Oktoberfest Parade, and a meme!
First, the meme swiped from sherryholt
Reply to this post and I'll give you 5 words that remind me of you, and you have to explain what they mean to you.
Sherry gave me the words Disney, travel, pumpkins, Gilbert and fun.
Disney: Gah, I love me some Disney movies! I have seen every animated Disney movie, and I love them all!! I can sing along with every song, and I know most of the words to nearly all of my favourites. They have never failed to bring me out of a bad mood, and I always feel like a kid again when I watch them. They are some of my favourite comfort movies!
Travel: I love, love, love traveling! If I could travel all the time, I would. I want to see new places, meet new people, try new food and have lots of adventures along the way! I love planes, boats, trains, and I want to see it all! I am so lucky to have been able to travel as much as I have, and I can't wait until me next trip...they make me feel so alive!
Pumpkins: Pumpkin carving is my favourite Halloween activity! If I could do it all year, I would! I love creating the patterns (or finding awesome ones!) I love that you take a pattern, which looks practically like nothing but random blobs, and when you're finished, it comes out looking amazing! I am always working on my technique, and I have some great plans for next year! I get all giddy thinking about it, and I usually contemplate my pumpkin patterns randomly throughout the year.
Gilbert: *Swoon* Gilbert Blythe is my favourite male character of any book. Ever. I know I make a big deal over Mr. Darcy, but he is second place to Gilbert! Gil is perfect, and lovely, and in book or movie form, he makes me all melty!
Fun: I am always up for a bit of fun! I feel sorry for people who don't know how to have fun, or enjoy life, and find the fun in things. What's the point if there's no fun in life? I love to laugh and play and act generally silly. And I always try to find the best in something. Not always easy, but once I do, it's easy to have fun again!
Today was the Oktoberfest Parade in Kitchener/Waterloo! It was so much fun! We almost caused a parade catastrophe with our antics! It was super funny. I enjoyed all of the bands, and most of the floats were pretty cool! So here I present some
Awful pic of me in my hat of awesome that my Grandma made! The feather is only an Oktoberfest accessory.
My sister, myself and our cousins
my cousin and I with turkey stickers on our cheeks
The inflatable Onkel Hans, who has trouble staying upright...too much beer?
Preston Scout House Band...they are amazing
pretty parade horses
Fergus Pipe Band
The all-important beer barrels!
One of the three best parts of the parade: The Singing Beer Steins!!!!!!
#2 of the three best parts: the mobile maypole!
And the other best part...the Shriners band...this is where the catastrophe happened...because of us. They have the awesome crash symbols, and my cousin and I always do the symbols motion along with them...well one of the band members saw us and started laughing...and stopped, so then the band members behind him crashed right into him...and there was moments of chaos. Oops. :D
And finally the lovely Cornucopia :)
There was lots more, but I didn't take pictures of everything lol :)
Hope you enjoyed!
Also, job interview tomorrow morning!! I'm actually pretty excited about it.
