sometimes, it just kicks you in the crotch...
So, it has been smooth sailing the last little while...problem free. life sans drama.
However tonight , of course (Random night mid-summer) I get a call that someone has told my cousin facts about myself...
This kills me, apparently...he thought she knew...thanks.
Oh well, when the smoke clears, I will once again realize why spilling your guts to randoms when your drunk is not an optimal solution for anything...
This is the factor that constantly comes back to "kick me in the crotch"
p.s. (random) I'm addicted to CSI & Law and Order... this is what summer gives to me :)

p.s.
watched beaches today.
cried like a baby...
sadly, I always give into those movies.
brings up really bad memories (not bad...sad...)
Someone told me it was a comedy...
a similar event occured last week with Stepmom.
Both NOT comedies.
Both sad, sad movies.
Rob=mr. gullible
but I kind of enjoyed the movies...I'm not gonna lie

this is how I am going to spend the last month of summer!
Yes, I went to the country dance saturday...incredible... I love going out, getting crazy, and seeing everyone else do the same (hence my love of friends/family/and yes... I'll admit it, this small f*cking town of Ingersoll).
A story that needs to be shared:
I am leaving the dance (drunken blur fast forwarding three hours) walking towards home with friends...why were they coming along? no idea. anywho, lady pulls up in her car:
-Do you know where a local bar/strip club is?
Drunk Rob: "yes, but it is hard to explain."
-Well, I am trying to catch my husband. He is cheating and I know he is here
**rob gets into the car**
"Looks like we are going on a goose chase"
(drunken blur of conversations...brief recollections of hoping fences to look for some guy's truck and looking behind bars and business for this guy)
"Can I change the radio station?"
-Well, I was kind of hoping we could focus on the task at hand...
"sorry... forgot what we were doing"
-I'd better take you home...
Nicest lady ever, I have her number in case she ever needs help (I gave her mine, I felt it was mutual...)
NEXT DAY:
Parents: "Rob, how did you get home?"
Rob...tells story...
Mom:" What if she was some crazy rapist?"
Dad:"Was she good looking?"
Brother:"how the hell do you always do such crazy shit..."
The mystery continues

I was bored at work today...so...
I made a list of 15 things I hate in the world... (some things I hate as objects, others just because they annoy me...)
okay...
1) Soggy Bread- whether it be too much mayo/ranch, whatever, I hate it when my bread is soggy... especially refrigerated subway...
2) Taking the last swig of your beer and it is piss warm..ugh...but you know you have to finish it cause you look like a wuss spitting it back (but you know you want to)
3) The first spill on a new article of clothing...fuck, this one kills me (just fyi, my clothes last an hour sans-spills)
4) Big Brother- the show...shitty and boring... the only reality show I despise
5) Non-smilers...you know the people you walk past, smile at only to get no response...come on now, just a smirk will do...
6) Kalan Porter (nothing personal, I just can't stand Canadian Idol)
7) Ben Mulroney (see #6)
8) That Dr. Scholl's commercial "no, he's gellin'..."...this one kills me!!! everytime I see it I grit my teeth
9) When you start your car and your like favorite song is ending on the radio...
10) Everyone's meals are fine but what you want is sold out of, not made anymore, or not covered under the special and you have to redecide on the spot for fear of holding everything up...hate that...
11) Grabbing the milk jug and noting that it is empty AFTER cereal is poured and awaiting it's lactaid full friend
12) When a c.d. skips mid-song (especially when you are singing along...)
13) doing something stupid (and unneeded) and hurting yourself... ie...at work we have this tape machine where we pull the handle and release it and the tape for making big boxes cuts itself...anyways, I wanted to use it but was not making a box and snap...my finger got caught when I let go and almost ripped my nail off... I am a twat...
14) Only taking one photo and having it not turn out (ONE OF THE WORST THINGS EVER) especially: on a vacation, formal event, etc...once in a while things...
15) When you decide it would be just as easy to pull something (grocery cart, whatever) and it smokes you in the ankle causing extreme pain...kills me...
Well, this is my list, I hope you guys are never this bored...

Rarely do you have an epiphany...
Everyone has them, you are doing something which might seem normal and something huge becomes crystal clear in your mind...well, I had one this weekend, and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Let me start out by saying that I am not at all religious, so maybe epiphany is the wrong word to use but alas, it is the word I will steal from the religions of the world.
I went away this weekend and accomplished many of my summer goals (some would call this part of the story the lead in). I was heading to a family cottage for the weekend, with my best friend in tote (because I am the only child/nephew that has yet to found a significant other) we managed to hit up Barrie to visit a friend from school, then onto Pt. Carling where our rented cottage sat on a quiet little lake.
Family arrived and everyone partied together...it was nice to see everyone getting along at our ages (considering the gap's ranged from age 19-age 55). Having family and friends meet and enjoy eachother's company puts the mind at eaze. On the way home we were on our way to Sauble Beach to visit another friend (if you are imagining ontario as a map of the world, Pt. Carling and Sauble Beach are like Tokyo and Europe, but the journey was worthwhile)....
Anyways, I was driving down the road through Collingwood, taking in the scenery of Collingwoods classy feel and just enjoying everything when I had the clearing in my mind (or...THE EPIPHANY)... weird to describe, but it just helped clear up a lot of things:
For example, all weekend people were criticizing my music choices saying they were far to different...how can someone listen to Tina and Ike Turner at one point in time, while having the next song on the c.d. be Billy Idol...
Other thoughts from the weekend included people asking if there was anyone special in my life yet, am I happy with what I am doing in school, and am I glad to be working where I am this summer... At first the gut feelings from these thoughts was negative...was I doing the right thing in school or was I just kissing my money goodbye? ("thoughts arrived like butterflies")...
So, back to the road through collingwood... it just clicked that I do love what I am doing and who I am doing it with ( my friends, family, etc...). For now, school is exacly what I want but in time that might change (as deep down I still dream of broadway performance), and once I got to thinking, being single is one of the best things you can be...
It made me laugh actually when all these thoughts came through my head as all I could think about was how I should be in a relationship, but then at the same time it did strike me that the reason why my parents will never understand as it is impossible to tell them that "casual relationships" are way better than the real deal...
Monday was the birthday of A.M. (who passed away just four months ago...) and I think it was this that made me realize that a) go for my dreams and b) being single is amazing ... and that I miss her a lot...
I swear gloomy weather gets you thinking about deep thoughts, etc...but I am telling you, an epiphany always helps...

Okay...allow me to fill you all in about the last two weeks of my life...this here was taken exactly 4 hours before Tori's (sitting) drunken birthday truly began... Let's just say, Jack's said no (too drunk), Jim Bob's said yes, and then we wandered back to the hotel missing my cellphone and with randoms...
