Once upon a time...

...there was a centipede named Crudolph. After awhile, Crudolph started to realize that he had no purpose in life, however, he did discover that his stuffed friend The Baby did have purpose in life. The baby had a jelly keyboard for her computer. Crudolph became insanely jealous, and it finally came to the point that Crudolph was spastically trying to figure The Baby’s computer password. Through sheer cunning and wit, the password came to him, and his brilliance was revealed. Like a bolt of lightning, Crudolph grabbed the keyboard and connected laptop computer, and took off running. He finally reached his destination: the Morgue, and there he lived happily ever after with the jelly keyboard; for there was no sponsor to allow The Baby to recover her lost possessions.

The end.

....i updated this site. and now, here i am typing out another update.
well, last week was pretty exciting...leading a children's institute in toronto. lots of fun, lots of good memories, lots of crazy, random, funny moments. as always, i will post some pictures, because in my opinion a picture is worth so much more than any words i could ever say............
the team....

yeah, there was the fearless story-teller and the directionally-challenged song leader....



however, miss sherry, you did tell the very best story...in fact it was by far everybody's favorite....



then there's me doing what i do best....



we also made a trip out to rattlesnake point, a conservation area built on the niagara escarpment...has some pretty sweet caves and lookouts....


any teacher we thought was an added burden to the team....well they just never made it out of the cave for the rest of the week if you want like a really good summary of our week check out the amazing teacher-trainer sherry peter's site...(did i mean amazingly lost?)
of course earlier in the break, i thought my sister missed me while she was gone to southeast asia...nope, jon taylor, guess again.....

i think that's all...it was a super awesome summer break! i had an amazing time with old friends and meeting new ones....now back to the grind stone, right? ok ok, back to the days filled with volleyball, frisbee, good laughs, and memorable meals......

Why love and chocolate? Nothing says it better than a kiss. Not just any kiss. But the kiss. Support Hershey’s, buy some chocolate.

So it’s pretty close to the middle of April, and I am wondering why it’s snowed 6 times in the last four days. Welcome to Canada. La Familia was awesomeness! Good times. Bad times. Hopefully the good outweigh the bad. We won’t mention anything, k treen? Nothing about throwing pens at extremely fat men who’ve eaten way to many danishes and only do crowd control at OUR passport picture booth because they couldn’t keep the throngs away. LOL. It was not as successful as we originally expected, however I was able to earn enough for my next school payment.

Then there was the birthday party. And the cheesecake. This wasn’t any cheesecake, it had been specially prepared for my amazing-now-14-yr-old brother by my mom and was very effectively dropped on the floor of our cold cellar. We will leave it at that. Could I mention it was a fun party though? With or without the cake.

Now it’s back at south campus. Yeah for volleyball and ultimate frizbee. I love you guys. I’m going to go for the statistics test on Friday…it’s incentive to study. Anybody need any passport pictures taken?

So I’m posting this because everyone seems to think I need to…. I’ve been super busy lately so I haven’t really had any time to update xanga, but now I’m updating so everyone can stay happy.

Things are going well around here. The weather is kinda getting warmer (at least it was for a couple days, but now it’s back to cold again), so I’ve been playing a lot of volleyball and soccer, and just hanging out having a good time with people. Sitting in class with the music students is a lot of fun….I’ve had a blast laughing with them. They’re pretty much all my hero’s for all the work they do! Of course I haven’t been studying at all….something would be seriously wrong with the world if that ever happened.

We had a St. Patrick’s Day party tonight that Ellen did a GREAT job putting together!! It was tons of fun…thanks to everyone who helped make it such an awesome party!

Well folks, that’s about it for now…

Keep the love and chocolate flowing…..
