Saturday was pretty decent.Tasha and Tommy came down (sans Steve,he has mono) in the morning,then we hung out and watched RENT until Jake decided to shovel the driveway.Around 645 or so,we ventured to the Lickbo,then came home and waited.Randy had messaged me earlier about the craptastic weather in Mississauga,so he wasnt able to come down with Andrew.Way lame.Chuck couldnt come up from Clarkson/Toldeo either,so that was also pretty lame.Anju and Ryan braved the weather,kudos to them.Anju said it took her about a half hour to get to the house when it usually only takes 10-15.Ugh,I hate snow so much.
All ate pretty well an entire bag of chicken nuggets,had some drinks,and a bunch of laughs (Im going to miss those jokes most.I love how well all my friends mesh so well with others they barely even know,its sweet)
Anyhoo,we debated on if it was even worth it to go downtown.Anju went home,so it was just 5 of us,and so Ryan offered to drive.So Tasha and I got ready,and we left.Tommy gave me a piggyback from the parking garage to the Loop because it was snowy and I was wearing open-toe shoes.Got there way early,so we grabbed a table and watched people dance/80s cartoons on the wall.Did some dancing,even got Tommy and Jake to nod along to the music.Ran into Joe and Matt,then Jon and D'arcy.Talked to Rob Mallaby,who told Jake and I that it was "shot o'clock"?So yay,I suppose.Danced the Time Warp,heard some MIA and Great Big Sea..All the best music,good times,therefore a pretty rockin send-off.The people I care most about (save Randy) were there,so I couldnt have asked for anything better.Except maybe nicer weather.Seriously,I hate snow.
Sunday I packed,Tasha gave me a Tarot reading which she didnt really need to do- when I was shuffling the cards,one fell out.The way Tasha does her readings is that if a card falls out,it means something.That one said I didnt have any questions,I was happy,and therefore the point of a full-out reading was pretty well moot.Ah,we laughed.Dad took them to the train station so Jake and I could head out while the sun was still up.They left the driveway first because Jake needed to scrape the windows,then we left.Leaving the house,knowing I wouldnt see it/dad/Dave for a year...my chest went hollow again.
Its better today though,its like Im just going to Nova Scotia.Im not really looking 2 weeks from today,so everything is just fine.
Yep.
