Getting Lost Downtown while having Pizza

So I have gone to the training program for work. It was strange for today, we were put into groups. Our group is the most equal when it comes to gender: three girls, three guys. Everyone was talking and talking. We have these sign-in sheets and it took 30 to 45 minutes to sign in. Plus I'm taking BART to get there. Let me explain, I know how to take buses. Buses are easy, you know where you're going, all you have to do is look for landmarks. Subway is a big dark tunnel where you have to first guess what the person is saying on the speaker and then try to see a sign, horizontally at what 70 mph? So excuse me if I get lost. Then once I finally find the stop, then I find the stupid building. then afterwards, I have to do the reverse, than what I did, and I ended up today, a stop past Glen Park Station but yesterday I got home perfectly, so maybe being let out early was a good thing mentally. I don't know.

By the way, if one wants to go to Montgromery, it's after Powell and Glen Park is after 24th and Mission. Just in case, there is someone as Subway retarded as me out there...but hey at least I knew which direction to go in this time instead of asking two people. And I wouldn't have to ask anyone today if I could understand the guy on the fricking speaker, god that was annoying.

I am leaving for SC in 15 days. Which means, on the seventh, I'm going to be on a plane. So how am I going to magically going to get my paycheck on the eighth? I know ( I just said it): Magick! Yep, the best way to get anything. So I'm gonna have to work something out, perchance they'll mail it? I doubt it, but hey I can try, it never hurts to do so, does it? Well, it depends on the thing, like if you want to put rockets to the back of your car and you didn't do the measurements then it would hurt to try, but this isn't as brutal. I had pizza downtown. It was about fourish.

Yesterday and 17 days: fear and joy

Yesterday, I went to the movies with L. I saw Toy Story 3 and the Karate Kid, it was fun seeing the Karate Kid but I still could've seen it on the small screen without problem. But I'm weird that way. It was fun, especially with all the side track comments L and I made. But I know this fun will be short lived since I will have to start the count down until Myrtle Beach, SC: A most ominous feeling about this strange place which unfortunately, the news continue to proclaim the worst things about along with comedians bashing it (the state) for being quite stupid. I'm sure this is just the extremists and the government and there are very nice people there who are quite open to tie-dye...although I somehow imagine many people, like in Arizona, looking at us strangely, but it had to be because of the tie-dye and not the color of my skin or my mom's skin (which is darker than mine) or the fact that a white man married a black woman, it is still AMERICA for crying out loud, right? I mean right?

Days Until I die in S.C. (I'm not actually going to die....but then ya never know) : Counting today and counting the day we leave as zero, I'll say 17.

Days in Sebastopol

Yesterday was odd, I went to the CYO camp for the All-Church retreat of my church and it was fun but yesterday we had to say our goodbyes until next year. I had finished my French poster and just needed pictures for it. The car was packed and we drove to Wildflour Bakery where we got a bread called Green Goat (it was delicious), when we stepped out, the was a ring around the sun; it was a rainbow. If only I could taken a picture of it, but then I think the magic of it would fade away. Then afterwards we went to Sebastopol for ice cream in a place called Screamin' Mimi's. I got praline pecan and butterscotch with melted caramel in waffle bowl. Then we had to search for egrets since my mother was doing a gourd with egrets on it. I swear being a daughter to an artist is sometimes frustrating because when everyone else is going home, we are looking for birds. We also saw what looked like to be golden eagles...I wondered when the end of greenness would end. There was so much green! I love green but there was so much of it!

To ponder: Why don't people see green as beautiful before they try to destroy it?
