Another Runaway.

It's too late.

It's 12:48am and I have to be up at 3am, doubting sleep will come tonight. I like sleeping on planes anyways. Oh my have the last few days been crazy. Suddenly tonight I decided to actually dig up my ticket and check what time I leave tomorrow, check the weather in Vietnam and make sure I had American cash. Things you'd think I would of thought of earlier. Little did I know its been raining in Vietnam for seven straight days. Might need a rain jacket? So I borrowed one from a friend. Then realized I needed the back of my extra passport photos signed by a pastor or doctor, so i went to my pastors house at 930 at night. Oh and I just booked my ticket from Korea to Vietnam today. Talk about last minute.
And today excitment finally set it cause things started to seem as if they were actually happening. I think my family didnt really think I was going to go through with this, they seemed kind of upset today.
oh ps i'm going to be an auntie in october and i'm STOKED!
And............ I'm gone!

Gold Lion.


My stomach hurts, and I bit almost all my nails. I think I'm nervous.
I can't sit still either which has been good, I've gotten lots done and been pretty productive. Even sitting visiting with a friend my hands are constantly moving, stitching clothing, sorting bills and mail, and photos. This week has been back to back drop ins, and hangouts and appointments. I'm going to Carman for the weekend to escape the busyness of the city.

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind.

Heaven Forbid.


I havent slept in past noon, in probably close to two years.
k maybe there was one time in there. maybe.
i got outta bed at three today. it was magnificent. unproductful, but wonderful. I decided i'll start being productful monday. lots to do! the weathers been awesome and i wanna take advantage of that too. My goals are to take lots of pictures, sort out my belongings, rest up, and enjoy this wonderful situation ive got. Ive got a couple things, appointments etc to do but i think i'll spend as much time in carman as i can. save money and take advantage of good meals!
This was my day, cause i'm wide awake. I like this.

Burn that Broken Bed.



What I want from this
is to learn to let go
no not of you
of all that i've been told
killers re-invent and believe
and it leans on me, like a rootless tree.

Delicate.

Part 1. Is to quit my job and go to Asia. First stop is South Korea to visit a dear friend, Tyler Sommerfeld originally from Winnipeg mb. Fellow Camp Nutimik'er working in Seoul teaching English. I'll spend 5-7 ish days there before heading to Ho Chi minh, Vietnam which is the primary destination of my trip. I will be spending four weeks working in an orphanage. I'm not sure what this all entails, but playing, helping with food, games etc... Its a mon-fri thing so I hope some weekends I will venture about Vietnam and possibly pop over to laos, maybe even singapore where my second cousin lives. After Vietnam I have two weeks to see as much of Cambodia and Thailand as I can (not enough time i know). I'm returning home only because Renee and Kyle are getting married June 6th.
I really wouldnt return cause I have NO idea what I'm doing for summer.
Part 2. WAS to work on a fishing lodge, resort, something or that nature. Make money you know? But a job I was counting on fell through and I havent had much luck since then. So I've actually got quite excited about spending another summer in Winnipeg. Summer is when Winnipeg finally gets fun. So i'll just get a job and hopefully save SOME money, I mean, it'll be fine. I wanna a completely unstressful and carefree job. I wanna serve coffee or work in a book store. Nothing that keeps me afterhours, worrying, makes me cry... etc. you know. fun. light.

Part 3. is school which seems to be panning out as long as student loans fall into place. But i dont see any problems. I just need to figure out where to live, hopefully downtown. Close to school. I guess I'll need a place for June if I'm staying. After school I figure it'll be about time to leave the country again. We'll see!

Tiny Dancer.

Is this not the cutest thing you've ever seen?


Anyways, I have a fun weekend with the twins, and then this little lady is my brothers neice. (on the other side, no its not my kid). Busy week unfortunately. Not much time for much.

1. I got accepted into photography school for fall.
2. I don't have a job lined up for summer yet, and I think I'd be ok with being in Wpg. (If I have to)
3. Autopac is blaming me for being rear ended. (?!)
4. My friend Farrell from BC is coming to visit this month!
5. the world stopped turning and I have a day off Saturday and am going to nothing!

Thats really pretty much it.

Lost and Found.


Its a wonderful thing, realizing what you have.
And even better realizing what you've had is still there.
