Boston/Tdot

It was suuuper awesome to see my folks again! And tres bizarre to see their furnishings in a strange house. Glad to see my doggy too, even though she cries a lot and isn't doing well. She cried less after I walked her. Think she was exhausted. That must be the trick. Wear out the dog and the dog has no energy left to wear you out.

Their place is beautiful. Old house maybe 100 years old or a bit more? So probably expensive upkeep but they're just renting. It's a very nice quiet neighbourhood. Boston and the area is solo European looking, like you just stepped into London or something. Wide streets and boulevards, statues, old buildings, so nice and historical. I kind of want to move there now. But I want to get back to school first for a bit, and obv no way can I afford school in the States. Plus I have one of those boyfriend things. Would have to figure that out and it's easier to not go anywhere. Also, my furniture is here and too expensive to move unless I'm damn sure about it. And, the most obvious reason of all, I'm too lazy. Plus I'm sure my folks would love to have me, but would eventually get tired of a 27 year old leeching offa them.
(Even though I'm the favoured child.) (Right mumzy and daddy? :) )

But it was nice and I want to go back at least to visit. Once I win the lottery I'll visit more frequently.

Tdot is sort of false advertising seeing as I stayed in Oakville but hey. It was great being back. Lovely to see everyone. I really miss Toronto a whole whole bunch but although I loved seeing people I don't miss Oakville much except I had forgotten how huge and lovely my parents backyard is. So amazing and so don't want to lose access to that house. I had finally gotten rid of the ghost in my bedroom too! (I used to be so so sure there was a ghost in my room at night, I'd wake up and see someone standing there or see movement from the corner of my eye; one day I told Tina and she told me to yell at it to go away and the next time I saw it I just said "Go away! Leave me alone!" and it did. I never saw it again. Whether it was actually a ghosty thing or a psychological break I didn't care, it was gonners.) So I stopped hating the house and started liking it after that and now it's almost out of my grasp! So I walked around the yard with Kyle and said goodbye.

It's another page to turn over I guess, another chapter done and a new one I need to find!

CNN Live Drama!

I was really disappointed when I was in Boston watching CNN with my Dad. He kept flipping between it and Fox (hasn't subscribed to other stations yet) and although I expected it from Fox I had thought better of CNN. He was looking for updates on the situation in Egypt and all that was playing on the news was the Zimmerman trial. The worst part is that CNN was airing it as if it were some sort of reality TV show. "Next on CNN, they're presenting the evidence. After this commercial break." "Don't miss! our full coverage of the Zimmerman case." Really sad that people don't complain. Although I guess I didn't. Probably wouldn't matter either.
