I'm sitting outside at my parents patio table, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee, enjoying the last bit we have of summer here, and re-evaluating life/life decisions.
I had one of the longest, most tiring weekends of my life this weekend. Let me recap.
I had booked off Friday from work to go to Regina's Folk Fest with my older brother (him and Jenna bought me a weekend pass for their "thankyou for being part of our special day" present) Anyways, I decided to go to Saskatoon with my day off. I drove there in the morning, with plans to do Rhoda's hair and hang out with Chad. That was pretty much all I had planned. I think I'm going to stop making plans actually, they never work out for me. Anyways, I made it to Saskatoon, and met Christine for lunch, she headed off to work, and I headed off to my hair appointment with Rhoda. We fixed my hair up, and I ventured on my way, PLANNING to meet her at Steve's house to do her bridal hair trial. I then went and saw Jamie at work and tried to get my cell phone fixed to kill time. Then I met up with Katie East and went to grab a beer. We sat in Amigo's and one beer turned into 4 and it was 7:30 before we realized it. I was supposed to meet Rhoda at 7, so by the time we actually paid for our beers, and i dropped Katie off at home, and got to Rhoda's it was a bit before 8:30. I told chad that I would meet him at around 8 or 9... I did Rhoda's hair in a drunken state, burning my arm with a curling iron, and had Rhoda's fiance Steve feed me drinks as I was entertaining them. I defianetly got Rhoda a bit drunk and we decided to go to Amigo's with Katie. We picked her up, and smoked a bowl with Katie's room mate before heading to Amigos. Being there is actually quite a little bit of a blur. I do remember throwing up in a back alley, and seeing Chad and him being so unimpressed to see me because I ditched. Hence, why I hate making plans, because they don't work out. And they don't work out because it's always my fault and that is why I'm a horrible person. Anyways, we picked up a certain fellow named joey, dropped rhoda off at home, hung out outside of 7-11 drinking coffee and i have no idea what else, or what order that all happened in. Katie's friend Jim, Joey Katie and I headed back to Katie' house so I could get an amazing hour of sleep before I had to wake up and drive back to Yorkton to go to work at 9:30 am. By the time we stopped drunken visiting and actually fell asleep, I only had a quick 20 minutes-ish of shut eye. Woke Joey and myself up, dropped him off at home (I think I have a bit of a crush actually. He is really the nicest person, and cuddled with me that night and kissed me, and when I dropped him off at home he told me I really should visit more, and that he will teach me how to play guitar on my birthday, and I drunkenly asked him if he would be my date to Rhoda's wedding and he said yes if I remember correctly. He makes me smile lots, and reminds me way to much of my older brother who I adore, and would totally date if he wasn't my brother haha) so I was on my way and cruising down home. 15 minutes outside of Yorkton my car broke down so I pulled off to the side of the rode, and it started smoking. I got out and walked away from it because I didn't know if it was going to explode or anything (obviously I know nothing about cars) and it was raining, and i was crying because it was 9 in the morning and I worked at 930 and actually can't be late or I will get fired. AND NO BODY STOPPED TO HELP ME! Finally an older gentleman picked me up and I phoned my dad and he came and we miraculously made it home to work after I had been crying for the past hour, hungover, and sad I don't live in Saskatoon anymore. Shitty day at work.
My brother picked me up after work and we drove to Regina and made it to the folk fest just in time to see chad vangaalen who I will not lie, I enjoyed 100 percent more when he played alone compaired to a band. Anyways, saw some great bands, and I saw some cute boys, and big crowds freak meout so I sat at the back and it was great. We went and met Kristen and her room mate Jenn at Denny's while we waited for Erica and Lacy to meet us and stayed there untill 2:30 ish? went to Kristens, and by the time we all stopped visiting/getting ready for bed/ making our beds, it was around 3/3:30ish.... incredibly long day. The next day we woke up, I went and bought a dress to wear because I didn't bring any cool clothing and it wwas hot outside and we went to folk fest and saw sets by matt goud, andy shaud, corb lund, the good lovelies, mark berube, ghost beers, and chad vangaalen. We then went for supper where I had a 15 dollar beer, and continued on for the night to see LOUDON WAINWRIGHT! who was really funny and charming and great..... I can't really remember who else played that evening, except for corb lund, who'se set I probably enjoyed the most. I don't even like country music at all, but I really was a big fan. It may have to with the fact that he is actually a real cowboy who writes cowboy songs, and songs about the prairies, or that he's tall and slim, who knows, I just liked it lots. So we got in the car after the finale of Joy To the world with all of the performers from the weekend and continued home. I didn't fall asleep las tnight untill 4ish because I was talking to joey? and then I woke up this morning and had a slow day at work. Right now I'm going to go to the hospital.
Anyways, my plans don't go as planned. I planned to move to Saskatoon and work there, epic fail hence why I'm home because I'm broke, I planned on hanging out with Chad, again.... epic fail because I suck balls and am kind of an alcoholic and get really distracted, I planned to go to halifax in october, and very well may not be going because i have to figure out about my mode of transportation problem... and now i am planning to go to the bank to deposit money, and then go to the hospital and get some medicine because I think I have pnemonia.... sweet
sorry for the essay.
