In a mere matter of fourteen hours... I will be away from home. I leave to my new residence in fourteen short hours. I am SO nervous...It is shameful.

I mean, heck, I'll be home late Friday evening, but the fact that I'm home only a day and a bit every week is still awkward. As little as I see my friends, I still enjoy the short times that I sneak around with them...

And now all my friends are working full time, I'll never see them.

So, Lake Wabamun, Camp YoWoChAs, here I come. Nerve racked and under-prepared. A sailing instructor I am, and a sailing instructor I shall be. A damned good one at that. {fingers crossed}
I do have Internet access out there though, so I can at least keep up with my friends via Internet.
Oh.
It'll be fine.
I'm just...
So Nervous.

Nell and I laid the ground work for our re-vamped trip this summer. Shortened to only five days and switching directions from previously planned...It looks as if it will be a go. Funds pending of course.
Wish us luck, maybe we'll make some rad new friends while in Vancouver.
Not likely, but optimism for something makes this sinking feeling less despairing.
Sorta.

My job is alright. Not fantastic, but alright. Staff training went well, I start to do actual work next week. That's good? No Great!

I made a few 'friends'. The people out there are mostly upper tax bracket (never had a real job) whiny brats. There are a few alright people out there. My roommate Hawk (Jolene), my Mexican exchange pal Agua (Ava), Thunder the lifeguard (real name unknown...), Dingo the Australian exchange (Tim), to name just a few.

Mostly it's okay. I miss the real life workings of being in the city. Mind you, this weekend in so far, sucks. All of my friends made plans, leaving me to rot at home till Sunday when I leave once again. Curse you Nell, Curse you Patrick, Curse you Matt, Curse you Andrew...

Nell and I played pool last night and in general didn't have the energy to do anything exciting. I really wanted to go dancing tonight, but she's gone all weekend. Mind you, I really can't expect her to change plans for me. I'm not that selfish. Maybe we'll do something rad next weekend when I'm back.

I need to finish my laundry and re-pack. I leave in 24hrs. Bummer.
So until then....

Go France Go~Go Italy Go
{I'm torn}

So I survived my second week working with the freaks and crazies that refer to me as Toad.
I thank Super Mario for my name.

Week was altogether quite uneventful news wise, but gossip is already rampant about 'staff relations'. Gross. However we're getting a new councillor on Sunday, and rumour is...he's a boy. Oooo...
blah.

I have a sore throat, and am achey. Flu? Or just exhaustion? I'm feeling much better though even after just sleeping in my own bed.

Eva came home with me this weekend, and is nice to have here, it was either me or stay at camp all weekend. We're going dancing tonight.

But i'll fix this trash up later.

Later gators.

So here it goes. My life as it has been in so far...has been alright. Not great, not bad, not fantastic.
However-

I think that I am begining to change. I am starting to realize that my stupid innate fear of meeting new people.

I have new friends, in leiu of old ones that don't call.

Will explain in greater lenght in a few hours.

So my weekend was gee-golly gosh groovetastic!

I truly had a great weekend. Friday I went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2 with Matt and Eva. Ended up wet from the waist down and in a sticky seat for two and a half hours, but I fell asleep on Matt and I woke up as the movie ended.

Saturday was awesome. Went to the water park with Eva and Aaron and his friend Julian. Then Eva and I met up with my co-workers and had dinner. Then River and Spud and Eva and I hit up The Roost.
The local happy scene gay bar.

It was awesome, River the lover-ly gay danced the night away with me, while Spud, the homophobe tried to not hyperventilate. (But she's not afraid nor does she have any problem with homosexuals) ha ha...Funny funny stuff.

It was awesome, we danced our faces off till 3:30am then walked home. It was good.

I miss being at home. And I really wish that I was in a good relationship. I didn't see Nell all weekend, her and her love are in Calgary at the zoo. I'm heading back to work for the week, so until next Friday....

I'm out.
