SAT. MAY 7

Hey i just got an e-mail from my mom, she misses me.......AW!! so now I
miss her, and want to cry...*sniff* i"m OK! But i send her a mother's
day card 2 weeks ago so hopefully it gets there in time.

Oh there's one part of her e-mail that really irked me, she told me
that my friends back at church didn't ask her or my dad about their trip
to NZ nor have they asked about how i'm doing. A couple of them i get
e-mails from (and I definately appreciate that) so there's no real need
to ask my parents, but still. Just the fact that it seems like a couple
of my friends (I know who you are) cant' even be bothered to e-mail me,
write me, or even ask my parents how I"m doing. So ya, I'm not very
impressed by that. But of course they probably won't get the hint because
I've been asking those who do contact me to remind those who don't AND
I've been hinting that I miss them and what not on the blog, but they
dont' even check that!! So what's the point?! I might send them another
"reminder" e-mail, but at the moment I'm just not too impressed. I
guess that shows who your real friends are...

I am however totally impressed at the fact that I got Becky's package
last night! She send it like end of Feb/beginning of March, somewhere in
there. I was thinking that it would be cool if I got the package on my
birthday, but 4 days ahead of time works just fine for me :) Here's the
contents of the package, along with my thoughts on each "random" item:

photo CD of me and Becky's "adventures"=this is probably the least
random thing in the box, i haven't looked at all the pics yet but i did
check out a few of them last ngith and it totally made me miss my house in
S'toon nad Becky too :(
pics of Becky= *sigh* oh Becky, I miss you!!
A Krispy Kreme hat= sadly I've never actually had this delectible
treat, now if she would have actually sent me a Krispy Kreme...
a clear duct tape wallet= I'm assuming she made it herself, which is
awesome!! She said it's for those people with no money because you can
see through it :)
clothes pins= Um, i don't know why she put those there, maybe as
package "filler"? I don't know. I'll probably use them to put pictures up by
my bed cause I"m on the bottom bunk here @ school.
forks= now these are not your typical fork, these are skinnier. Hmm,
maybe if i have food in my room I'll put them to good use, but sadly no
money + no ride into town = no snack food< /FONT >
stickers= I thought these were cute because they kinda had a jungle
animail theme to them. i put the lion sticker in my day planner on May 14
because it'll remind me of Aslan, cause that's when we're diong
Breakthrough
bubbles= this i knew was coming because she mentioned this on her blog,
this was the only thing that I knew was being sent to me. They remind
me of being little kid again :)
fish food= as in actually gold fish type crumbly fish food. Seeing as
we can't have pets in the dorm rooms, this isn't really applicable to my
life at the moment. However I am thinking of getting a fish when i get
back home and naming it Jubal because in Gen.4:21 he's the guys of all
those who play the harp and the flute. Me, being a saxophone player,
and all think this is relevent because sax is in the woodwind family and
so is flute. See the connection? Well if not, i do and that's all that
matter ;)
fake ants= Becky, I still have that fake centipede in my car @ home!
Becky has a thing with fake bugs so i think this is her attempt to get me
into them too. Either way, it totally doesn't matter to me cause it's
all fun and what not. So i stuck them to the roof of my bunk (remember I
said I was on the bottom one) so they look like they're crawling
around. Heheh!
Jones bottle cap lids=man, i could go for a Jones right about now. It
totally reminds me of the joke we had at camp: whenever you read a Jones
cap you're supposed to add "in bed". If you don't know what I'm talking
about dont' worry about it ;) My fav on that Becky sent me was: The
answer to your problems will soon be obvious to you.
chop sticks= this will definately come in handy tongiht bcause Soo's
cooking this weekend (along with some other people) and from what I hear
we're having Korean food. So ya, the chopsticks will be used :)
a blue ribbon that says "Outstanding"= I think that Becky put this in
just for kicks. But then again I AM "Outstanding" aren't I? ;)
a mouse trap= this, i don't even have a clue as to why it's in there,
none whatsoever. Hmm, maybe I'll use it to catch a mouse that might
come in my room like one did last term in our old room.
an orange rubber ball= i havent' actually had a rubber ball since i was
a kid. So this could be fun to play with if I ever got bored. Or I
could use it wake up my roommates...
3 Jazz Christmas CD's= I figure these are because you can listen to
Christmas music at ANY time of the year, i mean why not? Plus Becky knows
how much I love Jazz music (being a sax player and all). I'm listening
to one of them now, and I really like it.
a bar of soap= this was perfect timing because I had just ran out of
soap! Plus it smells like coconut and lime...yummy!
a peice of Starbucks leather= Becky works at Starbucks so that's
probably why she gave this to me. I'm thinking it came off a packge of coffee
or something like that. Everytime I go into the Starbucks in Hamilton I
think of her...
an Elmo PEZ container= sadly i don't ever remember having PEZ candy
growing up. But my Granny always had the containers with characters on
them and we would always play with them as kids. This just reminds me of
my childhood :)
tea bags/hot chocolate powder/apple cider powder= Yay for yummy
flavored hot drinks!!! I'm so excited to drink them. Yay!
a note which says..."If you put any more empty or half empty
containers in here-Baby Jesus will HUNT you down!!!"= this was probaby put in
there just to make me laugh, which of course it did!!

Well I think that's it for the package. I got an e-mail from her a
couple hours after I got the package asking if i got it yet and when i did
get it I was supposed to hide in the bathroom with it just in case I
would pee my pants laughing. Well that e-mail came a couple hours too
late becuase I ended up opening it with Erica, Jana, and Nikki as my
witnesses, plus we were also watching "The Lion, The Witch, and The
Wardrobe". And they pretty much laughed with me when i opened the package.

THANK YOU BECKY!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Yesterday was also Julia's b-day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA!! Some of us
girls ened up giong to Hamilton and had Pizza Hut pizza and watched a
movie. We ended up watching "Kingdom of Heaven". I thought it was good
however I think it could have done without the blood and gore in the battle
scenes. Take for example you see a guy get shot in the neck with an
arrow and he's still running around. Plus the king of Jerusalem has
leprosy so he's wearing a mask. Once he has died, his sister ends up taking
off his mask and well....it's not pretty. So I didn't like it for those
parts. However the story line is pretty good. It's about a man who's
father was faithful to the king of Jerusalem so he follows his father's
footsteps and heads to Jerusalem. It's from the guys who made
"Gladiator" and that was a good movie. So my conclusion was that it was good.

That night when i got back to school i noticed that there was a new
e-mail for me. It was a picture of Larry Boy which totally made my day!

Then i also noticed that there was something in my mailbox. It was a
letter from Krystin and I always end up crying when i get e-mails from
her. So i went into my room to read it. It was a brithday card, a letter
and grad picture of her. I had only read the card and i burst into
tears.........I MISS YOU KRYSTIN!!! So ya that was another thing that added
to my awesome day. So all in all yesterday was pretty awesome!!

Oh I also found a little "goodie" in one of the Jazsz CD cases that
Becky gave me. It's a Keb Mo Sampler CD. I've never actually hear of Keb
Mo but from what I've heard on the CD he's kinda bluesy style. So that's
good! :)
