Woo, Rock On!

I had my meeting with Joline from S/AM (for those of you that asked, SIDA/AIDS Moncton) this morning. I'm feeling really good about this. I'm so glad I took the initiative (though, admittedly, it did take me a while..). They're going to let me redesign the presentation they usually deliver, and eventually, if all goes well, I should eventually be able to do some presentations myself. Woo! They do presentations in schools in the tri-country area, in the high schools. They don't really do middle schools, though, unless they are requested. I can see things are probably going to be pretty frustrating for me. We started talking about things, and she said that the French districts are usually more relaxed and casual about them. That means, they can pretty much say what they want, and be open. However, the English schools are more uptight about things. For example, they can't even mention condoms during their presentation. Hello? It's about AIDS?? What the fuck?

Anyway, I'm totally excited about all this. Joline is my age, which is nice because it's encouraging to know I could be in her place someday, and I can take her job after I cut the breaks in her car..

Uhm..

What was I talking about? Oh, right. :)

So, there's a training session on the 9th of October, that hopefully I can go to. I imagine I'll be able to, I'll just have to round up some volunteers.

Oh, I also got the impression that I was better off not getting that job at AIDS NB. They are not, as most assume, the 'boss' of all the other AIDS organizations in the province, but they do collaborate with them. Joline gave me the impression that tend to bully the other orgs around, because they have more funding. So, everything happens for a reason. Just as I thought!

Oh, Cabin Fever. Definitely in the "So Bad It's Good" Category. There were a lot of non-sensical occurrances in the movie (including, some girl sticking her finger up some guys bum, a giant rabbit in a hospital, and a boy who looks like a girl screaming 'pancake!' then doing some Matrix-style Judo moves) but it was nevertheless a good, gross, and funny horror film. It was very aware that it was a dumb horror movie (hello? 5 teenagers in a cabin in the middle of the woods?), and it made fun of itself - "I made it, I actually made it! Wow! I made it!" *bang* *bang* *thud*. Heh. Though I've now probably ruined the movie for most of you, I do recommend it (though I know that most of my readers don't like gorey movies, anyway). The other thing though, is that Lisa & I seemed to be the only ones in the theatre who found any of this funny.
