Home sweet home... (?) Apparently my last post in Ottawa didn't work either, I'll try to fix that up when I get my computer hooked up. Which, yes, will be difficult considering I left the power cord for it in Chris' room. Had a shitty time leaving. Not as bad as leaving home at the end of summer, granted, but harder than expected. Joey... I always have guys in the wrong area code. I think my thing with him is that I think he's better than me so anytime he compliments me or even the fact that he's so crazy about me, it sends me into a state of disbelief and shock. Anyone who's heard me talk about him knows how absolutely ecstatic I was when I first met him, not to mention when he asked me for my number. I didn't think things would work out this well, and now that I'm gone I realize I like him more than I thought I did. Humph. Definately going to be visiting him a few times over the summer and see what happens. Went out with aforementioned frat boy, not a bad time but he's not it. Obviously, if you couldn't tell from the "he cheats on his girlfriend" thing. Very similar to me personality-wise but just out to have as much fun as he can get away with, and he gets away with a lot. Leaving Chris blew elephant testicles too. (What a lovely image...) He got me all teary so I just rushed out of there before I turned all emotional-weeping. It's not like I'll never see him again, he couldn't get rid of me that easily. I'd like to thank him, but I don't think he'd understand what it is that I'm thanking him for. So here officially starts the Newmarket part of the adventures. Yuck. I do not approach it with much enthusiasm. The whole concept of "home" is kind of confusing me right now because if "home is where the heart is" and your heart is in a few places, then where do you call home? I might head up again to Ottawa for a summer of adventures but I think I need a rest from that for a while. Not that I want that rest, it just might be in my best interest. Get grounded and level-headed again before second year. I did a lot of stupid stuff this year, not necessarily idiotic but very out of character and not anything that I'd like to discuss over the dinner table. Look at "The Hit List" that Carol and I made for ourselves of guys we'd made out with over the year. I'm not even posting the number on here! All in good fun, I'm still alive and that's all that counts. I wonder what my year would have been like if I'd gone to McGill like originally planned. Here are the plans so far for the summer:
a) one amazing roadtrip to anywhere
b) find awesome job like last summer
c) make out with Joey whenever the opportunity presents itself
d) do not get emotionally attached to anyone in my 905 area code (or any other than 613 for that matter)
e) lose disgusting amount of weight I've put on first year, Joey is a personal trainer, what are you doing?!
f) try not to snap on parents
g) get over feelings of superiority to certain schlubs in town
h) keep in touch with everyone from Ottawa that matters
i) continue the spirit of my Ottawa adventures
j) remember to blog something non-poetic at least once a week
k) and above all, stay sane!!!
