Road trippin'

ALRIGHT GET OFF MY BACK, THE FAN EXPO STUFF WILL BE UP SOON. IT'S COOL, AND MAYBE WORTH THE WAIT.

"Yo Gabe, wake up tomorrow, we're picking you up to go to the farm"
"Faaaaaaaack"
"Evan'll pay your expenses"
"Sick, I'll be up at 11:00"

Srsly though, as Andrew found out, the cottage up there is pretty damn amazing. As a fun little expedition, we took some bikes to explore the property, and that took a while. Unfortunately, the seat on my bike was rather low, so, uh, well, it was a pain to bike, because I got almost no power from pedaling. When we returned to the actual cottage house, I got to be in charge of making four boxes of KD in this giant pot, and we pigged out. And we had some other stuff which, of course, added to the party nature of this entire trip.

Truth be told, we were on the road more than we slept. But hell, my iPod had enough juice in it to blast some Nightwish and some older classics for most of the trip, and we took a scenic route to get up there, so we didn't care about all the driving we did.

Some other stuff at Evan's cottage that just made it awesome:

• Oldschool N64 with a ton of games
• Big firepit outside to burn and make stuff explode
• Lots of spiders (okay, maybe not as nice), and these aren't regular spiders, in the winter, they cocoon themselves in the basement in some white stuff. Cool right?
• Absolute freedom to do whatever the hell we wanted

Yep, a perfectly normal and good end to summer...

Fan Expo

Pictures, info, summary to come very soon!

General Grievous(sp?) is so damn cool.

Audiolog #2

That's right folks, another failure of a vlog!

This time, no script, just a pure and true audiolog for you!

Since there is no script, you'll find I speak more casually, that there are a lot more pauses, mistakes, and "ummms".

If you hate my life, don't listen.

(:

Skippy skippy

Off I skip to the Hawt and Spicy Harbourfront festival!

Why?

Hell, I'd rather be here than locked away in my house with the parental unit!

And I'll go shopping too, I have so many things to buy for Katimavik!

And then tomorrow maybe I'll go to the Kensington market, because it's sunday!

Have a good Caturday, readeries!

Happy Birthday Linus

Don't you love point form? How about point-formed sentences?

• Explosions occured one night, I actually went to investigate. Preliminary theories included:
• "OMG we're under fire from alienz"
• "OMG gangs are taking over the city"
• "OMG the U.S. is bombing us for maple syrup" (okay, this one is an exaggeration)
• There's someone walking in the attic
• Thunder (but no rain nor clouds?!)
• Buildings asploding

• Things we did
• Hid in the basement with sticks
• Timidly took a look outside
• Boldly took steps outside
• Walked towards the sound, took about 45 minutes to get suitable spot to see black smoke billowing from some distant building
• Returned home to google the asplosions, OMG propane factory blows up!

Okay, so that was a few days ago, and I was at a friend's house at 4 am.

• Eighteen
• Happy birthday, Gabe
• I slept through most of my day
• Lived through the night
• Some wishes came true
• Some probably won't
• I know I shouldn't feel giddy for seeing "you have... 32 new messages", but it felt kinda cool
• All you readers out there should post ideas as to what I should do now that I'm eighteen. So many times I've thought "damn, wish I was eighteen", and here's the time, and I've got nothing.

My sleep schedule is still bad.

Tomorrow (today), I think I'll go downtown to the Hot and Spicy festival.
I'm saddened by the fact that I thought I would get the house to myself for the weekend, but turns out one of my parental units is staying. God. Effing. Damnit. No, I didn't want to throw any parties or anything, it's so much nicer being alone though. I will try and be out of the house as much as possible, as I cannot stand it with that parental unit around.

Happy birthday.

Good Morning (again?)

A most peculiar thing today.

I go to bed at six am (which is, in fact, early in comparison to other days that I dare not mention again. They are like a black spot on my calendar, they're gone from existence, as I slept almost entirely through those days), and somehow wake up at nine am, feeling not too tired. Looking at the sun shining through my window, my internal clock somehow estimates the time to be 2-3 p.m. So I decide to get out of bed, take my shower, and just go downstairs, a normal routine, what.

As I step into the kitchen, the reality of time hits me like a ping-pong ball to the forehead (APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD, PING PONG BALL APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD). And suddenly, I feel very, very tired.

So I go back up to my room, and collapse into my bed, only to wake up at five p.m. from a phonecall.

Some would argue that it's because of my shitty sleep schedule that I fail to grasp time correctly, others would think my body was determined to get up really early, and that I should pay attention to this. Maybe If I had stayed up, and gone on the computer at the time I first woke up, and pressed F11, my crush's name would have popped up on the screen! ZOMG!

Me? I say, the day breaks, the mind aches.

Good Morning

And a good night to those of you sleeping at this hour.

As for myself, I'm alright, save one important thing.

I've fallen back to the vice that has plagued my previous summers: addictive computer games.

I've been spending hours playing Diablo 2, instead of doing normal summerly activities such as frolicking around in the ravine and so on. Why? Maybe out of sheer boredom, out of loneliness. I haven't gone out in the night like I did so often in weeks. Instead, I stay locked inside and rot away. But hey, guess what? After I'm done this post, I'll probably go back and continue levelling my level 71 barbarian. And then go to bed, sleep till four, and rinse and repeat, with some virtual school work (which I have been neglecting because of my newfound hobby).

Pathetic, right?

Hey, at least I'm past the denial step.

My departure is looming on the horizon, but I find that I'm not as scared of leaving town anymore. After all, I'm currently not doing much anyway. But I think I'll miss not having the freedom of frolicking in the city for whatever, and I really should take advantage of my last month and a half of being around people I know.

Hey hey, my my.
