So I haven't updated in quite a while ... things've been busy. I dont remember if I posted about Kris or not before. But anyway, we're dating. And I'm super happy :) with that part of my life anyway
Not exaggerating in the least. No effing way. I love them. Completely and entirely.
Side note: Geoff and Tyler. Sorry if I came off as really bitchy/rude (probably 'cause I was lol) but I was drunk, and effing pumped for the show. Hope y'all had fun
Anyway, so I got to Brandon's house and waited for Matt to show up. I couldn't drink my beverage in his house obviously, so my insanely alcoholic mix was drank in the 20 minutes we spent on the Queensway.
Not going to make this long winded ... I swear ...
After the weird warm up group (Mars Volta?) got off stage ...
Gods appeared.
Honestly. Like. I'm getting chills right now thinking about it. They're so good. One of the few bands that aren't studio artists. They sound BETTER live.
Everything was such a high energy song. Even songs like Snow, and ESPECIALLY Under the Bridge. EVERYONE sang those. I was on my chair with the lighter going.
Leaving the Corel Centre, we had all our windows down blasting a Chili's album and yelling at everyone we drove past.
I need to see them again. I can't wait. And I want even BETTER tickets. These were awesome ... but if I could get front row one day ... I can't even think about how sweet that would be.
I say again. Best night of my life.
Thanks Brandon and Matt. And Adam for the ride.
♥ :)
PS: For those who're interested ... here's the set list from that night

Oh Jesus am I pumped or what?! WOOT
I think I'm going to GnR with Midget too :D
I'm going to Bramalea for YABA in October - DRINKFEST! I mean ... a serious bowling tournament lol. Well it's definitely both
No matter how shitty things are right now, I'm most certainly on an emotional high.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!
Have fun whatever y'all are doin tomorrow night. I'll be tanked on the Corel Centre floor soaking up the musical gods of Anthony, Flea, Chad, and John.
I am officially done my summer jobs. I've been aching for ... yesterday I guess for half of the summer.
The home gave me a goodbye card and stuff. Sandra hugged me, oh man that was scarring. lol. Anyway I'm glad to be out of there, although Mrs. Anderson was nowhere to be seen on my last day ... shame :(
T-Mor's last day was nothing special. Kat and I ordered pizza, and I got my vacation pay. That's it.
Man I was so glad to be done.
Last night, Meagan, Sarah and I went to see Accepted. Fuckin' hilarious. Everything I thought it would be and more.
Dunno what I'm going to do tonight. Maybe I'll just sleep the day (and night) away. Oh that would be nice.
Today ... my first whole day off ... and I'm bored. Yeehaw!
- Katie and Meagan are home, after an agonizingly long absence. They also survived the stupidness with the flights and the potential terrorist attacks
- Dan's cottage was fabulous. Saw a good 15 shooting stars, if not more. Lots of alcohol, fizzbee, 40 year old virgin, tubing, rocks, matching sweat pants, and a 2 am swim to top her all off. Thanks Dan and everyone else who went! I hope we'll do it again next year :)
- I paid my tuition this week. THAT made a dent. Ow. Thankfully I've stocked up on booze, so that won't really need to be an expense for the next little while. Although gas is killer.
- Handed in my "resignation" for Travel-Mor. They laughed at me! Apparently I'm the only one who's ever done the formal thing instead of just being like, "Yo Kim-bob, I'm done working as of Tuesday". lol. So Ya, my last shift at the home is the 30th, and my last at T-Mor is the 31st.
- I went bowling with Mike on Wednesday :) I missed him!! We played Merivale, and that was my first time playing with the new synthetic lanes. Oh man, this year is going to be an interesting adjustment! Anyway, I think we're going to play each Wednesday for the rest of the month (okay so for the next 2 Wed. Who cares! He's awesome!)
- YABA (Young Adult Bowlers Assoc) starts Sept. 11. SO EXCITED! Mike's going to put us on a team together, it's going to be a blast!
- I'm getting excited for school. Actually I'm not sure if I'm excited for school, or if I'm just more sick of summer. Who knows. I can't wait for fall either!
- The boy situation isn't much different than it has been all summer. *sigh*. Who knows where this'll go. Probably nowhere ...
Oh!
ANYONE LIVING IN THE SOUTH KEYS AREA, OR WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO A VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO A JOB ... AND IS LOOKING FOR A PART-TIME JOB FOR SCHOOL, LET ME KNOW! I HAVE TWO PLACES THAT I CAN RECOMMEND YOU AT, AND YOU'RE ALMOST A GUARANTEED HIRE!
Ya.
At the home now, so I'm going to fain productivity.
Katie's flight got canceled yesterday ... she's been stuck in Newark NY for over 24 hours.
Haven't heard from Meagan yet, so I guess she's flying today.
I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH, I WANT TO SEE YOU!!
Katie's plane is *supposed* to land in Ottawa at 10:10 this morning. And I have noo clue where Meagan is flying from. I thought I heard she had a stop-over in Texas ... but that was a long time ago. So there's not much chance of me finding out where the crap she is.
If I don't see you guys before I peace it to Dan's ...
Other than that ... most things are crappy. I am talking to a random guy from Stittsville though who goes to U of O ... maybe he'll change things around.
Doubt it.
Thing are stretching out so awkwardly and poorly that I've actually started praying again. For anyone who knows my religious stance ... that's huge for me.
*All I want is for you to be happy, take this moment and make you my family. Finally you have found someone perfect finally you have found ... yourself*
I forgot to post these quotes yesterday, but they're from a couple of the residents:
O - Old person R - Receptionist
O: Is it 3 o'clock? R: No, it's 10:15
That one just throws into strong relief how disoriented ones life becomes at that age. They rarely know what day of the week it is, and even when they think they do, they're about 3 days off. It's depressing.
Keep in mind though, that the resident who asked this question is one who constantly asks if he watch is at the right time (which it usually is) but she can't tell time. Yet she needs a watch?
and my favourite ... perhaps of all time working here. No that's a lie. Second favourite
O: I'm going for a walk outside R: Okay, stay close O: It's okay, I've got my hat *shows hat*
Buh?
And here's my FAVOURITE of ALL TIME.
*Mrs. Weldon is escorting her daughter out the door when she walked past the window into the nurses office, where she saw Mrs. Law having her blood pressure and medication taken*
"Oh, there's Helen, down to get her brain medication that doesn't work"
Soo good
Oh! And when I was posting stuff in the dining room last night, people were having tea. About 8 of them. What were they doing?
Telling dirty jokes to each other.
Amazing
***
Either going to a house party, or finally watching Reservoir Dogs tonight! :)
How many Queen's students does it take to change a light bulb? *** One, but it never really gets it done. He holds the bulb up and waits for the world to revolve around him.
How many Ryerson students does it take to change a light bulb? *** Trick question. Ryerson isn't a real university.
How many Lakehead students does it take to change a light bulb? *** None. Thunderbay doesn't have electricity.

How many Western students does it take to change a light bulb? *** Five. One to change the light bulb and four to find the perfect JCREW outfit to wear for the occasion.

How many Brock students does it take to change a light bulb? *** Seven. One to change the light bulb and 6 to throw a party just because. haha!

How many University of Manitoba students does it take to change a light bulb? *** There's a university in Manitoba?
How many York students does it take to change a light bulb? *** Hopefully just 1, because the other 49 999 are too destroyed to be changing light bulbs.
How many University of Ottawa students does it take to screw in a light bulb? *** One. She screws everything, why not a light bulb?
~*~*~*~
Okay, so I'm home from Alberta. Got home Wednesday night. The past few days have been nice without mom. She got home this afternoon around 4. I haven't seen her, I'm at work.
Saw a lot of cool stuff, and bought way too much stuff on top of that. I'll post the pictures once I get my laptop back. It's out to be fixed and apparently the part (which is like $160) will take another 2 weeks to come in. Good thing I got it done now instead of during the school year. It'll cost like $250 thought if I think about labour costs. Damn
Anyway! Going to either see some of the old crew, or Brandon tonight. Hopefully both though!
