♥ plans changed; instead of spending the bulk of my time in seattle and only two nights in vancouver, i did the exact opposite. eight nights in van and two in seattle.
♥ i spent one night in seattle with my brother and one later, after he'd gone home. we explored the touristy areas and took a horse-drawn carriage ride together. he came to garrett's show but was tired from being so hungover and so left before g's band, beast, please be still came on. they put on an amazing show!! the other part of my seattle trip was spent exploring downtown a bit by myself and buying lots of books and hanging out at the library with the evening spent roaming with jake. we went to the aquarium and it was absolutely fantastic! i love marine life. we wandered the downtown core and talked a lot. it was really nice and i'm excited to spend time with him (and garrett, of course) when i live on the coast.
♥ i do not think my brother enjoyed himself overmuch, but at least i made an effort!
♥ i spent most of my vancouver-time with malloreigh, d20 and s_eldorado. i also spent time with linds and ladyexxa and met chanel for the first time. she is very gorgeous.
♥ i rode around with s_eldorado on his new motorbike. it was deeeelightful. he is such a giving, wonderful guy. i left him with a pound of homemade fudge to show my appreciation.
♥ malloreigh and i were total bros when i was down. we did a lot of stuff together. we certainly smoked a lot of clove cigarettes! we spent two days at the beach, one of them at wreck. it is a nude beach. we kept our bottoms on so to keep sand from reaching our delicate lady bits. wreck is a beautiful place. i got a bit of a sunburn where miss mal forgot to put sunscreen on me but i am not mad. we are still wives. we ate supper on a different beach and watched the sun set. what a girl she is!! my favourite person to photograph, for absolute sure.
♥d20 introduced me to the only reason i could possibly want a ps2 for: KATAMARI DAMACY. i am in mega-love. its japanese brand of nonsense fits perfectly with my own brand of nonsense.
♥ coming back to calgary has been ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. i mean, i already knew how much i loved vancouver but i didn't even want to come home. i just wanted my stuff and cat to be sent to me. i had the most ridiculous homecoming. i got treated like a god damn terrorist in the stupid calgary airport! i got the full stuff pulled out everywhere treatment. i was the only person on my god damn plane to get such a rigorous search. they wanted to know how i knew people in vancouver, what i did there, where i stayed, practically what i ate! what do you say when asked what you did on a vacation?? 'sat on the beach'? they asked me the same questions over and over again. why was i flying out of seattle? why was i on a trip? why was i in vancouver? why was the flight out of seattle? they flipped page by page through my journal, looked through all my photos one by one.
THEN! when i get home? my CAT ignored me because she was so mad at me and my STUPID ROOMMATES lay down house rules before i can even put down my bags. they accused me of the fruit fly infestation (seriously, wtf? i have been GONE since the 8th). i can not wait to move. if anyone wants to contribute to the get rin to vancouver before november fund, let me know. donations of money and manpower will be accepted. i will also consider accepting hugs. i am SO GODDAMN TIRED OF BEING HERE.
seriously, i have been in this province for 5 hours and my skin is already worse. i have had to rebandage my hands because it's so dry they are already cracking. what a terrible place i live. i feel like today ruined the niceness of my holiday.
i guess to add a nice note: it was so, so relieving to see lavonne at the airport. i am awfully grateful to her for picking me up.

they only use local anesthesia and I was awake for the whole procedure ... the most uncomfortable part of the whole process was the anesthesiologist injecting the anesthesia into my hand because he had to make sure my hand was numb all the way .. so he keep pushing the needle deeper until my hand was numb enough for the operation ...
But, what downer on way home
*hugs* hope get outa there soon
