Memoirs

Memoirs, as someone put it, are slices of life. They're just a small but significant portion of the whole story. And that's what this is -- snippets of my story.

Thoughts on long trips in vans

I called my brother today. I got his voicemail. The chick that says, "7... 2... 1... 2... 9... 1... 0... 2... 7... 1... is not available. Please leave a message after the tone" sounded like she had a cold today. It was very sad. I hope she feels better soon. Lol

Things are going great with Prepare. Yay! I talked to the person in charge at school and he told me that the senate didn't have their act together so we won't go before Senate until after break. But, he gave us temporary status as a recognized club so we could do anything a normal club would do except ask for money. God is good! I'm going to show Tony the rooms we can choose from tomorrow so he can tell me which one to request when I go to scheduling on Friday morning. Our first meeting will be 3/23. It's SO exciting!

I feel really sad right now. Something was not brought to completion last night and I should have called someone tonight to explain. Nate always says "What about MJ?" whenever I see him and I always respond, "What ABOUT MJ?" which makes everyone laugh really hard. He somehow got the idea that it was making me upset (it totally WASN'T) and I just never got a chance to explain why I said something else about it last night. I feel really bad.

I realized today that I have a very big bubble. I'm going to be in a van with 11 other people for 8 hours. This notion really bothers me. I really don't care to get to know people well enough to know how everyone smells and who snores and who likes to eat nachos on long roadtrips. I might have to sit between Chad and Nate. What happens if I want to sleep? Dude -- I'd totally have to sleep on someone.... In the event that I wanted to sleep and my choice in pillows was Chad or Nate, who would I pick? Chad's like all married (although his wife ran off with some other dude and is going to have that dude's baby now and he doesn't really know where she is right now) so that might be a little weird. And Nate's like.... single. And that would be almost as weird. Or even worse yet, I might have to sit between two people I don't know.... I'd rather sleep on someone I knew (even if it was uncomfortable) than on a stranger....

This van thing brings back memories of Cru trips -- specifically last year at this time when I totally sat in the back seat of a minivan for 26 hours on our way to Big Break in Florida. And when I sat in the back of another minivan for 3 hours on our way to Trek in Wisconsin. That was SO fun.... It's when I learned to sleep in a car. But I HAVE to have my down blanket or it doesn't work out....

Maybe I'll ask the boys if I can sleep on them. Lol
