It's just a matter of time

Well, here I sit again, in the throes of illness.
Since this stupidity has come about, loads of things I had wanted to do I cancelled on.
One thing which is good is the fact that I skived out on a Vacation Bible School that I volunteered for...though not really volunteered for.
I really don't like kids, and every year the woman who organises it goes more and more overboard with things.
She assumes that I am going to be places.
To me, all the charity is gone when someone assumes your position before you were able to volunteer.
It drives me insane.
I had managed to avoid VBS for four years already, and I have to say I was extremely pleased.
Though this year, it seemed like I had no way out.
Enter illness.
*evil laugh*

Oh dear, I must minimise my evil laughing, as it is making me cough...
Anyway, I am really torn on the subject of VBS.

PROS

It is teaching kids about the Bible in some way, I'm sure

It's engaging the community, having kids participate and communicate with each other

Ultimately, it is faith-based

CONS

It's not an Eastern Catholic programme, and not even Catholic in any remote way. I feel that we should be teaching kids Eastern spirituality from early ages.

It gets convoluted. The activities I fear, will go in one ear and right out the other.

It's a very rushed and stressed atmosphere. I wouldn't like it if I were an atendee.

More planning and preperation goes into this stupid week than things that have been established for years, eg the Acolyte Convention, which is Eastern Catholic in nature, and has more depth and etc.

Whatever...I said I was torn.
Though I did attend the first night, I felt ill that entire time.
I have a suspicion that the people there think I am faking it.
Only because of the fact that I have managed to skive out them all now!
It's not good anyway, even if I were on antibiotics, to be round infants and toddlers.

Anyway, that stupid VBS thing cancelled out my plans for going to NYC to see Bloc Party!!
I am gutted.
Though it seemed mad from the word go, I still wanted to try and do it somehow.
Now, who knows if I'll ever fucking see Bloc Party... :(
Must keep positive!

Though now I am concerned as well, as We Are Scientists have a gig on August 11th, and I desperately want to feel well enough to attend that!
Especially since they are a quality band, it's a very small venue and they are touring with Kings of Leon this fall.
And ultimately, I will not see KoL at another gig, as they decided NOT to include any dates locally this time round for reasons unknown. Gutted about that too.
Imagine...seeing KoL AND WAS.
What a show!
Especially since KoL are mega live!!
Thooooough, I also found out that a date has been sceduled for the Fratellis in September!
If any one person comes between that date and I...I will put a move on them!
It's almost like it's too good to be true.
Gogol Bordello, Bloc Party/DIOYY?, WAS and the Fratellis.
Two down, two to go...
We shall see how my plans will hatch!
