I'm combining these two days because...welll...honestly I was way too exhausted on saturday and most of sunday to get even a late blog post in.
Saturday: Whistler.
After getting little to no sleep, I got ready and we headed off to Whistler. I originally thought that I'd be able to get some writing done in the car....yeah no. I got way too busy getting the music set up at first and then the energy was just wrong. Plus, I was kinda tired. Sleep is not the kind of thing one should skip too often. Still, I do feel a bit guilty about that. When we finally got to Whistler, we explored the village...for about two minutes.Then we headed into the starbucks where it was warm and got coffee. i'd told them that today was going to be way too cold a day to really enjoy very much but for some reason i don't think it translated. We did some walking afterwards for a while before deciding to head back.
By this time I was exhausted. I fell asleep in the car for a while on the way back util we got back into Vancouver. When we got there, we decided we might as well check out the diwali celebrations at the Roundhouse. I don't think anyone really wanted to do it; we just knew we'd regret it if we didn't.
The roundhouse was...god, i don't know what happened the years we were gone. once upon a time, VCD used to be this fun community event where we handed out sweets and had the kids draw on the floor with coloured chalk and crushed up leaves. We had cuve local acts and just a friendly atmosphere. This thing that we walked in on was way too commercial and unwelcoming. For the first time, I didn't feel guilty for leaving the VCD team. This wasn't the event I remembered and loved anymore. I think we only stayed for a few minutes before deciding to head home.
Once we gov home, I decided to head up for a nap. These guys had decided in the car they wanted to see skyfall and my little brother had convinced me over the phone that it was much better than the travesty that had been Quantem of Solce so I was ready. I just needed a little nap first. Later on, my dad came into my room needing a usb cord, which I gave to him. Listening in, I figured out he was having trouble getting the pictures to show up n our tv. Since I knew i'd end up having to do it all eventually, I got up and went to go help. Once I gov there, i found out the skyfall plan had been cancelled while I was asleep. The rest of the night was spent looking at photos.
Sunday: Home
I got up a 11:11 on Sunday. Seriously, I heard all this noise and it woke me up and when I looked av my laptop to see the time, it was 11:11am. I figured that was a good sign and got up. Hung around for a little bit but everyone was all scattered and there was nothing on t so i eventually ended up going back to my room and crawling into my bed. Yesterday was just one of those days one spends hopelessly trying to catch up on all the sleep their body seems to need. No matter what I did, i couldn`t seem to keep awake. I couldnt`seem to get properly to sleep either. So most of the day passed in this sort of haze. It only really cleared up in the evening. I finished the last season of castle and my brother came home and I made some cookies.
Now, I would just like to add a note. Ever since a couple months ago, I have been trying to start this tradition that me and my other watch something together at night before we head off to our seperate lives. This past week, i had been having luck with it...until this weekend. This weekend has just been all kinds of wrong, for little reasons and that`s one of the little reasons. There are others why but I dont`really feel like talking about them. Suffice it to say, i`ve been feeling ignored and marginalized and stretched out.
And I really want to write.
