missing the west coast =(
Just finally started to get in the groove again a couple days ago, after my big trip from out west. I forgot how much I loved the west coast (Vancouver/Seattle) LA is too hot and the people there are generally not too friendly or fake. I was actually kinda hesitant of going out there, as i didn't know what to expect. My last trip was kinda underwhelming, as that trip was sort of a forced trip, as I didn't want to leave my groove at the time (partying 7 nights a week, no joke) and all my crazy ass perma drunks friends....lol...i still had a great time last time, but it was more to visit my family who all ironically were visiting Toronto at the time i was going to be in Vancouver.
But right when I arrived in Vancouver everything I loved about it (the mountains, the fresh air (which by the way made me a crazy ass chain smoker - the air was too clean i could still actually breathe after having a smoke, i would go ahead and light another one =P) just came rushing back to me. I guess it helped that two of my best friends now live in Vancouver, and I didn't even get a chance to meet with all my friends who relocated to Vancouver from TDot.
so here are some of the highlights from my trip
- went to cactus club cafe at least 15 times
- got a walking tour of hastings/eastside inadvertantly...i know my way around there, and i still didn't realize i was in crackville
- taking an uber-hungover friend over the border into seattle
- did i mention cheesecake factory in seattle
- all the foood, since i love brekky i had waaay too many eggs this trip
- one final night at brandi's with my best bud before his big night, and the final dance of the night which we got for him (i heart kylie summer) hehe
- stealing a bottle of crown special reserve for our table and drinking it all over dinner hehe
- being told i grinded with my best bud's mom on the dance floor (yikes)
- and seeing my friend sabrina utterly drunk for the first time, i have the bruises to prove she really is a crazy drunk
- finding my beloved nestea raspberry (which is not available in ontario anymore)
- meeting some really cool, amazing people who i will never forget
I think what it boils down to is i guess i'm still really wanting to get out of Toronto lately. I feel like my life is just too predictable and boring here, and it's always the same work crazy hours during the week, and the only activities for the weekend involve clubbing or something of that sort. I still really want to move to NYC, Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, etc etc you get the drift. I guess it's only work that's keeping me back here right now. I guess this is what it feels like to be in the real world...lol. I miss all the crazy stuff I did during school, and all the unpredictable stuff I did. Going to Vancouver made me realize how carefree I used to be, how much I used to live life to its fullest. Or maybe it's just the dreaded quarter-life crisis hitting me...(haha...at 20 I vowed that it wouldn't happen to me). I've been starting to question where i want to be in 10 years, what i've accomplished etc etc. I need to find that book soon. lol
Maybe I just need to make enough money that I can live in the best of both worlds..haha....
