Last weekend I went to the States for shopping because my sister needed a prom dress. It was really nice to get out of Ottawa for once and have a small family vacation where you'd get charged long distance for texting. It was good because it was just so chill. My sister and I bonded a bit (which is amazing because we're so close but she's been spending a lot of time with her boyfriend lately) and my family just seemed to relax. My sis did get a prom dress and it looked great on her but once we got home, she found out someone else has it so we're going to try and alter it to look a bit different. Hopefully that'll work out though.
While I was below the boarder, I did get my friend some candy. This may seem kind of random to you but we don't get the same candy here and I decided to get her some candy as an inside joke because a few weeks ago we watched Holy Musical, B@man! and oh my gosh, it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. We had to pause it multiple times because we were laughing to hard and we kept missing the next line. I wont spoil it for you but if you know Batman at all, you know there are a hell of a lot of puns. So I got her candy to make a lot of puns. On the Monday I gave her the candy with my puns and she almost died laughing. Good times. And if you haven't seen Holy Musical, B@man, I recommend watching it because it was mind blowing like every other Starkid production on Youtube.
Tuesday night I went to see the Coffee House at my school. It's this thing where people sing and play music for a few hours. It was really cool- I had never been to one before but the singers were amazing. I knew a lot of the people in it and that's why I went but everyone was fantastic. One of my friends blew my mind. She was the second last performance and she has always been an amazing singer and she legit gave me shivers. I felt kind of bad though because she kept saying afterwards how she didn't take in enough air and it wasn't the greatest but I kept at her and made her feel better because she was amazing. After the Coffee House I went to my other friend's house to practice what we were going to do for the talent show on Thursday night at Leadership Camp (we couldn't perform it though because there wasn't enough time which sucked but whatever).
Wednesday night was also really good. I had a Leadership Camp session and we found out the theme of the camp this year which was battle of the bands. My group, since we ended up being all girls, were the Spice Girls. But it was really fun. And Thursday to Friday we were actually at Leadership Camp. I miss it already. Last weekend I realized how much LC changed me last year- a guy in grade 12 that I hardly knew was in my group and I told them during polyatics that I missed Istanbul and sometimes wished I never came back, and this guy wrote me a 'warm and fuzzy' (something the camp does before going home) and he said that he was glad that I didn't stay in Istanbul. I got so emotional then and that actually really got me feeling better about being in Ottawa. This year was no different- I changed as a person after going. You just have so much fun and get so much out of it. I got so much off my chest at polyatics from this year and I learned so much. I feel like I have connected with so many people too and have stronger relationships with people in my group, including my best friend. She was the one with me during the Doctor stuff and it was the first time we really talked about that stuff after it all happened and I can't even put down in words how I'm feeling and how I felt discussing stuff with her.
So yeah that's pretty much been my week. Oh yea, with Grade 12 drama, people are still going at it- everyone decided to do something and we're going to keep trying. But yeah. I hope things keep getting better. I know they will though- I'm going to Istanbul in 53 days, summer is also coming up as well as the Dark Knight Rises and Ice Age 4. It's gonna be a good summer :) I'm hoping it'll make up last summer. No more pregnant chicks, no more teenage drama- just friends, reading and movies. Carpe Diem
