Day 96- Saturday, April 14th 2012

So today, was pretty much AWESOME! In the morning I talked with Rae and we made our final plans to meeting up today in Volcan. Im going to go chill with them for the weekend. It is actually coming at the perfect time! 1) I need a mini-vacation. 2) The Klein's are in Volcan in the English hall. 3) We are all from the West Coast! Holla! Hey! Anyone know Rachel (Rae) and Bethany (Beth) Bowman from Oregon? Beth is getting married VERY soon. Anyways, if you don't know them…they are AWESOME! So I went in service in the morning. Then when we came home around lunch time, Rebe realized she didn't bring the keys in the morning. Usually the person to have them last is the one that keeps the tabs on them.  Well they left them inside the house today. And when we got home from service, the keys were in the house and we couldn't get in. The back door was very much closed with the bolt. So there we were just waiting. And the key we needed is one of a padlock. And I didn't pay attention to how to pick that type of lock, when I had to pick one of the locks at my house. Besides, I had nothing to pick the lock with. I had one bobby-pin. Which is ½ of what you need if you are going to pick a lock. But I didn't have anything else with me. So then Rebe was like I have this. And pulled out a hair pin just thick and long enough to be able to use it. But since it was her hair pin and it was actually nice, so she wanted to try to do. Only problem is that she doesn't know how to do it. She was like you can try to do it, if you want but I ended up breaking part of the ''pretty''part of her hair pin off when I was twisting the lock and I almost had it, and she was like "AHH! My hair pin." Which made me stop because you just stop when someone freaks out. And then I could tell she kinda wanted her hair pin back and I was like 'Ash!' So I sat out on the porchy area and was like 'Ok…Well I can't go to Volcan until I am all packed. And I can't get all packed until I get inside. Since the key is inside, I can't personally get inside until the couple comes home, with their key.' So I sat there for about 45 minutes waiting for them to come home. By the time they got home, I had literally about 20 minutes to get EVERYTHING I would need for my mini-vacation. Which includes 2 days of clothes, plus meeting clothes, plus swimming outfit, plus meeting books, plus computer, plus makeup, plus shoes, heels, toiletries, plus a towel, plus camera, charger, phone charger, computer charger. All into my military backpack. PLUS strapping my sleeping bag to the front of all of that. Yup all in 20 minutes. Oh yeah! PLUS changing into other clothes and trying to eat something before I ran out the door. FUN STUFF!! The bus passed as soon as I set my backpack outside. I figured if I have to run in to get anything, a someone tries to take my bag…well…if they can actually pick it up and get away with it, before I come running out. Well then they deserve to steal it. Haha! So the bus pulls up, he saw my bag and was like 'I think someone is going to go somewhere' so he waited for a few seconds while I grabbed my sweater and scarf thingy inside and ran out, with my shoes untied, by the way. Side note. His helper walked up to me with a seemingly manly voice and was like 'Here. Let me help you with that bag.' Fine with me! Mean sI don't have to carry it for like 5 steps. BUT! Im pretty sure I am stronger then his helpers because I just had it slung over my one shoulder and this kid grabbed it dropped it and then literally heaved it on his back with both biceps straining. I was like 'Haha! Lame!' and got on the bus…oh but I didn't actually say that, just in my mind. We got to the terminal and the bus dropped me off and went to go wait in its usual spot, while Mr. Rico-Suave pulled in to the terminal to pick up anyone going back home. 

'You going home?' he asked me.                                                                             

'Nope!' I said. 'Going to Volcan'

'To visit your boyfriend?' he asked. I just smiled and his face changed from a joking smile to being very serious! Haha. Weirdo. Maybe he thought I was gonna be his "amiga" since he bought me chocolate. Unfortunately for him he doesn't know, I am NOT like every other female, chocolate, although it is amazing. Is not how you win me over! Definitely not chocolate! But oh well. The bus to Volcan pulled up and I slung my backpack over my shoulder again and walked up to the bus. AGAIN 'Here. Let me help you with your bag' the guy said. So I let him and AGAIN he grabbed it with one arm, dropped it, then heaved it onto his back. Why are these people so weak? Do they think since "a girl" like me, can walk with it on one shoulder they can too? INSANITY baby! It does things to you. Haha. But yes, Im pretty awesome. Haha. Anyways, Mr. Rico-Suave gave me a sad wave, and I waved back and smiled. He smiled and as I was stepping on the other bus, blew me a kiss. He is starting to seem to me like a very "sad" person. Maybe because his trickery isn't working. I don't know. Either way, I throw him off his game and he is used to always being on his game. 

On the bus, I was thinking about life, friends, family, back home, being here, and all of a sudden I was thinking again about finding a mindless activity. For a split second my mind drifted to Mr. Rico-Suave. and at that same second a songs chorus came blasting through my headphones. I didn't even realize the song was in English, I only realized it at the chorus. And do you know why? What was so interesting about the chorus? Well it said, remember I was thinking about a mindless activity to blow off steam and then Mr. Rico-Suave and his "being-sweet-on-me-ness" The song said. 

"One lonely night. One lonely night is all it takes to break you. Have you gone and lost your mind? You should know she is one of a kind. One lonely night, Oh, one lonely night, Thats all it takes to completely break you!" And I was like 'WOW! Coincidence? Maybe…Thought=provoking-in-order-to-change-my-minds-topic-from-Mr.RicoSuave-and-his-niceness-to-me…DEFINITELY! Crazy timing right?! I thought so, very much! 

When I got to Volcan I waited for like an hour for the girls to show up. Once they did we walked to their host-house. Its interesting. :) We talked like crazy, our plan was to watch a movie that night. But from the second I got there, we started talking. About everything! From people we know here in Panama that have a twisted past. And they didn't know they knew the other person. We combined both stories and decided our choice on who doesn't deserve who was correct. SHE doesn't deserve HIM at all. And although it hurt him we were all VERY glad they didn't get together. Cause she would have RUINED him! And he is like the most awesome person in the world…in the 3rd world that is. haha. Anyways, then we talked about Beth's wedding. And Rae's future one. And then my almost-wedding-January-2012. And they were like WHAT?! The jerk! haha. Its nice to talk to West Coasters about this kind of stuff cause they will tell you what they really think about the subject. :) Then we talked more about Beth's wedding. How she met Cody. Then we talked about how Rae met Clayton. And talked about things happening in Volcan, and the WHOLE drama story about the two different crazies here in Monte Lirio. (Sorry folks but you guys don't know the WHOLE drama story about the 2 different crazies, cause Im sheltering you guys..haha…but seriously…I am.) Anyways, the girls got the WHOLE story! PLUS the whole stories about Mr. Rico-Suave because he is part of the drama of one of the crazies as well as part of twisted past stories. Then they asked me about what my plans were for the future. Of course they also wanted to know if I had my ojos on anyone. So I told them about my list and about other things. (sorry you guys don't get to hear that stuff either. haha…maybe someday :D) They approved haha…they showed me pictures, and I showed them pictures. And then before we realized it, it was 3 in the morning and we were supposed to go to the Sign Language meeting which is at 8 in the morning. So thats what happened today. This was probably the best thing I could do right now, come and hang out with these girls. :) I  ((HEART)) them. :) We also decided they needed to come visit me and I need to someday go to Oregon to visit with Rae and South Dakota to visit Beth. :) We will see. :) Thats all for now. Goodnight Day 96!
