The Past Two Days

Well, one and a half.
But it feels longer.
Yesterday evening I was hanging out at my house by myself working on some quilts I'm making when I suddenly thought of my friend Glenda who I hadn't really seen in a while. And I thought hey, why don't I juss call her up and see if she can hang out.
So I did, and she could, so I went and picked her up and we went to Timmies at about...7 ish. We sat and chatted. Then we went to the park and chatted. Then we went to McDonalds and chatted. Then we walked and chatted. Then we went to the Price Chopper parking lot and chatted. Then at about midnight we went home.
It felt good to talk to Glenda again, like we used to when we were kids, sitting on her bed for hours and hours talking about anything and everything and then anything again. It's the weirdest thing, because even though we come from extremely different backgrounds, we think a lot the same way, and we can relate to each other really well.
And I know that I usually complain about the fact that I was sent to a mennonite school for 3 years and that I hated it, but I should stop that. The fact that I've made a friend for life through that freak expreience makes it worthwhile.

Anyhow, tonight was fun also. $50 worth of fireworks and some crazy friends: priceless.
I love the feeling of laughing so hard I think I might pee or pass out from lack of air.
I love the feeling of being with people who don't expect me to be the respoinsible one.
I don't love the feeling of the burn on my thumb. Oochie.

Rain, Steak, and Dreadlocks

So I had the time of my life camping
Getting to spend a whole weekend with my friend Amalie without having to worry about work or school or my mother was a luxury.
The food was unbelievable. We cooked everything over an open fire made of cedar wood, so it was awesome.
We hiked around Elora Gorge and wallowed in the mud and got completely filthy.
We got strangely high off of mosquito coils and played a strange game of Settlers of Catan.
We whined about Colgate and the Criminal and obsessed about our dear Smart Friend who will be gone for the next month.
We invited the Criminal, Porky, and The Overly Nice One up for an evening.
We slept in a minivan
We made the awesomest campfire of all time
We annoyed the people accross the street with a burping contest and screaming.
In other words, I'm so glad I didn't g to prom! Hah! Why get dressed up for one night when you can wallow in puddles for two?
So I am very pleased with the whole weekend, even though it rained, and now Amalie is gonna get dreadlocks. And I'm not as worried about school in the fall. I feel so bubbly right now, like ginger ale

Just a post

I just feel like blogging, no specific idea in place
I've had a good day so far.
Not like wild crazy fun like some of my previous days, but more wholesome. Like that awesome County Harvest Sunflower Flax bread.
I may actually be going camping! Remains to be seen.
I found out that I will be working day shifts full time starting Tuesday.
I was listening to the song "Mix Tape" by Brand New. I've liked this song ever since I discovered it on my computer a few month back. I feel oddly connected to it. It reminds me of someone, and I don't know who. I think it recalls to me the feeling of suburban complacency. I feel angry towards SUV-driving soccer moms and those tiny lots with massive houses and those immaculately groomed little places that have no room for nature. God forbid that anything living like a stray dog, a grubby kid, or a new thought should penetrate their joyous routine. Wake, Work, Smile, Sleep. And do not think a thing.
The rain is pouring right now.
Rain like this is really alive, I think. It always makes me happy to know that some suburban soccer mom has had her plans perforated but nature. Lady, you can control your SUV, your child, your beautiful lawn and house and IKEA furniture, but in you vx nature, nature will win.

But oh! those summer nights!

yah, I'm loving this summer so far. *knock on wood*.
Hung out with the guys tonight, had a jolly time watching "A knight's Tale" and going for a walk. Just hanging out.
Almost had to castrate my one buddy for repeated smacking of my butt. Anger
And the brother is actually going for the BSC, thus rage. But I suppose I've got to come to terms with it and make an attempt at liking her.
Anyway, tonight was good, CAMPING IN 12 HOURS!

Summer is for happiness

So I woke up today on my first official day of summer holidays. My first day of my last summer before university.
And today rocked, and it's only 5:13. I read for most of the morning. I mostly am completely oblivious to the world when I read, but I was roused from my dormancy by the sound of voices outside my living room window. I looked outside and found Awesome Hott Guy and this other guy outside my window. They work for my dad and were doing lawncutting and so forth at my house today. So from about 11 am to 3 pm there was Awesome Hott Guy without a shirt at my house. This guy can also occasionally be found cutting the grass at Price Chopper. Whenever there is a white landscaping trailer and pickup about, one should keep an eye out for him,. because he is sensational. He used to have dread, but he cut them and now has shortish delightfully curly hair.
I know I'm rambling, but he's really cool. He also has personality and musicalness, so I plan to somehow date him.
In other news, I'M GOING CAMPING TOMORROW!!!! I'm really excited because I've gotten cabin fever from being around my family too much this week.
And I believe I'm going out with the guys tonight. Life makes me smile.
