This weekend was the reunion I mentioned here. Hah, it was.. interesting. I actually had a pretty fantastic time, (save my horrendous red wine hangover yesterday). I have definitely had my fill of highschool reunions now though.. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to handle mine next year.. :/

I never did get around to posting the pictures from my 27th birthday a few weeks back (hey! remember my 26th?). Cheena was amazing and basically planned a whole Fondue party for me <3 - we had vegan chocolate fondue & a very un-vegan cream cheese/cream & herb creation... mmm... Nigel & I remembered early in the night that we still had two bottles of Absinthe from our trip to Barcelona in 2007 and everyone managed to polish off most of it by the time we left for the bar.. it made for some very drunken friends..
( champagne & absinthe.. )

| Fraggle Rock |
[29 Sep 2008|09:12am] |
So, Los Angeles. I don't know why I don't feel like updating about L.A., I think maybe it's just that there's too much to say about the trip and I've already told all my 'good' stories to everyone. It was fantastic though, regardless. I went to Rony's art show, swam at Huntington Beach with Lauren, lived in Eagle Rock, had a fancy dinner, was checked for weapons at the USC Medical Center, met a ton of people, visited the American Apparel HQ, drove to Joshua Tree and finally saw the Mojave Desert (and picked up a pair of $4 cowboy boots!), discovered the Salton Sea - which blew my mind, I have a ton of photos from this place but none of them have been developed yet (seriously read the wiki on it, it's crazy!), I stayed up until 4:30am every night and tried to figure out my future, listened to records with Rony, Saw Gino & his duck & chicken and finally, finally made it back to Vancouver..
( with love.. )

| Fake Birthday - Real Twinz! |
[16 Sep 2008|08:58am] |
Saturday was Coral & Darcy's wine & cheese birthday celebration extravaganza! It was SUCH a ladies night (poor Nigel), Cheena stopped by my place fairly early for hangouts, then Amanda & Keri came over to get dressed, then Bri - then we piled into Nigel's car and headed for the west end...
( twenty somethings.. mostly. )

Good Morning!
Today was the first day this fall that I've had to wake up in the dark for work. It was very.. confusing. You know that feeling where you're not sure if you woke up on your own and it's actually 3:00am and the whole shutting off the alarm thing was just a dream? That's totally what this morning was like. Hello fall '08.
This past weekend felt like summer all over again, all rolled into two days. I went to dinner with Dustin, a comedy show, Library Square for 90's night, I rode my bike all over the city, spent a morning photoshopping, an afternoon in the park drinking Strong Bow with Garret, Dustin, Jordan, Jake & Co., Coral & Darcy's wine & cheese birthday celebrations with EVERYONE (epic car rides there & back), breakfast with Nigel, Jordan & Darcy, then four square in McLean park for the rest of Sunday until haircut time with Tanis and a nice dinner at home with Nigel. Gossip Girl was on and I literally passed out from happy exhaustion around ten last night. Every weekend should be like this weekend.
( photos from the last few weeks... )
There are so many good things coming up this week too - Cherry & Matt hangouts today, lunch with Sacha tomorrow afternoon, L.A. on Wednesday! (art show Thursday, dancing Friday! etc. etc.) Ginks & Bella get shaved Saturday morning and I'll be home Sunday night with more pictures and hopefully a good story or two. ♥ ♥ ♥

[27 Aug 2008|10:04am] |
I took last Friday off work to go camping with: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) smokes_outside, darcymercer, rowdyllama, coralcoralcoral, fakesharkstore, codycallon, mikesleckyesq, KC!, Joe & Marina!
The whole trip could probably be summed up with the words: FOUR SQUARE!, A WHOLE LOT OF FOOD!, SCOOBY SNACKS!, PHOSPHORESCENCE! and CAMPFIRES!

| Finishing July. |
[27 Jul 2008|12:15pm] |
I've had a really, really nice few days.
Last Tuesday Amanda came by for one final afternoon on the fire escape before I move and she headed off on her week long vacation in Portland. I bought a bottle of white and we grabbed the camera and computer and sat outside in the sun the last few hours of the evening.. it was lovely ♥.
( girl talk.. )
Wednesday was the first night of the fireworks and coincidentally it was also poker night at Darcy & Jordans.. who happen to have a really sweet deck with a pretty sweet view of the whole thing. Nigel stopped by after work, I won $8 and watched Canada compete for .. what exactly? Does anyone know what they actually win?..
( explosions in the sky.. )
Two days ago Lindsay & I met up after work and had some terrific sangria at la bodega on Howe (@ Drake) - sort of expensive but the next time we can't figure out where to go and don't mind splurging a bit, I definitely recommend it. They had the very best peach/vanilla/brandy ice cream too... mmmm...
We stayed a few hours then headed back to her house with that Grey Goose that I STILL haven't finished for some much needed quality time. I wish I'd managed to go out with her & JHames, but it's just not in me these days.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last night was the second night of the fireworks. Basil, one of the people I work for, invited us to his house (like last year) to watch and ooomg, it didn't disappoint..
( the good life.. )

July 5, 2008
Our second morning in Ashland. We all got up surprisingly early and lazed around for a while. I finally decided to throw on my bathing suit and get outside to lay around the pool instead of my uncomfortable cot. Coral & Darcy eventually joined me, leaving the boys to finish watching Punked until we all got hungry..
We spent the rest of the day riding up a mountain with Marshall, Risa, Trevor & their friends to the faerie ponds to swim (sit) - we picnic'd, we returned the bottles from the day before and bought a kick ball, we bbq'd more, drank more, did more biking, went bar hopping in downtown Ashland, skinny dipped in a pool none of us owned, hunted for grease for a grease run car, and finally (FINALLY) made it home for 4:00am - just in time to close our eyes before we were on the road again, headed back to ( Canada-Land. )

I've been back for four days and I'm already counting down the nights until we get to go back. The July 4th long weekend in Ashland was a dream. Actually, my whole ten days off was pretty fantastic.
Malcolm, Coral, Darcy & Jordan picked me up at my place at 5:00am last Thursday morning. I don't think I've ever managed to get going that early on a road trip before, much less with four other people all trying to get their shit together on time. It was perfect. ( Starbucks hadn't even opened yet.. )
