my parents smoke pot?

On Wednesday, I got a few beers with a kid named Ollie Hicks (and some other UoD people). He's 26, and he was the youngest kid ever to row across the atlantic ocean (and did i mention heeee's BRITISH!?). This october (well, really two years from this october, since that's how long it will take) he's planning to be the first man to ever MAKE IT, rowing around the world. It's kind of cool drinking with a guy like that. Toasting a tequila shot to his victory, and knowing in two years when he makes it I will be calling ALL of you and saying I drank with him haha.

Sooo Thursday rolled around and I juuuuust wasn't feeling up to work :) "sick day!" :) :)
Instead I slept in, ventured in to the city to meet my roomie for lunch at a really cute Mediterranean Cuisine place (mmmmmmm) and then waited for her to finish up her last hour of work in the quiet peace of a starbucks armchair with my book. It was so nice.
Then when she got done, we ventured into the MAZE of a world that is the gothic quarter, and eventually found the Picasso Museum. THAT...was amazing my friends. I had no idea. I mean I had some idea, but it was none of the normal faces with noses on the forehead type stuff. It was about the periods in his life and what impacted him. They had two different rooms that would show a small image of a very classical looking painting and 5 huge replicas that Picasso had created, all of which didn't really look like the original except for key ingredients. All of which were created with such different style and imagery. It amazes me that one mind can carry that much creativity.

Last night I passed up going to a shots bar (which I plan to go to later, over 200 different kinds of shots! sweet!....too bad I can only handle two of them aaahahaha) to stay in and plan a travel weekend with my roomie. We booked tickets to Dublin!!! (so exciting!) And then I got a phone call from my credit card company about 5 minutes later lol. Unfortunately there actually was a charge (for zero dollars) on there that I didn't recognize so I went through the process and answered all their questions and my card was promptly shut off. Awesome. I had to call and make sure the tickets were still ok, which they said was fine.
This morning I got on my e-mail and I had (besides a THOUSAND e-mails form BofA and thank you's from the airline) an e-mail from a company that looked like it would have the same initials as the transaction that got flagged yesterday. huh oh. I look it was like "thank you for choosing to get flight insurance with us!"
FIRST of all - I know I unchecked that box like seventy two times.
SECOND - damn, I'm glad I cancelled that transaction. try to trick me. I just hope my flight still goes through ok. But seeing as they are separate companies, i don't think it'll be a problem. *crosses fingers*

Oh....so you were wondering about the title of my entry? hehe.

I had a dream last night that I was going home (idk, maybe booking flights triggered that...). I got home and I had forgotten the bottle of wine that i bought my parents *sooooooo pissed!!* and then I went downstairs to tell them and my dad was rolling a big FAT thing of pot (don't laugh at me because I don't know the names, maybe YOU shouldn't know the names! eh!? eh?!). I was like MOM WTF. She's like "well you had to find out sometime.......your parents are pot heads"......for all of you who know my parents, I was all "WHAAAAT?!!". So I was like "when, how much do you smoke?! Are you kidding me?!?!" My mom was like "oh not that much, just like 7 or 8 joints with dinner (hey I remembered the word...).
And then the dream faded out with me watching my dad try to light this joint that was like the size of a quarter around in my family room.

sooooooooooo strange.


idk, maybe it was the fact that my parents went to Hawaii and FORGOT THEY HAD ANOTHER DAUGHTER. Guess my subconscious thought they had gone nuts. :) Must be on pot or something to forget about me hahaha.

You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

--Eleanor Roosevelt

This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.
