Eurotrip?

Who got there email of return other than Fish and Myself?

Come back Smalls! Tell you what, I'll learn French if you want. It'll be just like Europe.

Married? No problem

Come on Chilly. Grab Tad and drag him up. If his job can't appreciate Day camp, then is that a place he really wants to work?

So the whole freaking Napoleon Dynamite thing has trickled out of the independent film houses, down to the college crowd, and now all the way to my freshmen in the ghetto who are too young to know any better. Anyway, they know I'm pretty unimpressed by the phenomenon and take any opportunity to say "Gosh!" or "Idiot!". Anyway, I told one kid to cut it out or I'd call his mom (half joking half ready to knock him out) and a battle of wills escalated until I was on his cell talking to his mom. Mom thought I was joking, but I was serious. As I hung up, I was flushed with this super-potent mix of nostalgia and frustration and all I wanted was to see Spiff, so I could sock him in the nose.

P.S. Hi Smalls.

Happy Valentine's Day

Have a wonderful night everyone! Happy Valentine's Day! 12 days until i'm back on US soil....

Chaperone

Teachers at my school have to staff two events per semester. Last semester I took down some plum duties -- basketball and volleyball -- but this semester math got last pick and I was stuck with two dances -- the longest and least desirable duties. Cripes. So I got a little dressed up and had to go to school on Saturday (making it "Saturday School" I guess), take tickets, and police the dance floor. Basically my job was to pull kids off each other and all that as the situation demanded it.

Questions and comments:

• Will somebody please remix YMCA or kill it please. Couldn't believe they played that seventies two-stepper at an urban high school dance.
• Not that thirty freshmen freaking to a couple of cabinet speakers and a smoke machine could really be considered a dance.
• Oh right, so my job was to put an end to all the freaking, and for a while I was working real hard, like I was on commission, like the more kids I separated the better I was doing, but then I thought to myself, dang, I'm at school on a Saturday night. So I stopped 'cause I figured somebody should have been having fun.
• No, seriously, by a show of hands: does anyone actually like YMCA. I've got this sneaking suspicion we're all just playing it because the class before us played it and no one actually enjoys it at all.
• Okay, you there, this is getting ridiculous...

I spent most of the time walking around the action, watching the cool kids from afar, and thinking about how little I've come since my own high school dances.

That was last weekend. Today I saw Rudy, Spidey, and Andrew (youth staff '02) in Santa Cruz, which was much more fun.

Big news if you don't know

Splatt's getting hiched if you haven't heard yet. Yay for that!

And who's that in the back?
Oh hi Spiff, you made it in a picture!

Even in the cold

O.k. so my Mom and Grandma are at crafter's conference at Mount Hermon this weekend (Feb 4th-6th), and I go down to say hi. Afterward I head down to Day Camp and realize I would give up any warm meal in Bethany Cafe to sit in the cold at Sonics eating of all things, ice cream with my DC thugs (or thugettes).

Good friends, Good times, Good DVD?...sorry Gator,

and this is what i eat dinner to...! i feel soooo blessed! 

This is what I wake up to... : ) 

A driver under the influence

So...new news on Friday night a "driver under the influence" not quite a DUI ran a stop sign and turned left in front of me...hurting my little car and me. On top of it she was uninsured so now since I only had liability I have to take her to small claims court- fun! Ok so not so fun, so now I'm in the farm land of Canada with no vehicle and waiting and hoping and praying that God would provide something because I just don't have the funds right now...it's been an adventure and wow I feel like this is such a downer after watching fish's super funny movie that my roommates and I laughed sooo much at! Other than that- Canada is well, and I am well. Love you!
