who's that girl? (madonna)

this is lia (and her doggie). lia is darren's 2nd cousin (i think... his cousin luisa's daughter, anyways). she is 7 and awesome and adorable. i met her when we were visiting in nova scotia and we went for an adventure down a giant hill on a gravel road and took some paths into the woods to see where they led. i had so much fun with her!! i got this email from luisa today...

Hi Chrissy,  I gave Lia her letter from you and she was so excited to get mail.
She read it and then sat down on the couch and said "Oh I Love Chrissy"

no one's leaving (jane's addiction)

dude, matt good is a god. no, i don't think you quite understand the godliness of his rockability. is it october 29th yet? no? damn! how 'bout now? shut up, chrissy? ok. sorry.

anyways, enough about matt... being back in school is a hard thing to adjust to. it's not really "school", but i have to go and sit through a day of class and do assignments and read and stuff. i can't believe that a 6 day course is going to give me all that i need to become a teacher in a foreign country. mama, i'm scared!!

so, i get an email from gayle the other day. she called herself a dink, etc. so i write her back a schpeel (i have no idea how to spell that) that was basically like "blah blah blah, i still love you" and crap like that and i end it with "where the hell are you?" so she sends me one of those "answer the questions" emails and she's filled it out and only sent it to me. question 20 asked "who do you miss the most?" and her answer was "my friends in edmonton" and then another question further down was "what are your living arrangements?". gayle lives in virginia. at least now i know where she is and that she's ok and she's talking at me again. big life changes though that i wish i could have been a part of. miss ya, loser!

~ sean is moving this weekend
~ scott and candice are living together
~ i wish i could do more for mike
~ going to lisa's for pie later
~ i'm a good cook
~ change isn't easy

now is it october 29th? damn it!!

oh be joyful (matt good)

"oh be joyful, 'cause that shit spreads"

matthew good is coming!! matthew good is coming!! i am so damn excited. seriously, like way more than ever before. it's his tour for the new album (out sept. 20th!!) which is kinda like a greatest hits collection. it's got a cd of all of his previously released singles, one of acoustically reworked songs and stuff from b-sides, AND a dvd of all the videos. needless to say, i've already ordered a copy!!

what's my name? (snoop dogg)

well, his name is simon. and that's his daddy, james. james and vicky are so freakin' happy!! it's so awesome. they are a family. it was so great to see them again. vicky wouldn't let me take her picture though. next time, she said.

new (no doubt)

more pictures... yay!! part of downtown edmonton at night, our popcorn poster that james drew for our wedding gift, cam & d watching football at cam's new place, and mike in our kitchen making juice...

happy sunday
happy mike with vicky
happy bobby and allie having a baby
happy sunflowers from j

8 days a week (the beatles)

C says: morning, geek

rottenbrain says: your a geek

C says: you are a bigger geek

rottenbrain says: nuh uh

C says: it's true, i heard it from somebody

rottenbrain says: well theyre a geek

rottenbrain just sent you a Nudge!

C says: not as big of a geek as you are

C winks: Play "Guitar Smash"

C says: so there

rottenbrain says: angela just called me a geek too. it must be true

C says: i already told you that it was true

rottenbrain says: she diddnt even know what we were talking about

C says: then it is definitely true

that was my conversation with sean this morning... we are very mature.

all that i need (blind melon)

so i'm trying out a new color cuz i am pretty bored with pink. and have you noticed the new font? huh? have ya? well... it's different, i swear.

what else is different? well, i didn't get the supervisor job. basically, i turned it down... after lots of thought and stress, i decided that i don't have any experience working with groups or community partners. and i was told lots of stuff in my interview that i wasn't really clear on before about what else the job would require of me. so... that's what happened. i decided that i would like to get some experience with groups so i am going to be the part-time youthworker for the project and get to do all of the fun stuff with the kids, but not have like any responsibility. and i am able to keep working with the kids i have right now 1:1. i feel better and better about the decision everyday. yay yay yay!!

i've been thinking about d lots already today. i love him. especially like this...
