Hakuna Matata

Gillery here, blogging in your eye. I'd first like to address a rampant rumor, yes I am going to Africa. Why Africa? I have relatives there, my brother and this girl he married (I forget her name...yikes!) are in the peace corp. I don't really know what they do over there but I'm about to find out. I've never been to Africa but I've seen a ton of Lion King in my prime, so I think we're ready to go.

 I had to go to the doctor and get 4 shots for Africa. FOUR!. They stuck 2 in my arms and 2 in my legs. I'm not saying getting shots hurt but I hate needles. The nurse could see the terror in my eyes when she brought in the needles so she assured me it would be a quick little pinch no pain at all. When she stuck the first needle in my arm I let out a "AAHHHH" the nurse looked at me and I said "I'm just teasing that didn't hurt" she wasn't amused (awkward) When she was sticking more needles in me she apologized for the long wait earlier (I was in the waiting room for at least an hour) because one of the doctors called in sick. I giggled and said "isn't it kind of unacceptable to call in here sick?" once again this lady didn't find me funny, which is rather unusual for a girl not to laugh when I have my shirt off. To top off the long wait, four needles, and the nurse with the strict no laugh policy, they didn't even have lolly-pops (I would of went with orange) plus Mini Mom who also got shots, didn't even take me to Chuck-E-Cheese to make me feel better.

Surviving Africa doesn't end with just a few shots. I start taking malaria pills today. As you all know I don't understand a lot of things (like why do I absolutely love the freecreditreport.com commercials) But heres whats really baffling my huge brain lately, on tube thing my pills are in there is a little sticker that says "Avoid prolonged or excessive exposure to direct and/or artifical sunlight while taking this medication" Am I the only one that sees this as a little ridiculous, I think its going to be a little hard for me to avoid "excessive exposure" to the sun in F'in Africa. It's not even like I was not gonna get burnt over there, considering my skin tone is somewhere in between paper and Jungle Jim Loscutoff. 

I'll be in Africa for two weeks, my return will coincide with the start of Box Car Children Pool Team (BCCPT) season. If you don't know who the BCCPT are maybe Jimmy will write a blog about it. In short we are a dynasty in every sense of the word, our leader Billy Edelin rules with a iron fist, the team chemistry is even better then Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz' was in "What Happens in Vegas" and our skill is purer then Jesus' jumpshot. 

Although I'll be gone I don't think I'll soon be forgotten, and if I am it's only gonna be for two weeks so don't do anything crazy. I will bring you all back gifts, most likely a t shirt that says "My friend wen to Africa and all I got was this Stupid T-Shirt !" but maybe I'll mix it up. Stay thirsty my friends.
