Doctors without Borders

This afternoon, Emilie and I went to a refugee camp in the park put on by MSF. My dream is to work with Doctors without Borders within a few years and so I was really excited to see this refugee camp. We got a tour by a nurse who works in Toronto, but has done three tours to various places. He was really cool, kinda dorky, but that made it more fun. It makes me want to go work relief so much more!

Lacey, me and Emilie before going dancing

Dancing with Betty

This is me trying to teach Angelique's mom how to grind and dance slutty! Hahaha I don't think she gets the point of slutty lol. I love Ange's parents! They're ridiculous! For some reason they make me promise to take care of her on any trips we've been on together. As if! If Ange is getting in shit or trouble, I'm either right there with her or leading the way! Haha. Not to mention Ange is like a bull and I'm no matador, I can't control that beast if I wanted to! Ange's mom even got me a high school grad present just before we left for Dominican on our grad trip; it was a small book that she uses to teach her special ed students and it's called "The Cycle of the Dandelion". Hahahaha. Ya, until the end of high school, I didn't know that the yellow dandelions and the white fluffy dandelions were the same species! lol. [Insert insulting comment from everyone reading this here.] Although, I keep using my defence is that I'm not the only one who thinks this! Jo (not the best example I know lol) also didn't know this! But I mean seriously....has anyone actually SEEN the yellow dandelion turn into the white fluffy ones?! Maybe you're all wrong and the yellow ones die and that triggers the white ones to pop up? Just putting it out there.

Skydiving with Baba

Two summers ago, I went skydiving with my Baba! About a year before this, my grandma and I were talking and she just mentioned how she always wanted to go parachuting. I told my mom, and we talked about how we think we should plan this out. We figure, you only have one life to live so she mind as well get to do things she's always wanted to do. We talked about if something was to go wrong, at least she'd have been able to do something she's dreamed of. So my mom and I secretly planned that when my mom would come to get me from university to bring me home for the summer, she'd bring my Baba and then me, my Baba and my brother would go skydiving. So when they finally came down to Ottawa, we went out for supper and I sprung the surprise on my grandma and she couldn't and didn't believe us. We convinced my mom to go as well since the rest of us were all going to be doing it. That night, my grandma got no sleep, but she said she was excited to go. The plane was tiny so it had to be two at a time, so my grandma and I went first. We both LOVED it! Then we were on the ground and saw my mom and my brother go. Dave liked it, but my mom puked the entire way down! hahaha. We were video-taping their jump from the ground and when my mom lands all you hear on the tape is her tandem jumper say "you're my first puker!!" hahaha. Loved it! Now on to bungee jumping!

Blah blah blah Iraq mix

I think these military music videos are hilarious. I just have so many questions when I watch them. lol.

Lady GaGa Teeth

This video is AWESOME!! I've shown it to a number of friends now and they all love it! It's pretty much changed Angelique's life. lol. Gotta love "beefcake's" dancing! hahaha.

Crotch Game

So every once in awhile when I'm bored and wanna entertain myself, I play this game I call "The Crotch Game". It's basically where when in public you try and picture what people's crotches look like. Not just like their junk, but I mean like EVERYTHING; from shape, size, grooming, etc. Really fun! I got Emilie playing it and some others too. It's a good way to entertain yourself in public; well, it's a good way for any perverted people like me! Haha.

Pro-Choice Rally

Today I woke up super hungover from going out last night and I had to be at class for 8am. I'm not really sure why I was that hungover; yeah I had about a micky of rum in 3 drinks, but it's really not that much when you look at how much I usually drink. I guess I'm getting old. Anyways, aside from being late to class, needing to get out of the first cab early to vom in major public, then get in new cab to get to class, being hungover till the evening, I went to the pro-choice rally! I've gone now for three years and I think it's a lot of fun. Today is the day where the catholic school board busses students in from all over (including the states) and yes, these students get out of class for the day to protest pro-life. I am a pro-choicer. I believe that people should have the choice. If someone wants to be pro-life, that's great, that's their choice, but don't force everyone to be. This year was a really great turn out; probably the best yet. I have a couple pics from the rally on Parliament Hill and from the protest on the street. After the protest, I went to Emilie's to chill with my hangover, then move furniture....when do I ever move furniture when I'm not hungover?! lol

Tulip Adventure

On monday I was looking to have and adventure around Ottawa, so I asked Emilie if she wanted to go see the tulips since it was finally a nice day out. We met on campus and walked to Major hill. There were only dying tulips and the tents for the festival weren't up so we figured we'd missed the festive (turns out they're just late to set everything up). So we walked to Parliament and chilled there, then went on little adventures around there. Bekkah met up with us since she was downtown, we hung out, walked to Bekkah's place in Gatineau, then walked to the market and finally home. It was an awesome day with about 5 hours of walking around Ottawa enjoying everything and each other.

Brianne

My very close friend is celebrating her 23rd birthday today! I have known Brianne for awhile (around grade 7-8) and have known OF her for most my life since our parents grew up together and were close friends. It wasn't till Christmas of 2005 when Brianne and her family "saved" my life and instantly became angels that changed my life, that Brianne and her family because my family as well. She had forever since then been my sister and she always will be. She and her family were family to me in one of my biggest times of need in life and I have made a personal vow that I would always be there and do anything for Brianne if she was in need; that's what family does. I'm proud to have such an amazing friend/sister and that we've been able to be there for each other in our hard times. I miss her since she moved back to Timmins and I can't see her or talk to her as often, but I know we'll always be super close. The bond we have is indescribable because it's more than just a friendship. I wish her the happiest birthday and life ever!!

She has been responsible to for some of my great adventures and I have roped her in and brought her along in I'm sure more ridiculous, blasphemous times than she'd even want to remember! lol. In grade 11 World Religions class we figured out that I was going to be going to hell no matter which major religion I choose to follow and I think sometimes it's like I'm dragging Brianne down with me.....secretly I think she loves it! ;) haha.

Love this girl and can't wait to see her again!

Brianne's 23rd Birthday!
