Holy crap! I missed a bunch. I added another option to the poll. I forgot there were some younglings around here. You people are just too darn mature!
Shaving? Gosh, I can’t even remember when I started. It’s been quite a long time, though. I have to shave almost every 2 days, if not sooner. I shaved this morning and now I’m already horribly stubbly. Blah. I found around the ankles is the hardest, after that is the knees. Stupid, stupid legs.
My mom is shrinking. She used to be 5'5'' I believe, now she's my height, 5'3''. Poor mother.
I was looking over my calendar and I realised I’m going to be on my period during History Maker, a Youth Convention in Kamloops I’m going to in late May. Blah, just what I need, a 2-hour ferry ride and 6-hour car ride worrying about stains. That means more crap to pack. Joy. Oh well, I’ll deal with it when the time comes.
Whew. I have had the most eventful few days! And by eventful I mean lots of Josh moments, haha! Oh gosh, I’m such a loser. If you’re annoyed by my obsessing, you can just ignore this entire post, because I blab A LOT
On Saturday we had a Farewell party for our Youth Pastor at our church and I wasn’t feeling well because McDonalds, KD, and pie don’t mix. But I was lying on the couch and shivering like crazy and Josh gave me his sweatshirt and sat with me until I felt better (which was pretty fast since I was going all hanyaan, hehe). Such a sweetie
.
On Sunday, after church, about seven of us kids had to go to Piers Island to help a lady clear out a neighbour’s backyard (Part of our Rent-A-Teen fundraiser to make money for the Youth Convention). On the boat ride there Josh let me hold on to him to keep me from falling out of the boat, haha. Not that I would have, I was just nervous about being on the end.
We had to walk a pretty long trail to get to the house, about a half an hour walk, and Josh and I talked the whole way there. Random stuff you wouldn’t be interested in, haha! The house was pretty cool, on the outside mostly. There was a huge tire swing, and random jungle gym stuff that any immature 16-year-old, like myself, would go crazy over.
After we got served lunch (this lady was like my grandma the way she feeds people. There was one course after another, and another, and another. I’m still stuffed.) We went straight to work. We had to lug a whole bunch of firewood up a very steep hill while some of the guys had to split more wood. When I would take on a pile of wood that was way too large for me (although I wouldn’t admit it), Josh would grab some off the top of my pile and help me uphill, as he’d crack a lame joke about the “damsel in distress.” If he weren’t so cute, I would have kicked him in the shins.
Wow, I feel like a novelist right now. Oh well, I’m in a writing mood (if only I felt this way about the stories I’m writing right now, haha.).
Anyways, as we were walking back to the house, we had to walk up ANOTHER hill and I sighed in annoyance and mumbled something about a walking stick being useful at the time. All of a sudden Josh runs off into the bush and comes out with a huge walking stick! I’m thinking, “Okay, it’s official. This guy is my hero!” and gladly accept the stick, haha.
Blah-blah-blah, more food, more work, more flirting, ya-da-ya-da, he gave me a ride home, blah-blah. Nothing significant there
What? I had to shorten this post a tad. I’m far from finished
On Monday, we had to go back to Piers Island at 10 because our work was far from done. We had to wait half an hour to leave on the boat because Josh’s greatest talent is being late.
Again, we get there and there is a huge breakfast waiting for us, and I scold Josh for wearing his hat at the table, only because he did the same to Matt the day before. Silly boy.
Well, there was a lot more work waiting for us than yesterday. We now had to bring about 4 years worth of sticks and grime down hill and down onto the beach for a bonfire. Man, that was disgusting. And being silly, I forgot to bring an elastic for my hair and I was wearing these grimy gloves and I couldn’t brush my hair back.
So of course, Josh has to brush my hair out of my face when I passed by him. My face has never been so red. And of course it caused me to loose my footing and slip on some branches and fall flat on my back. Smooth Jen. Real smooth. He asked if I was okay and I said I was so he starts to laugh at me. Thank-you, Joshua. He finally did help me up after he caught his breath.
I think this kid tortures me on purpose, don’t you think?
Well, after about 4 or 5 hours, we finally finished our part of the job and we got to go sit by the bonfire on the beach. If I can get the pictures from my friend, Adolina, you can see me leaning on Joshua, hehe.
At the other end of the beach, there was a swing that leans over the water and everyone went down to go screw around with that, haha! And after much convincing from Josh and Werner I finally got on (although I needed help jumping onto it because I’m so freaking short!) and almost fell into the water, haha!
And of course, Josh has to make it his reason for living to make sure I fall face first into the water. In fact, while I wasn’t paying attention, he runs up and hugs me from behind and lifts me off the ground. And of course, I’m in too much of the girly blushing mode to realise he’s trying to push me in the water. I finally realise and start screaming at the top of my lungs and push him off, haha!
Finally around 5pm, I finally say, "Okay, Josh, you've got to go in the water!" And of course he refuses. I was like, “Come on! I’ll go in if you go in!”
He laughs and says, “Oh please! You’ll chicken out at the last second!” So I say, “Hey! If that happens you can DRAG me in!”
So yes, we both run into the water, which is FREEZING by the way, haha! And of course, right when we come out of the water, everyone decides, “Let’s go on the boat and go home now!”
So I huddled up to Josh to keep warm on the boat, haha! So cold! [shiver]
And like every Wednesday (nothing happened on Tuesday), I went over to his place with some friends and hung out til about 10. Nothing special, just the random flirting.
That has to be one of the longest posts in my posting history. Bravo for me.
Sorry for boring you, but I was WAY too giddy about that whole thing! I must annoy you all with my Joshua-spazes.
Oki doki, I’m done! That took me WAY too long to write. It’s 3am now!
[yawn] You may all now throw rotten fruit at me now
