WE MISSED YOU!!!  Charles organized the event (as is always the case with Charles... Mr. Organized). He used to organize your breaks before, and now he's organizing get-togethers!!  We joked that they were visiting the Taj Mahal and that they would all have to call in sick at the Museum! (FYI: they're all still working at the Museum... ALL OF THEM!!) Then... tun-TUN-TUNNNNNNNNNNNN!! As we're walking down Berri-UQAM, who do I see...??? PATRICK!  Voilà! C'est à vous cette KODAK Moment <3 So there you have it. WE MISSED YOU SOOOO MUCH! We talked about you so so much, and they all wanted me to tell you that they missed you... and please write them back.  <3

I will NOT acknowledge it. It has taken me MONTHS to forget, and I won't ruin my progress by acknowledging it.  P.S. A very special blog entry for my special Montréal buddy will be posted sometime in the next few days... hehe. I miss you, mon amie avec les cheveux roux <3 

I'm baaaaa-ack!! My new roommates (Laura and Ariane) are so different from my former ones. First off, they're both girls... they're both younger than me... they're so CLEAN!! Oh my! (The dudes, while clean, were surface clean... these girls are DEEP clean haha!) I do admit that living with Paul, Max and Marc did have its perks: they were super funny, loved the same music I did, and went to bed super-late (I feel guilty when I stay up because Laura and Ariane go to bed at 10:30 and our floorboards are creaky and I don't want to keep them up and I know I do when I walk around... phew!) Anyway, they both leave on Fridays and don't come back to Montréal until late Sunday night. Oh to be alone, once more.... My first week at Lobster was divine!! I'm in love with my boss (I caught myself mimicking her body language which is indicative of how much I look up to her). She's super-smart and funny and has the BEST haircut I have ever seen on anybody.  So far, so g

Saint Alvia came through Edmonton on September 12, 2008... and boy, was it ever sweet!!! The boys from the former-Cartel (they recently changed their band name to Saint Alvia...) put on a great show (as can be expected from them, really!) and Fabiana, Lucina and I were lucky to chill with them backstage for a while. Anyway, they were opening for Against Me! and played before Japanthar. Interesting thing, I looooved Japanthar! This twosome was so impressive. They were a mix of electronic and punk-rock... But didn't sound at all like indie music... haha... I don't know if my comparison makes any sense, but regardless, I loved their set. Then, Against Me! came on. These dudes are ENERGETIC! I've seen them before (they opened for the Foos back in March). I love music!!

I'm leaving for Montréal today... Let the dancing begin :)

Poor Noel... :( I'm slightly ashamed of the fact that this happened in Canada... dangit. Ah well. Idiots are live and well all over the world--no matter where you live.  So I'm leaving in two days. I have a bed, I have a job, I have plans to see my friends from the Museum. It will be shveeeeet. I'm pumped! Slightly nervous but incredibly stoked!! My momma is sad. I can tell. She came into my room this morning to give me a hug. Am I being a disloyal daughter...? I know I'm going to miss my parents (and they me) but I know they are aware of the amazing opportunity that has been given me. Still, I can't help but feel like I should stay. Anyway, this weekend has been great! I saw the Saint Alvia on Friday (along with Japanther and Against Me! ) and as usual, they were sweet and wonderful and made us realize how amazing Canadian music is. Really, they are phenomenal! Pictures will be posted oh so soon...

Canada is having an election in about a month.  Nooooooooooo...  I'm positive that the American elections will overshadow ours... I don't know if my statement is unpatriotic [or unfair], but it's the truth. How pathetic. Despite my anger at the Conservative party and their egocentricities, I'm excited for the election. After all, voting is the most important factor in a democracy. You can't be a democracy without the peoples' input... duh. Anyway, I'll have to vote in Montreal. This will probably be weird. I hope my new roommates are as into politics as my last ones. In other news, my slacking always pays off.  I must learn not to procrastinate... Oh, and I'm leaving in exactly ONE WEEK. Let the panic-attacks begin....

"Everyday I wake up and it's Sunday Whatever's in my eye won't go away... Because my inside's on my outside My right side's on my left side 'Cause I'm writing to reach you now, but I might never reach you..." Amanda Tyler is my hero. This chickadee and I went to the Oasis concert last night and oh. My. Gosh. They were GREAT!! Too bad I missed Matt Costa for the second time in a row!! But, no matter... I got a meet and squeeze from the Matt himself. :) He even apologized because I missed him both times...!! Way to make me feel like a douche, Matt!! Hahah!

.... I like him. I fight the urge to run away everyday, too. I think: I'm broke, I'm young, I have so much to learn... And I think how my escapism would hurt my loved ones. But the urge is there. It's comforting to know that he feels that way, too. Heck. It's great knowing that I'm not the only person who dreams of leaving everything behind. In other news, I have completed four out of the seven things I looked forward to doing (see this post ). I have watched Sex & the City , I went to Oasis with Amanda, I job-hunted (and found!! yay), and I had random adventures with people here in E-Town. But I'm not going to see Bedouin in October (in AB, that is), the SAC concert isn't until next weekend, and I haven't saved any money since I got back (P.S. I STILL haven't been paid for my last week in Montreal and even after I talked to them, it seems I won't see my cheque in a while... Fucking Vanessa. *grumble*) Oh lists. My new

I have decided to go with the flow starting..................... now.
