motorbike

Peter took me on my first ever motorbike ride today. I was so scared at first but once we got going it was tons of fun. We went all the way to Abbotsford, had supper, and then came home. We were on the highway and my hair was flapping in my face...I couldn't see. Then I remembered I had a visor. Haha!!

homeless

It is now official. I need a place to live by the end of september. My brother is going to move into a house with some friends and he is leaving me homeless :( I've had a couple of offers but one of them leaves me with no bedroom and the other I don't feel would work out. I guess I'm not completely stuck...I'd just like to try and find something else. I'm a very poor student so I can't afford to live by myself...not to mention that would be sooooo boring!!! I'm kind of excited...I like moving. I enjoy the change...I like setting up a new space. I will just be more excited when I figure out where I'm going.

I think winter is going to come early this year. The spiders have started invading. YUK!!! Last night I was sitting on my bedroom floor sorting my scrapbook paper (yes I'm a freak) when a huge, hairy wolf spider came running across my floor straight towards me. I jumped onto my bed and screamed for my brother but I guess he was already asleep (or ignoring me) because he didn't answer. I grabbed my scrapbook and dropped it right onto the spider. I just left the scrapbook there all day. I just asked my brother to take the spider out for me so he got out of bed and took care of it...I didn't want to look at it. I have such a nice brother. I guess I'll forgive him for leaving me homeless.

Patience

When my brother and I were younger my parents bought us these books that had tapes that went along with them. They were all about the fruits of the spirit (kindness, love, patience, etc.) If I remember correctly the tape would read the story and when we heard a ringing sound we knew it was time to turn the page. The first book I got from this series was one on patience. I listened to it a lot!! There was a song at the end of the tape and that song has been playing over and over in my head for the past couple of weeks.

Have patience, have patience,
Don't be in such a hurry.
When you get impatient
You only start to worry.
Remember, remember
That God is patient too.
And think of all the times
That others have to wait for you.

I just recently read another blog on patience and the song started up again...and this time it won't go away. I think sometimes God uses really strange ways to get my attention but a song rolling over and over in my head is a new one.

Alright God...I think I get it now...I'm listening...just please please make the song go away!!!

I do not know what to write. I feel like there is a ton to write about but I do not want to write about it. Or maybe I do not know how to write it. I think I think too much. I over analyze circumstances and imagine crazy situations. And it drives me crazy but I still keep doing it. I think that is why I always have to be doing something. I hate just sitting and thinking. For a while it is ok but then I just start thinking about stupid things. Well maybe I do not always have to be doing something but if I am doing nothing I like to do nothing with someone. Then I can talk. I really like talking. I am trying to learn how to relax and just do nothing once in a while. It is really difficult. I bet I can count the number of times in the past few years I have stayed home all day on one hand.

I also find that people like to make fun of me. Not in a bad way, but in a teasing way. My friends, my family, and pretty much anyone that knows me even a little bit. I actually kind of enjoy it. I think if people stopped I would really miss it. I am told that it is because I react; people like the way I react. I don’t think I really react any different than anyone else. Maybe I do. I do not know.

Also I have come to believe that I am and will always be confused. There has been very few times in my life where I have not been confused about one thing or another. Maybe that is why I do not like just sitting and thinking. I just confuse myself even more.

K I just got a block. I can not think of a single thing more to write. But that is how this whole thing started. I could not think of anything to say but I wanted to write. I am more just rambling I guess. I am probably boring you. This is more for me though so if you are bored stop reading.

I got money for Michaels and House of James for my birthday. I want to get a book from House of James, just not sure which one yet. Or maybe I want a CD. I want to go shop at Michaels. I am going to get a whole bunch of scrapbooking stuff. I have a whole bunch of new ideas of what to do and how to arrange my pictures. Now all I need is some pictures. And to get the pictures I need money. And to get the money I need to wait a few more weeks. Then I will be back in school. And I will have no time to scrapbook so the pictures will be useless. Ah I guess I will have to make time. I do not need to study all the time.

So I think this is enough rambling nonsense. Goodnight all.

Oh and the blog is publishing apostrophes really funny so that is why I wrote this all proper. Anyone have any idea why it would do that?

I went for a walk with Tysey this evening. We walked over to Heritage Park from my house and then we walked up to 7th and down to Grab-a-Java. We got chocolate milkshakes...mmmmm...they were soooo good. Then we walked back down to my house. I haven't been on a walk in a while. It was nice to get out and do that.

Life is like a carousel at times...it goes up and down and keeps spinning around and around that by the time it finally stops spinning you have no idea where you are or what just happened... :)

Yesterday at work was soooo busy. Between 11:30 and 3:00 I don't think we had time to sit down once...barely time to take a drink of water. Today was pretty slow...at least for the first part. Jim and I were shooting eachother with elastic bands. haha.

There was one guy who came through and asked if he needed to put the ticket I gave him on his dash. I told him that it didn't really matter...so he took the ticket, shoved it in his mouth, and started chewing on it. Brad (my boss) told us that if we saw anything suspicious that we didn't see any of the other days to tell him. Security was up today because of a certain concert going on this evening. I wonder if that counted :)

I've been working at the Agrifair for the past few days. Mostly I've been the parking cashier but today I got to be a gate cashier for a little while. The first two days were relatively slow and we had lots of down time. Today I was working with Jim (Jimmy's dad) and we were soooo busy. I was on my feet for most of the day and it was soooo hot. It was pretty fun though. There were quite a few cars that came in telling us that they had to pick up their vehicle from the night before. Haha. Too drunk to drive. The amount of people who complain about the price is just crazy!!! Then there was the odd one who surprised us. There was one lady that came in today and when I told her how much it cost she just said "wow that's a pretty good deal." I just looked at her, kind of dropped my jaw, and told her she was the first person to say that all day. She just laughed and said she was from Vancouver. Jim and I were supposed to be off at 3:00 but the people that were supposed to take our shifts didn't show up. Jim ended up getting off at 4:00 and me at 5:00. It was alright though. As soon as I got some water I was fine. I went and sat with Jimmy while I waited for my dad. He had a great spot (except he didn't have anyone to talk to) There was a chair he could sit in which he put in the shade and he only had to get up once in a while to talk with people in cars. I liked being so busy but I have to admit that shade made me a bit jealous :) I saw Rose too (Jimmy's mom) I guess they wanted to make it a family day!! It was a good day though. I'm sore now (from the sun) and tired (from the sun) but I don't really mind too much. And I'm back at it tomorrow...and Monday.
