I'm alive
So much has happened in a while.
A) went to Greenday and My Chemical Romance. I've never felt so moved by a band as I did by Greenday. They were simply amazing. And though I'm not a hard core fan I felt totally part of the audience and there was more energy there than I've ever seen. It was sold out and nobody was sitting. Unfortunately My Chemical Romance didn't exactly hold a candle to Greenday. Mostly because they seemed to be standing for rebellion more than good music, and I like them fairly well but many times I find that I like the music more than I like the band. Greenday was different I've never felt so much love for what they do from anyone. Especially being around for 16 years. The sum 41 concert didn't compare and they are much younger. Perhaps a good powerful show comes with experience but talent definately played a role and I was completely overwhelmed. Especially when Billie Joe gave a 16 year old kid his guitar. It would have been such an honour. It was definately my best concert experience, though closely tied with Sarah Slean.
B)I had and interview with Bennett Jones, a law firm in Calgary, in their accounting dept. making 12 bucks an hour (which is basically a gold mine here). I love my job right now but I'm just not making the money that I'm going to need for next year. So unless my current boss can compete (at 14$ because Bennett jones is close to where I live) I will have to give H&P up which would be sad because I really like it there.
C) We bought a condo in edmonton across the river. Woot. It's really nice and will definately suit my needs. Downside=so far both of our roommates are charlotte's friends. And well I'm sure they are nice girls I will feel out numbered all of the time and I will definately feel excluded. Mostly because of my lack of love towards the hypocracy constantly entwined with Mormon culture. I don't know these girls but if they are like my sister it's going to be a gongshow and most of my time will be spent at Rachel's (I hope she won't mind) but I just don't know how I'll put up with hardcores when I'm hardly that myself and when I'm really content to just be LDS the way I am. So I'm trying to go in with an openmind but I know that I will be the odd man out unless something unusual happens and Charlotte's friends are ones that I would like too (in the past the results aren't so encouraging).
D) Not even one month into my family life and I'm getting a bit sick of them. Mostly because they are so noisy. Not only just lots of noise, but because there is noise there is also loud talking. After spending so much time where people are quiet most of the time it is a harsh shock. I just am finding it really difficult to get used to people in my face all the time, correcting my driving etc.
E)pookie and I are doing so well that it's hard to imagine a time before this.
F)I doubt I will return to fort mac this summer, particularly with the work schedule I have. Which is lame becuase there are people, like bryn, that I was hoping to see in the fall, and others who I'm finding hard to do without.
G)I'm trying to end on a good point so I will say I got boots and a silk sweater for 95 dollars the other day. and I still love ebay
