Dream

5:45am PDT Wednesday 10 August 2005

Playing soccer on a big soccer field with a bunch of players. I was not being very aggressive; people were moving the ball down the field (as they do) and I decided to play offense, and I kept sneaking past people as the ball was coming toward me. I would sneak past the next person, basically tracking the ball back and forth and basically jump past the next person. Then then ball went next to me and I got past it and then it got close to me and I was like 'woahwoah' and kicked it into the goal, and there was no goalie, but it just went barely past the line and I got a point for our team. The game was over or I was done, and then Greg came up, and was like "we're going to make you a plaque." and I was like, "cool." "Now you're name is spelled with three N's right?" he joked, but I was like, "well, actually, if you use Robert Nugen Junior" there are three N's. He goes, "but if you use Jr there are only 2 N's"

Morning

9:49am PDT Wednesday 10 August 2005

Welcome to a new timezone. Welcome to having eaten after 35 hours of fasting. I was actually okay when I woke up, but after eating, I felt a little light headed. I'm sure it's a combination of energy going to my stomach to process the food and lack of energy to go around.

Just had a lesson with my Quiet Girls, and it was like, oh god

AND guess who wrote me a letter after promising that she wouldnt: Hitomi! aw god; stop writing me fucking letters!

I haven't read it yet; I am worried about the state of my brain: 50% chance she says something that makes me crazy.

No longer hungry

12:18pm PDT Wednesday 10 August 2005

I'm done being wiped out from hunger. That was good.

The waves are really rough with really short wavelengths. So the ship is not all that rocky, but it is a little bit.

Just had lunch with Katt, Petra, Natalie, Carissa, and then Shawn came to replace Petra and Carissa who ran off to smoke. Shawn showed us his wonderfully edited video for "are you gonna be my girl?" featuring Miki (in Shawn's class, not the perfect-bi-lingual 16 year old Miki) and Yama, who is in my class.

Totally invigorating!

3:45pm PDT Wednesday 10 August 2005

I'm on the wooden deck part around the pool and it's TOTALLY cold-windy, and I TOTALLY have to pee, and the water is TOTALLY waving in the pool and occasionally gooshing over my feet, which is TOTALLY cool so it's *totally* invigorating in three completely distinct ways.

Whoooo!

Audrey's Vancouver Port Orientation was funny cause it was fuckin' written exactly the way she talks with all her wicked fun and crazy ass language crazy mad tunes. Hilarious!

We are still looking for Francois; I am suspicious of most English speakers, which is mostly just the GET Teachers.

The water is an ugly brown green color, like old dried moss filled scabs. Now I'm going to dinner.

Nicole asked me if I had any art on the boat after I described my style of painting to her when I was chillin' with her, Petra, and Matt the Artist in Agora while he was painting. I said I didn't, but would be happy to draw/paint one for her. Matt donated a heavy sheet of paper and I put a few marks on it.

What was really weird is having Petra and Nicole both say "you should talk to Tracy at the Pink Cow" when Matt said he was looking for space to sell his paintings.

get to know Kim

6:48pm PDT Wednesday 10 August 2005

Kim, with whom I was quite madly in love at the beginning of the trip, is having her GET To Know Kim presentation today. I'm gonna eat and go to that.

Kim is awesome because she was born on 29 February, 25 years ago. She has a science-oriented family. She studied linguistics in university.

We are at the fashion show rehearsal. It is incredibly late and incredibly not up my alley. All the girls are getting all dolled up and it's like dude; it's just a rehearsal..
