Wasting away in the Tropics
It is sooooooo hot here in Ottawa. I believe it's currently around 40 or so with the humidex. A little sticky for my liking. No A/C in the new place either, so I basically just have to sit directly in front of my one little fan and hope for the best. I'm getting groceries on the way home and I'm going to try to get a fan. Hopefully they're not totally sold out from the heat wave. Dad's coming to visit next week and I've got my fingers crossed that he loves me enough to buy me an air conditioner.
In other news, I'm all moved in to the new apartment and I love it. I still have a few little things to do and it's messy already, but it's all mine and I don't have to worry about a creepy ass landlord coming in when I'm not home and leaving the toilet seat up as evidence that he was there. On the contrary, my new building manager, Mo, seems like a really cool guy. Around our age I think. He left me a message yesterday to tell me how to buzz people in to the building and told me to give him a call to let him know how the apartment's working out. The only complaint so far is the heat, but that's to be expected on the 16th floor when it's 36 degrees outside and you still don't have any curtains up to block out the sun. I'll post pics when I'm finished decorating.
This weekend Pegs, Hugh and I are off to Montreal for the night on Saturday to take part in the International Beer Festival with the Lynds and crew. I believe there will be a reunion with Matt Allas that should provide some entertainment. I don't think I've seen him since second year university. If all his talk on their blog about how much money he makes and Lynds' stories about how he likes to share it around are true, then it should be a really good night. It'll be back here bright and early on Sunday because Pegs remembered she's supposed to go see Chicago at 2:00 that afternoon. As long as I get something greasy for breakfast before we head out, I should be ok. It'll be back to O-Town for a couple of nights, then I'm going back to Montreal on Wednesday to see Snow Patrol with Lynds. Should be fun. I'll be in town for a grand total of about 12 hours. Better be a good concert. My dad's in town the next day and, if I'm lucky, I think he's bringing some lobster. Yum!!
I should end this since I'm still at work, but I think we need an update from our friends in the West. Marla and Amanda....where are you? Marla, I think I've gathered from your MSN name that Meredith's visiting. I hope you have fun! Amanda, I think you've dropped off the face of the earth. What date exactly are you both going to be home? I can't wait to go out on the town! Pam, you'll have to update us on your new place. Kendra, I want to hear about the job when you get a chance and CT, let me know when you book your plane ticket!!!
K, Really gotta go. About to wet my pants. Miss you all and you better post soon.

Peer Pressure
Matt will still be here the weekend of June 3rd. He's writing the CFA test here on June 3rd so that Saturday night is going to be crazy. We've already decided on making a stop at the beer festival. I'm sure there will be lots of other places too. Do you know yet if you can come for Snow Patrol??? My fingers are crossed.
Love, Lynds

Hilarious website!!!
Here are my top 4 results:
~ Kate Hudson 74%
~ Christina Ricci 74%
~ Paula Abdul 73%
~ Charlize Theron 73%
I also tried it with another pic...
~ Mischa Barton 74%
~ Sofia Coppola 74%
~ Reese Witherspoon 73%
~ Penelope Cruz 73%
Only 4 celebs were matched to both pics - Penelope Cruz(I wish!), Anne Hathaway, Christina Ricci & Alyssa Milano. I don't see the resemblance!! I was matched with a lot of other random celebs...including Eva Longoria, Lucille Ball, and even Michael Keaton!!
It's another rainy day here!! I miss the sun...it's been so long since I've seen it! I'm pumped for Ottawa this weekend. I'm still a little scared of the 10km but you're allowed to walk so I won't kill myself girls. MC is also going to try to come to Montreal for June 6th (and hopefully the weekend before!!) to see Snow Patrol. I'm so excited!! I also realized that the beer festival is on that weekend. http://www.festivalmondialbiere.qc.ca/ We'd have so much fun MC!! ;) See you soon.
Hope everyone's having a great weekend.
Love, Lynds

www.myheritage.com
- Paula Abdul 73%
- Geri Halliwell 70%
- Jessica Alba 68%
- Chelsea Clinton 66%
- Alicia Silverstone 66%
- Naomi Campbell 63%
I totally see the resemblence, don't you? Entertaining to say the least. Jessica Alba I'll take, but Paula Abdul?? Not so sure about that one.
I hope you all have more exciting plans for the long weekend than me. I'm going to try to pack everything so I'll have as much time with Lynds as possible next weekend. I also have to wait for the movers to get Bren's stuff, go shopping for stuff for the apartment with Pegs and hopefully stain my bedframe because right now it's plain and kind of ugly. I've been at work for 6.5 hours and it feels like 24. It's the day that's never going to end. Still no internet at home, so I'll have to wait until Monday to see if any of you take part in the good times to be had at that website.
Hope you all have great weekends :) Miss you.

I'd come home sooner if I could!!
Help - I need running tips!! I only have two weeks to turn into a runner. :( I need a running fairy godmother to appear. I don't even know how long 10km actually will be. I've asked Matt to figure out a route while he's driving but I'm not holding my breath for him to actually do it. Ok, I'm off to bed. Miss you all lots.

I'll be home before August
Saturday night Beth, Becca, and me went out for a night on the town. Very interesting, and consisted of me playing pool (which I can't do), going to the pacifico, had some lebinese guys buying us roses....and then off to the Ale house (oh and we gave the roses away). Dancing it up at the Alehouse who do I see, Dave Macd. he seemed pretty excited, literally picked me up and was spinning me around, woudln't stop kissing my cheeks (on the face :p ) and I guess he is living here now. I introduced him to Beth who took it upon herself to work it, I mean, dance all up on him and then later she asked me if he was gay! hahaha I was like don't say that! Anyway it was a funny night. We took a cab to Alexanderas, which is a pizza place but have really really good poutine and just built a new one up here beside my apartment. So we ate there and then got the pizza delivery guy to drive us home!! hahaha it was funny.
Well I should go and get ready for work. I'll be home in July CT and maybe even in June...who knows!! :) You could always come and visit me when schools out! Visit my new pad! love ya all

I miss the gentle island....
It's been a long time since I've posted. I've been sick ever since I arrived back in MTL but am finally getting better. I meant to post about last weekend...but I guess I forgot. We had a year-end party on May 5th so it was Cinco de Mayo themed. We had a great time...lots of drinks, food and even a pinata. Afterwards, Jules and I decided we needed more drinks so we met up with Darcy and some of his friends and went to a bar. I gave Darcy my keys to hold at some point in the evening and forgot about that until I arrived home at my apartment at 3:00am. Luckily, some people came by so I was able to get into my lobby. I finally reached Darcy and he said he'd bring my keys over right away. Meanwhile, Matt came home so I hung out with him. Darcy did leave right away but left in such a hurry that he got here and realized he not only forgot my keys but left his keys in his apartment too. So we were both locked out. He went back to his place to try and get in (with no luck). So I slept on Matt's futon until 8am Saturday when I decided it was safe to wake up the landlord to get in my apartment. Poor Chloe was pretty upset but had lots of food and water and newspaper to pee on. Darcy also got in his place the next morning after sleeping for a few hours in his apartment doorway. What a weekend...I spent the rest of the weekend trying to catch up on the sleep I missed Friday night.
My last day for my summer job is August 6th. So I'll be home ~Aug.8th until ~Aug.28th!!! I'm very excited! I can't wait. My aunt and cousins will be visiting from Aug. 10th-17th. I would be up for the having the whore house anytime except Aug. 12th because I think we're having a big surprise family thing for my parents that day. Near the end of the summer Jane and Julie might come to visit for a few days and then I could drive back with them.
Miss you.
Love, Lynds

I FINALLY posted my pictures from North Carolina. They're following this post. I think I managed to capture some of the major parts of the Dawson's Creek that we all know and love.
As I commented on one of CT's various posts, I got my apartment this week. I'll be signing the lease this afternoon and then I'll be able to finally breathe a real sigh of relief. Then the next headache will be figuring out when/how to move. It never ends.
I wanted to let you all know that I've decided to move to Australia and find myself a sugar daddy. I've been chatting with Dr. Rob again lately, who's still in Perth, and I decided yesterday that I'm going to move down there and let him support me :P I discovered he's doing quite well for himself (around $135,000 a year) and just bought himself a brand new 3 bedroom house on the beach, so I figure there's more than enough room for me. Pam, you'll appreciate the new car he's saving for...a Porsche SUV. He said a couple times that I should come visit and I'll be sure to inform you all of my departure.
If only the possibility of taking off to the other side of the world to meet up with a guy I only met once was feasible. Life would be sweet if I could just move to Aus and sit on the beach all day while someone else paid the bills. Although when I put it that way, it really doesn't sound like a bad idea, does it?
I should end this now since I am at work and all. I miss you all lots. Talk to you soon.
Love,
MC
"Dawson's Creek"
The park where Pacey and Andy first kissed.
The wall that Pacey bought for Joey. I found this very exciting. Lynds, you'll understand :)
The river boardwalk
Leery's Fresh Fish
I have to say that I definitely wouldn't have recognized most of these places if I hadn't had the little guide sheet thing that told me what everything had been on the show. All in all, I was satisfied with what I saw, although it would have been even greater if the damn studio hadn't been closed to tours because of Easter.
Above you will find the non-Dawson's Creek related pictures from my trip. We were driving along and saw 2 alligators on a golf course. The second one is the view from Mom and Dad's balcony at their condo, and the third one os of the Intra-Costal Waterway that goes from like Florida up to Massachusetts or something. That one makes me thing of 'The Creek' on DC.
Memories...
Well this month has been crazy busy so far, trying to find an apartment, getting my committee together (finally!!), work while my boss taking 2 weeks off etc etc! I'll be happy when this month comes to an end!
So I'm trying to think of a memory, if we were to discuss teachers of the past I think I have too many incidients to recall, wow... Ms. Likley consistently kicking me out of class but wait none of you were in those classes you bunch of frenchies. Oh but I have one, remember the first time we ever got into Myrons. The 45 year old french men getting us in (they were french right??) and yelling "OH my god i can't believe we just got in!!!" and then running for it and ditching the oldies?
Thankfully, we always have my mother to fall back on for the laughable quotes! Thanks mom!! :)And Carolyn at Gahan "oh there's your boyfriend!!!" wow....I'll think of more
Carolyn stop picking on Michelle and her 55 chews per bite, poor thing!! hahaha
