My Last Night in Canada for a while...

So here I am, still awake knowing that I have to be at the airport in about 5 hours. I decided on my last night here I would watch one of my favorite episodes of sex and the city. Its the one where Big leaves NYC, Carrie wears one of my FAVORITE outfits and Miranda has her baby.

It has such a great quote in it, and I thought it was very fitting right now.
I wanted to share it with you..

"It was official a new season had begun. Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate, without them what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies or be who we are. After all seasons change, so do cities, people come into your life, and people go but its comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart and if your very lucky a plane ride away."

Love ya!

Ps. another word of wisdom.. coming from a girl who does a lot of goodbyes.. keep the hugs short people!!! Long hugs are the killers!! :)

A thought, a theory, a vent?

A theory about people...

In essence, people do what they WANT to do. Everyone will make time for the things that are important to them. Whether this is a person, a relationship or a job. When people are "busy" they are really saying that they are doing the things that are most important to them at the time. I mean as busy as I ever am, I always make time for the things that count. People count, friendships count, boyfriends count, family counts!

I read "hes just not that into you" YEARS ago.. and recently watched the movie, which by the way I didn't like :) But that theory really is true. if a guy isnt making an effort or going out of their way for you they dont like you enough. (People make time for the the things that are important to them.) Therefore you shouldnt waste your time. We as women make up excuses about how our men are " going though a hard time" or they are "busy" with their all important jobs. This is all bullshit. If a person really wants to be around you they will. They will make the time, The End. If a person is super busy and has a craving for an ice cream cone they will make time to go out and get it. If that ice cream will make them happy at that exact moment they will make time for it. People do what they want to do, not that hard to understand.

This theory is super simple and its something I have always thought. I am not perfect by any means and at times I got caught up in the "excuses" that we tell ourselves about relationships. (This includes friendships too) Oh they are busy, their job is important, they went away for the weekend. Hello!!?? They did those things because it was important to them. If you weren't involved in any of those things that sucks, but has reality set in yet?

Bottom Line... people make time for things that are important to them... people make time for the things that make them happy....

just a thought...

Random Tid Bits about Me!

Once i started doing this 25 random things about myself on Face book I couldn't stop. So I thought I should post it on here too! I usually hate forwards but I loved reading and writing this one. So fun!! I hope people keep doing them cause they are so fun to read. It may seem daunting at first. But really once you start its fairly easy. I am going to add more as I think of them.

1. I cannot pronounce the word anxiety for some reason.

2. I played piano for 9 years, and I still cant read notes. I played by ear and my teachers hated me for it.

3. I can play the accordion and am a wicked good water skier.

4. My first concert was Garth Brooks

5. When I was young I used to wear a lot of baseball hats. Until one day an old women looked at me told her husband to “let the little boy through”. I didn’t wear a baseball hat until university.

6 I want to become an artist, paint amazing pictures and call my company “electric panda”

7. There are two pictures of me in the 1992 World Series book.

8. I still don’t understand the Toronto subway system, even though I have been on some of the most confusing subway systems in the world.

9. I played a lot of basketball in high school. I was known as "basketball girl" for my entire high school career.

10. I sang in a country and pop music band. We took singing lessons and at one point I thought my pop group would grow to be the next SPICE GIRLS!

11.I was in the Marty Stuart fan club. (Goggle him, he’s hilarious)

12.I waited 30 hours at a Walmart for an Nsync autograph. I was also on Much Music Intimate and Interactive with 98 degree's.

13. I’m not ready to "settle down" and this is why I love to travel so much

14. I had 21 gerbils at one point in my life

15. I have a fear of snakes, and just recently found out I am REALLY scared of iguanas.

16 I STILL watch survivor

17. I don't like wearing bikinis.

18. I love wigs and will ALWAYS love a good theme party.

19. Two of my favorite kid shows were Belle and Sebastian and the show “Once upon a Hamster”

20 I sleep with my stuffed caterpillar every night.

21. When I worked at blacks we did a lot of photo shoots. Years later I found out that my picture was put on a CD.

22 I wanted to be a cowgirl for the majority of my childhood years.

23. When I was around 10 my mom tried to throw out my favorite bouncy horse. I stole it back and hid it in the shed

24. I used to have a re-accurring dream about Yoda chasing me and my sister with a butcher knife

25. I laugh at the silliest things and I really can’t explain why. A good laughing fit could last from 20 minutes, to an hour, to all day long.

26. I was in brownies, girl guides and pathfinders. It was some of the best times of my life and I would totally put my daughter in it. I think it made me into a stronger and more adventurous person.

27. I believe in God, and want to be a highschool religion teacher. Religion in general is pretty interesting to me. Many people think that if they go to a Catholic school they are forced to believe in its dogma. I think people need to understand religion before choosing to believe it or not. I want to be the teacher who makes religion interesting not forced. Students should understand it in a comfortable atmosphere, think about it and than make up their mind what is important to them.

28. I wish I was RICH!! But in the end I would choose love over money any day.

29. I watched 90210 in my parents room even though my dad told me I couldn't.

30. I took gymnastics and dance. I am double jointed and can do wonky things with my arms. People made fun of my wonky legs, so i taught myself how to keep them straight.

31. Sometimes I fear that I am easily forgotten.

32. I don't fall in love easily, but when i do, i fall hard.

33. I was very proud of the fact that the main character in the cartoon My little Pony's name was Megan.

The good and bad thing about leaving..

I just wanted to share my fabulous weekend with everyone.

The good thing about leaving the country is that it makes me want to see as many people as possible before the big departure. The bad thing about leaving is being reminded how much you love hanging out with said people and realizing how much you will miss them all.

This weekend was full of laughs, love and LOTS of friends.

Friday I drove into Toronto to meet up with Jay (who just got back from Korea about 2 weeks ago) and Mike and Allison. I was suppose to meet up with Jay at a Mississauga bus station but apparently the Grey hound does not go to Mississauga, so me and Alli went to union station to pick him up instead. We picked the BEST possible day to drive around downtown. (notice the sarcastic tone) There was this HUGE demonstration going on ALL around the city and they ended up closing down a lot of streets because of it. while I was waiting for jay to come to the car some people actually surrounded me and starting yelling.. to say the least I wanted to get out of there. A little later me and Alli dragged Jay to the Eaton Centre and made him go shopping with us. poor little guy.. but we did take him to a couple boy stores to cheer him up.

I was asked to be in Mike and Allison's wedding party this summer, which I plan on flying back for. The fun part is that I am going to be on Mikes side. Allison and I were talking about what I would wear... and I might be able to wear a SUIT!! yeah yeah!! i get to be a groomsmen.. or i guess it would be grooms woman! amazing!! so I plan on getting a custom made suit made for myself in Iteawon. So excited!

Later that day we met up with mike and had a drink, then went walking down queen street for a bit where we went into some shops. It was there that i found a 20 dollar brand name bikini! SCORE! (not that your at all interested but it made me excited at the time)
For the rest of the night we hung out played games and enjoyed each others company. I love those nights when you laugh so hard your stomach muscles hurt. I hadn't had one of those in a while and it was much needed. I also love the feeling of total comfort that you only have with certain people. Wearing whatever, saying whatever, doing whatever you know that they will always love you and never judge you.

The next day, I met up with my friend Alescia who was someone I used to work with back in Blacks days. We hung out a lot back than and stayed in touch as much as possible throughout the years. She is one of the most amazing people I know, and has decided to be a midwife. Every time I see her or hang out with her I feel truly inspired and empowered as a woman. Shes awesome! We hung out and caught up and I will for sure see her again before I leave. This is what I tend to do, either reconnect with old friends right before I leave on another one of my adventures or start a relationship. I have done this so many times that it doesnt even surprise me anymore. Oh of course I would start a relationship right before Im leaving the country. Or of course I would remember how much I loved my old friend right before I leave. Im crazy!

Today I got to go to a super bowl party. Now, I have no real interest in football nor did i even know what teams were playing.. but i DO enjoy a good get together and there were lots of people going who I love hanging out with. It was such a GREAT time!! It is almost annoying how much fun I had tonight. I say annoying because I am leaving.. and I reminded myself how much fun my friends are. University was one of the best times of my life and I truly believe I left with the best bunch of friends possible. Every time I get to hang out with them, I wonder why I don't do it more.

This weekend ended with a GREAT feeling. I was so happy to hang out with three totally different group of people. All with different lives, different ideas and different goals. I am so lucky to have such a diverse group of friends who are all special in their own way. I love you ALL so much and will miss you like crazy!!

Where ever I decide to live, what ever I decide to do these are the important relationships in my life.. These are the ones that will last..

Oh PS.. I cant wait till my BiRFday weekend!! Next Saturday is going to be FABULOUS! MoD Club see ya there!
