Hey I fixed it!

So my random post fixed it! Yay me! Anyway I am off to a movie with Angus.

What the heck is with this gap?

So I'm trying to figure out what is with this gap I've got going on above my Montreal post. I'm hoping that just typing will fix it.

Montreal, a summation.

So this post got lost somewhere, I have managed to resurect it, it may be a little changed though. OH! Something I just remembered. Aurora has concerts in the park. The Black Board Blues Band is the star of one!

I aware that I haven't posted about Montreal, but what follows is a glorius summation of my experience.

Friday night we drove out to the airport. My Dad took pictures of everything. Photos of me on the moving sidewalk, photos of me walking the opposite way on the moving sidewalk. Securtiy was fast, things that would have made it faster:1. Me not wearing a belt with a metal buckle.2. My Dad not wearing cargo pants.In the terminal I saw a Watermark bookstore that was so beautiful. Waterfalls built into the walls, clean lighting, so many books. But those books weren't 5 for a dollar. Oh no they were not.
I ate pizza for dinner, from a place like Miss. Vannelis, where they have the pizza under the light then throw it in the oven after you order. Except they did not put this pizza in the oven. It was light warm. The bottom was a little doughy.

On the plane I got the winow seat, my Dad took many pictures. The takeoff was scary, I think my mom lost all feeling in her left hand. There were pretzles for snacks and drinks. They played that day's news as our inflight movie. The flight attendants were very nice. When my Dad told them it was my first flight I got to meet the pilots afterwards. They were also very nice. We flew up above the clouds, the sky was so blue, and it was so bright.

My cousin picked me up from my parent's hotel room. We drove to her place and she explained why my aunt hates her place. Her apartment is next to a piercing parlor, which is next to a tatoo parlour which is next to an 'adult video store'. Right across from my cousin's house is a goth store. But really, the piercing parlor and everything was high end. I bet all the rich kids in Montreal go to this tatoo parlor to get their navels pierced, it was classy.

Friday night we were going to go out but we were tired. One of my cousin's friends works at the best steakhouse in Montreal, he came over with steaks. We ate them and drank red wine. The steak was delicious, the red wine I did not finish.

The next morning we started our shopping spree. We walked pretty much everywhere, and went into any store that looked interesting. There was also a street sale and we walked that too.
In total I bought:
1. A white t-shirt
2. A blue t-shirt with buttons
3. A white halter top
4. A red sparkly halter for dancing and partaying in
5. A black fancy skirt
6. A blue skirt from American Apparel. You can see it here : http://www.americanapparelstore.com/rsa2301.html
7. White sandles (of death)
8. A bath bomb
9. Face mask stuff.
10. LipGlass
11. An eyeshadow stick
While I was in the dressing room of the store with the red shirt my cousin was handing me clothes to try on. From across the store my cousin said; "oooh this is slutty, you should try it on!" The whole store agreed. My shirt was ten dollars, they were having a promotional sale and apparently "all sparkly things are $10".
That night I had dinner at delicious restaurant. Then crepes, oh I was so full. We didn't go out that night either, a bunch of my cousin's friends came over and we sat around talking and drinking red wine. By the time we decided to go out half of us were asleep.
The Sunday morning we went to St. Viasomething for a bagle breakfast, Angus was right, they were delicious. We then went to Tam Tams. It's this party in a park that happens every Saturday morning. People, many people come to the park and play on bongos. Others dance, others watch. At the same time an elaborate sword fight occurs, with ducktape shields and plastic swords. None of this is controlled by anyone. There are no proffesional ring leaders for the drummers, they all just play. There was also a lot of pot. A person could get high just walking through the crowds.
We stopped by a museum but it was closing. We then met my parents for dinner. Then the flight home. I really enjoyed my stay in Montreal, apparently so did my luggage, so it didn't join us on our flight and stayed a little while longer. It arrived, with my Dad's suitcase, on the following Tuesday. My new halter top was worn shortly after.
That was my Montreal trip. Next entry will probably be about my trip to Mike's cottage.

oh my feet hurt

I am currently in Montreal. Just sitting for a minute. We walked EVERYWHERE. I went on what can only be described as a 'spree'. I am broke. Please no one remind me of all the money I have spent. I don't think anyone would believe how much money I am out, because I am usually quite a cheap-o person. No books though! Oh hell I spent a lot of money. Heather! I went to American Apparel!!! I bought a skirt. Oh I will find it online and perhaps link it here eventually. Oh what a good day. I will describe later all I bought. I may pass out though, at the thought of how much money I spent. Oh dear. All future outings with me must not involve money. Unless it involves people giving me money. OK so if anyone wants to hang out with me, we must do it while I am at work and getting paid. This rule will apply till oh, 5 years from now.

I am broke. But oh so happy

MONTREAL!!!! SOON

I leave today! YAY! Montreal! On an airplane! I will see my cousin! We will hang out and have fun. We will shop probably. And eat good food. Maybe find some of the bagels that Angus recommended. See the sights. MONTREAL! Yay.

Oh I hit a book sale today. Used books 25 cents, or 5 for a dollar. 15 books need to find a home in my room now.

I'm off for the weekend. I hope you all have fun.

oh so much

I have a lot to blog about. Cause I haven't blogged in awhile. But I may not finish, cause I may leave to go somewhere so this may stop mid entry.

I went on a picnic! I went with Angus. A bird pooped on me. But other than the bird poop the picnic was excellent. Cookies and hamburgers and stuff. And Blueberrys. Oh and slushies. Oh! Am I wrong, or should batteries be stored in the fridge?

The picnic took place in a park in Newmarket, and there was this eco fest going on at the time, playing nice music. It was all quite fun.

Saturday night I went to Randeep's BD BBQ. I had a lot of fun. It was great hanging out with them, because they're all quite nice and friendly. Very... wonderful people to hang out with. I've been invited to hang out more, I think I will.

Sunday Mike was home!!! Yay! We went for coffee, except neither of us consumed coffee during the entire time, even though we ended up in Pickering.

OK so there is more to blog about, but my head really hurts.

I am a little surburnt and BOOKS!

OK so I put sunscreen all over my self. Except for the part of my back over the top of my bathing suit. So that part of my back is pink, the rest of me is not that tan. It kinda hurts when I sit in the car. But the burn came from a nice day of lazyness, so I will accept my Lobster Girl status.

I finished Wicked. It was very detailed. I really reccommend it. I think it's a summer read though. It would be a little intense to read while studying in school.

I went to the library!!! First up is The Devil Wears Prada. Then I have a book by Dave Berry. Then Anywhere But Here. A book called Running With Scissors, an autobiography about a man who overcame a horrendus youth. And then a book by Maya Angelou. Daley recommended a book to me. I don't remember what it is though. So I couldn't take it out.

I wasn't going to read The Da Vinci Code, but then Jocelyn really recommended it, so it has been added to my summer reading list.

Last Saturday was wine night at our house. My parents invite friends over and each couple brings a bottle of wine. then it's a blind taste test, and you rank the bottles and you see who wins. Some of the wine is home made, and surprisingly the home made wines win usually. Jocelyn and I helped and then we drove them home. For me it was a lot of fun.

I AM GOING ON AN AIRPLANE!!!!!

I have never been on a plane before!! I am going to Montreal to visit my cousin and I am going to ride in a plane!!!

I got free shoes. My manager looked at my shoes. He said they were all worn out. I said that he shouldn't talk that way, because the shoes could hear him. Just because there were wholes in the shoes and they were covered in bleach and paint did not mean that they were all worn out. So my manager gave me new shoes from the stores foot wear section. Today was my first day with my new shoes. They were heavier than my old ones. Maybe because my old ones were so worn out they weren't really shoes anymore, just the idea of shoes. So I clomp around now. This will take some getting used to.

Beautiful Day

I had coffee with Shashi yesterday. Except neither of us had coffee. I drove there all by myself, and that was fun. I was late, which annoyed me. I don't want to be late, because I don't like it when other people are late. I loved talking with Shashi. And her passion for yearbook is especially fun to watch. That is why I want to find a club or something to be insanely passionate about.

I spent today lounging around in the sun. I also deposited money in the bank. But other than that it was book reading and sun loving. After spending the school year worrying about essays and due dates it was nice to spend the day worrying about my tan.

Jocelyn came over and we watched Back to the Future. Man that movie was fantastic. I also know some stuff about Michael J. Fox's life at that point because of reading his autobiography.

I work tomorrow, and Friday and Saturday and Sunday, probably Monday too. I will have lots and lots of money then.

I guess that is all to this glorius post.
