Hello my dear blogging friends!
I have an important announcement, there will be no big announcement as I first told you about a few months ago. Sadly, the entire plan fell through and I am still stuck in HELL. Needless to say, I'm working on my next plan of escape and I will keep you up to date as often as possible.
ANYWAY, because I'm still stuck here and I'm not able to go home and visit family for Thanksgiving, I've decided to make the best of things while I'm here.
You should all be very proud of me as I'm going to go help the less fortunate people on earth (
aka) Homeless folk, and work at a Mission/Soup Kitchen on Thanksgiving day!
I know, it's so exciting! I mean, I can't wait to write about my entire experience on my blog once I get back! Just think of all the pictures I can take with my camera phone of hungry dirty homeless people!
I mean....
*cough* ummm NOT that that's why I'm volunteering my precious time to these people. Of course I want to help them, show some love and compassion towards these street dwellers.
I do however have a few questions that I'd like to ask the Mission/Soup Kitchen staff once I get there. So I've put together a list of very important questions that I will be presenting to the staff leader once I enter the world of homelessness.
#1 Will I have to touch the homeless people?
#2 Will I be speaking to any crazy old people?
#3 Will there be hand sanitizer handy at all times or do I need to bring my own?
#4 What if I get the HIV while serving mashed potatoes?
#5 Can I wear rubber gloves when greeting our guests?
#6 Am I allowed to take some of the food home with me?
#7 Will there be names drawn for prizes throughout the night and may I participate?
#8 Is it alright if I bring some vodka and orange juice for myself?
#9 Will I be getting a 15 minute break at some point during the evening?
#10 Will I be expected to stick around after to help clean up or will the honeless people be doing that?Alright, enough crazy talk! In all seriousness people, I am very honored and humbled to have the opportunity to help and serve people during the Holidays.
This is honestly something that I've wanted to do for a very long time and I hope that I'll be able to make some people smile and give a little hope on Thursday. I'll let you know how it goes!
Listen everyone, be safe and have a great Thanksgiving!
