(no subject)
home sweet home! i dunno, but these family vacations always make me love my home more and more. who knew sleeping in your own bed and not on some hotel mattress or an air bed (yes..eww) could feel SO GOOD. anyway (technically) 13 days later, 1000+ km later, i AM OFFICIALLY home. and i have been for almost a week, but way too lazy to post.
first and foremost, schedules are out and happy =). hmrm is going to rock!
secondly, last night, or this morning was such a close call! i DO NOT want to meet up with rocky in the company of my parents. but i came close! today i went to CNE and who happened to go? ROCKY. and joan told him and told me!!! :O :O!! i freaked. i considered a disguise and a big hat! i settled for my sunglasses that somewhat make me look different, but yes safely, didnt see him. altho i came close! i saw this guy from the back and he LOOKED LIKE ROCKY! but it wasnt him. haha...i saw him after from the front, and he was definitely not rocky. haha..but at the same time, by the end of the day, i wanted to see him. like not see, see. more like see and then run. haha...like i wanted to see him, but he not see me. sad i know. haha...joan u were right. but i didnt want to see him last night! I PROMISE!
