i said "you don't even know"

Photobucket


if you had a little tiny camera that you hid in my homemade soup, and i swallowed it
(without accidentally chewing it up first, in the instance that perhaps it was amongst a chunk of vegetable that required a lil' mushing with my tongue or teeth)
and that camera made it down my throat and into my stomach, on your live action tv screen, you would find my stomach performing a dynamic gymnastics routine- full of back hand-springs, cartwheels, and maybe even one of those fancy colorful ribbon things, swirling and whirling, and full of excitement.

i can only assume that's what is going on down there right now, because it sure feels like it!

she said she was going home, i said i'd be fine by myself.

its funny how there are elements of your life which seem so pivotal, but you manage to forget the little parts.

like when i went to NYC in 2003 (wow....2003. that was 5 years ago and it feels like yesterday) i saw coheed and cambria at the knitting factory.

seriously??

thats crazy.

how did i forget?

maybe the other nights event's over-shadowed it (probably) or maybe i just chose to forget a lot about that 36 hours.

i remember losing my wallet in new jersey in butt-fuck no where and thinking i would never get back into canada.
but i did.
thankfully.

i remember before we got to the border.. i had the worst hangover/migraine of my life...and all i wanted was a baked potato from wendy's and ryan went in with cait, joie, adam, and katie while i stayed in the car. they ate, (ryan got a baked potato) and on the way out he tried to order me my potato and it turned out he had the last one.

they kept that secret for about a year. it was a silly accident but they kept that a secret for a year.


seriously? i remember THAT over coheed's set?


weird.

until recently i had forgotten that i saw saves the day in detroit.

i LOVE that band. so so much.



and i forgot.


but i remember fighting the night before....and giving kevin the worst haircut of his life on scott's porch that morning.

and tori wearing a bronte zoo crew shirt (the black one with the pumpkin) at the train station before we took the train to windsor together.

it cost me $11 because scottie ATMOI (current cancer bats) worked at the oakville via rail station. it cost kevin $51 because scott didn't know him.





think about how long an average person lives.

SOOO much happens in a lifetime.

and i feel like i could write a pretty juicy book already.
not that many would read it, judging from my blog comments.

BUT

the people who read this are the only real audience i would want anyways.

it's nice to be selective.

the best and the worst of the maritimes

Becky just came to visit!

10 days of fun and tourism!


i wish that everyone could love tourism and justify spending money on learning about history and nature and such. you pay so much for school, what's another ten to go to a museum?

although, word to the wise: wednesday's after 5 you can go to the museum of natural history for free! go! you will be amazed and so happy that you did! Rhiannon was meant to see this museum: canadiana history, mikmaq history, canadian wild life! it is honestly MADE for her.
(there is an extra push for a visit my love)

i had a lot of really treasured moments this past week which make me understand how much i love it here. i know i am supposed to be here. i feel at home. i am so glad all of the things i missed about halifax are still alive and kicking and make me feel alive and kicking.
