RANDOM RAMBLINGS

I think the novelty of blogging has worn off. I don't know if I'll keep it up. It has just become one more thing I have to do. I think this is partly because of all the computer problems I have had the last few weeks. I am just sick of anything computer realated. I think it is mostly because I miss talking to people. I miss the sound of my friends' voices on the phone. I have lots of friends here that I love and hang out with lots. But I miss the good ol' standards, the people I grew up with, have known for years.
I love reading blogs but I don't like getting little tidbits of people's lives. I want hear the whole story. It's fun to laugh at people, but it is so much more fun to laugh with them. I miss those times when you hanging out with good friends and you laugh so hard you cry or almost pee your pants. Those are the special moments that make life worth while.

Changing gears...
I think I am going to do some serious research here in the next few weeks. I'm going to try and find out if there is some medical condition which causes a person to be overly snotty or full of boogers. Embarassing moments involving the nose have plagued me for a years. Perhaps I am allergic to boys. The majority of my snot stories occur around males. Like this week I was getting help with a chem lab from a friend, and out of absolutely nowhere my nose drips on my page. I wiped it off as fast as possible, I really hope he didn't see. But I guess who cares if he did, I'm not trying to impress anybody. But how gross is that, really. I had no forwarning, it just dripped. Oh well.

Being my always graceful and agile self, I managed to rip another pair of jeans. This time it was only on the knee, no where embarassing. Well the rip wasn't embarassing but how I got the rip was. It is really really icy outside.

On yet another note...
I think I am going to be staying in Saskatoon for the summer. I have a lot of options open right now. I have applied for a few jobs, got involved in stuff with my church, might do some summer classes, in the process of getting a little sister, might be involved with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship doing some summer admin stuff and gettting ready for next year. I can't do it all, but I am not sure what all I should do. So if you think about it your prayers would be appreciated. Especially for the Intervaristy thing.

I've never really been a fan of "clubs". They always seem to me to be pretty exclusive. But I have got some things that I would really like to see happen on campus and IVCF seems to be the place where I can get the encouragement and connections to make things happen. Lord willing obviously. I am hesitant though to officially be a part of a "club". As soon as your are you get a label, and people see you as a certain way depending on what club you belong to. This is the way it is on campus. Campus for Christ are the "pushy evengelist" Christians, Intervarsity are the "shy, no one even knows exist" Christians, etc. While I have been told by friends that with a laugh like mine how can people not know I exist, I am afraid of the stereotype. I don't want to be a certain type of Christian. I just want to love Jesus and for people to see that. It will all work out thought, because the Lord knows what plans he has for me.

In order to avoid writing a novel on my thoughts I will end here.

P.S. Checkout 24-7saskatoon.blogspot.com, I wrote a little blurb there. It's the site for the prayer group that we have going on here.

Hi:If you are staying in Saskatoon for the summer you can always stop in here for a day or two, if you can find the time. Glad to hear you are thinking about IVCR, our church supports that group and I have heard a lot of good things about them. Guy addresses some of their functions, so I know he would be willing to answer any of your questions if he could. About the nose, you could have some sinus problems best to get it checked out soon.
Take care

chantal i would kill for the chance to sit with you and talk and talk, and pee our pants laughing! (figuratively or literally). or for the gum to roll out of my mouth and for me not to even notice!
guess i'm just saying that i love you, and really miss having someone who KNOWS me, even with great friends here it feels pretty lonely some days.
i love you. -K

I hear you on the blogging thing. Once the semester is over and my marks aren't dependent on how often I blog for my computer class, I highly doubt I will continue. As for the nose problem, I have one thing to say - SNOT ROCKET! Yep, it's more fun to laugh with you than at you. Hey, if you stay in Saskatoon this summer we might actually get to see each other more often! Maybe we should invest in diapers for the laughing part...

Chantal,
