Readjusting
I am back in Canada. I got back to Ottawa around 11pm Friday night. I was meant to go to a rave, but that just wasn't going to happen.
Last night I went to the play Agokwe, which was amazing. It is about being gay and native. It is written and performed by a young guy, and just him. Standing alone on stage for an hour and a half. It was impressive and touching. I definitely recommend it. I have never really been to a play, apart from school productions and a couple times at the Ron Maslin Theatre. I think I should go more often. I had never even been to the NAC until last night! I want to start going to something cultural at least once a month. There is always something on in this city, and I mean to take advantage of it.
I also mean to take advantage of SNOW! I went skiing with my dad and brothers today. It was my first time on skis in about two years, which is far too long to not ski! I have been at this since I was two and a half, so I think it's ingrained in my muscles. I feel alive when I ski. It's hard and terrifying and I love the feeling of control, and the feeling of letting go of that control. Skiing makes me not hate winter, which is an impressive feat.
What else? I am looking at two apartments/rooms tomorrow. Another on Wednesday. I saw one yesterday. The one I saw yesterday was beautiful and amazing, but it was also spotless. I am not a tidy person. I leave a trail of messiness in my wake. I do dishes and I sweep and mop and all that stuff, but I am rather chaotic and function better when scattered. I think I could be tidy, if I needed to be, but I am not by nature and when looking for a place to live, well, then I want to feel at home, and not always have to be on my best behaviour. I don't want to piss off roommates. So although the place I saw yesterday was awesome, I am going to look around to see if I can find something a bit more dishevelled.
On that note: If you know of anyone looking for a roommate downtown or on a 24-hour bus route lemme know! Please! I am currently living on an air mattress in my parent's basement. It is not ideal.
What else floats? ...I have uploaded a ton more photos to my deviant art account. I kind of abandon it from time to time, but I do try to update it when I remember.
Is that it? I think that's it. I need to sleep, as I am getting a headache again. Stoopid headaches.
