new start to a new week. ha to the zah. chocolate is tasty, and flies are of satan’s demented hold on the world. i’ve never been so angered by something so little. why do leg hairs have to be so ticklish? why do flies have to live... so much. also, mosquitoes absolutely destroyed me while i slept the other night. i’m thinkin about investing in a mosquito net.. cuz fiji is gonna be the death of me apparently. i put some anti-itch stuff on last night an all it did was made the bites swell up and turn red. with my pasty white body, its easy to see where i was attacked while i slept. bahaha. and my lip was super swollen this morning from a fresh bite right on it.. it looked like i had gotten into a scrap with smurfs. i won of course, but they made me question sticking my head into a thicket of bamboo. (the smurfs in new zealand live in chutes of bamboo, and they are navy blue, not just blue. and they are very hateful. freaking smurfs...) no just kidding, but seriously. i hate bugs. h h h h h h HATE.

i smell of fireworks. *cough*

we started work duties and work program today.. mondays are work days. we have work duties everyday, and mondays we do special projects that need doing. like lawn mowing. i did a lot of it today, and i loved it. i miss the golf course.. and i hadn’t done it in so long. i was all buttered up in sunscreen so i wasn’t about to bake a cake in the kitchen (though truly that would have been a bumpin time.) but it felt good to actually work again and not feel lazy. excellent sigh. my weekly job is supper dishes, so joe showed me the pit and the rest of the duties and it shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes each day... so no worries! it’ll be a good time. mebe next week i will be blessed and get toilets. our speaker this week is dave cole. he’s a lot more energized than maynard was, (not to discredit maynards wisdom at ALL (he was amazing)) but hopefully it’ll be easy to stay awake this time around. its all about authority and submission... gonna be sweet! i thought up a really really cool graffiti idea for when i get back to calgary... AND it goes hand in hand with my road signs addiction, therefore i am excited to practice art in its highest form (in my opinion.)

also new to the agenda, an agenda! we have schedules now so we don’t always have to be waiting on someone to tell us whats up next. lots more time to discuss amongst ourselves where next to hitchhike and whatnot. cuz we are all gettin the itch for snackfood. before bed food. and in between meal food. though i’ve found myself really really enjoying the discipline of set meal times, and having patience. HOWEVAH! i need me my oatmeal an yogurt. monday nights we have small group as well, and its just our house. 9 guys, no secrets, lots of life fixing and bro bonding. tonight we got tighter through the art of roman candle fighting... and hedgehog kicking. nah it was just roman candle fights in the skatepark. and we saw a hedgehog. and i accidentally brushed the bottom of my foot against in on the way back cuz it had chosen to reside in the middle of the dark sidewalk. it looked far sadder than a hedgehog from a pet store... DTS goggles are funny.

g’nite, or g’day, or g’send me a letter.
