Well here I am in Abbotsford, sitting in my brothers room.
Sorry for the lack of updates, you know I was so excited for having all of December off to bum around and work...but all I did was work(and bum around) and I didnt accomplish anything that I wanted.
Anyways, I am back home now, and its been really busy but good...sometimes a gong show, but for all that know me well, of course thats to be expected...imagine 5 silvas together.
Yesterday I went to that Body Worlds 3 exhibit at Science World in Vancouver with my sister, her friends, and little brother timmy. It was such a weird and surreal experience. I cannot believe how truly incredible our bodies are...so intricate, we truly have an incredible creator. I dont know if I really agreed with the whole idea of Body Worlds....(for all those who havent heard of it, Gunther V. Hagen plastinated real human bodies, after their deaths-with their permission, and put these bodies on display) There were comparisons of body parts that were destroyed by some disease to healthy body parts, and then whole human bodies in some sort of athletic poses putting certain muscles or body parts to their potential use. It was just weird to think that these bodies were once real people living lives, like you and me. I dont know, it would be intresting to hear your opinions on whether you agree or disagree with this whole idea. Rexy (dad) refused to go, he thought it was demeaning even though the models had given permission to allow their bodies to be used. I can see that, some of the poses the bodies were put in were strange...
oh science........

I don't really have a problem with it if people had given their permission. I think it would be pretty weird to see though, knowing the statues were made from real people... It seems a little creepy
When are you leaving?
Abbotsford I mean.
Do you have time for a coffee?
I'm undecided. However, everyone I have talked to who has gone has had good things to say about. I think it's good in theory but not sure I would pay money to see other people's insides
I'm reading Loveing your Body right now (and i'll get through it this time....i swear!!) and part of having a healty view of how you look is complete and utter respect for how our creator made us.
Your entry just reminded me of that, thats all.
k...so...this is me:
"i miss tabby"
"why can't i see her"
"where's my lover"
"ummmm...i guess...maybe that was too much...i mean, well...i'm sorry...but i just....i just...you know...miss you...and well...i wanna call you soon...sorry i haven't yet...i guess...i've just been really nervous...and umm...i guess i better go [insert chelsea kissing tabby on the cheek]."
(was that pretty good for being awkward online or what!)
miss you babe!
um... yeah, Tabby.... I was just wondering if you could maybe update your blog sometime.... I mean, I know you're a busy person.. but those of us that are too far away to visit like to still know what's going on in your life... just a thought... you know... if you want...Hope your life is going swell..... I loved the "My hands are Bananas" movie by the way.....
