Long-Distance Dude

Hey Folks!!

It has been some time since I last updated my blog. The QUICK update is that me and my girl are doin well after some rocky moments in the beginning of the yr... we were able to work it out, and I find when two people go through their difficulties, things tend to improve afterwards!!

Today, I am hanging out with my good friend Leslie and we ate pizzas and will probably watch a movie later. She says she'll find me icons, too!

Just chilled after eating the good Edge / ten-topping pizzas from Pizza Hut... the crust was very good, and not all yucky like certain other pizza companies she could name. (beef, chicken, extra cheese, salami, hot peppers, mushrooms, black olives, Italian sausage, pineapples, and bacon) It was on me since I like hanging out with her and talking about stuff, so it's pretty good. I even opened the SkyFlakes crackers, and marveled at how she organized the contents into Ziploc bags. She says it's called not having to open the container again... whatever works!

We talked about Willingdon Church Saturday night services (which Nathan has been bringing me to), our church's Easter Sunday services (which I plan on attending), her Colorado friend Corey and his ex Rachael, Erik ("the guy who wants to become a girl"), hockey, books, and various websites. (No Pants Day, Things Shoved Up The Butt, FlubTitles, etc.) I still feel bad that I made her TV green for a while there!

Things Shoved Up The Butt reminds Leslie of the story Nathan was telling her and a bunch of others once at Calhoun's after Fellowship: Nathan's friend is a doctor in Princeton, BC.. basically, this guy came in one day complaining of difficulty urinating. The doctors fixed that, and he went home happy. But then he had difficulty doing a "3-1" and had to go back, stinking up the entire hospital in the process. The doctors couldn't find anything with an X-ray except a little black dot, so they used a camera probe to investigate further. Turns out it was a black Glad garbage bag with two Safeway bags in it, with a 12-inch foam thing inside those. Seems the guy's friends had a little TOO much fun when he was passed out drunk.. they decided to stick things really far up his ass. Thankfully, the problem was resolved when the stinky things were removed with tweezer-like instruments. Leslie says that everyone at the table was disgusted by the revolting story, but she reacted like Nathan and found it very funny.. poor guy, though! They apparently decided that they wouldn't do anything like that to Nathan.. they'd figure out less invasive ways of tormenting him. ;)

Corey also tore a phone book in half for Leslie / us on his webcam: I THINK THAT IS NUTS! If he tears me apart next, I think that is cool... but not in the good way, haha. I also think he wants to become a strongman... apparently, they're all old ones since he got new ones last week or something.

Oh crap. The hockey game is depressing me! Vancouver needs to win, and Calgary just scored two goals to tie the game 2-2... there goes the momentum and the stranglehold!
ciao for now!

Edit: Vancouver won the hockey game against the Flames 3-2 in overtime! It looked like it might be a shootout, but good ol' Ed Jovanovski (who just got off the injured list today) saved the day for us on a beauty! :D
