So maybe we'll rent a cottage next May 2-4

So camping was bad. The campground was super sucky and dirty and crazy and gross. It rained and it was freezing cold. All the people around us were partying, but apparently that includes driving around drunk and using the car tires to get everything covered in mud. It was pretty gross. Security was too busy smoking up to do anything. There was even an OD, and someone got hit by a car. Yay, fun. You wanna know how bad it was?? We left early. Yes, you read that right. We left a day early. We've never done that before, not when we were flooded, not when it snowed. That's how bad it was.

Then were was the fact that Jess did nothing. Seriously, besides come and buy the groceries with me, she did nothing. She didn't cook, she didn't clean. She didn't boil her own water. She didn't even do her own laundry after she puked all over it!!! She barely helped put the tents up or down. And then she refused to help me clean them and the car once we got home. So I'm never going camping with her again.

And then there was Kasia. She tried to pimp me out, and yelled at everyone so much that Krystal snapped on her. Yes, Krystal. And then she ran into the forest, fell, and expected everyone to run to her aid.

Whatever, I'm not mad at Kasia. She apologized for it. Jess, on the other hand, seems to feel she's justified because we 'forced' her to go. Right.

So I've planned the Tobermory trip. It's set for the weekend after Canada Day, because my mom has the weekend off. So far, it's me, my mom, Nelson, Gaby, Ela, Kasia, Tom, and Jack. And Lucky. It should be fun. I've figured out where all the pretty places are, and Jack's been there before, so it should be good. Hopefully.

Also, we rented a cottage. It's right at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, on the beach, about 9 km from Tobermory. It's me, my mom, Ela, Nelson, Gaby, and Lucky. It has three bedrooms, five beds, a beach, a fire pit, a hot tub. And it has bikes and a kayak. And there's part of a boat sunk underwater about 50 ft from the shoreline.

We've also got tons planned. We're gonna go on one of those glass-bottom boats and see the shipwrecks and the islands. And then we're also gonna try and go one of the days to Manitoulin Island. It sounds pretty fun. And to the beach at Lion's Head, 'cause it looks super nice.

I'm super happy, though. I've got stuffed planned for every weekend for the next month. And then for half the weekends after that. There's a two bday parties, the trailer, Kasia's friend's camping, Edgefest......and I still have to fit sauble and wasaga, and maybe Gavin's cottage....

But yeah, so I applied to school again. For Advertising. Starting in Jan 2009. Well, one of the programs I applied to starts in Sept. So hopefully I get in. I'd like to do something with my life, instead of being unqualified for anything. So we'll see how that goes. I should know soon enough.

I'm also applying to an editorial writer position. I kinda hope I get it. It's a three month internship. It'd be nice. But we'll see, I may not get it because I never finished journalism. Yeah, it sucks. I've found so many jobs that I want, that aren't necessarily journalism, but they want either COMM degree, or PR or journalism. Yeah, I suck.

Anyways, my head is pounding now. So off to take my tylenol/advil, and then bed. Hopefully it helps.

Camping this weekend!!!

So super quick update:

Camping is this weekend. Def looking forward to it!! It's gonna be me, Jess, Kasia, Tom, Arek, Gavin, Robin, Jarx, and Krystal. Not as many as before, but that might work out better anyways. Most of the people missing from last year to this year aren't too important to me, so I'm good with that. But Ela's not coming, and neither is Jack. Ela is being retarded and choosing the lab over this, and I don't know what's wrong with Jack 'cause I'm no longer speaking to him. Not the end of the world that they're not coming, but it'd be nice if they were there.

I'm super glad that I have all the camping shit I need. I had to buy a new tent, but I really like it. And I bought three new camping sticks, which Dayle is not allowed to touch!! But everything else, I had. And so me, Jess, Kasia, Tom, and Arek are going in my car. That's gonna be fun. Hopefully it goes well. I'm so not getting involved in the shotgun fight between Jess and Kasia. Good luck to both.

But Sauble should be fun. Hopefully it's more exciting than Kearney. 'Cause that was getting super sucky. So hopefully there's ppl there partying, maybe some boys for me and Jess....and I guess girls for Arek. And I'm making tacos!! We'll see how well that works out.

Still have no job. I did go on four interview in the last week, so hopefully I'll hear from one of them soon. Some are pretty good, I wouldn't mind working there. And Kasia emailed the lady at the media employment agency to tell her that I'm interested in a job that she'd mentioned to Kasia, which would be really freaking awesome!! I know I could do it, I mean, I can run the programs they need, like Adobe and Quark and Flash and all that. The only problem I have is with the portfolio. I mean, I have work I've done, but we all know me and my shitty way of taking care of important stuff, so I'm not even sure I could find it if I needed it. But I'll email anyways and give it a shot. The worse they can say is no, and all I'll have lost is 5 minutes of my life emailing them.

I'm also thinking of planning a camping trip to Tobermory for the Civic holiday. My mom has that weekend off, so it'd be nice to go. I'm gonna invite a few other ppl, and hopefully it's a good time. I'm not too positive where in Tobermory is that nice area that I want to go to, but I'll find it!! If I'm good at one thing, it's research. I'll make it happen.

So also, there's Pat's bday camping. So looking forward to that. Kasia and Tom are coming now too. I hope that goes well. I know a few of the ppl going are not her biggest fan, so I really hope there's no drama. I like the drama-freeness of that group. So fingers crossed.

So today I finally went to Salad King. It's the Thai restaurant that Rose really wanted to go to. It's weird, because it's cafeteria-style tables and ppl sit next to each other, but it was super good. I really liked it. I had my mango salad, and I was so happy. I love that mango salad. I should look up how to make it. Except it prolly wouldn't taste the same.

Anyways, busy day tomorrow. I have to do laundry, get a few things I'm still missing from the grocery store, go to the dollar store, pack all my clothes, pack the food into the cooler, pack all the camping stuff (stove, kitchen tent, chairs, bbq, propane, etc) into my car, go to my doctor's appt, and go to a job interview. Oh, and I have to go to Canadian Tire to refill the big propane tanks for the home bbq, and get a cast iron pot. Yeah, I'm screwed. Oh, yeah, and go to the LCBO. Yay for procrastination!!

So yeah, it's so bedtime now. Nighty night.
