Same Same But Different
J-Sid,
I write you this from Montana Coffee Traders after a lonnnng break from our blog. I'm not sure what brought about this hiatus. Prob a combo of finals, friends, the Puppy, TA training, and of course....facebook. All i know is when i tried to log in to our account today I had forgotten how, and I didn't like it.
Well, last week I sat in the grass around a bonfire drunkenly singing along to pegs playing The Hip on her guitar. It is official, summer has begun. Being back in West has been a trip. It is exactly the like the old days except also not at all like the old days. It reminds me of a shifty little saying they use in Korea when they don't want to admit their product is slightly sub-par: "Same Same But Different." But I am content, and that's all that matters. Let me introduce you to this year's crew:
Blonde: is the new name lynn has decided to stick me with and it has caught on with the rooks. Im a pretty kick ass supervisor if i do say so myself. I think I've fostered a pretty enthusiastic, laid back, positive workplace atmosphere...lots of encouragement especially towards marketing projects haha. I was initially worried that I wouldnt be able to maintain the respect of my crew once they saw me up to my typical Linny antics. So i decided to skip the grief of it and shatter any illusions of respect from the get-go. So far it's worked out great.
Lynn: The Slightly Bitter One. lynn is same adorable old lynn but a lot sassier. I enjoy her wit immensely. She has also developed a romantic affair in the office with Bendy, the Calgary Stampede themed Horse.
Katie: the hyper_blond. Katie can be best described as an intellectual with an edge. We have already bonded over our shared penchant for biting. Oh yea, she also has a sweet tooth to rival Tuggy Nutshot's, yet im pretty sure she's a size 2. It's not like I've busted out the measuring tape or anything...yet. I'll prob save that till she falls asleep. HaHa.
Karla: The DarkHorse of the Crew. She is fresh out of Lister Res and on the surface level, a wanna-be american eagle type keener cutie-pie. But she is slowly revealing herself as a street-smart BC Wild Child.
Nate-Dawg: Comin' straight outta the NorthWest Mothafuckin' Territories. He is by far the best story teller of the crew, regaling us with tales of his Northern Party Times. He is a ridiculous upgrade from the days of the Bot. I predict he will be my frieda's wingman of the summer, never one to turn down another drink.
To get the summer kicked off we had a Mexican Themed Night. I guess it's a little ironic a bunch of Canadians living in the US decided to celebrate the Culture of Mexico but we all wanted an excuse to devote an entire night to Tequila Worship. Katie and I also invented a new salad we named the Monster Mexican Montana Mash....South Beach Friendly.
Yesterday I hiked Apgar Lookout with Nate. As soon as we got home I cracked a beer and threw a lawn chair in the pool. Yes that's right, I said Pool. We have named it the Blue Lagoon and it comes complete with Foghorn and Wave Pool Capabilities a la WEM. After 5 hours drinkin in the pool I stumbled into the living room to watch the newest addition to my movie collection, SHORT CIRCUIT!!! "Johnny 5....Is ALIVE!!!" It was a perfect, meaningless, forgettably-unforgettable day. One of those days that I know will blend into every other silly summer day to come. A day filled with ridiculous unimportant moments, stupid laughs, and inside jokes that will soon be lost in a mish-mash of moments from the summer. I used to try to obsessively document these times through my journal, our blog, quotes, and repeated inside jokes. I think I was just digging my fingernails as hard as I could into the memory because I was afraid I would lose the feeling if I let go, like I might have no proof I was actually part of something cooler than my boring school life. But I think I am starting to get that the moment is never as sweet re-lived, and I might be missing out on that new joke or new person because I am too busy remembering the one time that one person did this thing with that guy in the thing. So this is me letting go a little, gettin' ready for a new repertoire of summer memories to roll in...Much Like the Waves I Make In The Blue Lagoon. Bahaha.
Love You, B-londe

Sounds like the Good Times are killin' in the WG once again. That makes me so happy. A certain someone has been brainwashing me all winter with propoganda that the whimsy and wonder of Glacier is all but forgotten. I knew if anyone mouth to mouth it back to life it would be you. Nice Work Lindizzle! You have a pool? Alright, you sold me. I'll come visit now. Ha ha.
Peace
