This Just In.

Say Hey Hey!

Well. It's been to long my friends. Sorry bout that! Been busy and lazy... mostly lazy. Lol. Shit I dunno where i left last time. Hold on a sec. Gotta check my last blog. Brb. . . . . SHIT SON! Billiting was the last time. That was like 2 months ago! My god boy! Lol. Kay so...
(This may be a bit of a read, you may want to go to the bathroom now.)
Billiting
So billiting was with Rolly my boss. It was really good! He wasn't around most of the time but it was still nice to be able to sit back at night and watch TV. I watched the Sopranos mostly when i was there. I did the math and I watched a little over 48 hrs. of tv on my comp. while I was there. But i was happy with that. Work was really lax during billiting. I woke up usually at like 5 to 9 and made a sandwich then walked to work. There was a movie being filmed there during billiting so I just had to hang out incase they needed something of the keys or anything of the sort. I hung out wiht the girls that were workign there for the summer and chilled for the week. The biggest thing was it was my 19th birthday over the billit period. Rolly let me have some people over. Dani and Spencer came for the night, Marty too. Gerard came till midnight, Steph and Claudia got to borrow the truck to come too and JD was by for a bit.  Spencer, Marty and Dani camped in the back yard. We got to use the back yard to hang out and party. After a bit JD left. We had pizza for supper and then Rolly had bought me a cake. We went to the bar to continue the party and play pool. It was a blast, i had so much fun. It was nice to feel like a family. Everyone coming together to celebrate. It just one of those times that makes me feel so unbeleiveably grateful to have come and done this program. It made me happy to know that my friends here cared.  At work we got afternoon off and I went into Winnipeg with the girls, Kaly and Caylin.  We went shopping for a bit then went and saw Crazy, Stupid Love. So fucking funny. Like it was absolutly amazing. Spectacular movie. 5 Star, all the way. It was fun to go out. Then the next weekend, Rolly took me, Marty, Spencer and Dani to the city to see a movie and get dinner. We saw Crazy, Stupid Love again. It was just as amazing the second time. It was all and all a good time during billiting. I enjoyed Rolly's hospitality, and like he told me we ate well. Roast Beef like every other day. I must say that I was indeed happy to see everyone again and was happy to be in the house once more.

Meti Fest
Right after billiting we went to Meti Fest, at the International Peace Gardens, on the border of Canada and USA. It was interesting. We went with the other two groups, Colin, Marisol and Alice. It was actually fun. It was like a 4 hours drive because we had to drive to Peg first. We got to sleep in big Dorms, so that was cool. There was lots of live performances. I worked the Front Doors and the Main Hall the first night. Then I worked in the canteen. That was hecktic. So many people wanting food. We were making Burgers, Dogs, Smokies and Meti Tacos. We only had one BBQ... We could make like 10 burgers at once and they'd be sold out in about 30 seconds. It was pretty nerv racking but I got through it. After that I had the afternoon off. I traunched around the  site for a bit. The next day I had kitchen duty. And I cleaned. That's it. And moved shit around lol. We had a big group picture before we left. I carried Gerard and Ian on my back, Ian was piggy backing Gerard and I piggy backed Ian while he piggy back Gerard. Thats like over 150 kgs. on my back and I took 2 or 3 steps before falling under their weight. I think thats pritty damn good.

General Life
Life was good. We found out that Gab got charged for some of the activities we did, like waterslides and Happy Potter 7 Part 2. Ya we went to the movies and tried to get Katimavik to pay for it lol. Didn't work so that was a bummer. Life was good. It got more busy once school started. More people on the streets. Bigway got a Gilato set up going too. Fucking taste boy. Had Rasberry and Peach together! Oh my god. Soooooo goooooood. Mmmmmm. Work was still easy as hell, only like 2-3 hrs a day.

48 Hours Off
Kay, so 48 hours off begins at 5 pm on friday. We get out that door and hit the road. Blaring Last Friday Night by Katy Perry. The ride there was just enough to get us pumped and ready to party like crazy. We dropped people off at their places that they were staying at. We got to our hotel and Gerard waited for Ian to show up. Jesus. Kick was so late. We chilled upstairs while Dani and Marty went shopping. Steph went to the airport to get Sophie who was flying in from Toronto. We hung out and started pre drinking (Drinks like 10 bucks for a double here mang!) Me and Gerard taughtIan to plan Munchkin and we had an Epic Game. Took like 4 hours. So crazy. Dani was so bored that she tried to figure out how to play. She can play now. Same with Steph and Adian. Marty nows a bit too. We all hung out in the room the first night. We went over to Fame, a near by gay bar, to go clubing. It was TGIF Friday. (Thank God I'm Fabulous!!) It was a blast. So much fun going around and just partying like crazy! So fun. I danced like crazy! We all had so much fun. Steph and Soph left early, then Marty and Spencer went back to the Hotel. They called last call and then Gerard, Dani and Ian went outside. I continued dancing with some people I met then when the DJ finished playing music I decied to leave. G, Dani and Ian were waiting for me outside for like 45 minutes. We went back to the hotel and had some more drinks and played another game of Munchkin before calling it a night. Saturday started early. I woke up at like 9 or 10. Went for a swim then lounged to recover from the night before. Was bored so started to drink. We played some Munchkin and watched KnockedUp for the 3 time on 48 Off. We got some Subway for supper, then Amanda, Rejeanne came over with Amanda's friend Melanie, from Edmonton! We all hung out and drank before heading to the strip club. It was horrible. So shitty. We left in like 10 minutes. a double was like 12 bucks. There was a random dude that talked to up and talked to us. The first cab came and it filled. Then after the second We all got in and the wasn't room for Melanie. She got out and was going to grab another cab by herself, I got outta the front and went to wait with her. Then the fuckign random dude went and took the front sit and stole a free  ride to Fame with the girls. We just headed to Fame again for the Fairy Tale costume party. No costumes but still was going to party like crazy! We went onto the stage and did pole dancing. I went to the bathroom, which were both sexs, Mens and Womens bathroom, and had some girl randomly braid my hair lol. It was so random. I went out and danced more and the braids fell out and she saw me again and redid the braids. Everyone from my room went home at like 1 and then Steph and Soph went outside at liek 2. Me, Amanda, Rejeanne and Melanie stayed and danced till the music turned off again. We went over to Amanda's hotel and got some pizza. Did not expect to find a pizza joint open till  4am that devivered. It was tasty. Aidan was in the same hotel so we got the desk to page her room for us and we went to get her. Her and Stephan were chillin' watching TV. After the pizza we went to oour hotel. I got in and Gerard had the bed hogged so I passed out on the floor. It wasn't bad. We had decant amount of empties by the end of the weekend. I got up first again and got some of my shit together then went for a swim again. Everyone came down and joined. After we got all our shit packed then cabbed to the St. B house and then went to the Mall. The Saskatchewan @ Winnipeg game was starting so we went to a Sports bar. I had 8 tequila shots in like an hour and a half and felt fine. It was so wierd. We all got together at the St. B house and packed up our shit and went on home. What a fucking amazing weekend spent with amazing friends. And new friends too.

Sea Lookout Came to Winnipeg
A Ontario group, Sea Lookout, came to Winnipeg for there big excursion. We had a big potluck for dinner and had a pretty good time. After that we got free time and there was a free outdoor Rock show going on at the Forks. Gab didn't mention it was Christian Rock though... We just went to a bar and shot pool for a while. It was a good night in Winnipeg.

Fern's Cabin / Debriefing / Big Excursion
We went out to Fern's cabin for our Debriefing/Big Excursion. We made pair and planned out Debriefing activities to help group develpment or talk about things we learned during the rotation. During debreifing everyone took turns cooking one meal, like how we did the first week of Katimavik. Me and Gerard we gunna take another crack at it after our unbelievably crazy House Manager week. We made, chicken, baked potatoes on a fire and asparagus. It was really good! We hit it on the spot and made up for all of our mistakes from our House Manager week. We got to Fern's then unpacked the van and got settled into our sleeping areas. We got settled in then Gab did a couple of activities with us. It was fun, we got to think about fun times, things we learned and shit like that then share our experiances with the group. Then she had the sheets that we filled out the first day of Katimavik. It said what we felt and shit like that. I had Hungry and nervous on my sheet. Two words. That's it. We wrote underneath that and then I had like have a page talking about how amazing of a time I had. We got free time for the rest of the night and let the party begin. (Playing Beer pong,  doing shots and having a blast. Damn it feels good to party with this new family.) The next day we started doing the activites we all planned. We started with one of Gab's first though. We had two teams, then each team had 5 minto make a fire, get the fire big, then put their potato into the fire. Then each team had two cups and had to take water to putout the other teams fire while defending their own fire. After 30 min. the team with the most cooked potato won. We lost... But it was a fun game. Then we did the activities we made. Mel and Dani's was fun. We had news paper on the floor. We danced while the music played then when it stopped playing, we all had to fit on the newspaper. Then after each round the paper got smaller. It was a fun game. We had good laughs. After we did one were we had partners and we drew our partners, first with out look at them, then without looking at the paper. It was fucking halrious to see teh pictures! Sooooo funny. After we did one and it was an obsticale course... but you were blind folded. Your partner had to guide you throught the course! lol it was actually kidna nerve racking not knowing where you were going. I'd hate to be blind. Then we did mine and Spencer's activity. We had everyone go one by one and talk about their work experience and what they learned, what experience they got from it and some stories. What they enjoyed to do, what not so much. That kidna thing. After that We had them write a discription of their jobs on paper and make like a brochure for their work placement for when the new group came in they had an idea of what they could learn at each job and have discriptions of the job. After dinner (me and Gerard cook) we went and watched the sun set. Fern has a sunset deck with such an amazing view. The sunset reflects off of the lake. Man it was beautiful. A bunch of geese started to fly in for the night too. Hundreds of them Atleast 500 - 1000. It was a sight to see. After that we had our free time. It was Martyna's birthday!!! So like every birthday, we partyed. Like crazy. Even Aidan did a shot! Which was crazy! We played strip beer pong. Spencer was almost naked in like 10 minutes. He's so fast! Haha. It was a crazy night. So much fun and great memories. The next day we had a huge breakfast and started to get all packed up. We chilled out after cleaning everything up then thanked Fern for such an amazing weekend.

The Move...
We had to clean the house after debreifing and get all packed up. I cleaned up the kitchen with Steph, Marty and Claudia. It took a while. We had one last night in St. Pierre so we went out to the park for one last time. We had a good time. It was good times in that park. But it was easy. Our bus didn't arrive until like 1:30 ama so we had a while on the last day. After the cleanign was dun we munched on leftovers for dinner. Gab got worried about us not being packed so she told us we had to be done packing before we got our allowance. We all we finished when people noticed the northern lights outside so we all went over to watch them at the park. When we got home at liek 12:30, wegave Gab the HUGE thank you card we made for her for being such an amazing PL and helping us have and amazing time in St. P. It was an amazing time and a great experiance. I gave Gab a present, a large flower bouque, a bottle of Gin (Her Fav!) and a Cuban Cigar. She gave us all a letter that we wern't allowed to open and read till after she dropped us off at the airport. When everyone got the letter's and we started getting ready to leave St. Pierre Jolys, everyone started getting teary and upset. It was sad to have to leave and finish this chapter of Katimavik and our lives but it was a nessicary one. I was ready for the leave and change, but I think some wern't as ready. We got outside and then everyone had one last look at the house before leaving St. Pierre Jolys for good. Not for ever. But for now. I know i deffinatly want to go back to that amazing little village. We got on the bus and took off for Winnipeg. We started to listen to the beats we banged in the Moushtache Van for the last 3 months. Me and Gab had some Gin too =P It was sad to leave but we got to travel with St. Boniface too. We went and picked them up at there house and went to the Airport. Colin came too. Marisol showed up at the airport when we got there. We had to wait for the airport people to show up so we could check in. We all said goodbye to Gab, Marisol and Colin then said our final goodbye. It was hard. But Gab's last words were "You can read your letters now!". That was it. Gab took off. And we were heading to Happy Valley - Goose Bay to start this new chapter of our Katimavik adventures. We flew to Toronto, then Halifax then finally Happy Valley - Goose Bay Labrador. We got off of the plan and walked into the terminal to see our new PL, Chelsea.

PS I FUCKING LOST MY I POD IN HALIFAX! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
