Just Listen for Water

Yesterday was one of those days that has me asking why am I leaving? But then I realize oh yeah I wasn't happy here, but I guess it is good that I am starting to see that Vancouver is pretty, I do have friends I enjoy, and there are still guys from here that I find irresistible.



Yesterday I was to attend a pool party, something I was worried about due to me being antisocial and awkward. Plus... Have not mentally and Physically prepared for bathing suit season.



Well we transit to David's and are looking for his place and can't seem to find it. So best bet...just pick a direction and go. Finally got a hold of David and got his directions. My personal favourite direction was turn right at the dumpster. And Kim heard this and pointed out every dumpster we saw. I said lets just listen for water. See my logic for this is where there is water there is a large mass of people laughing and splashing, hence we will hear the pool party.



We found it! B/c I am awesome with directions.....Landmarks not streets. So if ever giving me directions, make them like this:



Turn right by the yellow telephone booth, and then keep walking until you see this House that looks like its haunted then go around it and Find the fullest dumpster crawl under that and find the cliff that looks like an eyebrow, and i will meet you there.



That's how I rock!

Boys are awesome, I like Boys. I like the people I am still in touch with from Highschool.

Highlights:

Kim swimming


Discussion of Talented actors and sexy males with Joe, and him constantly asking me if I like Brad Pitt.WHAT WHAT Seth Rogan

Star Trek Fan Video

Discussion of Lysistrata

People saying I am cute! (personality and hopefully looks wise)

and that is all I feel safe to discuss



I think it was a pretty good night. Got home late but I am feeling good today.

An email from my mother

Background: My parents are going up to Penticton for a week and my father bought a small storage trailer to attach to his car. My mom thinks this is unsafe and is not happy when he decides to take it with them for it's maiden voyage

This is the email I just received from her....


Hi Jess

Just to let you know that we have not left yet and do not know when we will. Dad is packing up the trailer and is taking it up to Pentiction. So, hopefully we will make it up there safely. If anything happens to us, please sell the house or if not there is a line on it that needs to be taken care of asap so you do not loose too much money. You will need a lawyer for this.

Love Mom


I still have laughter tears in my eyes from it

Its a Monday!

So Good News

I think I have my work visa, but I am not 100% accepted yet for I don't have it in my hand.

Today I went to the Visa Office to get my finger prints scanned and another photo taken. They now have three photos of me. I think they like my face. It seems a little excessive if they aren't going to place pictures of my solemn no smiling passport like pose on their desks and coffee mugs, don't you think?

When I was filing out my application form for the work visa there was about 20 questions asking if I was in anyways involved with a terrorist group. This can easily be asked in one question, but to make sure that you aren't lying to them they ask an extra 19 times, just rewording it, hoping to trick you into divulging your truth. Well luckily I was never part of a terrorist group, that I know of; in grade 10 I was a part of a writing club and we secretly wanted to take down the leaders, and just play mafia. I think that is as far anti-establishment I got. Anyways I found Myself wanting to ask my interviewer if she has ever come across anyone that has checked yes to those questions, but decided against it when I told her what my unique middle name means, she didn't find it funny. Hey, she asked, I figure I should tell her.

I got to work early, I took a half day, so I wasted about and hour bothering Lindsay, and then decided I should help her with her assignment. We had a great time considering how boring a job it was.

On the weekend my mother decided to give me a talk about one night stands when I am in London. It was extremely awkward. To convince my mother I am not like that I said quickly with out thinking

"I don't get girls who have one night stands"
"what do you mean, you don't get girls?"
"oh, um, i mean I don't understand girls who do that"
"oh OK, cause I am in no hurry to be a grandmother"
"Oh yeah well, me neither. to be a mom ...not a grandmother. ....I'm an old fashioned girl .....except I don't like touching... and affection... and I don't want to be treated like a princess ..... so really i guess I am not old fashioned....ummm I just... well really mom I don't like touching so there is no need to worry"

It was extremely awkward, and not even funny awkward I think.

Today while heading to my appointment I saw a balding, middle aged fat man reading Twilight. I laughed out loud when I saw this. I am proud to saw I will NEVER read the books.

My last day at work is now August 21st.

I am very Excited

Tonight I am attending an early screening of Julie and Julia with my cuz. Shall be fun!

Today is a Sad Day in the Life of Jess

My Ipod gave up on life today.

I guess it didn't want me to go to england too.

Does Apple want to give me a New Ipod. It is for a good cause, my sanity.

I swear..

Thing will be my Only Angry post. ever. Hopefully


Here we go.

Some people are stupid, not laughable funny post stupid, but an immature, childish and loves gossip and drama Stupid. I hope people my age will be classier in England.

I now believe the statistic that men actually do gossip more than women. They just don't think they do.

Disclaimer: This comment excludes those people who are more than 3 years older than me, and most of my Drama friends, and Kim. You guys Keep being you. Those of you who don't fall in this category, and are thinking...jeez I wondering if this applies to me, it might not but for your own good, and for those it does apply to, GROW UP.

Three weeks left of work!

I Have decided, thanks to lindsay, to change signature thing......

But only for her ...so far

I think I must get high while I sleep

I am allergic to Mosquitoes, I swell when I get bitten...It is not pretty.

Well Now that you know my Kryptonite, let me tell you this

I have 9 bites on my entire body!

I am a giant walking mass of itch! 3 of them are on my ass, and i have trouble not want to scratch......for obvious reasons.


I think I must sleepwalk or something because I do strange things while I sleep.... This morning I awoke naked and on top of a made bed. And I clearly remember wearing clothes to bed, and sleeping under the covers....but some how in the middle of the night my covers were made like they were a hotel bed. I slightly remember my thought process of my clothes though.

I think it went like this

JEEZ it is too noisy to wear a shirt ..... (it was actually my dog making the noise..not my shirt) so the shirt comes off
then a bit later ....
MAN Pants are not freeing, they try to keep me chained down, I will rebel. and they came off

BUT ....

I do not know why the bed was made.....


Also sometime during that time I thought it a good idea to make ice tea......... I remember this happened about 2 in the morning.


Why am I suck a Freak.....

Death is like sex in high school. If you knew how many times you missed having it, you'd be paralyzed.

"Yuck! This juice tastes like ass, here you try it!"

"No, thanks. I'm trying to stay off of the ass juice for now."

Weeks to London: 10
Weeks to end of Job: 5
Progress Of Work Visa: Waiting.


I had my first moment of intense sadness for leaving today, and it came at the weirdest time.

Lindsay made a joke about how Angela would win in a fight between me and her b/c Angela is intense and I couldn't stop laughing at the image, I started walking back to my desk, and then BOOM I teared up and a lump formed in my throat and I was like.... I won't see Lindsay or Angela for two years.............

I quickly swallowed my sadness and returned. But I know come September I am going to be an emotional wreck, saying goodbye.

People I can't think about when I plan London otherwise I tear up: IT and Angela and Lindsay from Work, Kim, My parents, My Cousin and her Husband, My Dog, Laura Stagg.

I will Miss many others but these people I see regularly and have history with. I see work people everyday, going to be a change, I love my family, Laura Stagg makes me laugh like no other (Oh the dolphin), and Kim just moved back for good, and now I am leaving.

But I know if i don't do it I will be kicking myself.

Also I have started having dreams of me telling my Parents and they haven't gone well. Last night I had 4 different versions. None Happy

I painted my finger Nails an extremely neon shade of Yellow

Excited for Girls hang out Tomorrow
Extremely excited for Saturday and cheap girly drinks avec Kim
