woman's clothing
And searing sand blows up our skirts

And the buzzards, they soar overhead
And poisonous snakes will devour us whole
Our bones will bleach in the sun
And we will probably go to *thbppth*
And that is our great reward
For being the-uh Ro-yal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahhh, memories. I could do the 'log' song. But not today. It's about the royal canadian kilted yaksmen today!

My Thoughts

-I'm stealing this from Jana, but man, my room only gets clean when I'm proctrastinating! It's true. I'll exhaust every possible activity before doing homework. Once that's out of the way, the room gets cleaned. HA! Anyway, I have one more paper to write, and my week from Bible College assignment hell will be done! If I don't finish however, I can still take a 2 week extension :)

-You know it's winter when
..... you put the liner inside your jacket becuase it's too cold without it
..... you have to start plugging your car in overnight
..... you don't want to go to Tim's because it's too cold outside
..... you don't want to go to Starbucks because your car might not start

-I drove in the worst snowstorm ever. The roads were awful, and it was like driving in a pingpong ball going 50 for hours on end. The trip took SEVEN hours! At least I'm in one piece!

-I'm going to Lloydminster with the special group this weekend. I should call up grandma and see if she'd like to see us play. perhaps i shall stay there and we could do lunch or something.

-Regina trip! DECEMBER 4th!
AM: SOUTHSIDE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH, 41 Birchwood road. I have no idea when the service starts.

PM: AVONHURST PENTECOSTAL, 3200 Avonhurst drive. Service is at 6pm.
