Anatomy of a Random

Yesterday was what we would call random. Let me give you an outline:

- My friend Carolyn who works as a flight attendant gave us a phone call to meet up for lunch. This was a total surprise and really short notice, but off we went anyway. It was great!

- I made it home, but left VERY late to get to Healthworks to pray at the store. I almost didn't go because I was so late, but though I should anyway because I don't want to cop out on my word. So I went, prayed for a little while and when it was time to leave into the store walks in one of my best good friends, Jon.

- I was going to call Jon once I got home, so that saved some time and driving across the city a few more times which isn't the funnest thing in the world. We hang out and go to Whyte Ave so Jon can get some new duds with his hard earned money.

- We successfully get one shirt and decide its time to drink coffee. So we sit down at Starbucks. A few moments later Kandyce walks by! Surprise! And not two seconds later her brother walks up. So now its four of us having coffee.

- I tell them about how I saw Adrian in Saskatoon and RIGHT when I said her name... Adrian walks up. So she joins us for coffee. And she has three guys with her that I have not seen in a long time so it was good to see them.

- Oh yeah, my friend Lana was working at Starbucks too, which was a total surprise.

- Kandyce, Chris, Jon and I decide to hang out for the evening.

- We go see our friend's punk rock show, which... well... I don't feel as if I fit in there, but it was fun nonetheless.

- We get something to drink, Jon goes for a walk to find a bank machine and... runs into our friend Mike Bablitz!! I'm telling you what -- this was one strange evening.

- We move venues to a nice pub on Whyte and the place gets CRAZY. I don't like that all too much, but I was with people I liked so that made it good, plus it should be neccessary for all Christians to get their heads out of their closed pretend worlds and bring it to the places that actually need it. I've had some pretty wild Jesus moments in this pub, and am always looking for more.

-Then we saw a guy who got freaking horns implanted in his head. Chris strikes up a converstian and I can't close my wide open mouth. This guy says, "Oh that's nothing, check out my buddy" who then opens his mouth to show us his forked tongue!!!! I honestly yelled in shock and they all laughed at me. His tongue was cut down the middle and he could move both sides totally independantly of each other. That was freakish.

- We finally leave the pub and when we are leaving in walks my friend Elizabeth....

- By this time the evening is so strange with meeting random people that I know it is time to go home. So I did. Without running into more people that I know which was good. With all of this you'd think I live in a small town. Nope. We've got over a million people wondering around this city. Apparently it was just time for us all to see each other all at once yesterday.
