Why iPhone users are annoying

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to 6 other girls on a birthday
trip to Bowen Island.  I know the birthday girl, but the rest.. not so much.

It was A LOT of fun. we relaxed in their insane waterfront house, enjoyed delicious
food, and played games.

The weekend sadly came to an end, and we drove to the ferry to get in line.
There was about a 20 minute wait.. so we parked the car and chilled out.

Immediately, every girl in my car pulled out her iPhone. One girl had a blackberry.. but thats similar.

They played games.. facebooked.. texted.. chatted..it all looked.. quite fun.

now here i am..with my LG Rumor.. no iPhone(even though I am a web developer and I’m supposed to have these sort of things) in this car with 4 girls that i dont really know that well.  Normally, i would be like..
“GET OFF YOUR PHONES YOU PUNKS and talk to me!!” but.. that would kind of be awkward.

so i just sat there.

*twiddles thumbs*

*looks around*

*whistles*

*siiigggggggghhh*

its not like I can. draw pictures on the window.. or write..read. cause we are all squished in this tiny
car and I am in the middle!!

 

I hate iPhone users. we cannot even talk to each other!!!

Now, i must recognize in this rant, that even though i hate iPhone users, i STILL want to be one.

However, I would not neglect conversation in favor of that little gadget no matter how tempting it may be!

there are real people out there you know.. with mouths and stuff.

 

*end rant*

Halloweeeeen

Last night we made costumes and hopped on the sky train.

pumpkins

i made the one on the left :D so happy

We were pleased to be met by a sky train car full of costumed folk.
We waved and everyone let out a little cheer.. like football fans of the same team all getting together for a game.
Along the way, we’d compliment others outfits.. give high fives.. dance .. and SMILE.

There’s a unity that occurs on Halloween.. Every is crazy looking, and probably slightly drunk.  I wish that all days could be like this.

its rare.. that we are so nice to people we dont know.  so rare that we strike up conversations like we’ve known them forever.
I guess costumes give us a path.. a reason to talk to people.
While normally, we might look like creepers.. Halloween sets us free.

its sad in a sense.. that we’ve almost lost the ability to communicate with
one another.. but at least there are still times of fun!

hooray for fun!

Wherever you go, there you are.

Content.

I feel this emotion today, as it smells of life outside this old building..and it LOOKs of life outside
this old building. In fact, I don’t know how much longer I can sit in this office
*swivels side to side on rolling desk chair*

I was not built for the office..i was built for the SEA, rocks..eARth..Sky..
disappearing paths into the wilderness, and shacks made of twigs, straw and mud.
I love this city, but sometimes I am unhappy that I have in multiple ways become
child of “the city” the scuttling and materialism and

STUFF.

OH, how I HATE you STUFF. You ruin me.
I miss my brother Joel, for he has taught me how to live freely of ..things..

To paint you a picture. imagine me..holding the word “things”
Its brownish black, and soggy..I pinch it ever so carefully with my thumb and forefinger…pulling it away from my body with a stiff, straight arm. I want to drop it, but its sticky, and no matter how many times I transfer it…it just adheres to the next finger.

I have hope, and I will continue to free myself of these things. Today, it doesnt worry me…

but I am aware of it…and I guess, thats all that matters. Denial is the true thing to fear.

I’ve been reading about how people often say

“I just have to get out of this city”

as if the city is the problem….

Then people often find, that wherever they go, their same problems and character issues go with them, because the problem was NEVER with the city, it was with them.

So HERE is to

dealing with our crap..

to staring it in the face, and knowing that God is GOOD, and FAITHFUL.

He does not judge us for the process.

i want to climb. soon. soon.

Go.

Yes..off we go in 5…7-Passenger Vans, and one 15 passenger.
Off to peace, and fun I’m sure.

Its an exciting time…cause I’m never sure what will happen there.
I’m never sure how i’ll be challenged, or how I’ll meet with you.

I think I’m most excited to relax on the dock. I know there’s all
this hype..there’s all these new people and crazy things…
but i really love the times where I hang my feet over the edge
and watch the fish here:

So yes we’re off.
Off we go.

I’m bringing my sketch pad. It will be glorious :)
