If all of your friends jumped off of a bridge, would you?

Since the last update:
Graeme and I almost went long distance relationship...but then he decided to stop talking to me instead
I've been hanging out with "future husband Neal" a lot more ;)
and I started "working" in my dad's office.

I'm "babysitting" my cousins for the neext two weeks. They live in Markham. Really I'm jsut hte chauffer. It's alright. I'm super close to Toronto. I have plans to meet up with Sadie and Peter form my Katimvik group and then maybe a few from Experience England program I did. And Ashley too. I have to call/email her.

I left my house last Friday. I had to drive my sister to summer school. I was in Morrisburg. It's 45 minutes to Brockville. I woke up at 6:30 and realised I hswould just pack my shit because Brockville is on the way to Toronto. I was supposed to get a hold of my friend Holly (Ranger buddy form 2 years ago!) to visit her in peterborough on the way. I didn't actually set any plans with her. I only knew she was at a day camp in Lakefield.

So I drop my sister off. ANd I get to Kingston in less than an hour. I call my Grandma. She took me out for lunch. Good thing, too, because I only had $40 and otherwise my account was empty. We had to stop in to the hospital where she volunteers. And I ran into one of my supervisors from when I was at Rangers. We chatted a bit. It was super cool to run into her just like that.

I left Kingston at about 1:30, and I promptly got stuck in traffic. When I say traffic I mean that the 401 west bound was actually a parking lot!!! I was parked for 4 hours. Finally got driving again at about 5:30. I made my way up to highway 7. And stopped at the turn off to Lakefield, jsut before the city of Peterborough. I call the # for Holly's camp. It doesnt' work. So I try looking up camps in Lakefield in the yellowpages. I find one called Hope Valley Day Camp. So I take off in search of this camp. which I'm not even sure she works at. And I get there. ANd it's not the right camp but the two ladies who were just leaving the camp started a mission to find my friend for me. We drove around until jsut before the sunset. And finally pulled into the rihgt camp.

Then I had to do a little mini hunt for Holly within the camp with a few staff helping me. I find her, we hug, we set off into the dark looking for peterborough. We got uber lost... dead end..mine. Got to her dad's appartment at like 11 pm. We went for a late night walk. Didn't sleep until 3 or 4 am.

She woke me up at 9 the next morning. We went to breakfast with 2 of Holly's friends. Then played ont he floating staircase! Swam in the river. loitered. Alll day. It was fun.

Later that evening we were waiting for this girl to call us, because it was her birthday. And she was supposed to call at 5:30. We were waiting to dine with her. She didnt' call until 8:30. She already ate. She was gonna meet us where we ate. We ate at the vegetarian co-op, called Grass Roots. We get to the GrassRoots. Their fridge is brokent hey have no food, and there is a show tonight so there is a $5 cover. I look to see who is playing and to my surprise it is the ARCHITECTS!!!! What a coincident.

Holly and I ate somewhere else. Then we went back to Grassroots t meet he friend who showed up late, again. So we ditched her. Styayed for the show!

In the middle of the show Trevor, the singer of the band looks at me and points at me and yells "DAY CAMP!, DAY CAMP!" into the microphone...in the middle of a song! Between the songs he tells me and the other 10 people in the audience that he had been staring at me all ngiht because I looked familiar... because we had, yes, gone to day camp together back in the day....and then we went to the same highschool, too.

After the show Holly was talking to the ditched Birthday Girl. And I was taling to Trevor. He invited us to come hang out after the show. "THey had beer in a friedge at some grils house." we climb int he van with them and go to the girls house. And we all walk down to the river... they were all drinking beer. And Trevor starts talking about how he wants to go swimming. Other share this htought. Holly and I tell them that we could swim in the river. and There was a bridge you could jump off of too! After a reallylong time of trying to decide what to do... they all cop out.. and Holly say good night and tell them we are goign to seim anyways... Trevor decides to come along.

So Trevor, Holly and I are standing on the railway bridge in downtown Peterborough at 1:30am. I really want to. Trevor starts to chicken out. I take off my blouse and shoes (I'm still wearing a tank top). then the rest of the band and a few other girls show up. Trevor says he doesn't want to be wet..wah.. eh's tryign to cop out.

Next hting I know Holly jsut rips off her pants! and moves to the edge... SO I follow suite. I'm in a thong! and a tank top.. that's it! The band boys are all "omg now theyr'e striping..." so then she looks at me and says "count of three?".

And we jump. I screamed...but it was really fun. ANd so we climb out to do it again...hoping that one of the band boys will join...it was thier idea originally. They dint' join in.

They were all a bunch of pussies. I really lost respect for the oh so sexy Blaire Hogan and the so wild and crazy Trevor. And the rest of them too! Silly boys!

SO now I'm sure there are wild rumours about me flying around Kanata!... "That crazy girl from Kanata who was at their show in peterborough got naked and jumped off a bridge or something"
I can't wait for people to hear this one!
Oh yah...adn I realised later that night that my thong and tank were completely see-through when wet!
I am so cool!
