SCARY.
whenever i fill out personality surveys, quizzes, or look at my horroscope (2 r's or 1?), i end up with results that use words like "jealous", "dark", "passionate" and so on. IT MUST BE TRWUE!
i flew through a cloud by myself today for the first time. it was SCARY. for some reason, i couldn't wrap my tiny little head around the fact that clouds aren't solid and there wouldn't be an impact. but it was coming at me so fast, and the clouds were all around, there was no escaaape! you're not used to feeling like you're going fast when you're high in the air, and i was bracing myself for a huge impact. then i was inside, and i kept giggling. maybe it was a lack of oxygen.
plus there was a BEE with a GREEN HEAD trapped in the cockpit with me. it was going crazy, bouncing around. whenever there are bugs in the plane when i fly, i always wonder if they'll explode from pressure changes.
i was practicing forced approaches (i.e. landing when your engine's quit) over some farmer's fields. i flew pretty low over this one field but had to ..ugh..abort.. becauase i didn't realize there were cows in the field. i guess i scared them because they started running when i flew over. they looked like little brown jelly beans or dark, milk, and vanilla chocolate sprinkles.
..dark, milk, and vanilla chocolate sprinkles?
what..
so jen and josh visited me yesterday. i was so surprised, i think i had a minor heart attack. we went to the locks, like i said before. it was the first time i had been back since we all went and wrote our names on the side of the train tracks. it was really great to see the names again, and to sit and talk. they were impressed by ttown, oddly enough.
i'm going to see hairspray this wed-ness-day. i have to sit by myself in the very back, tucked in the corner. my mom's practice got tickets from a drug rep, but my mom's really big on sharing these kind of moments with us. so i'm not even sitting near her, but it'll be good anyway. i loike musicals.
i've started emailing melissa and julie and jen and calcmike again. i always get like this during the summer. suddenly trying to reconnect with everyone.
man, i can't believe the conservatives might win. i think people are too hard on the liberals. they keep blaming stuff that jean chretien did on paul martin. they keep forgetting about the whole drama of paul martin and jean chretien having a political falling out. the scandal's bad, but in my opinion, the platform of the conservatives will be more damaging than losing .25 billion, in the end. this is such a huge election for our generation, because by the time all the effects of the next term are felt, we'll be the ones who have to deal with most of the consequences.
anyway, i still think i'm pretty uninformed about this whole thing.
paul martin always looks like he's going to cry.
it's always so surprising to see politicians speak in french. primarily english ones, i mean.
the debates are always so cluttered. i remember last election when there were 5 party leaders all talking at once. it seemed so ridiculous and overthetop. i wonder if they tried to find translators who sounded like the leaders. jack layton translated is a little nasally, and gilles has a french accent.
i dislike mix 97 so much.
i need to figure out a way to use the pictures from my Canada landscapes and Emily Carr calendars to decorate my room nicely. i can't think of anyway other than to just cover a wall with them, but i think that'll look pretty bad.
that's it.
