Why do I always have the worst tan lines ever?

Well that's right ladies. I have developed, wait for it, a farmer's tan. What's worse, it's only on one arm. You see yesterday I was outside for sports day wearing a little t-shirt with capped sleeves. At the end of the day I was like oh no because my right arm was red up to just before the shoulder and my left was white as can be. Why!! I'm presently in my class room deciding that I'm not even going to stick around and try anything. We can come out here on Sunday and do some shit. We can take 2 cars as I'm sure you guys won't want to stay as long as I'll be here. Remember the longer I'm here on Sunday the less I will be on Monday and Tuesday. As for Daytime Myrons when I mentioned it at work today they all said um thunder showers and cloudy. Great. I think it thundered last night or dude next door was bouncing or something. I also for some reason could not sleep at all so at 1 am I got up and defrosted bread to make a peanut butter sandwich. Oh the joys of having the kitchen next to your bed. Fell out of bed this morning I was so tired but nothing like hitting the floor to wake you up. All right I'm going home because I'm just not into this right now. Hoping Pamela contacts me and Marla as I am so up for going out this evening. Best weekend ever!!!

the CD is complete

Hi ladies,

2 MORE SLEEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm quite excited. Now I just have to get through one more exam and day of studying and I'll be on my way home. I'm leaving here bright and early on Saturday...my cab's coming at 5:30am. Yipee! So, I'vve put together volume one of the complilation on my own since no one decided to contribute. I think it's a good mix. Only 19 songs though. I could also make a mix of newer songs too if you want. I would also like to request that we head to daytime Myron's on Saturday as at my last check it was supposed to be about 27 and sunny. While we're there we can poll the crowd and determine whether it would be better to go to Peake's or Jake's. I know I told everyone I had to go to Peake's, but from the sounds of it, Jake's is the new hotspot for everyone our age and all the little kiddies are discovering Peake's. We'll figure it out on Saturday. Can't wait. It's the only thing that's getting me through this week from hell. Talk to you soon.

Love, MC

Friday at Peakes

Hey there! Well I'm not too sure whats going on but Iknow that I am going to be in PEI .... what I mean is that Sean's friends are coming down from Ont. and are going to be here (in Halifax) on wed. Sean wants to take them to PEI for the weekend or soemthing b/c they have never been. Now I am not inviting them to our Saturday of fun but Carolyn maybe we could make a night of friday AND saturday what do you think? I don't knwo what his plans are, like if he is even staying the night in PEI , I told him he couldn't stay at my place with his friends. For obvious reasons...anyways I'm up for it ..I need to go shopping before I come home ekk! I have to look good for shamless..i mean my girls! hahaha

What a day!

Darc and I were walking down St. Catherine on our way to the porn stores to buy things for Chris and Moira's bachelor/bachelorette pary when we heard some shouting. There have been a lot of protests lately so I thought maybe it was yet another one. Then I noticed that there were a lot of cop cars around so I suggested we cross to the other sidewalk. But before we did...we were able to make out what the crowd was saying "Come outside, Come outside". Then we realized it was the Musique Plus (French MuchMusic) building. So we joined the crowd because I wanted to figure out who was there. I couldn't see and was about to leave thinking it was some French singer when I looked up at the screen to see....Brian. As in Brian from the Backstreet Boys! Yes the Backstreet Boys were here!!! (Michelle I wanted to call you but I didn't have your number on my cell.) Talk about a memory from way back for the compilation CD. Unfortunately they didn't come outside while we were there. We left for a bit to go to the sex store then came back and they had already left. We were out for most of the afternoon so I was on the lookout for them. St. Laurent had a huge street fair so Darc and I walked along. The coolest thing was that there were stands selling pineapples and mangos on a stick. (Beats the turkey on a stick from Disney world...Remeber that CT and MC?) mmmango! They also had yummy cotton candy. Now I'm off to bed. Only 6 more sleeps girls!! Michelle...you read my mind about the compilation CD. Are we mixing new and old?? I'm thinking of songs....
Lynds

Its on like Donkey Kong!

Well I will have everyone know that after quite a bit of fussing around on the ole schedule I can make it home on friday now! good thing! There is a very long and perhaps borning story for most as to how I got out of work on sat. night so I will not bore you with the details, rather just let you be joyous in the fact that you will see me very soon! hahaha It sure will be a very busy weekend. So who is going to be home on friday? I will be there friday-and leave on monday. Thats my time line. I think , let me know what you think? ....Pat and willys??? Do we have time? IF not thats ok too, just an idea. Well ladies I guess I will see you soon. love you lots

Commemerative Compilation

So, I had an idea this morning that we should put together a cd or two of classic "getting ready to go out" songs to listen to on the 25th. Now I need to ask all of you for suggestions. I've got an idea or two, but I think I need some input on this one...so I put it out there for you ladies to tell me what you want to hear :) Could make the evening just that much more entertaining.

Random Day I Would Say

It all starts on Wed night. I was working at Mr.Mikes and it was quite busy. For some reason I ended up helping Brandi close (only usually one person closes) and Chris (works in the kitchen) came over to me to see if I wanted to play poker...... hmmmm odd considering I only played with them once before but I was game. Plus he said that a few of his "cute" friends were coming to play so that caught me hook line and sinker.
Jared, Sean (whom I met before) and Jeff showed up along with a few other Mike's employees. I made it quite far in the game, however I play very passively and my chips just dissappeared slower than some. However I won a hand! Jared and I became pretty close throughout the evening and Sean drove me home (he was driving Jared home as well).
Totally off the subject...... I just realized that my raincoat stinks. EWWWW I don't know what to do about it??? Help!!!!
Ok back to the story. Sean dropped me off and Jared had told me that he had the day off on Thursday. I was staying in Poco so thought that we should hangout. I gave him my number, and really didn't think that he would call me. Thursday morning sure enough.... he called!!!!! We hung out the WHOLE day. I quite like this guy. Reminds me of Jonny (I know but better than nothing). He is 6 foot 5 and skinny but has some muscle def. just the way I like it. We watched a movie(Beetlejuice), played frisbee golf (don't recommend it yawnnnn...), took his dog for a walk in the woods, went out for sushi (like it if it doesn't involve ginger or a seaweed wrap, the tuna is great), then I went to his soccer game and met a few of his friends! Wow this has been a great day!
I also found out that I got the job at the restaurant downtown, so no more commute for me!
Ironic really. I move out of Coquitlam downtown........ and meet a guy from Coquitlam. He has a car and it will be worth the commute to see him! :) Have a great weekend girls!
Peace, Amanda

Have you gals checked out the countdown lately?

Wow we're down to like 8 days and something. Absolutely insanse if you ask me. As for teaching days I'm down to 8, which is not a bad thing. This afternoon was pretty crazy as sports day had to be cancelled due to rain. If it rains again tomorrow I may have to literally tear my hear out. Actually no I already booked the tv, hehe. My mom's bday was the other night and we went to Merchant Man and afterwards she came upstairs to get her present and she was like whoa we have to get some pics and the wall and stuff before the girls all get home. So true but who has the time. I finished my report cards last night, as in they're signed and sealed. Woo woo. I'm staying after school today since it's fairly miserable out to do some more work. Then maybe I won't have to come in both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Oh my God though it's just so insane. I'm still biffing stuff in the garbage and trying to box things and dust. I'm presently going through all the cassette tapes she left behind trying to decide what to keep and what to chuck. Marla and I figure we'll probably head out this weekend as 1. It is the weekend, 2. It is summer and 3. We just love it!! Only Saturday though so I'll have to find other ways of entertaining myself Friday night. Well better get this done so I can make it to UFIT.Love you all,
CT

there is a blog..... pretty neat. Interesting!

too hot?

I am quite amused at how humid it is in Ontario and Quebec? Shouldn't it be just as hot here? hmmmm.....
I am also still floored at the craziness at Dannys. SHUT THE DOOR!!!!!!
Went on a date lastnight, however...... he was just too hot! I know that is just terrible(haha) but it is true. He looks like Josh Hartnet(sp?)! Not quite sure if it went well. The convo. was great (but hell I can talk to a rock and have a great conversation). We do have alot in common, as per our love for 80's music. Marla you have to tell Heather that he played our "Josie's on a vacation" song and I almost lost it! If all else fails I got a 40$ meal/drinks paid for and he didn't shove me out the door as he dropped me off. He said he would call me? hahahahaha
I quit West 49. I have an interview at a restaurant called Martinis (across from MEC,which could be a bad thing) very Gahan House/Rum Runners-ish. I am hopeful for this, as they said that they keep their staff at a minimal so everyone works lots of hours. I will be able to quit Mr. Mikes and actually be in the city all the time. I am getting sick of the commute....... I know I know you guys can say, "I told you so."
Well I hope to hear from you all soon. May I also say how envious I am that you all get to see eachother soon. Please remember me as you enjoy your time together. Have a Keiths in my honour.
Love yas all, Amanda xo

"Falling in love is the closest thing to being at the Grand Prix for the first time"

Pam I really hope you can come home!!! CT and Marla...sounds like you had quite the night! I guess the message is to wear lots of layers when going to 69 Orlebar. :)
This was a crazy weekend in Montreal because of the Grand Prix. (That was the slogan on their website...you should see the pic that goes with it.) There are lots of streets blocked off and bars made fake patios, so everyone was drunk in the street. There were also some concerts...mainly cover bands. I've never seen so many Ferraris...they were everywhere! One place on Sherbrooke there were 4 red Ferraris parked in a line. Yesterday evening Darc and I went to a potluck with his class in Mt. Royal park. Apparently you can drink wine in the park as long as you're eating food too. Only in Quebec!!! (We forgot our wine but the park was full of people with coolers of beer and wine so I guess it's true.) After the potluck we went to Mike's (D's friend) apt because he has A/C and a pool. We played frisbee in the pool and enjoyed the A/C but sadly we eventually had to come home to our apt/sauna. It's so humid here already today. Humidex of 34 as of 10am. We also have a pool in our building but it's pretty tiny and has been closed for about 3 weeks for "major works". It was open yesterday so Darc and I went for a swim. All they did was put up a wall to make the pool area smaller. Although we were very excited to find that the room feels air conditioned so we're going to hang out by the pool today...too bad it's not open 24/7. 13 days girls!!

25th weekend

Hello ladies, well I know we are all getting fairly excited for the 25th aren't we? I am still hoping to be able to make it considering its been so danm long since we have all been together. However I cannot find anyone to work my friday night shift nor my saturday night movie . So if I can't find someone soon I'll have to stay :( not fun at all. Anyways I just thought I would give you a heads up on that. Talk to you later
Pam

Strip 3-man anyone?

All right, well as you can imagine Marla and I had another interesting evening last night. We actually went out on Wednesday night but I obviously didn't really drink seeing as it was a school night but we checked out both Gahan and Peake's. Both sucked and were very young. So last night Nellsy called and invited us to Danny's party for Stephen Liu. Marla came and got me and luckily there is liquor store right by my new apt. and we got there at about 10 to 10. Went over to Danny's and the big party turned out to be Danny, Jay, Chris, Neil and Steve. So we joined in and true to Chris style he got a game of 3-man going. PS Jay left because he's a pussy and hadto work in the morning. So I ended up being 3 man a lot and while I was 3 man Stephen Liu gave me 12 drinks. Then he made up a rule, whenever a 3 was rolled the girls took off an article of clothing. Well my ring came off before I was able to reverse the rule. Then the boys rolled one again and reversed our reversal. Well lets just say we ran out of jewellery. Marla I know we said what happened at 69 Orlebar stays at 69 Orlebar but this is too funny really. So I was wearing a tunic and a white tank top under with no bra. So finally I had my belt off, my jeans undone and rolled down once when I took off the tunic. Neil enjoyed this so much that he grabbed Danny's spray bottle for his plant and continued to spray me until my left boob was fairly see through. Marla however wasn't wearing two shirts, she was wearing a tube top with a bra. So off came her bra and oops down went her shirt. Apparently the guys got an eyeful and judging by the grin on Neil's face for the rest of the night he really got a show. So we had just put our clothes back on when Chris' new woman and her friends arrived. I fought Stephen Liu for his camera as there were some unattractive pictures but in the struggle we're pretty sure he broke his camera which was fun of course. Again I was wearing new but cute shoes as was Marla. We walked down to Peakes where it wasn't half bad. Shaydid was playing (oh the midgets eh Amanda? ) Jeff MacDonald decided he was spending the night with me nad we were going to cuddle but I did lose him later on i nthe evening. In fact I lost everyone when I stopped to talk to Rebecca. We all walked back to Danny's and I went along because it was Steve's last night and luckily he piggy backed me for awhile for my poor little footsies. Got back to Danny's and we were talking about retarded stuff and it was just funny really. For some reason Steve was trying to give foot massages that he learned in physio. Marla didn't like that too much andthe quote of the night would most definitely be when Stephen Liu said to Marla "Do you know where your toe is? " Poor fella was keeled over awhile. Then for some reason he tackled me off the couch. Craziness really. Through all of this Chris and the woman were in the front bedroom with the door open. What the hell!! But I wasn't getting up to shut it that's for sure. Left around 4 and headed home to bed. It's presently 12:15 on a Saturday and I'm in my classroom doing some housecleaning because I have a shittload to do and I don't want to be stuck doing it when Michelle's home. Hope everyone else had a great weekend.
Love you all,
CT

My weekend

Hi All,

How was your weekend? Lynds, sounds like you took advantage of the nice weather. As for me, I spent Friday night with the boys of El Torpedo. I think I mentioned before that I recently found out that Tim Baker, a really old family friend of mine is the drummer for Matt Mays. So, they were in town this weekend and I decided to get in touch. He invited me and my roomie, Audra, to come by and hang out at soundcheck. We made it just as they were finishing their last song. Tim came right over and gave me a great big hug. He's such a cutie. He seems to be exactly the same as the last time I saw him which was about 6 or 7 years ago. We chatted for a bit and he introduced us to the rest of the band and their manager. Matt and the other guitar player, Jarrett, had to go to Much for MOD, so we went for a couple drinks with Tim and Andy, the bass player. I've developed a crush on him. He was such a nice guy. They went back to the hotel to get ready and we made it back to the concert just before they played. They were on for an hour and a half and were awesome. CT, I forgot to tell you that I saw Ryan O'Connor there and was talking to him. Pretty funny. After the show we stuck around and had a couple drinks with Tim and talked to the other guys for a bit. around 3:30 they'd finally packed up all the gear and Audra and I decided to head home. It was so much fun. They're going to be playing Ch'town on Canada Day, so the plan is to try and hook up for a bit with Tim before the concert. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed. Some of my pics are at http://picturecenter.kodak.ca/view/kpcViewSmall.jsp;jsessionid=aTP0yFzwX1ke?machineid=002&containerID=1755055490 if you want to take a look. Last night I went to my friend Carolyn's boyfriend's house for a night out. a few of their friends came over and the boys played poker. It was nice to just get away from here for awhile. However, today I've been totally useless and haven't gotten anything done. I have a huge list of stuff to do tomorrow. Oh, and today was about 34 with the humidity. kind of gross. I heart smog! That's it for me. Hope you all had great weekends and I'll be at the reunion in 20 days!!!

Love, MC

Another beautiful day!!

I love summer!! Not that it is officially summer...I'm waiting for June 25th for that. :) Yesterday I walked up to Beaver Lake which is at the top of Mount Royal at spent the afternoon reading and listening to my pod. Then Darc and I ate dinner on our balcony and I met Julie and Jane for sangria in the evening. Today D and I are off to the International Beer Festival. We're supposed to have thunder showers sometime today but so far it's still sunny. Hopefully it stays this way so we can enjoy the drinks outside. Three weeks from today is our reunion!!!! It's going to be awesome. We should make brownies for old times sake.
Lynds

MIA

I have been Missing In Action for sometime now. Not sure where I have been, maybe at work! I can't deal with this constant "work" thing. But that is what I must suck up and do if I want to travel!
I don't know who Matt Alas (s.p.) is but weird that he hangs out with Darcy, considering Darcy is not from PEI, but isn't his girlfriend?
I am super tired now and have to go to work again. I have 4 hours inbetween jobs and thought I would say hello and let you all know I am alive.
I don't get some of the quotes, but I laugh anyway. If I think of some I will sure contribute. I'm sure they will come to me in the middle of the night or something!
Peace Amanda xoxo

Remember when...

All right I've got some new ones. Who remembers watching Disney movies at Lyndsay's to look for hidden sex messages. I can remember a certain section of the Little Mermaid we must have paused at least 5 times to look at the priest's anatomy. Oh Miss Rowe. Mr. Hanky, also at Lyndsay's. Oh the days before we used to drink... Remember the time we bought like 5 different quarts to make shooters and made a total of like 3. I think I still have some of those bottles, they'll be moving to the apt. with me. Who remembers eating and eating at bbq's at my house. I believe there was a cheesecake some forks and some sheets in the washing maching if I recall correctly. Walks from the University to Subway. Studying for Micro in the middle of the night in Main with Mark and Marcel hiding under the table giggling. 3 man! good times, bernard. The ever classic, "I'm not running a whorre house!" Oh the list could go on and on... All I've got for now, going to the movies to see Madagascar.
Love you all,
CT

The countdown is on...

Yipee!

I'm impressed that we've all managed to organize ourselves to get home on the same day...now just keep your fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong. I think that in order to ensure that we actually make it to Peake's early enough to ensure that we don't have to stand in line for 4 hours, we should lay down some ground rules...

1. All hair, make up and outfits must be complete before the commencement of drinking
2. We must set an alarm to ensure that we remember what time we're supposed to leave and don't totally forget that we plan to go to the bar

That's really all I've got so far. I know I'm the worst for doing my hair and make up at the last minute. Who knows...if we all do it BEFORE we start drinking, maybe we'll look even better! I know that it's not possible for us to look better, but there's always a chance. Also, since we'll all be home we can get the party started REALLY early and then there will be no excuses for lot going out, such as we didn't get enough time to spend with each other. It's not that I don't want to spend tons of time with you ladies, it's just that this will be my only opportunity yo go to Peake's for the entire summer, and I don't want to miss out, not to mention that the band is Shameless!!! Alright, the countdown is on...t-minus 23 days and counting.

MC

Summer at last!

I have been reading the blog and laughing at all the memories...good times, good times. I keep thinking of things to add then forgetting them when I am on the computer. I am so excited that it is now June 1st! That means that I have 21 days until my last clinical day. 22 days until my last day of school. AND....23 days until I come home!!!!!!!! Yes, that's right...I'm flying into Halifax June 24th then Dad is coming to get us. All for the sake of being home on the 25th to celebrate the beginning of summer with my girls!!! I miss you! I'm so excited for summer. Especially since today it actually looks and feels like summer.
Love, Lynds
