I'm sorry you didn't get the job Helen! But you'll get one soon.

Tim Horton? There is a hockey team at the rink I used to play at and they had these jerseys that said Tim Horton on them. Do you know if it's the same thing? (It's pathetic. Almost my whole life connects to hockey.)

Money is a good thing in general.

yes greenery i think it is the same thing. was this team sponsored by Tim Hortons, is that why the name was on thier jerseys? there are little kid hockey teams also, and they are called TIMBITS. a timbit is the Tim Hortons/Canadian word used to describe the little tiny ball doughnut things...like if you took the dough that was taken to make the hole in the doughnut and then turned it into a doughnut of its own....i dont really know how describe it because in canada there is really no other word for it except 'timbit'.
ill see if i can find a picture...phew!

Boston. It's a Dunkin' Donuts thing. Krispy Kreme's went bankrupt around here. Just couldn't compete with the New Englander's fixation with Dunks coffee.

I think I'm one of the few Americans who isn't a Krispy Kreme fan. Their donuts make me feel like my arteries are clogging up as I eat. What's really gross is that they introduced some new donut-flavored drink. It's basically their donuts, in liquid form.

Scary stuff warning! (Seriously, don't look if you're easily freaked out.)

According to comcast.net, Al Qaida members were planning on blowing up at least 10 airplanes on trans-atlantic flights. The attack was, of course, thwarted, and police now suspect that today was simply a "dry run." All liquids excluding baby formula and medicine are being confiscated from passengers, as terrorists are using liquids to make bombs. Over 20 people have been arrested.

And now, nobody's allowed to bring liquids on planes. That's crazy. It's a precaution, and I suppose it's somewhat necessary, but thousands of people fly daily, and now they can't even have a water bottle on the plane with them.

Anyway, my mom thinks that enough people will complain about not even being able to bring water on the plane that perhaps they'll have to make some arrangements to hand out small bottles of water or something as people are boarding. Especially for long flights. I get incredibly dehydrated when I fly, so for me, if I don't keep water in me, my hands and feet swell to almost painful degrees. I also get bad pressure headaches, and water always seems to help that. However, sometimes on my shorter flights to NJ they won't even pull out the beverage cart because there'd be no point. So I'll be one of those people that will have something to say about it. Ugh. It's just such an inconvenience.

So I dreamed that I was in a play. And the play was "Wicked" though it doesn't follow the plot exactly. I was Elphaba. And I only remember the last bit. There was this big parade-like thing, and I was waiting on some stairs for someone in a big carriage. I leaned forward eagerly, and the door opened and this blond woman opens the door and I immediate know that it's Glinda. I run forward and shriek "Glinda!" and give her a big hug, lifting her off of the ground. And we're so happy to see each other. So we walk around, but all along I'm conscious of the fact that it's a play, and I'm on the stage. Now it really strays from the Wicked plot. I know that I'm supposed to die soon, but I don't melt. Instead, Glinda and I are walking and I'm supposed to get hit by a car. But Glinda gets all confused and walks in front of the car so that she dies, not me. But I know that the show must go on, so I throw myself in front of the car so that the play is finished and I die too. And in the play I loved Glinda so much, I would die for her. I felt that. And she looked...familiar. *cue creepy music* But it was a play .

Yeah. I just thought I'd share. I woke up and was like, huh? And then this morning I read Wicked the book and I read the part where Glinda and Elphie split and it goes:

"But Glinda turned and cried out, 'Oh Elphie!' The witch didn't turn. They never saw each other again." That part makes me want to cry.

Well, they give you drinks on flights. Or at least on every single plane I've ever been on in my life, (a lot) they give you drinks. Just don't support the cheap airlines that make you pay for snacks and drinks. Cheapo's.

ANYHOO.

I met a Turkish kid at camp. So his parents are divorced. His father is Muslim, his mother is Lutheran. So he goes to a Unitarian Church. All he needs to do is a marry a Jew, and I think he'll have one of them most multicultered family I've seen in quite a long while:

and he's awesome. and short. hah.

ANYWAY. oh. and another thing: My counsler was from AUSTALIA! She's staying at camp till Septmeber 1st, then bumming around Chicago for week, going to NY, then L.A., Washington D.C. and Las Vegas. I begged her to see a show while in New York.

And she had no idea who the Trix Rabbit was.
