Killing Machine



I (accidently) split a frog as big as the palm of my hand in half with my shovel. Right in half. In my defense, it looked like a nice big clump of dirt...that may be a good disguise from other animals but to a treeplanter you're a sitting..clump of dirt. I screamed at the top of my lungs and for the rest of the day picked up all the frogs i saw and caressed them lovingly to appoligize for killing the freakin grandaddy of all frogs. It was sooooooo gross.

I can't believe i do this. I must be crazy. I'm going to be broken by the end of it but i don't really care because in a sick kind of way I love it. I even didn't really mind the high winds, rain and hail we got yesterday. It was somthing else. It looked like something out of a Japanese anime. It was amazing I was amazed. That is until I nearly got struck by lightning. All I could see was flash all i could hear was what sounded like a gun shot and you know when you put your tongue on a battery...well I felt that kind of electrical surge all through my body. I was with another girl and she felt the same thing. We dropped our shit (including our lighting rod shovels) and just bloted across the block. It was terrifying I was terrified.

Dirty


I'm in prince george once again after only 2 days planting. They went pretty well although my stomach turned when i saw my first clearcut of the year. Once again it feels like I never left which always freaks me out quite a bit. It kind of feels like the whole year kind of shifted positions in time so that all the planting seasons are back to back. I don't know how to explain it. The rookie party was last night and the company owner bought us two kegs for the festivities. The rookie party is just an excuse to get wasted and pick on all the new planters. It was great fun save for the fact that I woke up this morning feeling like I'd been drinking Bifteck pitchers all night...so pretty much feeling like a bag full of assholes. Ok I HAVE to leave...Phil Collins playing.

Princess George

I am in Prince George waiting around for patty to pick me up. I'm anxious. But i just bought candy so it kind of all works out. I didn't sleep but an hour in the last 24 because I'm silly and thought that the third was wednesday which clearly it is not. Anyway I spent all night burning Cd's and before i knew it it was 5am and i hadn't burnt half the one's i wanted and had to run to the airport with an empty belly and the last thing i want to eat at 7 in the morning is a 5$ roast beef sandwich on a stale croissant. Thanks alot West Jet. Anyway bright and early tomorrow morning I will be in hell...so i think i'm going to go mope now.
