Well today was our first performance of "the summer". It ws for a dance recital X-Company was putting on for a lil town called Lac du Bonne. Chantelle taught out there, so we performed at it, like we did in Morris this past winter! It was really fun, and the kids where SO cute. I however, did not dance. I was photographer with Danielle and Danielle.... no joke my cousin and another dirl from the team. We had lots of fun. After we were done we went for lunch, I ended up at a table of four: Shaun, Jeremy, Jake, and ME! It was so much fun! the three of them got chicken and fries, so I decided to get something different, POUTINE! YUMMALISHIOUS! lol I love poutine. I would be SO fat right now if they served it at BBC! Woot! Anyways, so right after lunch Jer, Shaun, Terry and I ran over to the playground across the street. I rolled down the hill and Shaun thought I was Jeremy. Then we went on the MARRY-GO-ROUND!!!! REMEMBER HOW MUCH I LOVE THOSE!!!!???? At school we had one and I always went there when I needed to get away. I had so much jun taking and singing "3 short necked buzzards"! REMEMBER DEZ!? lol anyways, on the way home we sang backstreet boys...another woot! lol and also some old school...Elle Finzgerald, Frank Sanotra, ect. Then I droped off Erin and the rest of us went to dance practice. Shaun, Dallas and I worked on Shaun/Dallas staff fight. It's now Shaun and I preforming it. MY FIRST PERFORMANCE!!! See usually I just do the Hawiian and then nothing, but now I have an important dance, its part of a series, and it's called Fortress. So exciting! Well anyways after dance we prayed and I started getting tired, shaun sed I was sleeping, but I couldnt have been cuz I heard the praying.... Anyways, after that was over, I drove shaun home then came home myself and ate supper. My nabores came over while I was eating and we watched Murder By Numbers. I LOVE SAndra Bullock! And Shaun from Breaker High....Anyways, Now Im down stairs checking mail and writing in my blog! But I am done alas, if you wanna comment and the comment thingy isnt working, email me. I like those too! chocolatepie_jjl@hotmail.com.

Shout Out to Craig!
Hey all! So yestadrday and today I got a chance to chat a while with Craig. For those of you who dont know him, he's a friend from BBC. However, he's nolong at BBC and niether am I. hum... Well anyways. We got to reminis about the "good ol'days" and boy was that great. He informed me that if we (Dez and I) had asked, he would have played football with us. I can't think of why he was never asked, I thought we had, Dez? I don't have the best memory...WIERD Coldplay just came on. No thats not wierd, but Joni and I used to listen to this on nice days like today....*sighs heavily* Man do I miss that. Joni in the sleeping bag, Dez in the shade, the rest of us sitting in the sun "studying"... Going for walks before supper and walking through HUGE puddles in flip flops and sarongs.... stepping in squishy mud with Nat.... finding licience plate key chains with "Laura" written on them.... Man do I want to be back there. I recall a screen name " am I going home or leaving home" I definately felt like that was my home, however all who are about to try and get me back, it wasnt.... It couldnt have been, or I'd still be there. I will find my "home" though, working on it. But I guess I have to find myseelf first. BBC helped on my journey to find "me", but it's not complete, and I have to finish somewhere else. I hope the dance team is my next stop... but right now Im not sure. How do I manage this!? This is suposed to be Craigs Shout Out, not my journey..... Here's a question for the 11 O'clock Walk Society: Who's arm did Dez/ Joni and I grab on a walk on "the road"? I thought it was Craig, but it could have been Nat or John... not sure. Now I'm not even sure if it was Dez... arg! curse you horrible memory! Anyways, Craig is great! Sure he's having some hard times, as we all do, but even in that, he's still having a ball, and as funny as ever! WOOT WOOT! for The Craig. Go Keanu! ;) hehe

Lookin Up!
Well anyone who is actually reading my blog, knows that recently I've been having dance issues. Whether its people leaving or practise being a farce. Well today I think my point was finally seen and we started working on a piece while the Lac du Bonne "team" cleaned up there piece. It still is kind of upsetting that we don't get to hear the corrections, because they will eventually have to clean up us as well. Anyways we worked on a old new peice. It's a stick/staff piece, which we havent done in a while. I miss the hard stuff! Thats what I wanted to do from the beginning. So we did it! Dana and I are partners and we rocked the hizouse! So Im not fully back to my old self yet considering there are people still contemplating leaving, but I actually got a practise so woot! I think I will be ok, but please keep me in your prayers.

Dana
So todays blog will be about my amazing friend Dana! I met her last year (summer), when she joinded the dance team. Last night we decided to have a lil talk about "things". It was very much a Jordan talk. Which I haven't had in a while. (Since I was attending BBC) What brought on our chat was the fact that I am becoming overly frustrated with the team stuff, and my struggles to find who I am. But back to Dana. So we talked for about an hour, and would have gone longer if it weren't for the fact that it was midnight, and we both had things to do in the morning. Dana is my amazing friend Dana, because the simple fact she doesn't judge me and hate me for who i am or what I was. She has so much to give and doesn't even realize it! If it weren't for her encouragement, I don't think Erin and I would be as close as we finally are! We still have a ways to go however. The other day Dana gave me a scare. She told us that she might be leaving the team because she went to an elder, and he told her she's to become a healer. As in "physically removing sickness". Dana is very into her culture, which I think is great. Im just scared that we'll loose her from the team, because the studying of the healing might take up her time. For me it would be a great lose to loose her from the team. Very few people can make the frustration go away with a smile or lil joke! Thank you Dana for being you!

Life Stuff
Glad you were in my dash

I read of a man who stood to speak at a funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning to the end. He noted the first came her date of birth and then spoke the following date with tears. But what he said mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represented, all the time she spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved her would know what that little line is worth. For it matters not how much we own…the cars, the house, the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard. Are there things you like to change? For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider whats true and real. Cause then we’d begin to understand the way other people feel. Be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile. Remembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So when your eulogy is being read with your lifes actions’ to rehash. Would you be proud of the things they say and how you spent your dash.
isnt it good? It made me think, am I doing everything I should be doing. Or could be doing. Am I living life to its fullest? I dont think so, but Im gonna try!

Another Year Over, a new ones just begun!
Hello friends! Well my title just popped into my head, but I cant for the life of me figure out what song its from... however I CAN think of the tune for the line...wierd! Well April first has come and gone, and I turned 20. People are telling me I have to start acting like my age and crap like that, Im just thinking, then Im gonna start aging physically aswell as mentally. Not my cup o' tea. For my birthday from my lovely friend Shaun, I got a slinky! Isn't that great! He wrapped it himself. His mom tried to help, but he wouldnt have it. And he did a great job! On the four is when I actually did the celebrating. We did a horseback ride, and then a fondu. YUMMERS! But thats not the best part. See the thing is you have to book the horses early, and if anyone doesnt show up, you have to pay 5$... Well at first 3 people didnt show. I new that one was really trying to get there, but no clue about the other two. Shaun was the one I knew, and he did get there, just in time I might add, so we got 5 of the 15$ we paid... Then since the other two didnt come, Jan and Darryl came. ( Family friends from chruch) There duaghter works there so they were hanging out and decided to take the 2 spots! so we got back the full 15$!!! Isn't that awesome! A lil friend of mine came aswell. Julia, shes one of my fellow youth sponcers kids. I love her to bits! She laughs at everything, like me! It was great times! I wish all my YQOTR friends could have come aswell, but alas, they are all the way in Caronport Sk. I miss you all. And Becky wants me to marry Brandon, what a nut! The both of them! lol well ttyl!
