Here's how it started, started with a beat, a beat in my head, and it wouldn't go away so I added the bass, the bass was phat...

Ottawa was great. Yes. We ended up moving Carol, Kelly and I up. The 16-foot truck was filled to the brim. Things went fairly smoothly at Kelly's, Warren helped us, and Brodie and Jake were at our place to help. (Thank you boys!) Long and sweaty day, but we got more done than I thought we would.

Jordan picked us up (after looking for us at Abbas Grocery in the pouring rain, haha!) and we headed to Bruce County for fort night. Highlight was when he thought the reverse on the car was broken. He pulled into a parking spot at the LCBO and when he went to leave he started pushing the car and while it was rolling, hopped in. Absolutely hysterical. When they said for, I was expected a tiny little blanket draped over a chair or something. Oh no, when they say fort they mean fort. It was about 20-30 blankets and sheets with a TV room and a champagne room, lava lamps and blacklights, not to mention the kiddie pool outside. Absolutely huge! Newf (Mark), Jordan and Derek had spent three hours assembling this. They cooked us a delicious dinner with grilled shrimp and chicken. We had such a great night, it was hysterical and they put so much effort into it. Very, very impressive. I think the funniest was Newf in the TV fort by himself. You could hear the TV say "What do you want to be when you grow up?" And he answers, "Teen Wolf!". Gold. Or Mark asking Carol "Who the hell would call your cell phone at 8am on a Sunday morning?" and she answers "Jesus.". Cosmo's were killer and so was the company! Greatly appreciated...

And as things were going well enough, Joey is a brand-new person. His telephone phobia has disappeared, and he called me frequently throughout the weekend, even offereing to pick us up from Jordan's. Unfortunately, I was too busy for us to get together, but I will definately see him when I get up there...

No mention of Jon? There is nothing to mention of Jon. I have not talked to him in about 3 or 4 days, he couldn't even be bothered to call me and wish me a safe trip or a good move. Not happy. He's taking me out for a fancy night on Friday so we'll see how it goes. Will probably end up taking a 'break' with him for his two months in Europe. It's really what's best and then we'll see when he comes back. That's right folks, you heard it first, I will be free for two months. Lock up your men!

Strange coincidences, just met the one counsellor in here who I hadn't seen all summer and we were talking about his daughter that also just finished first year at Carleton. Turns out that his daughter and I were best friends in kindergarten. Wow, small world...

It's so exciting to have my own place. It's starting to come together and surprisingly it looks really good! Steph and Lacey will be living directly below me and it looks like it's going to be another excellent year. :) ESPECIALLY as Chris is living so close to me! Haha!
