I'm going camping this weekend at the trailer with a big group of friends. I'm really looking forward to it. but I'm kind of nervous at the same time....the last time I was there, I was alone, packing up my campsite, just after Sean and I broke up. I cried for about 7 hours while I took everything down, took apart a bbq, moved a canoe, etc. etc. It was very sad.
A lot of his belongings are still there, I'm kind of nervous about going, because I think it's going to bring up a lot of really great memories that Sean and I shared together last summer. Namely our 10 day summer vacation at the trailer, where we woke up when we wanted, spent entire days canoeing and fishing together, took naps together on the hammock, spent hours staring up at the sky to see who could see the first shooting star, made fun of the toads and frogs croaking all night... and the list goes on. I don't have sad moments about the break up anymore, but I think this one's going to be tough, especially since I am camping with 5 couples and I will be missing my plus one!

Blast from the past!
While I was in New Brunswick I went to visit my ex's parents (from when I was 15-19 years old, - Bill and Donna,) at their house in Burton. Before showing up I knew Geoff (the ex), his wife and child were going to be there. Not only them, but Geoff's sister, brother and his children as well as Geoff's Grand mother were going to be there too!
Geoff and I lived together for a year after my family and I moved to Kingston. I broke up with him and moved to Ottawa in the summer of 1999. Geoff met his wife in Kingston and after a while they moved to New Brunswick.
Back to the story. It was kind of awkward going there while the whole family was there, but it was the only day I could make it out for a visit. It was great to see Geoff again after about 8 years. He gave me a hug when I came in and asked how I was doing, all I could spit out was good. I'm doing good. Meanwhile in my head I'm thinking my life is pretty messed up at this point!
His wife seems nice and their little boy David is super cute. I wish I could go back in time because I would have liked to actually have a conversation with Geoff, minus my awkwardness. I wasn't able to carry a conversation with him, my answers were very brief, I didn't know what to say, or how to say it. This doesn't usually happen to me, well, not in a very long time anyways.
A lot of feelings and memories came up being in that house and around the Mulholland family. It still felt like home even though there have been renovations done, and so much time has passed.
It's strange to think that Bill and Donna have known me for half of my entire life, they still consider me part of their family, and will always call me Ernie!

Chippy!
It's funny cause when I saw this picture I said to myself, "Sheesh, I hope Chippy's around again this summer." I'm not the only one hoping he's around, Amanda's rootin' for the return of the ol' chipster!
I know he will be there, he had way too much fun harassing me and my friends last year!

Dear Haley,
Well now this song couldn't be more perfect, it's a song I've been listening to for many many months and is I've always loved it, just the "you're on you're own again" part really reminded me of what's going on......then when I was flying to NB I thought, "you're on your own again" RIGHT!!!!! I'ts one of the songs I listened to over and over on my flight and while I was in NB I made Haley listen to it quite a few times whether she knew it or not, and it was just cause I really liked the song. Then on my flight home, I listenend to it a few more times and I actually listened to all of the lyrics rather than the "You're on your own again" part. And it actually is PERFECT for me and I think her too. Or us. And I even have the tattoos to prove it. haha!
In the end - the stills
Dream, chasing
You followed the sun across
Mountains and oceans and cities
And small towns
Stopped in, some place
They're glad they've met you
Their hearts are now with you
In joy, and pain
Young and plain
Young and plain
Young and plain
It's your day
You're on your own again
Pause for a photograph
You're so good looking
You'll turn all the men into boys
But just don't get married
Think of resting
I'm glad I've met you
My heart is now with you in joy
And pain
This week with you was the funnest ever. I wish our gatherings occured more than just once a year. But I am very grateful that we have just that. We have somehow managed to see eachother once a year even though we live over a thousand km's away. Wicked. I think about all of the things we have been through over the years and it amazes me. It's really been a lot, nothing to do with our friendship, that's always been solid, but as inidviduals, we've had so many happy and sad converstions, it's been a lot. I love the fact that we've always been there for one another, whether it's random freaking out phone calls at 3am crying, or hug fests on my balcony, or balloon fests on my balcony, we've shared the happiest and saddest moments that anyone could ever experience. You are my favorite. Just talking to you makes me super happy and kicks me out of the worst moods ever. I think you are the greatest person ever and I think you deserve tons of goodness in your life.

Being an even bigger geek at the Oromocto mall!
Alien transport gangsta style!
I tried to put Haley up for sale on the community board at the mall. She dissaproved but at least posed for a picture :)
Hee hee hee, that's her "for sale sign"
Well, not only is she pretty, she does sudoku too. Very poorly I must say, I think I saw more scribbled out puzzles than completed ones......she still gets an 'A' for Effort though. She tries hard :) aha haley!
Yup. I left her. And I went far away. Back to Toronto! But for the record, NOT cause I wanted to. I wanted to stay. Forever!
Kinda makes me think of you lady!!!

Fish & chips and beer, oh my!
Yesterday while Haley worked I went to a friends house and hung out with her and her kids. I left her place to walk downtown and hang out until haley was done work. I went to a pub and had some lunch, fish and chips, mmmm fresh haddock!!! I ordered a pint of beer called Pumphouse Speacial old bitter, brewed in Moncton, N.B. It was sick. Did not enjoy it at all. I thought I might like it, but I was wrong. I had to force it down with my fish and chips! At least the fish and chips were wickedly awesome.

The day I hit the coast!
Tomorrow I am flying to St. John, New Brunswick.
My best friend Haley will be picking me up at the St. John airport.
We will then head to Oromocto. I lived there from when I was 12-17 years old. I am going to attend my high school reunion. I sorta wonder why I'm going, cause I didn't really talk to many of the people who will be attending the reunion. I have a few friends who are going, it will be great to see them! I am so excited to see Haley though! She has been living in Victoria for the past year and just moved back to NB about 2 weeks ago.
I will be sure to take tons of pictures, and do some fun and exciting stuff. Hopefully once this vacation is over, I will feel totally relaxed and get back to blogging. I'm hoping to start writing some interesting stuff rather than just about my outings in Toronto.
à la prochaine!

Shopping carts can be fun!
So friday night Mayssan and I went out on Queen street, it was a pretty fun night, ended up pushing mayssan in this shopping cart, then went over a curb and she jumped out and the cart fell over. Then I decided to lay on it......I dunno! Then some nice boys came over and helped us pick up the cart. So we drank beer with them.
What the???
So saturday night Mayssan and I went out for an adventure on queen street, here are some fun pics!
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
DOUBLE uhhhhhhhh!
Hey look what we found in the park, looks like someone was doing a little 'drinkin'!
Just trying to blend in with the trees!
Decided to lay on the grass for a break!
Hey where's Mayssan? Oh there she is, hiding under the tree!

Doves
Stereophonics
Blur
Life on Mars
Kinobe
Goldfrapp
Grove Armada
The Chemical Brothers
Lemon Jelly

and more!
Now if this doesn't sound like the best sort of Ambient compilation, then you can go fuck yourself!
Here are the lyrics.....
Tijuana lady - Gomez
Take me down to where you hide
Lay me down, lay me down inside
What use now, hold back this pacific tide
Tijuana lady where did you goI been chasin you around old mehico

Baby whered you hide
Take me down to where you hide
Play me around, leave me all your sadness
Make no sound, cos I know you'll lie

I know that I'm no head honcho
I'll keep you warm in my silky poncho

Dealing with Boredom.
I feel a bit bored these days. (Except this past week that I spent in Ottawa, Mos. Def. not boring) So I found this little piece of advice, which I am going to try out the next time I'm bored!
