Hungry for roasted duck!
Many birthday wishes to be given out! Happy Birthday to Pat, Matt, Brandie, and Cathy! I don't think any of these people read my journal but I can still wish them all a Happy Birthday. :) It's also Brandie (my cousin)'s Golden Birthday today!
Craaap. I keep gaining my weight back! That's it, I need to start walking. I'm getting a free pedometre on Thursday for a work walkathon! That should help. I need to buy some more veggies too. I never buy enough groceries because I hate carrying them home. I won't have time for grocery shopping before the hockey game tonight (heh), but I should be able to on Wednesday. I feel bloated, too. Blegh. I just keep telling myself, at least I'm still down from my highest weight.
I have a headache. Boo.
What a terrible time for Petro-Canada's system to be down, right as soon as I receive a whole bunch of drawing requests to be issued from their system. La la la. I should try to get my hands on some sort of pain killer. Stupid head.
The Calgary Folk Festival lineup looks pretty good! They just annouced the final list and the mainstage schedule, and the early bird tickets are now on sale for the next month. Dan Bern, Feist, Ani DiFranco, Kathleen Edwards (she's awesome!), Broken Social Scene, Macy Gray, Jeff Healy, Matthew Good, Dar Williams... so excited! It sounds like Brenna's going to come with me too. None of my brothers, surprisingly, are committed to going yet. I'm sure I won't be the only one going, but I find it surprising nonetheless. If anyone else is interested in coming, let me know. :)
I went camping with Nancy and a bunch of her friends and acquiantances this weekend. It was definitely a fun time and a nice get-away, but toward the end of the weekend I wanted to go home, and got a ride a day earlier than the rest of the group. I didn't know anyone and they weren't exactly my type of people. I didn't feel capable of having an intelligent conversation with anyone, and they were drunk and high from morning till night. They were also the type of people to tease in a non-funny way. I was teased for being vegetarian, for wanting to go to bed before anyone else, for being too quiet, for wanting to play cards, for being Newfie, for being an alcoholic despite the fact that I told everyone I bought alcohol for my own personal collection and wasn't planning on drinking all of it (I had a maximum of three drinks each night)... anything under the sun. It was different than the type of teasing we do amongst friends. Plus, everyone ended up "hooking up" with someone and I was the only single girl, meaning I had the remainder of the single (and unappealing) guys hanging off me all weekend like lost puppies.
It made me really miss the few camping trips we made in high school, where we would actually do things and act silly and no one cared, and no one needed to be drunk and high all weekend. On Sunday I went to adams_eve to watch the hockey game and she agreed that we should all go camping sometime during the summer! I think it's a splendid idea. I'm still interested in Sylvan Lake from Andre's suggestion. He's in South America right now but he'd probably be interested in camping as well.
I feel bad, I was talking to Pat on MSN last night and it lead to an arguement. I was frustrated with him and I feel like it was for legit reasons, but I still feel bad. I don't think he's mad though. He even ended the conversation complimenting me for being such a trusting person, and said I was a great friend. Dar. I was just looking for an apology because he snapped at me the last time he phoned me over a misunderstanding, but he managed to turn it around so that I felt bad for bringing it up. Meh, whatever.
Yesterday, mizraelle, adams_eve and I went to see justen sing with Kokopelli, Oran and a guest choir from Africa, Mascato. They performed at City Hall and it was a really enjoyable concert! I also enjoyed walking around Churchill Square, and it just made me want to move back downtown even more. I've made up my mind that I want to find a condo by the river valley. It's so much more convenient without a car, plus the atmosphere is nicer and makes me want to get out more. I'm starting to consider the idea of living with Allysa more, but there's still the voice in the back of my head saying it could lead to trouble. I don't know if I should just consider a one-bedroom place for now. At least I've decided the area, anyway! I was also looking at Southgate, but I really like downtown/Strathcona.
If I do take Allysa in as a roommate, I will probably have to give Pepper away since she also has a cat. I've been torn with the possibility of giving Pepper away ever since I got him, because his fur just irritates me way too much, and he's such a handful. Allysa's cat is also long-haired, so it wouldn't really be solving the problem of fur, just maintaining it. I don't know. Pepper is such a loving cat, it'd be hard to give him away, but I get way too frustrated with him sometimes. :( Kyla said she would be happy to take him, and I know she'd be great with him. In fact, I think they'd both be happy, so I'm considering the idea.
X-Men 3 comes out this Friday! I'm going to my uncle's on Friday until Sunday for the MS WALK so unfortunately I won't be able to go opening night. Does anyone want to go with me next Tuesday? :) Cheap night! As long as there isn't a hockey game next Tuesday... heh.
Plus I have $7 tickets from work for the following theatres (City Centre is unfortunately not one of them): Cineplex Odeon, Galaxy Cinemas, Famous Players, SilverCity, Coliseum, Colossus and Paramount Theatres (not valid for IMAX presentations, though). You're welcome to buy one off me, whether it's for this movie or another one, if we're ever at one of these theatres.
Anyway, I left this open for a few hours. It's now 1:00pm and I have quite a bit of work to catch up on. Have a good day.
GO OILERS GO!
