- Shambles: Freaking amazing! I left the city with Lee, on Sunday night, stayed in Calgary at Nessi's until Saturday evening because she had to do Leah's hair. Then we packed up Vanessa. picked up window markers, and headed out to paradise. We ended up in Kaslo at midnight and then decided that Loki. the party I was going to go to, was a bad idea. So we unpacked what we needed and slept. I got up at 6:30 and walked down to Robins to see Leone and Diana off to work. Then I harassed Robin out of bed at around 8. Margie, Robin and I all went out for breakfast at the bluebelle bistro, and then Robin and I found Peter. Oh wow. It's strange not seeing your best friend/gay ex-boyfriend for a really long time, and then seeing him again. I was soo happy to see him we all went back up to Harmony's and everyone (Harm, Joe, Erlend, Holly, Lee and Nessy) was awake. Now from here on, I don't quite recall the order of my adventures. I know had a wonderful time though. I hung out with everyone I wanted to see. Holly, Lee, Nessy and I all drank down at the beach, and then I ended up going to Robin's with Dougie. We then went up to Harmony's and had quite the adventure with Harmony. We stayed up until the early hours of the morn. That following day... Tuesday I guess I got a ride to Balfour, met up with Aricia and then with Kate and her sisters bf. We went across the ferry, and to crystal beach and then went to my old place, which is non existent now. Then Kate and I caught the ferry back and went to her place. We went riding, it was wonderful. I haven't been on a horse in almost half a year.. It was so refreshing. Savage is an amazing creature, he's so full of gentle and calm energy. Not to mention he's beautiful. We got back to Kate's and she dropped me off at the hitching spot in Nelson. When I got to the lineup, people who were walking up had to stand and wait for a ride up. I called Jake and he was in Nelson, they were on their way back so I sat at the gate and waited for them. They were all really baked when I got in the car. Apparently they had all eaten pot cookies. Anyways, they dropped me at the vehicle lineup, where I promptly found Nessy and Lee. Everyone was partying and I was just not feeling it, so I found Lee's car and fell asleep in it. We woke up at 8 am, and waited around until we got let in.
Now from here on I really have no idea of the order of events. We set up our tents and I went and found Robin and the Twins and everyone else. I did a little bit of running a couple nights in a row for some people. Made a little bit of money. On Friday at noon, I hit up some Lucy with Jake, Marissa, Tara and Brandon. That was a laugh, literally. I laughed for about 10 hours. Robin also did it with me, when I took my second one. Tara and Brandon ditched pretty much as soon as we dropped. I didn't mind really, I had so much fun, laughing at everything and everyone. At one point, I came out of the outhouse, after reading "the boogieman wears Chuck Norris pajamas to bed" and looked at everyone in the line up and said "Have fun standing in line for the shittiest place on earth." I laughed at my own joke. I then encountered a dancing zebra man who was accompanied by a dancing lion man. I found this quite hilarious. Robin was with me for those two adventures. The next night, I believe was Saturday night, Robin and I did Molly and I had a bit of a freak out. Got too high, too fast. I danced until 7 am though. Then I spent the majority of the day in the water temple in the Labyrinth. My energy was all crazy and unkempt. Frazzled. I met this really nice lady named Angel, who gave me an energy healing massage. It was wonderful. She asked me if I was going through complicated relationship problems, and I told her about what was going on. She taught me how to center my breathing to balance things out. Then she asked me if I had some sort of recent trauma, and I told her about my freak out the previous night and we worked on the lingering fear that had nestled itself within my abdomen. Saturday day, I hung out with Mike while he was with Lucy. We had quite the adventure. Someone decided it was a good idea to pour some sort of pellets in the river to turn it bright green, and I don't mean just green, I mean like.. biohazard green....
That was both amazing and infuriating at the same time. Some people are idiots.
I hung out with lots of people that I haven't seen in a long long time. Too much amazing happened for me to go over. Next year I'll take pictures. I didn't this year, for some perplexing sub-conscious reason. I lost my ID and couldn't get back in time for work Monday. I got a ride home with Lee back to the City, and made work on Tuesday.
Another update is to come as soon as I stop getting so distracted.
