Old and news...home in the Yukon at last

Wow, I wrote this so long ago...I like it though, so meh!

Today, waiting for the bus I saw a drunk girl come strutting across the parking lot screaming at a group of equally loud "GANGSTA" boys...and I thought to myself "self, I hope I never get that desperate". Later on the bus I saw a woman. She grimaced when I asked if the seat next to her was taken, but she did move her backpack(inner monologue by Jill..."dude, cant you see my backpack is there....dude, cant you see im wearing a garbage bag!"). She was all in black...long garbage bag looking trench coat....black pants....black scrunchy. Her hair was combed back perfectly and she was wearing dark red lipstick. After grudgingly giving me the seat assigned to her backpack she immediately buried her nose in her harlequin romance novel...and I thought to myself..."self, I hope I never get that desperate!" I have decided I am very judgmental.

trip with niki was ... AWESOME!!!! so many awesome random adventures. It started off with a dead body on the side of the road (yes, a dead body! don’t question me!!!!) then the toaster and finally the homeless Santa driving backwards down the street...????
Nikis friends were so cool and hospitable and i had a blast. undersea gardens (I survived!!! victory!) shopping good food and some pretty cool conversations...also open mic night at belles.....oh baby!(am I right niki, am I right?)

anyway folks...im home and safe in the Yukon after a crazy adventure through the wilderness. I am so sorry to have missed nikis party...im sure you had a blast! I had a very good day in Vancouver on the 15th with my best friend Rae..(yes I have two best friends) we went and viewed the dead bodies again and we chatted like old times...ive missed her! The next day was INSANITY!!!!!! crazy wind storm wiped Vancouver out. we had to drive Rae to the airport.....it was so intense...lights were out everywhere and only one bridge was in commission. we had to go the long way and it was long and slow...then we saw a white car fling itself upon a large van tossing it in the air. Good thing both parties were relatively "okay". by this time Rae had 20 mins to catch her plane, but we did make it just in time. it took us all day to get to the airport and back! literally...(though we did some little things on the way back) seriously 30mins to go one block...made me think what would happen if something serious had happened. we rely so heavily on the infrastructure, we cant live without it.

anyway, that was followed by three days of steady driving through snow storms and the like...but finally I made it home to my family, my little dog, my warm bed and all the goodness the Yukon has to offer....I love the silence most...so peaceful!
went and picked up my brother today and I spent the day with both my brothers just chatting and being pestered by robin (I think he’s making up for lost time!)


Its crazy how much I miss you all...ive been listening to jillys cd and its making me nostalgic. I hope you are all having fun....but not too much fun without me!
