for no particular reason, i feel like listing a random selection of some of the contents of my backpack:
-lonely planet: southeast asia on a shoestring
-$600 worth of prescriptions including 200 malaria pills
-2 lush solid shampoo bars
-a lil' LED light that's shaped like a turtle. it's fucking cute, dammit!
-a sleeping sheet (that's right, not even a sleeping bag. a sheet. but oooh it comes in a little sack!)
-my very first digital camera
-baby moo cow baby
ok so there is absolutely no continuity to this entry but that's just how it's going to be so stay with me people. this trip is resulting in some maaaaajorrrrr changes for me. first off, as some of you know i've had a constant sleeping companion since i was about 16. and that special someone is my moo cow baby. i tried stuffing him into my backpack but it just wouldn't happen and i thought i might collapse in a fit of despair but fortunately mike has gotten me a palm-sized moo cow baby (and from cow's ice cream in whistler at that. mmmmm.....)! it's a big change and the baby moo cow baby won't be able to replace my real moo cow but life will go on. here's a picture of the two of them together:
second of all, my physical appearance is changing as well. since i probably won't be able to shower and groom myself properly on my trip i just had my lil' cousin chop off my hair and here are pictures of her taking her scissors to my hair & the end results:
and so im trading in my longer hair, leather boots, matt & nat handbags and mini skorts and such for the shortest hair i've had in many years, running shoes (my first pair since i was like 15!), a MEC pack and cheap jeans. so basically im going from an ugly duckling to a full-fledged ultra sexy beast. i'll probably have to beat the boys off of me with a canoe paddle. you can witness the magical transformation for yourself as seen here:
exhibit A: ugly duckling
exhibit B: sexy beast
incredible, isn't it?
