food glorious food!

A smorgasboard of my thoughts.
I can go from Chinese food to Ice Age to prayer in a few seconds flat.
Allow me to walk you through my thought process.
(The elimination of all the in between stages is what makes other people consider me random. I promise, I am not completely losing it. Yet.)

You know you're hungry and sick of your own food when everything smells good as you walk down the street. In the course of a minute I went from craving chicken balls to Shawarma, but not the Canadian stuff, the Shoarma in Amsterdam like that one time Marco and I got some before home group and we ate it at Vondelpark with the crazy guy beating a fish and the crowd cheering.
So basically, I'm sick of the casserole I made because it lasts me at least a week and that's just a really long time for one thing. And cooking for one person is just annoying.
Also, I went to make a sandwich for my lunch today and my bread was moldy. So I had to have casserole for lunch. *sigh*
And I am also reminded of Oliver because they sing "Food Glorious Food!" and it's a great song from a great musical and then in Ice Age II they do a very amusing rendition of the song and that's a very funny movie also if you haven't seen it. We watched it twice last Sunday (not the whole movie, just the fire king and food glorious food scenes because they were the best) and I enjoyed laughing and being with a whole bunch of people I barely know because it's always fun to make new friends.
And also that made me miss garbage bag rug wrestling cuz some of the guys started a tickle wrestling fight of some sort and I was thinking how if Jacoline or Tina were here they could totally beat these guys and it would be so fun to see, just like Tina fought at the beach, and Westerpark for that matter, and Jaco at the Willemsstraat.
Oh, and the beach, and sleeping outside all night...I can't wait to do that again, but I guess I'll have to wait unless I want to freeze. This summer I will find a time to do it. Like Sarah and me in Noord Amsterdam, haha. And how cool that God uses random ideas to become major experiences where we learn more about the power of prayer.

And then my bus showed up and a new chain of thoughts began.
