I'd like to say i've been doing amazing things over the past few weeks. Considering i havent posted in awhile, but really....nothing too exciting is happening. I had an amazing time in North Bay when i went to visit last month. It was great seeing friends, and all those lovely smiles. I didnt get to spend much time with anyone, except Couch really.....and im definitely not complaining. Its kind of strange, but Ive seen & hung out with Couch more times this year then i did when we lived together. Mind you, we only lived together for a month.....but its still weird. We've been friends for about 5 years now, but have never spent this much time together....its strange to think that after 5 years you're really getting to know someone. Shes amazing.
Couch ended up coming down again for the weekend and then extended her stay and joined me to go see Millencolin. I didnt stay at the show very long....even though i went through alot just to get in. Either way, we drank strong beer at Jeff's house before the show....and that was rad. we tried to have a chugging contest....neither of us won.
I have a weird nostalgic connection to FAXE beer. It brings back crazy memories of being a rebellous teenager, and though i often think i havent changed a bit since i was 17/18, Im glad im not that person anymore. I would never want to replace those memories though.
this is a photo of Sobrietys Rejects. It was their last show in North Bay, and they've played a major part of my life the past 6-7 years (as a band, but most of all as people). Im not really ashamed to say i've slept with 2/3's of that band either.....hahah amazing people. The night brought feelings of sadness (that they were breaking up) and yet i couldnt stop smiling. The energy in the room was incredible. I was surrounded by most of my favorite people, dancing, drinking, laughing.....it was hard to stay focused at times.
It was pretty incredible to see Jay & Josee again. They are such amazing people and continuously put smiles on faces when they walk into a room. <3
me, kimmy, josee & amber
I was finally able to go visit amber, see her new home and meet baby william!!!! This was a big moment for me. I have a few friends from highschool that have kids, and are married now, but we never really talk. My only other friend that started a family is Carleigh, but even then i wasnt really a part of any of it. I look back now and i really wish i could have been there for her, and for amber. Carleigh made it a bit harder (eloping & moving to ireland can do that i guess) but regardless im really excited for her & her new family to move back to canada, so i can meet their baby and try and be there for them now.
I only met Will the one time, but i seriously fucking love that kid. I wish i had tons of money to spoil my friends children, but all i can offer is a random visit once a year or so (if that) Growing up can suck balls.....but this kid rules. I bet Thurston beats Will up at least once!
I had a craving for ice cream cake the whole time i was in North Bay. So i ended up buying this one and shared it with my friends.....but i think mostly jade and I ate it. mmmm
I have no idea what ive been doing since my north bay trip. Im sort of a hermit, but the nice weather is getting me out more. I've been going to a fuck load of shows and i really dont even remember them....I've also been drinking a lot more than i would like to, but oh well. Dawna is coming to ottawa on tuesday, and then couch and some others are coming next weekend for the Weakerthans show, im pretty excited. I love the fact that Couch has been coming to shows in ottawa with me, and everytime she brings one of my favorite people with her <3
on another note, im so heart broken over things....and yet im so tired of being so hurt. Its been 6 months now, and still i cant fucking forget it. I wish they knew what they meant to me. I wish i could tell them without hyperventilating.
