Alright, so I have been holding onto this stellar announcement for a few days now, mostly because my mother is going to cast her disapproving eye down on me and I wanted to be out of the city for that, but also because I wanted to feel better and be somewhat coherent. Holy deja-vu. That was weird. I guess I care too much about what my mother thinks about too many things. Good on one hand since my mother had impeccable judgment, bad on the other since she’s wholly against the concept of having fun (unless you count fun as giving yourself a heart attack laughing at weird medical jokes…then she’s ALL over it).

Anyways. Onto the big news! I am going to Ontario! April 5-7th. Okay, crazy I know. On so many levels. At the moment, reading this over, I am thinking “what is wrong with you! You’re insane!!!!”, but what is this blog/list but not an adventure to become out-of-my-mind-Hunter-S.-Thompson-crazy. Maybe scale it back a little from that, though having a bender like Mr. Thompson did in Fear and Loathing seems like a mighty fine idea as I stare down the two term papers I have coming up.

I am rambling today. Here is the story: I have friends, Cal and J, who live out in Guelph.Photobucket

They moved there from Airdrie this past year, and I enjoy their company quite a lot. We talk quite a bit online, and they asked if I would come visit them in April after they move into what I from here on in will refer to as “their mansion”. Well, normally I do not take weekend trips across the country (normally I don’t take trips), fly by myself, or accept extravagent gifts from people, but I haven’t seen them in quite some time (okay, a very long time) and it’s a wicked trip out East, back to my water and my homeland! I’m very very very excited.

So there. I have a crazy weekend trip across the country planned. I will take solice in the fact Sarah recently took essentially the same trip and had a good time. This will also fulfill #316 on my list which is to fly somewhere on my own. I think a hefty dose of Valium will be in order.

Off to class!
