These past couple of days were pretty awesome. Adam, (
sns) a friend I've known since grade school, but became super close with in the last years of High School, came over for a couple of days. He joined the army I don't really remember when....sometime within the past year ;) He graduated in January 2006. I'm very proud of this guy, as he came a long way from the tall akward but lovable geek. He's friggin' GI Joe now. Which, I imagine, should be pretty overwhelming. He's enjoying a 2 week leave from the army. He's currently posted in Shilo, Manitoba. So that means I will only ever see him a few times a year. I miss him already. So this is me wishing things were back the way they were 4-5 years ago. I even look back with longing at the days of Pat, Vince and Adam. My boys, how I miss them. Vince is in Toronto, Adam in Shilo, and Pat, well, he'll be on his merry way to Afganistan in a month. Even though I haven't spoken to him in over a year (he's my ex, we broke up 3 years ago) I care very much about him, and my thoughts are often with him. I realized today that I will care (not being in love) for him the rest of my life. I just have to deal with that bagage. All I hope is that the respect is mutual.
That being said, I had a great time with Adam. Even though he changed a lot physically, he's still the same ol' Adam that can make me laugh to the point of tears (and the silent laugh), a feat only he and my brother seem to achieve. We talked till the wee hours of the night on Wednesday(which gave me the opportunity to catch up on my knitting). On Thursday night, his fiancé, Caro (
bitchwitch) and our mutual friend, Mathieu, joined us for some yummy quesadillas and insane sundays. We then spent most of the night looking at funny videos on the internet, namely reportages of Borat from Kazakstan. Hilarious.
Here are some memos:
Adam's crazy huge army bag
Adam! (fixing his camera)

The boys watching Borat
Adam and me. I'm amazed at how fucking huge my mouth is. They joked that I can fit "penis size of Pepsi can" in there. (Borat joke lol) (BTW, that was me hitting him hard on the tummy)
