Bury all your secrets in my skin....

---Come away with innocence
And leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again.---

So, Tara flew up to Edmonton. Stayed at my house with Brandon. Then my step dad walked in and found them doing exactly what I asked them not to do. The house was a mess, and they hadn't kept things to my bedroom, that should have been kept in my room. My mother caught wind, and kindly asked me to tell them to leave. So I did. Tara and Brandon then told me that I wasn't being fair, and that I owed it to them. They forgot that they had been at my house, using my water, power, heat, and internet and sleeping in my bed. Anyways, I was stuck up in Fort Mac, working 24 straight days, freaking out about people being in my house, when Tara informed me that I had no power over where the keys were going. "That's not how this is going to work Haylee." I lost it.

It wouldn't have been so bad, had I not learned the day before that Ben Walker had died two months previously. Then my mother called me, a day or two after everything regarding my house keys was sorted out, to tell me that Ginger had kitty cancer, and it was really bad. Mom got her put down, and cremated. Oui and Pixie were really awesome, and visited mom while I was away. They really freaking rock my world. I got home on November 10th worked the 11th and then was finally done work.

My mother had made me a polar bear costume for Halloween. And when I returned, I wore it. I wore it out to the creepshow on Friday, at New City, I named it Wynn Awh Sum. Let me tell you something, puppies don't work anymore. Polar bear costumes, fucking haul the ladies in.

 

I took Wynn out a few more times. I partied it up, applied for EI and just enjoyed Mike and Pixies company. The weekend after the weekend of my return, Mom, Shane and I all went to the mall. Mom lost her car keys and we were stuck at the mall until Jen came to the rescue. (Thanks again, Jen!) We went home, and Shane and I contemplated going out to the free Cygnets show at The Pawn Shop. We weren't going to because we were tired from the days event's but I wanted to take Wynn out again. 

So we went.

And I'm so happy I did. 

I saw Melanie, and Jen and a few other people when I got there, which was a huge adventure in itself. I walked down Whyte with Shane and was consistently swarmed with girls who for some reason were terribly under dressed for the weather. Anyways, I was partying it up in the pawn shop, running outside here and there. Meeting people, talking, hugging and just running around being super happy. Wynn and I have never been together without being Sober. So, later in the night I was going downstairs to go outside to cool off,

Then I saw her face. 

Katherine Smith walked up the stairs. I stopped her there, and said, blatantly "you are so cute!" And she replied with a similar line. I told her I would be back in, in a moment, and she told me she was leaving soon. I hurried back inside and found her again. She was clearly intoxicated, and I clearly didn't mind. She kissed me, and then gave me her number and left with her friend. I ran around a little bit more, overheated and then went outside to cool off again. I saw her again, alone this time, walking around the corner to the alley. I took off after her, hoping to god she wasn't planning to drive home. She told me she was trying to find her rental vehicle, which I steadily disagreed she do. I finally convinced her to come back to The Pawn Shop and sober up a little. Instead, when the cygnets was over, I kidnapped her and brought her home.

She ended up staying for three nights, because she sprained her toe. She's from Fort MacMurray, works in the insulating union in Fort Sask. We turned out to have a bit in common, movie/book wise. We both love Quentin Tarantino films, horror films, metal and music. We both enjoy working in trades and labor. We hit it off. 

We continued to see each other, she introduced me to a couple of her friends, who are really cool. We went to A house party at Calvins. Calvin is a fun guy, he works in Fort McMurray. She's a really cool person, very sweet, independent, clumsy, and beautiful. I really enjoy her company. We recently agreed to be in a relationship. It's going well so far. She's a lot of fun to be around, and I love the sound of her laugh.

Christmas was enjoyable, I got into a fender bender on Christmas eve, so I had no money, but the family was here, and the niece and nephew and Auntie Diane. Shane and Ashley, and Cheyenne all made it. It was nice. The house was in a constant uproar, but I had Kat, and I could escape when it got to be too much. New years was a riot, Kat and I went and partied with Cassey, Abbey, Kayden and Lindsay (More of her friends she introduced me to.) We had a two day bash and are now taking some time to relax and replenish our bodies.

Today I learned some happy happy news. My dear sister Dana is engaged to the wonderful Mr. McAllister. I'm stoked for her. Bill is a really sweet guy, I partied with him while I was rotting away in Fort Crack.

Anyways, I think that is a good update, I'll try and keep on top of things. It's easier now that I have my own computer. 

Right now, I am very happy with my life.
