6 Diva's, 3 Dudes.....and Me

Last Night I was not in the best of moods. I was still sulking over the fact that now only one friend was coming home to London with me next weekend, even if Elliot Lake (Northern Ontario) is way cooler than Southern Ontario.I was also bumbed out because I wanted to see Jersey Boys on the Friday of my free time but the logistics of getting back to London after the show was turning into a problem. Being the overly emotional mess that I am I decided to barricade myself in my room and fall asleep though it was only 8pm.

I had barely gotten 10 minutes of peace and quiet to myself when Tom and Jessica came into my room and woke me up by turning on the lights. They came to remind me that we had a KCC (Katimavik Coronation Council) planning meeting tonight for second languages. Grudgingly I agreed to roll over in my bed and listen to them talk. The meeting wasn't terrible long,thankfully,and it was about to finish when my whole group entered and decided to have a full house meeting in my room.The fact that I was only in my long johns matter little to them. What was on the agenda you ask? Well there was the matter of who was using twice the amount of detergent for their clothes but more importantly the showcasing of a new purchase was the more important part. There in front of Nicole, our Project Leader, were 5 little pink boxes. Inside of them were little items that had been a common topic in our household for the past week. It was something called Diva cup. For those of you who do not know what a Diva cup is, a quick description is that it is a system for women who are experiencing their "time of the month" and it is a system that is reusable and environmental. Here in my room were six girls talking openly about how it was made in Canada, came with a carrying bag and a memorable pin which declared them official Divas.

That meeting really showed me that my group is reaching a new level of closeness. If someone asked me three months ago what I would be talking about my group with,the topic of Diva cups would not even have been on my radar. I may have been in a bad mood that night and I am sure more of my mood swings are on the horizon but nevertheless my group never fails to show off their annoying quirks which in the end force me to really really really like them.(I mean I could say love but I am not sure if our relationship has reached that level yet!)
