Storrys About Marina

the time: new years 2001/2, the place, edmonton, alberta.

 we (we being just about everyone at new years) had just watched The
Fellowship Of The Ring, an were walking down several ramps towards the the
subway, and home. on one such ramp, I noticed marina flying down it, with
her wings outstretched, acting very airplane like. I called across to her
that she needed to get take-off permission first, so she didn't crash into
any other planes. on the next ramp, I heard her shouting my name. having
forgotten my recent advise, I looked over to see what was up. there she was,
standing at the top of the ramp, bouncing up and down on the spot, looking
rather like someone who needed to go pee. "permission to take-off dan?" she
yelled, and, grinning, I gave it. whooooosh, away she went.

the end.

We were hiking around with a bunch of other people while we were at Becky's, and I don't know what brought it on, but we started "fighting". It was really funny... we started pushing eachother around, saying stuff like "don't start with me!" "don't start with me!" "don't start with me, Marina!!" and then we started waving our hands around, half hitting each other's hands, screaming and looking away, flinching. It's not even really funny, but it was then. [1] Also, when the people washing dishes needed entertainment, she and Franny and I went in there and played Leaving on a Jet Plane and Dona Dona and a bunch of other songs, and we ended up with about 10 people in there, sitting on the floor and singing. It was really awesome.

Ohh do i have stories about marina! let's see, to pick just one... Well. it was oh, i don't know, maybe 2 - 5am. We had been working on MOTLEY, our poetry book... i'd been going through her pictures deciding which ones i wanted to steal. Somehow we got started talking about trust falls. i told her that i'd never, never, EVER been able to do a trust fall before. well... she pulled me up off of the bed. turned me around, and said "fall." and... i didn't. she kept her hands hovering behind my back so i could feel them through my shirt, and after what seemed like an agonizingly long time (is that a word?) punctuated by shrieks on my part... i did it. i did a trust fall. props to marina.the most amazing whether woman i've ever encountered.

I remember Marina at the prom this year....she was just hilarious! wearing a towel and flip-flops and that was like it....so we were running around at the prom and stuff, and she started complaining how she couldn't actually dance in the silly thing because nothing really was holding it up so she could only dance with the lower half of her body....so I held it up! and we danced around the room like that! It was reaallly cool!

I can think up so many things! But I'm only gonna post one..for now, anyway... It was the first day of second session, and we were eagerly waiting for the buses to arrive. We waited by the road for maybe half an hour, singing and talking while we made crowns for ourselves out of big clumps of little white flowers. Then the buses finally pulled up and we jumped up and down yelling and waving, and then ran behind them, still shrieking at the top of our lungs! - Emma

I remember being really blown away, because she was *nothing* like what I expected (better!). I also remember her amazing voice, and her wonderful camp anthem, which was very.... silly.... to say the least. This is what happens when incredibly talented, creative people stay up way too late. -JessicaSkater

Yes, yes, yes...Marina was MY prom date!! And no matter what she or anybody else says, I DIDN'T cheat on her! (well....at least not intentionally!) Anyway, she wore a lovely boa, and I got some great pictures of her posing in it! We did have some lovely dances together, and we made a very cute couple. I think I'm going to have a little talk with her about radical monogomy (if there IS such a thing), and then maybe we can go to prom together next year and avoide all those messy flirting-with-other-people-than-your-date issues! -Becky

• which is exactly why i think threesomes and orgies are just less complicated. ;) yay marina. yay becky.

Every time I ran into Marina at camp last year, she'd say, "Mibitchebell! Dahbahlibing!" I never let on how much I enjoyed that.

[1] It was hilarious, punk! Mwah.

• don't start with me, you jerk.
