You know you live in the sticks when an election candidate rigs up a contraption to float their signs in the lake ;).
It was actually kinda cool.

Wait a Second!
Well, I got another call from the Beach Office. And they asked me if I wanted to be the Beach Captain at Kinsmen. And I said, "Are you stupid, no!" Just kidding on that last sentence. I'm such a kidder. I said yes :). Yeah, I don't know how that one happened, but I won't ask any questions. The coordinator said something about the old beach captain at Kinsmen not coming back and me being next in line. Good enough! The pay is still the same, but next year my pay would max out as a lifeguard (and stop raising 50 cents/summer) but as a beach captain it would keep rising. So yes, this is a strateigic move ;). I am going to be a Beach Captain this summer!
In other news, I finally went over and said hi to my new neighbours that I knew when I was little. I was best friends with one of the girls when we were in elementary and both lived on the same street in Bedford-the exact same number of houses apart, actually. It was nice, we chatted for a bit. It's cool to see someone you haven't in a looong time (over 10 years)! If you ever want to get to know your neighbours better just bring your dog (or a dog, any dog will do really) for a walk and "bump" into them ;).

Bungee Jumping
is now romantic to me. It's funny what chick flicks will do to you. Shiloh thinks it's romantic too. I won't mention the name of the movie, but it was on YTV :P. Nonetheless, I am in a gushy mood. Swoon*

Notables
1. "You know you are a true Canadian when you go swimming in May!" Mr. Louis said this to me and Josh on Saturday afternoon when we went in the lake. It wasn't as cold as the ocean in summer time! I'm not saying that everyone who wouldn't swim in the lake right now isn't fully Canadian...I just thought it was funny that he said that :).
2. Can someone explain to me again how a Broadway flop can bring in more money than a hit?? (The Producers)
3. Women doing something that is usually a "man's job" is very exhilarating. The estrogen in the air was very empowering after I helped Sarah and her mom build a deck set.
4. Having to yell in a friend's ear when they are sitting right next to you because the good ol' Maritime music is so loud is a knee-slapping good time. Being able to sing along as loud as you want without anyone else hearing you is also fun.
5. If I am ever dating someone who I can't be silly with and do actions to kid's songs in church around, please someone hit me until I start singing and dancing to "Father Abraham". Something about watching how couples act together in church interests me a great deal.
6. When you throw a frisbee with another girl (like Amarea on a sunny Sunday afternoon), there is like zero pressure because you don't feel like she has to catch it each time or that you have to throw it well each time. Tossing something around became both appealing and fun to me today :)! It was gorgeous in Point Pleasant today, and I feel tanner ;).

Summer. Lifeguarding. Kinsmen Beach. 9 $/hr.
You may have noticed that I didn't say "Beach Captaining". I was disappointed when they first called, but I bounced back remarkably quick and I don't mind being a lifeguard again. However, this will all change if my Beach Captain isn't a more experienced PR person/beach lifeguard than me. Then every time I look at him or her I will think of how I should be them and they should be me :). I am already brainstorming some ideas to make it a fun summer at the beach. All I've got so far is keeping a "cute day camp counsellor" count, keeping a duck count (because we see more almost everyday...I think that there is some unnatural reproduction happening, or cloning or something), and making bets on when the beach will close. At another beach I worked at as a replacement, they recorded a "cute dad" count and a "he'll be hot when he is older" count. Any more suggestions are welcome. Yes, that is my job. It is outside, and plus, I know the area and the families that are regulars. This summer will be good.

Fri-at-un-on-day
Friday
If we didn't have lifeguards at the pool WHO would tighten kids goggles and re-tie the neck of pre-pubescent girls bikinis? It would be pure chaos.
Saturday
The sounds of an all-female (me, Sarah, and Morgan) cook-out as the BBQ is started up: "click, click, click, fhoooommmm, aaaaahhhhhhh!!, hahaha". Special mention goes to Sarah who took her life into her hands to manually light the left burner (we only used the left burner). After lots of barbeque sauce and many forks later, the meal tasted like it was from a restaurant and I'm not just saying that because I helped make it. After a quick visit at Shaun's deck party, I realized that the best name for the game "janitor"/"bum"/"clown" is definitely "dirt lump". We finished our girl bonding time by getting some dessert downtown. I love chocolate cheesecake and conversation.
Sunday
Church started 3 minutes late, so that meant that we were on time. Mr. L watered my potted plants, well my soil, cause I didn't that day (it was still damp from the day before). I almost wondered for a moment if I could get away with not watering anything and having him take care of my pots all summer. I began my first Veronica Mars experience with Megha.
Monday
My first Veronica Mars experience ended. Overall, it was a pretty good show. I wish I was Veronica just so I could have Wallace as my best friend, he's such a cutie. My cherry tomatoes are planted and the squash is still MIA. Josh and I tested out his new Gamecube game, and I beat him in the 2 player battle. I like playing him when it's a new game cause when he gets good at a game, I never have a chance. I am thinking of calling HRM Beaches and reminding them of my phone number.

Just Say So
I have just enjoyed the experience of speaking up for something that I really believe in.
Sometimes when people make jokes about my Christian faith or about Jesus when they know that I am a Christian, I just laugh it off or try to think of something snappy to prove that I am not some uptight, boring, and conservative religious girl. Sometimes my response is just me smiling and shrugging my shoulders and not saying anything. However, as of late, I have come to the point where I have had enough. So I said so. And the person understood for the first time that things like that are offensive to me, and apologized. I know he meant it when he said that he wouldn't say anything like that again. In my head, I thought, "Hello! How could you not know that saying things like that are TOTALLY inappropriate when you know that I am a Christian!!" I still think that, but I also realized that if you don't act like it bothers you, then some people just don't know that it bothers you. Obviously there is difference between people who just don't like the idea of God so it comes out in some conversation and someone who makes it personal by cracking jokes about you...but if someone makes comments directed at me just because they know that's what I believe and they are looking for a reaction, I am going to ask them to stop. Maybe this is a given for most people, but it wasn't for me. Now it is.

SUNday
Today is Mother's Day. I would wish my mom a Happy Mother's Day on here, however, I don't even think she knows that I have a blog...I think I'll mention it to her sometime soon. At church we all got little boutonnieres to commemorate our mothers. The older lady who pinned mine was very sweet. The pinning was quite a process, as there is a method for pinning a flower, but I now feel like I could pin one on someone without making a hole in them or the flower. Next year I'm going to ask if they can make mine into a corsage ;). Josh and I made a lovely and delicious lunch (complete with a homemade card) for mom and we ate on the back deck. Then we got some ice cream. I support places that give you too much ice cream to eat in one sitting when you order a small. Let it be known: Averys is where it's at.
I dared Josh to go swimming today, but he chickened out, so we played water balloon catch instead. You know, the game where you start close together, but each time someone catches the ball, you take a step back? That one. So I threw this one balloon up really high and Josh looked up with hopeful eyes and reached his hands for it, and the second it touched him it splashed ALL over him. It was really funny. I think you had to be there to know just how hilarious I thought it was. After we ran out of balloons, we had a big water fight. Weapon of choice: buckets. Buckets are always better than water guns, I think, unless the guns are super high powered or have multiple spray nozzles. Mr. Louis (our landlord) and his girlfriend pulled in the driveway, right as I drenched Josh with a bucket full and then in the next moment used my bucket as a shield to block Joshes water. All Mr. Louis said, "Wow, she's good!" Haha, yes I am. After we finally truced, Josh shampooed and conditioned his hair in the yard with the hose and then I washed the car alone because Josh suddenly "had" to work on his project right then. Funny how that happens.
One thing I need to do this week is plant my garden. This will be the year of the carrot. And of the sunflower.

Sometimes it seems like my little dog has species identity issues when she climbs up on to the backrest of the sofa and snoozes there. She also pees in a litter box and doesn't bark when other dogs bark at her...

Q and A
So my interview went fairly well today.
To start, I feel like I totally overdressed. I changed my mind on what I was going to wear after a lot of time spent in front of the mirror. I went for the black skirt and cardigan look, instead of the jeanskirt. The main interviewer was wearing white capris and flip flops and the other one had jeans on. Well, better to be overdressed than underdressed, I always say (I don't actually ever say that, but I think I support the statement). Haha, I was also like half an hour early, if you can believe it. I really thought it would take more time to get there, I wanted to be 10 minutes early at the most. However, better early than late, you know! Anyways, at least I looked like I cared about the interview.
I feel like I answered the questions pretty well, all except one. I was a little um-ish on it, but I gave an answer so at least I said something. Most of them came right out of the Policy and Procedure Manuals we were given in years gone by ;). Now that I think about it, I have some things that I wish that I had added to some of my answers, but obviously they know that people who are being interviewed for a Beach Captain position haven't been trained as Beach Captains so I think that they were good enough. It's over now, and I feel good about how it went. They said I would hear back in roughly 2 weeks if they are going to offer me that position. So we'll see!

Drama, Paint Brushes, Job Interview
The play on Saturday night was quite good! They worked so hard on the music, like most of the songs had all these harmonies and everything. For some reason I wasn't in the mood for a musical when we got there, so I was a little antsy, but that doesn't mean the play wasn't well done. Josh liked it, too. Some of my favourite parts were the sneeky ways that HCA avoided kisses. The one between Lizel and that messenger guy became them leaning in and he just turned his back to the audience and the one with Maria and the Captain was a lean in, light dim, lights up, continue scene. You do what you gotta do, I suppose :). The only other performance of the Sound of Music I saw a few years ago had really long kisses, like it started to get awkward for the audience. I am almost always a person who can enjoy romantic moments in drama, but when the kisses last for 5 seconds or more in a play...I just want them to stop. So yeah, overall, the HCA play was well done with good costumes. After the play, I joined the painting party at Sarah's house-I can't wait to see her room when all the furniture goes back and the pictures are up. There was so much paint in the air that we had to clean out our noses. It so worked out that Christian was a painter so he ended up doing most of the hardcore painting. Well, maybe Shaun did some before I got there, however, I only know of one thing that he painted for sure ;). Morgan and I went for a late night pizza run and there was quite a bit of pizza on my face when we were done eating. I stayed at Sarah's and went to her church in the morning. Church was good, it was nice to go somewhere different.
I have a beach captain inverview tomorrow at 4pm! I'm not too nervous, but there's always the thought of, "What are they going to ask!" I have decided on the outfit I am wearing: my jean skirt and a blouse. It's really casual there, so I think that will be fine. Game plan: be eloquent and charming with every word, be unsurpassingly intelligent when talking about policies and procedures, and try to look responsible. I would love to be beach captain, but it won't be the end of the world if I don't get the position...just like the equivalent of an ice age, jk. No really, I'll be fine either way. It's the title I want really. The prestiege of everyone calling me Captain Christenson... ;)
"What would I do if there was a missing person at the beach? Oh yes, I would love to tell you! But may I first say that pink looks just lovely on you, because it totally does!" heh

Exam, check!
Ah, I passed! What a huge phew! I don't know why I was so worried. Well, I do. In my history of lifeguarding, I have done well every time, except this one inservice day we did for the pool a little while ago. I was rusty that day (hey, I needed to recertify ;) ). So I had to retrieve my confidance from a very dark and dingy hole, but after reviewing things, life is beautiful. I am confidant. I am a good lifeguard. I love the world and the world loves me.
The exam wasn't bad at all. I was the only one who did my rescues perfectly. Everyone else had comments from the examiners. I had an INSulin shock (I Need Sugar ;) ) and was 2nd guard on an angina turned heart attack. The situations were pretty sweet, actually. Then I had to be acting in a situation where my "boyfriend" and I got in a fight, and he punched me in the nose. That part was fun, I love turning into an actress for situations. For the other team's situations, one of the lifeguards who were really on duty was told by the examiners to pretend to have a seizure on the pool deck. That would have thrown me off for a second or two! It's done and I am happy.

The Hills are ALIVE! Ahhhhh
Ever think: "Life will be better after..."? I totally do that. I think that everyone does. Obviously that mindset isn't enjoying your life to the fullest, and there must be a way to do that, but that's beside the point. My "I can't wait till afters" for the present are first, till after my lifeguarding exam tonight, and then till after the session at the Stadium ends and I am done teaching all these classes and working at the pool for the summer. Right now I have 93 students spread out over 5 teaching shifts, yes I just counted. If anyone knows someone who would like to be a swimming instructor...I am telling you that they will get hired because we always need instructors. I don't know if I like teaching and lifeguarding anymore. However that could be because I do so much of it. The thought of life after these "I can't wait till afters" warms my heart. The magic day is June 17. Hurry up May (and June), be over!! Feel free to share your "I can't wait till afters" and we can wish time away together ;). Next, "my life will be perfect when"...who wants to wallow?? Just kidding!! :)
I am going to see the Sound of Music this weekend, which should be an interesting event (I always look forward to HCA plays no matter what they are), and they have excellent theatrical/backstage help this year in my favourite neuroscience and theatre major. I don't know how Josh is going to sit through it, cause he really isn't a musical kind of boy. Maybe we can think of some fun things to do during the play: thumb wars, sending paper airplanes to Megha, waving our arms back and forth in the air anytime that music begins, yelling out "it's not going to work out with you two!" or "aww they are going to end up together forever" during various love moments...this could be a lot of fun ;)!
Shiloh has had a bath and smells nice.
I am happy to report that there is life all around me: the flies in Waverley are officially out and having family reuinions, birthday parties and above-ground raves.

Enter: May Flowers
This weekend has flown by. I spent way too much time at work teaching then doing my lifeguard pre-cert. for my upcoming re-certification. Every facility wants you to do things differently, so I will be going over everything that we went over until I know it inside and out. The exam is on Thursday night. Then house/Fudge sitting for Sarah came next. It was lovely having the place to myself, and I spent most of the evening with Bryan Adams going over my lifeguarding stuff. Most of the songs from the Best of Me album I had heard on the radio. I have to say, he either really understands women, or a female wrote his songs. For instance:
A selection from Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?
To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly...
When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?...
Let her hold you - til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes...
http://www.lyricsstyle.com/b/bryanadams/haveyoueverreallylovedawoman.html
Another quick summary of Inside Out
The biggest lie you ever told - your deepest fear 'bout growin' old
The longest night you ever spent - the angriest letter you never sent
The boy you swore you'd never leave - the one you kissed on new years's eve
The sweetest dream you had last night -- your darkest hour, your hardest fight
I wanna know you - like I know myself
I'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else
Talk to me baby - scream and shout
I want to know you - inside out
I wanna dig down deep - I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout - I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time - I wanna know your mind
Ya know there ain't no doubt - I wanna know you inside out
The saddest song you ever heard - the most you said with just one word
The loneliest prayer you ever prayed - the truest vow you ever made
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry
What makes you mad, what gets you by
Your highest high, your lowest low - these things I want to know
http://www.lyricsstyle.com/b/bryanadams/insideout.html
All that to say: it's gold! I don't know why women all across the nation aren't saying to their significant others, "Why can you be more like Bryan Adams!" However, I am not speaking for all his songs, because maybe some of them aren't tasteful, but I like to think of those songs in the context of marriage. So yes, those are my thoughts on him. I think that all dogs are pretty much the same they just look different, because Fudge acts just like Shiloh. Sunday was relaxing, Josh and I watched iRobot. It would be so wonderful to have one of these household robots to do your chores for you and to cook for you-well, one of the normal ones, because if they have the red light on their chest, they try to take over the world, and no one likes that. In closing, I have a cough so my throat is getting scratchy and the "chain-smoker woman" voice is back. I do not want to lose my voice. Please pray that I am healthy for my lifeguarding exam.
Till next time, this is the Big Jesser, over and out!
A selection from Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?
To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly...
When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?...
Let her hold you - til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes...

Another quick summary of Inside Out
The biggest lie you ever told - your deepest fear 'bout growin' old
The longest night you ever spent - the angriest letter you never sent
The boy you swore you'd never leave - the one you kissed on new years's eve
The sweetest dream you had last night -- your darkest hour, your hardest fight
I wanna know you - like I know myself
I'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else
Talk to me baby - scream and shout
I want to know you - inside out
I wanna dig down deep - I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout - I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time - I wanna know your mind
Ya know there ain't no doubt - I wanna know you inside out
The saddest song you ever heard - the most you said with just one word
The loneliest prayer you ever prayed - the truest vow you ever made
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry
What makes you mad, what gets you by
Your highest high, your lowest low - these things I want to know

All that to say: it's gold! I don't know why women all across the nation aren't saying to their significant others, "Why can you be more like Bryan Adams!" However, I am not speaking for all his songs, because maybe some of them aren't tasteful, but I like to think of those songs in the context of marriage. So yes, those are my thoughts on him.
