Life in The Bush
Posted by Matt Carter
So after a long and rather stressful day as an expo at the Cheesecake Cafe, I found myself sitting on a couch in their lobby eating "those little cookies" and waiting for a Liz Siemens I had only ever talked to on the phone.
She was about 10 min late, but I forgave her.
Thus began a rather uneventful journey home. All the way to Medicine Hat compliments of her cousin. Then continuing on too Pambrun, rather quickly, whilst I enjoyed a deep sleep compliments of Liz's shoulder.
I was rather tired when I got home despite my nap, I had only gotten about an hours sleep the night before, on account of going out, getting rather sauced while playing pool, before going back to a friends house to play some Golf on his XBox. Having to work the next day meant I was forced to awake at 5:00, luckily, as I did not hear Kristin's Alarm, and would have dozed on until morning had she not woken me. I got up, after having some difficulty finding my shoes, I whereupon set out to find my way home. After some confusion as to exactly where in the world I actually was, I found my way without undue difficulty. I reached home, had enough time to doze for about a half hour, and then ran to work in record time, all the way praising myself for the sense to sober up with copious amounts of tap water. Needless to say, no hangover fairy did come grace my presence, and I felt well rested and refreshed. However the situation at Cheesecake is such that I have no difficulty in believeing Jesus himself would fly into a righteous flaming fury after only a few short weeks. However since I am not God, and am unaffected by the blatant mistreatment of those around me by a certain sadistic Bastard, I have lasted much longer.
Anyway, all that matters at this moment, is that I am not more than halfway done my holiday. Being home has been good, seeing my family, and how much they have grown, along with their hair (my brothers now all sport some serious shag). I finally saw The Chronicles of Narnia, and did moderately enjoy, however not to any great level of extremity. I finished reading Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A Heinlein. It was also chanced that I should come across both Gattaca, and Bladerunner dvd's, in the bargain bin at walmart, for a combined total of about 14$. So my DVD collection has grown slightly.
I'm afraid I have spent zero time fraternizing at the Bible College. It seems I don't feel comfortable at all even seeing people that I was previously aquainted, I'm too diferent now from them. I haven't sat mindlessly soaking up the repetitive biased doctrine this school has to offer, I'm afraid that my development as a free thinker, and an agnostic has seperated me a bit from my hyper-religious peers.
Anyway, It seems my brother Micah needs to use the phone so I must cut this muse short.
