Huge thanks if you remembered to say happy birthday to me.. or if msn/facebook reminded you to say happy birthday. It made a slightly depressing day brighter :)
.. the reason why the day was depressing (despite my enjoying doing nothing) was that most of the people I would consider to be my current friends didn't remember at all. And out of what I consider to be my Markham "group" of friends.. only two people said anything to me. The majority of the people who said something to me were people I haven't seen for months or years and almost never talk to. I notice that it seems to often be the people that I put the MOST effort and care into that don't end up giving any back.. and don't even bother to say happy birthday.. I won't mention any names.. but there are a couple. It's time, I think, to do some serious re-evaluting of my life and the people I'm living it with. It's no big a deal I suppose, we're all human. Though I will admit that every year I say to myself.. "maybe everyone is just PRETENDING to be busy or PRETENDING not to remember or care about my birthday because they don't want me to know that they're PLANNING something for me..." But, who am I kidding right? If you want people to care about your birthday you have to be the one making the big deal about it, and you have to offer people free food and a place to do their drinking into the bargain.
I sound very pessimistic and complain-y don't I? I swear I'm not as much as it looks like, it just sort of comes out that way in writing! I PROMISE. At any rate, I got a nice long phone call from Mark, who I miss like crazy and haven't seen or talked to much in AGES. And Jesse, I love you for text messaging, believe it or not. And Justin for stopping by. And Jamie, who keeps calling even though I'm a huge grump lately.

Now here's the part where I need some feedback from who ever is reading this.. about:
HHHOOUUSSIIIINNNGGG!!!!!!
Yeahh.. so last week unfortunately Laura backed out on me. Her parents decided they didn't want her moving out. So basically, I'm kinda screwed! There's no way I'll be able to find someone else at this point to be my roomie.. so it comes down to 1. Moving somewhere by myself, bachelor, one bedroom basement, that sort of thing or 2. Moving into an apartment or house with one or more strangers. I'm having a TERRIBLE time trying to decide which one I'd rather. Both are fairly available. I think living alone would be AWESOME.. do what ever I want whenever I want with as much or as little noise, no one to be bothered by my practicing or having friends over, not having to clean OR put up with someone else's dirt... BUT.. would it be too lonely? Is it too sketchy to not have someone who would notice if I disappeared? Not to have someone just AROUND? I honestly can't decide because both present a rather large risk. At this point, I'm going just go for the first place I can find that looks good as far as price and location no matter which of the two that it is. If I could count on always having people wanting to hang out or come visit I might be less hesitant about living alone, but honestly, how often when you say to someone "oh yeah we'll hang out a lot this year" when you don't know them all that well, does it ever actually HAPPEN? So, sketchy.
So, what do you think I should do?
And now I will present to you some of my Ottawa weekend pictures!
Sir James Thomas Dickson Esquire.. looking as though he is out of Aladdin
Alex is describing something to Kate.. I've no idea what though
Le beautiful beach.. if you look closely you will see a deck filled with rowdy twenty-something drunks straight out of an american teen movie where the jocks are the cool kids.
God I love the beach.
Remember the rowdy drunks? Here are some of them helping us get our car out of the sand! I love this picture, take a look at the mirror.
Alex's huge ghetto tent! Sexay.
This one is one of my favourites as well
OOOH Jamie's gonna get NEKKEDD
hhhhEEELLLOO! He looks so surprised hahah.
Bungee jumping anyone?
Not for me, so instead I took some really super awesome pictures of THEM! Check it out, in SEQUENCE!
Alex's moment of terror:
DIVE!
Look closely at this one, I caught Jamie RIGHT as he was diving!!

AANND I'm spent.
P.S. I'm getting really attached to my kiddies.. on Friday the drugs the doctor gave me for my cough had my stomach REALLY upset so I was in the nurses office for a while.. and when I felt a bit better and caught up with my group some of the kids ran up to me and hugged me and wanted to know what was wrong.. so I told them that my tummy hurt.. and so they wanted to kiss my tummy better! How ADORABLE, who could resist that? I'm gonna take my camera in this week and get some cute pictures for y'all so you can see what I've been up to!

anyhoo..as for your housing..i say just look around and whatever looks the nicest to you, go for it, whether it is just single or more people. sorta like a gut-feeling thing...
and if you do live by yourself, i will email you once a week if you'd like to make sure you're alive.
