So strangly enough I don't have the same sickness I did last post, but I'm slightly sick again. Don't you just hate those illnesses, where your not sick enough to really not do anything, but you definatly feel sick enough to do nothing! My plans today consist of watching TV, going to "Club Meat" with my Dad, which is really just where the local butcher cooks up the meat and sells sandwiches, filled with DELICIOUS, TASTY, JUICY, WONDERFUL meat and it is all good! After that I plan to go down to Vancouver to wish a big BON VOYAGE to of mine and my moms friend. A cruise down throught the Panama Canal, and then flying back to lovely Vancouver from Fort Laderdale. Of course all of my plans today could change and flip and reverse and be cancelled if the right people call, or right person.

I'm sick
Besides being somewhat messed up in the head, I have the Penhold Plauge. For those of who don't quite get it, Penhold is in Alberta, and my cousin, Middle Child, just spent the summer up there. The only problem with spending the entier summer in close quarters with 100's of other teenagers is the the flu goes around...more than once! Well she gave it to me and now I'm sick a week before school starts and it sucks!

Wierdest Dream
I had the stratngest dream right before I woke up ths morning. I woke up crying and when I really thought about I realized why. In the dream Middle Child and I had been adopted together for some reason. Well the adoptive parents wanted to keep her, but not me and since I'm 19 I had to 'declare' my independence. Well I tried say it to them but they wouldn't listen and I really didn't want to say it because if I did then, that ment I would have to leave Middle Child and never see her again. Well I went around to the back of the car they were sitting in and screamed through the window to the 'parents' if they could hear me and I said it to Middle Child but as I was saying it I started to cry.
"I *Full Name* declare my indepenence from my carers and agree to move out of the family home. I lay claim to half the profits from the sale of the home, and agree not to forward any bills for personal needs, food, housing, or school to your new address. In addition I agree not to contact (this is where I started crying in the dream) *Middle Child* under any circumstances, and in exchage, on the eve of her 19th birthday I will come take custody of her."
It was the strangest dream and when I woke up I had tears streaming down my cheeks. It all makes sense in a twisted way though. Last night Middle Child said we were the closest things to sisters we each had ever had (since neither of us have sisters) and I guess that's why in the dream I became her 'sister'. Also, I think right now I am really anxious about moving out eventually and the bills with school and everything else I've been getting pu me in quite a bit of debt. At the same time I think I subconsiensly realize that that's all part of growing up and I just need to deal with it, but Middle Child will be there for me if and when I really need her. The part about the house is super clear because we're trying to see our house right now! I think the part about me wanting to take custody of her is my wanting to protect her, and right about the time I was having my dream she was probably on her way to get her wisdom teeth out!
It was interesting way to wake up and my day really seemed to go downhill when I took a sip of my coffee on the drive out and it was ICE COLD, nothing worse then COLD COFFEE, at least when your expecting hot!

A-hem
A few words (ahem) "Noodle, bicycle, mint, chopstick, necktie, roast beef." Thank you.
I'm going out tonight and it'll be the first time I've been to a club in Vancouver. We're going out to the Stone Temple with Richmond No More for her 19th birthday!
I figured the clubbing would be quite similar to the clubbing in England, but according to Other England Girl it's quite different, and I will apperently be dissappointed?
We'll see!

provender \PROV-uhn-duhr\, noun:

Wow, that really doesn't affect my life at all! It may have previously when I used to own a horse, and it would if I ever joined the Army like Brother, but for right now I just need to go eat a decent, full meal before I go out drinking for the night!

Connected
Mom and I were on our computers, and she turned hers off stating she was " Off the airwaves" And I replied "No your not, not really. No one ever is, not anymore."
We got into quite the discussion about technology and how quickly it's evolved, especially in the last 5 years! I noted that in our house alone ( now that Brother is home) we have 3 computers, all hooked up to a network together, and wireless internet. 3 cellphones, a land line, a fax line and at least two TVs set up on cable.
My earliest memory of technology is when we switched from dial up to cable hook-up internet, and now we're on wireless! The advances are inspiring and disturbing!
Mom told me all about her real life experiences with the newest technological developments, ie. actually having a PC! Being the first person on her street to have a computer in her own home, and this was 20 years ago!!
Her favorite story about that old thing is:
"I was writing up the Christmas Card list and accidently hit the wrong button, and 'Oh Shit'! The computer was now re-orgnizing the list in alphabetacal order. So, I went upstairs, cooked dinner, we ate dinner, I cleaned the dishes, we had coffee and watched a little TV. I went downstairs and the computer was just about done! Oh, did I mention there were 110 names on the list?! Two and a half hours for 110 names!!!!"
Technology is a scary thing, I just hope we one day catch up with ourselves.

robustious \roh-BUHS-chuhs\, adjective:
1. Boisterous; vigorous.
2. Coarse; rough; crude.
I say that 'boisterous' is a positive word...lively!
But I've always believed 'crude' to be a negitive word...rude!
How confusing, but none-the-less I will definatly try to use that word tomorrow!
