Scream 4!

Yes, I am one of those freaks of the world who enjoys scary movies. (Even if I can't sleep for a solid week after I watch a good one...) And since I'm one of those freaks I thought I'd tell everyone about SCREAM 4!! Woooo!! The Scream fanatics of the world would have already known this movie was coming out a good year ago.....well same here. I knew about it but it's just getting so close to the opening day! I'm getting pumped up! It comes out April 15th for Canada. Sorry Americans, you'll have to google that one.
Here's the link to the trailer for Scream 4!

A Big Catch Up Post

So it's been awhile since I last wrote (or typed depending on how you look at it...) and so much has happened worth writing (typing haha) about!
First of all I got my license!! Apparently I "just squeaked by" according to my driver tester or whatever you want to call him. In fact I believe he used to be one of those old gangsters that had one of those gangster accents but that might be just me. Anyways I got it and thats all that matters!!! Now the only thing left is getting a car! haha. That'll be the day....
Also, I went to Mexico in February for a week to go build a school down there. That was the most amazing experience I have ever had. Seriously. We traveled down there on a bus all the way from Saskatchewan, Canada to the Baja area in Mexico. Needless to say, it was an extremely long trip. We slept on the floors of the bus. Most people thought that was the best place to sleep.....I highly disagree. The one time I slept down there I was claustrophobic.
When we got to Mexico we went to this place called La Bufadora near Ensanada. It's an outdoor market where people barter for their items. I was the WORST at that. Eventually though I figured it out and I got a bracelet down to two dollars. I was very proud of myself :)
When we started building the school there were so many kids who wanted to play with us! I loved it! You had no idea what they were telling you but it was so great to see all their smiling faces. I made this one little friend named Pedro. He would run up to me and then I would make a crazy face and he'd run away laughing. It was so cute. Then I would do an action like waving my arms and he would copy me. I loved little Pedro. He was like a little ray of sunshine :)
We finished the school in 3 days which is crazy! It was a two classroom school. I swear I have never painted so much in my life! Every piece that went on that school had to be painted....twice. It was crazy. Anyways, in the end I had such a contented feeling about it all. It was so worth it.
After Mexico, we had a fun day in Disneyland on our way home!! I got to hug Pluto! That was defineately one of the happiest moments of my life! haha. I went on California Screamin too. Just so everyone knows, that's the biggest rollercoaster in Disneyland. It was amazing! I had such a good trip it's unbelievable. There are so many stories I could tell but this is all I'll leave you with for now :)
Oh! One more thing! I got a small job at our church. I'm what I would like to call a cleanliness technician or a custodian in other words....but hey! It gets me $100 each month....so it's something.

Happy 2011!

It's a new year!! It's a time for resolutions, party hats and appetizer-ish food.
My New Year's Eve was pretty eventful if I must say so myself....
There was a LOT of food. It was almost scary how much food I ate. First there was appetizers and I probably ate about 5 of these little hamburger pocket things. They were so good....you just can't stop eating them. Then at 12:00am they decided to have a midnight lunch! There was roast beef and ham and potato salad and oreo salad and all sorts of things that made my stomach pretty much explode. And if all that wasn't enough, at 1:00am they decided to bring out cake! Well that was pretty much all I could handle. Is it even possible for a person to explode? I was almost believing it that night.
Also, New Year's Eve was the first time I had alcohol. All the adults there were set on "christening" me. So they forced upon me a jello shooter. (They actually taste pretty good!) At first I was completely clueless on how to eat them. I mushed it all up, thinking it would be easier. That didn't work. The second time I had one was much easier. I also had a fruity drink. Small version though and that's when my mother cut me off.
I ended up having a pretty good New Year's! I wish everyone the best in 2011!!
