i woke up this morning thinking "i wonder what will be going on at the memorial centre today??" last week it was the home base for the shriner parade. the week before, they were doing driver's ed for new city bus drivers, the week before that was the circus. but upon opening my blinds i discovered the parking lot was empty, there was nothing going on. or was there....
after 12 a bus load of teenagers arrived. soon they were eating their lunches on the lawn of the m centre, while others began practicing trumpets and bagpipes. i was horrified that i was spending ANOTHER saturday afternoon listening bagpipes be played across the street from my house. like seriously, who else does that happen to?!? they're still there (oh crap, there go the bagpipes again), i think they're some kind of air cadets or navy group. i saw them marching in a row. there are hordes of cars outside and most of them have military related bumper stickers.
mid-afternoon i felt a need to escape, so i biked to melissa's. i really appreciated visiting with her, i even had a good cry on her couch.
earlier i cleaned my windows. they look all sparkley and clean :D
couple announcements or heads up for upcoming events:
next saturday is the skeleton park music festival which is really great. i'm volunteering, doing gear check like last year.
and in august is the wolfe island music festival which i'm really looking forward to. i'll be camping with my family that week, we're arriving home the day of the festival. i've already talked to joy about us coming home early morning so i can be there to see wolf parade at noon. i heart wolf parade, that'll be cool.
ok well, hope you're all well. i'm sending out my love from me to you.
no matter what i do for you it's never really enough.
you know, i try so hard for you just to hear you say
"it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be ok!"

Who else does that happen to? People who live near Holy Cross, cause pipe bands practice there too.
ugh. i sympathize with the neighbours of holy cross. i will light a candle for them.
when do you come home!?!?!
