I don't wanna grow up...

But I'm being forced too! My parents actually bought a house in New Brunswick and are kicking me to the curb! There was some discussion about me keeping the house but basically my Dad doesn't think I can handle it! I admit I was offended by this at first but it's not entirely untrue - there would be a lot of things to take care for just one person. So, I need to start looking for a condo or apartment - it hasn't be decided as to whether I'll rent or buy but it'll definitely be moving closer to work! I'll keep you updated as things progress!

As I'm sure you can tell I've updated the look of my blog!

What do you think? Better?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REGAN!

Dude! You're "peaing" on the floor!

So turns out I'm a big loser as I fell down the stairs and broke my ass on Sunday night! Oh the pain!!!! I was walking down the stairs just like I had any other day and I guess the combo of slippery socks and hardwood floor did me in! To make matters worse my parents are in New Brunswick so I was home all alone! So after a good 10 minutes of shuffling to the phone I called Katie (who was luckily at André's house) to come take me to the hospital! I grabbed my bag of frozen peas and a pillow and off we went...

I guess about 3 hours into our 6 hour wait Katie says, "Dude! You're peaing on the floor!" (which is VERY funny at that hour!) It seems I was wrong about the bag or peas being unopened and they had melted and leaked on the waiting room floor!Oopss! Just so you all know - room temperature uncooked peas smell really bad!

So it's now close to 3am and I finally get to see the Doctor... surprisingly the pain in my ass and lower back felt better when he applied pressure so he sends me off for X-rays. Do you know how hard it is to lay on a hard flat table with a broken ass?? VERY!

After that torture, I got back to my room and had to wait some more - YAY! Finally the nurse dude came back in with a pretty needle for the pain but HOLY CRAP it burnt! So I said, "OH MY GOD that burns so bad!!" and he was all, "oh, I guess I should've warned you" JERK! He left and we waited another 10 minutes or so before he came back and said, "oh, you can leave" - thanks buddy! Katie had to call him back and say, "Ummm, what about the X-rays?" he said, "Oh their fine" and walks away...

Ajax/Pickering Hospital at it's finest!

"Turn off the car and hand me the keys"

Yeah, that's what the scary man at the border said to me last weekend on our way to the "So you think you can Dance" tour in Buffalo! He just popped the trunk and we were on our way but seriously do I look like a smuggler?!

We arrived at the theatre early to pick up the replacement tickets... why didn't we have the original tickets you ask? Because Katie's mom is a Klepto! She had them all along but we'd cancelled them before we made that discovery!

We decided to go shopping before the show so we drove around (and around and around and around) looking for a mall. We passed the Church of Scientology at one point and were curious but far to afraid to actually go in! I mean, what if Tom was there?!

When we finally found the mall and it SUCKED! I've never seen such a pathetic mall in all my life! It was like the size of the Pickering Town Centre but had maybe 10 stores open and all the other units were empty - creepy! So we headed to "TGI Friday's" for dinner which I very much enjoyed! Too bad they don't have any around here! The best dessert I've ever had! Mmmmm... Cinnibon cheesecake...

The actual show was AMAZING! I'm glad we made the trip! Too bad we weren't able to get tickets for the Toronto show, I'd love to see it again! I even bought a sweater that says "I KNOW I can Dance" across the back! hehe!

Ka-Ka-Ka-Karma!

Now let's pretend it's Sept 27th...

So it turns out that Lloyd is going to live!! He just needed one of his hoses replaced. I gotta say, that was a whole lotta smoke for just one hose!!

Now, here's were Karma kicks my ass... after wanting nothing to do with Katie's "piece of crap car" and making sure everyone knew Lloyd wasn't mine because of course "I have a much nicer car" Guess, whose car breaks on the way home from work the next week?! That's right... MINE!

My Dad was nice enough to take Julius in the next day and he was as good as new after minor muffler surgery BUT I have learned my lesson... I will never speak ill of Lloyd again because he has magic revenge powers!

Movie Reviews

I forgot to fill you all in on our recent movie choices...

September 22nd - "The Black Dahlia" - what a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE movie! And now I've already wasted too much time talking about it!

September 29th - "The Guardian" - Ashton wore his shirt a bit too much for my liking and I think the ending could have been better/different but overall it was quite enjoyable!

Poor Lloyd!

Let's all pretend I wrote this on Sept 24th, k?

Ugh, I'm so tired today - we didn't get home from Nicole's Bachelorette until close to 5am this morning! I think a good time was had by all! We started off at 4pm sharp and I'm happy to say Katie and I were once again early! (I swear it's true RaE!) Of course, Katherine (the Maid of Honour) was being sneaky and we didn't really need to be there until 4:30pm (God, it's annoying waiting for people - haha!)

We started with some belly dancing lessons, it wasn't quite what I expected but I'd try it again. It was a HUGE workout, we were all sweating by the time the hour was up and headed back to the hotel for a shower. Slight problem - the shower in their hotel room was broken!! So while some decided use it anyways (cold water only), Katie and I headed up to the fitness area locker rooms in our stylish bathrobes.

After dinner (pizza), we started in with the games (and the alcohol complete with penis straws)! I can't say that I did as well with the games as I did at Nicole's shower. I don't seem to be very good at sculpting penises out of playdoh or pinning the "stud on the man" - I will have to work on that I suppose!

Next, we headed out to a club called "Montana" - what an awesome club! There was a great mix of music, great crowd, places to sit/lounge and it was so much cleaner than "The Pheonix" which I am definately over now that I've experienced the other side ;) Our feet were killing us by the end of the night but we pushed through.

Katie and I decided to head home around 3am and stop for some D's as there was a 24 hour location on the way. We ordered and pulled ahead and I said to Katie, "Dude, I think you car is smoking?!" but we thought maybe it was just the exhaust fumes coming from the car infront of us (it was a cold out). So, we moved a bit futher ahead and we're still waiting but now we're sure the smoke is coming from Lloyd!! So Katie turns of the ignition and BOOM, the car drops and a huge cloud of smoke bursts out of the hood! I have never ran away from a car so fast in my life!! Katie called her good friends at CAA to come take Lloyd away, at which point they tell her not to call again to November because she's reached her limit of calls! (which she adds is not her fault because she's called for her mom too!)

So now there is a car in front of us and several behind us in the drive thru and we can't move the car! Nobody working the drive thru seems to care they just keep saying, "can you get it out of the way, you need to get it out of the way" sure buddy let me get right on that for you (I think to myself). A couple of guys get out of their car to help and one of them even had a helpful suggestion "GET A NEW CAR!" Of course, I keeping inisiting, "it's not mine it's HERS"

Katie's mom was nice enough to come pick up our sorry asses and wait with us for the tow truck to show up - the driver was very cute! Of course, as we are discussing just how cute he was and the fact that we couldn't see a ring on his finger, Katie's mom points out that the window is open and he can hear us!

So Lloyd was taken away by the cute tow truck driver but hopefully he doesn't have to go to car heaven!!
