My little nalgene bottle delivered me a huge gulp of a bolus of water and when I tried to swallow it, water started shooting out my nose!

9:59 pm - Pub Crawl Pictures
|
As promised, here are some pictures of my Blossom costume from the Superhero Pubcrawl. Unfortunately there aren't any clear shots to capture the costume in its full glory.
Only one person in the whole pub crawl knew who I was; that made me sad.
From left to right there is ??? in the wig and glasses, Aaron, Tracy, Me, Batman and Tara.
Darren is the one "surprising women since 1996", and I can't remember who the 2 other people are
Ashley as Elastigirl, Jon and Aaron as the Trainees, Rich as the Coach, ??? as a little boy dressed as a superhero, Me as Blossom, and Jamie as She Ra
Pam's picks for best costumes: Thor, god of thunder and Megaman.

5:39 pm - Totally Creeped out!
|
For my Anatomy class, we have a lab component. In it we dissect cadavers. Today, I got my first case of The Creeps. We were dissecting the hand and I was trying to clean away the fascia and fat around the thumb and so I tried pulling the thumb out a bit and it FELT LIKE IT WAS PULLING BACK!!!! It didn't help that our guy's hand is still fairly normal looking (some of the other bodies have curled up fingers or the skin is discolored or some other feature that makes them not look alive.)
I neahly got the vapouhs!
Sorry, that was supposed to be read in southern belle accent, hence the H's instead of R's

Yays! I am going to the pub crawl as Blossom from the Powerpuff Girls. All I need is a big pink bow and my costume will be GOLD!
The question is do I reuse the costume for Hallowe'en? I guess that will be a matter of how much time I have to make one of my original halloween costume ideas: Jail Escapee or Tinkerbell. Or maybe another forbidden love child?

The Results are in:
1. Speaking objectively and non-flirtatiously, you have the most alluring voice of any girl I know.
2. The Oreo Sundae at Denny's. It's really amazingly lethally sweet.
3. Olive green.
4. Those cute/funny little illustrations you drew in the margins of Ross' Chemistry 11 textbook, which I later inherited.
5. UN Model Assembly, 2001: you wore blue jeans, white shirt and red undershirt because we were the United States. Also, Geoff announced we were present during attendance and everyone laughed because he sounded like Worf from Star Trek. Sadly, that laughter would be stilled by the horrific events of Model September 11.
6. A...monkey? No, wait: an orangutan. Like those robe-wearing, staff-toting orangutans from Planet of the Apes.
7. Why the blue-eye contacts? Are you still wearing those?
I completed #2 Friday night. We had some of the slowest service at Denny's; it was slow for Denny's even. And the sweetness was not exaggerated. It was like a giant thing of the good part of ice cream cake. Based on the fact I went to Denny's, you may have surmised that I went out to THE BAR. I even stayed all the way until the bar closed! That hasn't happened in forever!
Why blue contacts? For a change and to have the spice. I break them out from time to time still
Another thing of note: The first sexy shenanigan of PT happened at the bar. Just 2 classmates making out, but with 60 girls and 12 guys, it can only get juicier from here!
current mood:  ditzy

7:20 pm - First day of School
|
What a looong day. It was all orientation, which is just sitting and listening, but paying attention all day gives me a headache.
Tomorrow is the first real day of class, starting at 8am :-(
Here are the extra curriculars I plan to join:
Ultimate
Underwater Hockey
Toastmasters
Volleyball
I just learned earlier today how underwater hockey works. I am pumped to give it a try! If I like it, I'm gonna try to convince my team to do a 'Swimming V'!

12:55 am - Scariest Spider Evar
|
There is one of those mean looking spiders sitting on the shelf I am about to disassemble. You know, the ones that have the tiny heads with the much larger thorax/abdomen. I don't trust it at all. I am hoping that it will disappear on its own without confrontation.
I am beginning to think the Pog of Millard Fillmore doesn't actually have his picture on it. Earlier tonight, the topic of hot presidents came up again, and I mentioned that Fillmore was my favorite. When I got home I did a google image search of his name and found only pictures of an ugly old coot, not the young bedroom-eyed go-getter that is on my pog at all. I think I'll need to rethink about the question of who is the hottest president

11:15 pm - I wonder if I could restore MY manhood?
|
So I just saw this Hummer ad on TV. The slogan was "Restore your Manhood" All I have to say is wow, that has got to be the worst ad I've ever seen in my whole life.
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't want, don't want, don't want, don't want no...

4:37 pm - Ow, ow ow!
|
So I was minding my own business, sitting in the hammock, reading and listening to music. Out of nowhere I feel a stinging feeling on my shin, so I look down, and somehow a bee had gotten trapped in the folds of my skirt and it had the nerve to sting me!
ooh!

1:32 pm - I am such a Mark.
|
This story begins a couple months ago. Specifically the day everyone but me had soooooo much fun at playland. I was waiting at the bus stop to go to Sam's for the BBQ they were having afterward (bitter aside: lowest energy bbq I have ever seen). Its about 9pm and this woman comes up to me and she goes into this sob story about how her son is sick and in the hospital in Surrey, and he's taken a turn for the worse, and her husband is in a wheelchair, and so they need a special taxi to get there, but they don't have the money to pay for it. Now at first I am thinking that she is scamming me (HandyDarts only cost $2.25 for person in chair + attendant), but she is on the verge of tears, and seems legitimately distressed. I only had less than $.50 in pennies, nickels and dimes in my wallet, so was not too concerned about whether or not she was for real, and handed over the change.
On Saturday, on the way home from the Bon Ton, a woman comes up to me and I immediately recognise her before she even opens her mouth, and know exactly what she is going to say. I was totally scammed! She got something like $.38 cents from me. I will never believe anyone's sob story ever again
On Sunday, I did the Grouse Grind with Cathryn. When we arrived, less than a minute after getting out of the car I got crapped on by a bird! Other than that the only thing I have to say about that is the people who do it all the time are nuts! It is not even that nice of a hike, you can't see anything until the top, and its just stairs all the way up.

10:05 pm - Homeward Bound
|
After realizing that we had done all of the major things that we'd wanted to do, and that we were running low on $$$, Kim and I decided to look into whether we could switch to an earlier flight. It turned out that the only flight that had space was June 22 2 am (later tonight). So in a split decision we decided boot it, amazing race style up from Arica to Lima to catch the flight. We should be in Vancouver airport 6pm tomorrow night.
The day before yesterday we took the bus from La Paz to Arica. We got to watch bootleg movies on the bus! Garfield, King Kong, The Day After Tomorrow. Garfield was the highlight because I could actually follow what was going on. I also scored some digits while on the bus. The bus steward came up to me halfway through the trip and handed me a piece of paper with a name, phone number and email address on it. I didn't understand what he was saying to me, but apparently the paper was from this creepy old guy with a beard and moustache who was snoring earlier in the trip
There wasn't all that much to do in Arica. We saw 2 buildings designed by Gustav Eifel, and hung out on the beach (deserted because it is almost winter solstice). The couple who run the hotel we stayed at spoke French and Spanish, and it is amazing how much more French I understand compared to Spanish. And here I thought I'd forgotten everything I'd learned in Trios-Riviéres. I can't remember how to say anything in French, however.

12:13 pm - Back from the Jungle
|
That's right, we are back in La Paz.
The jungle was amazingly beautiful, but suffocatingly humid. I am glad to be back in the dry altiplano that's for sure. Kim is the exact opposite, she doesn't like the cool dry air or the cold nights. We have decided that this is probably because I was brought up in the altiplano-ish area of of BC and Kim was brought up in the rainforest area.
Anyways, the next morning our flight did leave for Rurrenabaque, then returned to La Paz after take off because it was too foggy to land, and then left again about an hour later and arrived! There were people on our flight who had been waiting for 4 days to get to Rurre, but then, they did keep rescheduling for the 2nd flight of the day instead of the first.
2 of the Waiting For 4 Days crowd were booked at the same ecolodge as us. The one guy from Australia was such a long-winded, know-it-all, who didn't know any spanish at all and didn't even make any effort to try. And he spoke down to our guide whenever the guide didn't understand right away what he was talking about. UGGH.
We spent the first day in Rurrenebaque, which is a very small place, with not much to do other than book tours and go to the bar. So we did go to the bar, and watched part of some big soccer thing that's going on right now, hahah, that's right, the World Cup. I wouldn't have remembered that it was going on other than lots of other travellers have been talking about it.
Later in the evening, we went to our first Karaoke bar! There are tonnes of them all over the place. We went with 2 of the Waiting for 4 Day-ers (not obnoxious Australian thankfully), and our tour guide, Sergio. The karaoke machine gave you a rating at the end of your song for how well you sang. I kept getting 98%s, which must mean I am just an awesome karaoke singer. I think it actually had to do with how loud you sang, because as the night went on locals who were actually good singers started coming in, and they were scoring lower.
The next morning we departed for the Chalalan Ecolodge. The lodge is run by a village in the rainforest. All of the guides, cooks, boat drivers; everyone that works there is part of the vilage. We saw two types of monkeys, heard howler monkeys, saw tarantulas, caimens (an alligator-like creature). We went on hikes and canoe rides. The canoes were made out of giant logs and we didn't have to do any actual paddling, our guide did it all (the lake was very still, it probably wouldnt be hard).
I have decided that I don't like the jungle. I found the air in the forest hard to breath. It was so warm and humid that it felt like I wasn't getting any fresh air when I was breathing. It also creeped me out how damp everything was: the bedding, all my clothes. It makes me feel like everything is rotting.
Yesterday we went by boat from the lodge to Rurre. The drivers on the way back were younger than the drivers on the way up, they also hit quite a few more rocks. Kim and I joked that this was probably due to the recklessness of youth. After that we flew back to La Paz; our flight left as scheduled, which was unexpected.

6:18 pm - Stuck in La Paz
|
|
Just spent all day at La Paz's airport waiting for a flight to Rurrenabaque, which was finally cancelled 8+ hours after it was scheduled to depart. We'll be doing it all again tomorrow, all for that sweet Amazon. Rurre has bad internet, so I will be incomunicado for 4 days minimum, more if our return flight gets delayed, which is not unlikely.
