First I said "bye", then I said "bye". bye bye.

Victizzle fun fact #87: I love traveling. I loooooove it!! Ever since I was a little kid I've loved going places. We traveled via Greyhound a lot and while spending twenty four hours on a packed bus next to strange strangers may sound daunting to some, to me it sounded like fun fun fun. So while I have only been as far east as Dauphin Manitoba and as far south as Seattle and with the exception of Hawaii, I haven't gone very far. My ultimate dream is Europe. One day people one day. However I have just agreed to do something that will take me to a whole other country that isn't Canada................I'm going to Guadalajara!!!!!!!!!! Yep, I'm adding another stamp to my passport ( okay okay it'll be my first one) anyway moving on... I have agreed to go on a missions trip with Sonlight Church. We leave on June 20th and return June 30th. And I gotta say, I AM STOKED!!! not just because I get to go somewhere but because doing a missions trip has been on my heart for a really long time and I want to help make a difference and it finally feels right and things have come together very nicely in order for me to go. So to all two of you reading this, please keep me in your prayers not just when I'm there but as I prepare to go. I know that this will be an amazing time for me to learn and grow, I also know that it will be very challenging but when it's over I hope to emerge a different person. So yeah, if you could keep me in your prayers that would be great!

don't tell me you didn't see this one coming...

Hey! I'm walkin' here!!

So I drove to school today, something I don't usually do. Taking the bus saves on gas and it gives me 22.8-25.3 minutes to read/do homework/gaze mindlessly out of the window. Anyway so I drove today because I wanted an extra 15 minutes to sleep. So I get to Whatcom, go into the first parking lot, circle around five times, accept the fact that all the spaces are taken up by the people who forfeited their extra 15 minutes and so I hang my head and go to the other parking lot on the other side of campus. I park, get out and walk back to the other side of campus where my class is. So I get to the point where I have to cross the road, the same point that three other students have been hit by cars this year. I stop, look both ways, there's a car coming but it's a ways away so I begin my trek across the road as I’m almost half way across, I look again at the car coming towards me and I realize it’s going way faster than the “recommended” 15mph limit. Crap. It’s getting closer and it’s not stopping. So I stop, then the “sweet” little ol’ lady who can barely see over the wheel jams on her brakes. We stare at each other for .03 seconds and simultaneously we both start moving again and upon the realization that we both are going we stop. I’m really annoyed by now, my heart is racing, I don’t want this to be the place that I die. So I make a gesture telling her that she can go. So she did. And then I continued on my way, yelling at her in my mind. Grr.

Probably the most pointless thing you'll read all day.

I really have no subject in mind but it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted something so I’m just going to ramble about my day/week. Right now, I’m really quite comfy, I’m in my trusty black sweats and my “love” t-shirt I got at creation fest two years ago. I’ve got white cat hair all over me because I was just holding weird kitty and she sheds like mad. It’s somewhat gross. I have a bit of an aversion to hair, once it’s off the head/body it becomes my enemy. Now, I’m really not a huge fan of weird kitty she’s really moody, seriously you can be petting her and she’ll be purring and she’ll flip onto her back all stretched out and semi moderately cute and then BAM, before you know it she’s shred the skin on your hand. I don’t handle pain well, so it takes every ounce of resistance in my body to not kick her across the room ( I also have anger issues). However, she’s become rather pathetic since Mocha (the best cat to ever walk the planet who was taken from us just as my faith in the goodness of cats (that had been destroyed by weird kitty), was coming back) anyway ever since I found Mocha's limp body by the side of the road, weird kitty has gotten really really really really needy. I don't like needy, I like an animal who can hold its own and be there when it should but not be all over you every second of the day. ( I don't like being crowded, I need "me" time) . Anyway in the morning she’ll be right at my door waiting for me. Sometimes as I walk into the bathroom for the first of two showers a day, she’ll sneak in and just sit on the floor while I’m washing the sleepiness away. Then when I'm dried off i’ll pet her just to shut her up. She has got the most annoying meow ever. Anyway all that was just to give the back story on why I was petting her. It’ s pretty much common knowledge that I don’t really like her and I don’t want people to just assume that I like her because I was petting her. After all, I’ve got a rep to uphold.
