I'm writing just before I leave for The Rescue!
It's an event with Invisible Children, that's sort of a peacful protest to do something about the child soldiers in Uganda.
Joseph Koney is using these kids (8-14 yrs old!) to mutilate and kill people in the area of northern uganda, sudan, and the congo.
I've been wearing the gear for the past week (since it was back ordered so much I didn't get it until then)
I'm all packed and ready to go! I have my camera to go document what's going on. I'm on film. Kenny is on pictures. :D
Well, I'm leaving in 7 minutes! I'm going to go double check and gather my things!
Come Rescue me!

Spring Break
I wish I could say that I'm posting from my home in San Diego, all cozy in my bed with some french toast sitting next to me that my brother brought up. But I can't.
I'm back at school already, that one week flew by so fast, even though coming back here I feel like I was gone for months.
I did, however, get one lovely morning just like the one described above.
This was Monday. but I have to start from the beginning.
It doesn't start pretty.
I had a tummy bug and felt awful on Thursday. I actually skipped my class, because I woke up halfway through it from a nap, and then had to go to the ladies room to puke my guts out.
So I was an invalid that day. My mum and grandma came to pick me up Friday morning. I had a lovely car ride back. And even had the most wonderful nugget experience I've ever encountered. I was half sleeping in the back seat of my grandma's car, and they stopped at McD's for some food. I just got a small sprite and nuggets. But oh! were they yummy! I always had a soft spot for nuggets, I don't know why, I just love them to bits.
Anyways, so I was half asleep, and I would just get a nibble of one and then just lie there munching on it slowly and dreaming away. They lasted me hours! which I don't mind, because I took my time to enjoy them.
So. I got better.
Easter Sunday was nice, just to church and then had some cinni rolls and eggs for a nice breakfast. That's about it. Taran had work at Sea World so I just lazed about.
Monday was the morning of wonderfuls. Taran came in to wake me up and did the job, but of course I'm on break, it's going to take a stampede to get me out of bed before noon! So he left and came back about an hour later with some french toast and strawberry milk. So I browsed the web on my trusty compy as I enjoyed my brother made and delivered breakfast in bed. I suspect he wanted to butter me up for the torture he had planned for me that day. Which I'm fine with, because he also bought me lunch when we walked down the hill to the taco shop, and got some pop, and twizlers pull n' peel, and sour patch watermelons!!
He wanted me to watch High School Musical 3 with him. And I have to admit, it was better than the other 2. You can tell they had a multi-million dollar budget. That much money going into a teeny bopper super camp movie... aren't we having trouble with our economy?
Anyways. Tuesday I went to Sea World with Taran. It was fun, except for the high school band creep that hit on me. I didn't even realize what happened until later when I was telling it to Taran. People don't usually hit on me, so how am I supposed to know what it's like? Anyways, that was creepy. And he probably didn't even think that I could be 2 or more years older than him, which I probably was. It was odd walking around by myself. I don't drive yet, so I haven't really tasted the total independence thing yet. So being alone in Sea World with only my a park map to guide me was a bit unnerving. But I filmed Taran during his show!

Isn't he just precious!?
Wed, Thurs, Fri was... going to grandma's house to clean and help out as payment for her helping me with The Rescue, chillin' with Kyla and getting some of the best food known to man CARNE ASADA FRIES!! (soooooo gooooooooood!!!), going to every thrift store known to Chula Vista to find a bird cage for 3D (we didn't even fine one!), applying for jobs at various store locations, and going to opening night Friday night to see The Glass Menagerie!
It was really good.
Saturday we drove up to Grandma Peirson's and chilled until Sunday morning, when I was dropped off back here at school.
And that's my spring break in a nutshell.... but not literally.... I know what you're thinking Kenny!
So... (buttons)...that's about it. The Rescue is this Saturday! I got my shirts in the mail yesterday, so today I'm rockin' my "I heart the LRA" tee. :D
It's been nasty hot here, 100 yesterday! hope I don't melt!
OH!! today is April 21! my Unbirthday! only 1/2 a year to go until I'm 20!!! Hooray!
drink lots of water to stay well!

There's no place like home
I'm back home for my spring break!
And I didn't even have to click my heels :)
Here's how this last weekend went-
Thurs- got something like food poisoning. napped. missed 3D class because I woke up and had a trip to the ladies room that was not pleasant. lied in bed and wished for death the rest of the day (I was glad the roommie left for home early so I could wallow alone)
Fri- Mom and grandmother drove up to get me and suitcase. slept in the car. forced awake when we stopped at McD's and nibbled in an amazing dream-like state on mcnuggets until we reached a strawberry field. I do not remember the strawberry field, only that I heard a door open and I muttered "It's hot" to my mom as she got out. She then rolled down the windows for me (isn't that nice?). Felt better and worse the rest of the day. Got up and went to the "journey to the cross" thing at church. It was cool. and apparently there was a totally realistic fake wrapped body in a "tomb' that I completely did not notice.
Sat- sat on my lazy bum all day and got better :) watched Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. loved it!
Sun- Easter church! it was nice. good music. good message. ate cinni rolls! yum! had a million cups of tea because I never make it at school (no 1/2 and 1/2 there. sad). and watched various films on the tv.
I think tomorrow my brother has plans of torture for me. He got the High School Musical 3 DVD. joy. and I haven't seen the first, or the last bit of the second. So it's a marathon!
I'm pretty sure my Mom has hidden all the weapons by now so I wont be able to shoot myself.
I also have to write out a schedule because I have lots to do and lots to get done!
I. do. not. schedule.
Ask my flatmates. I'm completely disorganized! It's actually quite sad. I hope the poor fool who will want to marry me someday is a tidy person. I also hope he wont hate me because of my lack of said tidiness.
So the demands of a schedule put me in a tizzy. doesn't make it feel like a break at all. More like a week-long really nice boot camp.
And my tummy is still hurting bits.
Oh well.......
