one last hurrah (x 2)
it's words like "goodbye" that can really give you a nice kick in the toushkin in realizing that change is unavoidable.
here's a recap of the past couple of days:
april 17 - andy and simona's surprise goodbye party with the youth group. who knew 7 months would be so short? and now they're heading back to germany, and then to spain this summer to continue with their missionary work. i think i've come to the conclusion that i'm not the best at stalling people - but at least i've become quite good at playing tourguide :o) not only did they get to see all of mississauga, but they all got to see mississauga x3 :oP it's never an easy thing to say goodbye, but thankfully we were able to distract ourselves from crying and letting our emotions get to us by indulging ourselves in a whole lotta food, a whole lotta ice cream cake, a whole lotta x-box, a whole lotta movies, and a whole lotta good luvin'!
april 18 - travelled back up to waterloo for one last "agfitrian" co-op gathering at east side's. though some significant people were MIA (ie: jared, who was excused; and kara, who was not so excused), it was still good times all around. dinner followed by some serious tcby action and a surprise cameo by none other than timothy orr himself definitely put the FUNNNN back in FUNNNNtra ;o) (inside joke, folks). hard to believe we've been keeping this up for almost a good 3 years running! but parsley or no parsley, bongosaurus or no bongosaurus, it's been simply wonderful times with the agfitrian crew. definitely gonna be one of the things i'll miss about good ol' waterloo.
oh - and um, for those who haven't heard yet, rohit and i are planning to get married so we can have cheaper car insurance :oP
future names of children: hyundai and ford focus (please don't ask. there was either too much sugar in my raspberry/blueberry smoothie or those weren't really m&ms in roro's vanilla frozen yogurt)
editorial note: i had candy in my mouth when the waitress took the picture, which would account for the chipmunk-esque disposition. :oi
with all these goodbyes happening left, right, and center, i think the whole feeling of "everything coming to a close" is finally sinking in... doh.

At least you're doing it up and going out in style ;)
Too bad we didn't meet until the *END* of your stay here in LooTown. Hopefully we can keep in touch a bit.
So long as you keep posting amusing-ness on your blog, I'll keep posting useless comments :)

i'm not entirely sure which are better, hyundai and ford focus, or agfamafagfa and googlemango (robo's other favourite names for children). yep, we were so right...all the interesting people pass through agfa at one point or another ;)
all the best this summer stella...maybe we'll meet up, after all, i'm gonna be hanging about your neighbouring brampton ;)
keep in touch lady,
s.
p.s. er, something got screwed up and i think i just posted this twice or something...so i deleted the first one :S

*sigh* yes shawnica, agfa/agfitra/mitra certainly does bring the most interesting of people together - hehe, that would explain a lot, actually ;o)
all the best to you too, my dear. whenever you have time, drop me a line and we can do lunch and argue over who loves colin firth the most... hehe :oP
btw, i got rid of the empty post you were talking about - no worries. :o)

about those names.....Ford Focus is more practical, because it gives the poor child a middle name, but Hyundai sounds much nicer and more exotic. your call....apparently. might I suggest the title of a good baby-name book? please? consider it my gift to your future children....

Ten years later...
Ford Focus: Daddy, how did you and Mommy meet?
Ro: It's very romantic, son... your mother and I got married to save on car insurance.
Ford Focus: Wow, that's stupid.
Ro: Go to your room! Little brat... why can't you be more like your sister Hyundai.
...
Lookin forward to it already Sweetie.
