You can't spell 'apron' but you're trying for 'cynical'?!?

Yikes, almost an entire month has passed since my last update... and what a month it's been!

At the beginning of the month I enjoyed a solid week of activities with friends. So so SO much fun! Met a few new people and started the summer off with a bang. I learned a few things too:

- An energy drink will last me five hours. Kind of like Cinderella, as soon as five hours is up I better be damn close to a bed because I'm crashing hard.
- I fail to see the difference between burlesque and strippers. Except I don't think strippers generally wear nipple pasties.
- Some people just don't change. They can say they have, but the truth is they haven't. And chances are they will always be the same. I didn't know it was possible for some people to become even more loud and obnoxious than they already were--another surprise.

So after a week of fun and shenanigans with friends I took some "time off" to recuperate. I went out to my aunt's cabin for a day and re-affirmed the fact that I am a prairie kid through and through. I love driving here. Some people say they need mountains, the ocean, palm trees, whatever... but I love just driving out in the middle of nowhere looking at the trees, fields, and random farm machinery. The best part is the sunsets! :)

I took a little road trip this weekend to help my best friend and her partner with some renos on their house. It was great to see them (and their dogs!) again and was a nice little pick-me-up. A lot of my friends--actually almost everyone I can think of--are coupled. It's kinda awkward sometimes being what feels like the only single person in the entire group. It's hard sometimes when they plan things as couples and I would feel awkward tagging along as the only single person. I found out my ex is on to new girlfriend #3 after me... at least I think that's what the count is. I asked my friends what my problem is. I mean I know I have my quirks, but am I THAT un-dateable? I was told "The difference is you have STANDARDS--you don't just f*ck anything with two legs and a ****". Fair enough lol. Made me feel better anyways. Now I find out that the person I've really really really REALLY liked for like six months now is dating someone else. At least that's what I've concluded after doing some facebook stalking :P So yeah... I give up. But the summer isn't over! And I think Ness Creek weekend could be very interesting. I will be at my best, Shaggy (my hair when it's in need of a cut) will be pimped out with a bandana, and with no showers for four days (unless the lake is warm enough to wash in) I will be caked in multiple layers of deodorant, sweat, bug spray, sunscreen... and I will probably end up wearing some beer too. If that's not hot stuff, I don't know what is! But everyone else will be in more or less the same boat so it's all good! Oh... another thing I learned this weekend: headbanging while speeding down a single-lane highway is not all it's cracked up to be.

A couple of updates on my last blog. The wisdom teeth removal went really well! I've even thought about getting the other two pulled just for the sake of having them out. We'll see what my dentist says though. And Karen got an eviction notice... I refused to bail her out and was kind of hoping this would be her chance to get her shit together, but she went back to an "ex" (they're kinda on and off--another LONG story) and he bailed her out. Must be nice to always have someone enabling you and not forcing you to make much-needed changes in your life.

Anyway that's about it for now. I thought of a ton of long-winded philosophical things I could blog about as I was driving home yesterday, but this is what it all comes down to in a nutshell. Off to sneak in a quick nap before going out again tonight! :)
