Who ARE We?!

Waltz with me in the street
avoid the murder car
and look at a mouse.
Friends bloopers until three a.m.
[Ross caaannnnnnn]

Beet red tomato prediction came true!

Happy Easter :)

Pat: Never change.

Day/Night

Remember when you were little? How, in the bright summer days, your parents would line up your toy dinosaurs at the windowsill, giving them a glimpse of what they were missing out there?

When night fell those dinosaurs would radiate the light of the day. They'd sneak into your room, one by one, and your parents would tell you to go find them. Remember searching through your dark room for that rosy glow coming from under your covers, your closet, your drawers?

Remember being terrified of forgetting one in case it came alive and ate you?

Just A Writer... But My Pal.

[The last post I posted was my 365th. Finally, after three years.]


Days like these
with that Spring smell around
remind me of
childhood.

Scrape of chalk on concrete,
bouncing balls above wires and
hool-ing hoops around arms.

The clack of street hockey
as I watched Nicks friends play.

Skinned knees from trying too hard,
blood from a skateboard accident and
my name hollered from
front porches when the sun

goes

down.



Boy: I can't cross my legs.
Me: Really?
Boy: Yeah, my pants are too tight.
Girl: Liar! You can't cross them without pants on either.

And something about a big friendly bear.

Run Away

Sometimes, when I'm sitting on the bus, I wonder what would happen if there was an accident and no one could escape this bus? How would the drama unfold? Would the old lady next to me offer to share her mystery meat sandwich, or would she quickly gobble it down before we noticed? And, of course, the inevitable: who would be eaten first?

But then, of course, we drive out from under the Decary expressway and these thoughts disappear. I go home and forget about this near-death experience until tomorrow.

After Math

I miss doing this, especially now that life is so full and memorable. There are things that I want written down.

Most of it would be pointless boy drivel... but it makes me happy :)

In Memoriam

I Hate To Be a CopyCat

But I am.
This project is over.
Thanks for reading.

I like your style.

No pictures.... yet.

But we'll try and do this anyway.

Tuesday, January 19th

Avery's birthday!!! Woohaa.
Plan sprung into action at 8:00 sharp with my wakeup from a night of no sleeping.

Hopped on the bus [with stereotypically bearded man, haha] and, like, forever later I was there.

Avery: Anna!

Thanks for helping, Jess :)
Went to the Oval and felt like a real Abbotteer.

NoName: You know how I know you're best friends?

Got chatted up by some random guy who submitted Avery to [not that kind] of test. Which she lost. Better luck next time.
Everyone left me... but then Geedi found me!
We talked nonsense and then she left me... and then Avery was back!

Do you always have water bottles like that? /high pitched voice

Met up with Dad and then sat in the basement and fantasized about singing men. Sigh.
Home, nap, dinner. School tomorrow!



Monday, January 18th
Boring day.


Sunday, January 17th
Out with Kim and Daniel in the afternoon, over to Angrignon.

Kim: Am I a bad driver?
NotKim: No, I felt very safe.
Kim: Really? Thanks!
NotKim: ...

NotKim: Don't drop that pill.
...drops.
NotKim: What did I JUST say?!
Kim: I am going to eat it anyway.

She bought her headphones then we headed over to the mall and did some other stuff.
Bus back to Daniel's video store and picked out [rather disturbing] films.

Facetious.

Does your mom touch people?

Back home for dinner, then POWER OUTAGE and scary X-Files music in the night time.



Saturday, January 16th
...not much.
Attempted to repair my laptop and went to bed frustrated and with a giant headache at like 9:30.



Friday, January 15th
Went light shopping in the morning, confusing stores.
Met Dana at Namur in the afternoon after some debating, but ended up great!
Even though it was the wrong movie, but it was a good wrong movie. With a surprisngly un-creepy Phillip Seymour Hoffmann. Woop.
Talked music, then bus home for a dinner of muffin. Good stuff.

Turrrrrrrrtle

Today is coming.



Alone.
Applied for so many jobs *finger crossed* and requests for information.
Here's hoping!
Over to Dorval in the afternoon, picked up some stuff.
Conversations in the night-time... suddenly over.

Only you.

Wednesday, January 13th.
Not much.
Watched tv with Nick in the evening.

Where Are We?
Went to Carrefour Laval with Mom - didn't get lost!

Me: Screw instructions! We're going rogue!

Spent a few hours figuring out that giant mall... rather successfully!
Got new clothes and Mom got tea. Woop.

Until Death Didn't Want Him
Good books!

Muffstuff
Muffin over in the afternoon and Dad and I out for a walk with the dogs.
Watched the airplanes go by and checked out mouse holes in the field.
Nana and Poppa over for [a late] St. Hubert's dinner!
Yum yum.

Nellyphant

See?
Went out in the morning and got calendars! Love them.
Had a chat, then some lunch and finished my book.
Job researching after dinner, hmmm. Interesting.

Anniversary

AH!
Made a sock monkey.
Gave it to mom.

Olive Face
Over to the grocery store [and its smell of marijuana and extremely crowded pepperoni aisle] in the afternoon.
Picked up all the essentials... plus olives.
Back to my place to waste a bunch of time playing games and virtually stalking people and thennn -
Prepare!
Each had our duties, good job everyone!
Waited for it to cook and drank our drinks.
I Love You, Man and fuzzy blankets. Delicious donuts.
Gooooood stuff.

BATTLE
Finger twister + alcohol = today

OutsideIn
A whole lotta mall.

Big Day Out
Timmy's for lunch-ish, murmured conversations and then off to the library!
Well... back to the terminus, actually.
But then off to the library!
Lounged in the gazebo, and then made all sorts of wonderful plans.

Year Spaceship

Inuk.
Out for a photoshoot on the lake, along with watching some skaters try avoid dogs.
Sought respite from the wind so went back up to the cottage while Dad got a few last runs in.
Packed up and said goodbye - thanks, everyone!
Car ride home with annoying cds, then catching up with everything in Montreal.

Because he's our favourite.

Sliding party!

Zoomzoom
Up and had a bit of a snowshoe with Nana through the woods across the street, very pretty trees.
Andrea up around 2, after her extremely long and stressful trip, haha.

Her: I was going to bring my guitar... but we brought Corey instead.

Enjoyed that story, then went out to do some sliding! Got a bunch of runs in, and watched people crash and fall down a lot.

NotMe: I think I have a wrist concussion... I can't remember hurting it.

Pasta for dinner, prepared by Andrea.
3rd degree.

Canada: How many kids do you have?
Mexico: One, actually.
...life story.

Interesting.
Cleaned up and sat around talking.

From the cock to the ass.
...that expression doesn't work so well in English.

Had a giant discussion about dictionaries and the word Google... just let it go.
Bed eventually.

Giant/Shrimp
<3
Love cottage winter.
Up way, wayyyyy too early for New Years Day. Ugh.
Crawled into the car and rocked out on the way to the cottage.
Arrived in the snow and immediately went to sit down on the couch.
Got dragged out for a really nice snowshoe down the lake with Nana, Dad and the noisy dogs. Beautiful day!
Back for a yummy sausage dinner and in bed at 7:30.
[10:00 cottage time, hahah]

Reunition Tradition
New Years Eve!!
Met up with Avery after dinner, after figuring things out all day long.

Boy: I got it.
Girl: You're good at getting things. Like laid.
Boy: True dat.

Walked over to Matt's in the cold, had a beer and chatted with him and Jordan - fun!
No grade six reunion, amputee gym teacher and being drunk in class.
Stayed longer to save him from awkwardness, but finally left when others showed up.
Over to Jess's and found a whole lot of food waiting for us!
Did the usual, sat, talked and drank :)
Re-enacted prom mishaps, hahaha.

DrunkGirl: I don't remember that!

Counted down!
[I'm still upset the last song I heard in 2009 was Justin Beaver...]
And attempted to crack some crackers at the moment of the new year. Fail.
Left not too long after that, Avery's dad picked her up and I walked back to Matt's, wishing people well on the way.

ANNA!

Came and saved him. Helped clean up a bit, then relaxed at the table once the disgustingly drunk Duffy was gone.

Me: What was his name?
Him: Honestly... I don't even know.
Me: I. Love. You.

Didn't think there were many of that sort around there.

Heard the best story ever, then made Avery really happy, then got a lift home from JP.
Bed at 2:22.
Wonderful, wonderful night.
