Hedonism FTW!!!!

I've been here a month today, and oh my goodness. I just had a FANTASTIC night!!

I went to see SNFU, punk rock legends, at the Cobalt! It was Chi Pig's (lead singer) birthday, so they had a cake and candles and everything. Something about badass mohawk wearing guys singing happy birthday with a pretty cake just brings me joy.
While at the show, I ran into CHLOE from University days! She's out here visiting her boyfriend. How randomly wonderful it was to see her! I even did the stupid "Oh my GAWD" *huuug* girly thing which I loathe so much. That's what happens when I'm surprised I guess!
I also made a few new friends. Woo go me! One guy came in to work yesterday and we started talking about the show, and since we were both going alone I told him to say hi to me when he got there. Well, I ran into him on the street before the show tonight and we had a blast hanging out. All of the bands were amazing, better than I expected!! I'm sad that I forgot my camera (how unlike me, I know!), so you'll have to settle for the sub par cellphone photos. Still better than nothing says I.

The Fight United were surprisingly kickass. CDs were only $2! Woo!

The mighty SNFU! Finally the regrets of my past have been corrected. I have seen them. Ahh.

In conclusion, life is GREAT. I've found my zone, and not even the never ending rain can stop me! hahah

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a grand old time this weekend. I worked and got the sweetness of pay that one gets on holidays. Chels and I had our feast tonight. We made a ton of food, and ate far too much of it, just like REAL thanksgiving! I have no photos, because...I am lame. I haven't even taken my big momma camera out yet. Maybe I'm afraid a hobo will steal it, or, more reasonably, that it will get drenched in the rain. Patience my sweet Nikon, you'll feel the fresh air on your lens once more, I promise!

In work related news, I work with.....Nara THE SECOND! *GASP* She spells it differently, but it sounds the same. I am unequipped for this! MY name! MINE! And yeah, she's the second because I am older than her, so ha. Though...the work people are used to calling her by that name, so I get a random assortment. "Miss Nara" "Other Nara" "Miss A" etc. Mainly though, I snap my head around when I hear "Nara", only to be greeted with "No, not you". Dang.

OH. Chels and I tried to go out Saturday night. Ohh how excited we were for a night out in the big city. BAH. Fools! In summary:
RAIN. Every bar full by 9:30 pm. Cover charge $15 for clubs *shudder*. Half-assed "Irish pubs" that can't even spell ceilidh, indistinguishable from every other sports bar in the country, charging $8 cover. Trampy girls saturating the streets with too much heel and not enough skirt. Almost went bowling...but $17 for 30 minutes. Almost went into an arcade...Chels isn't nerdy enough. Gave up, had a big-ass cookie at Starbucks....salvaged the evening just barely with our usual fits of laughter at nothing.
Next time, there will be more planning involved! Perhaps heading out to the fabled Kits Beach area.

In other news, my bus ride is always rather interesting, but to date the best I've seen is the man mumbling to himself while wearing a sparkly sombrero. At 9am. Yay sombrero dude!

Also, people here are NOT as laid back as everyone claims. Oh no no no. I've seen more random anger between strangers here than anywhere else, about fairly minor things. Let's all calm down and live up to our reputations/stereotypes, shall we? :P

That said, I'll try and do something exciting soon so that I may post a valuable update. I hope to see the Art Gallery this week, woo. :)
