this is how i celebrated may 2-4 weekend. i couldn’t write about it at the time because of political reasons. political the bar i used to work at reasons and vacationing with a regular customer reasons. ha. here i am shooting a bb gun. i am hot like that. americans, you can learn all about may 2-4 here. essentially it is a statutory holiday that gets tacked on to the end of a weekend where canadians get wicked fucking drunk and set shit on fire, shoot fire rockets into the sky (fireworks) and pretty much stay drunk for 72 hours at cottages near lakes anything country or rural or northern. it’s how we kick off summer, yet, in spring, and you are basically a failure if you’re left in the city for it. people who do not go way for may 2-4 will let you know all about their disdain for you if you got away and they didn’t. like people you work with. like people you work with and you took off when you only work once a week and that job’s their livelihood and you are a self-entitled dickhead. in all fairness though i didn’t know there was custie beef until after the fact. whoops.
i got better at this.

that’s griff. he’s kind of fucking awesome and kind of an intolerable smug bastard. which is a recipe for attraction and is somewhat intoxicating. not everyone will drink that drink but the ones that do, well, you know how it goes. shit show partier too. game on.

oh i just remembered this one couple that showed up and the guy was a total sexist sexist fucking asshole euro arrogant big mouth yet looked like letch (you can’t be like that unless you are beautiful). i can’t for the life of me understand these people. are you real dude? i flip-flopped between total shock and awe to disgust and bafflement. in the end it was hilariousness as we were rolling around on the ground around the fire in a field totally mashed and he was calling us witches and “that’s witch talk” abahahahaahaahaah and then all the dudes became witches too and we were cackling hysterically like witches oh it was fucking hysterical my mouth hurts right now remembering it.

griff was warned about me from a couple girls who read my blog. be careful, she might write about you. so then i never did. all girls who read my blog who know a guy who may or may not become my next kill blow it for me ever writing about that guy. i heard that one guy got his teeth whitened specifically for my blog. incredible. i never wrote about him because all the chicks at his work read this.

we slept in there. claimed it. bunk beds. i am not kissing and telling or anything but at this point we haven’t had relations so it was a dance of wooing me all fucking weekend long. poor bastard. plus all the girls were forced to tolerate me because of this and i could tell they really didn’t want to like me. or liked me. i’m the female equivalent to griff and i think he has pissed every single one of his friends off in this group. amazing group dynamics i was front row center for.

my room is pretty dreamy. i am going to interview every single person who has hung out in tickle trunk grove, specifically congregating for after hours engagements, and ask them what the allure is for them. there’s a fountain next door and you can hear the trickling water splashes and look up at my glow in the dark starred ceiling with an entire wall of open windows behind you and two more to the side. it is a sanctuary nook.

oh how smug am i. ok i have other shit to do thanks for watching.
BURNOUTINGTON OUT.
That is most definitely Cobourg. I have been visiting my family there since I was younger and I always thought I was wayyy too good for that small town. But, then I remember that I grew up in Hamilton and I laugh hysterically, spit and hack a dart (you can take the girl out of Hamilton, etc, etc).
How did you feel there?
i felt out of place but didnt care
Oh jesus, think I wrestled with that same statue, then looked in the window of a bakery that had an apartment for rent and thought of moving there. Cobourg’s nice, but it was just a weird time in my life.
i love small town Ontario. This post was a great excape. Thanks Raymes! I am ready to look forward to Sunnyside. Oh god yes.
That pellet gun is cute.
