A New Post
I bought my ticket for the Warped Tour today! Wohoo! I now know 4 people going, it should be fun...aaaaaand, I get 3 days off of work to go! I am also constantly looking for flights to Germany and back, but they keep getting more and more expensive...I wish they would go back to what they were before. Oh well...it will be worth it.
My family is back from New Brunswick, and my brother is now looking for a jerb. Hehe...if you watch South Park you will understand why job is spelled that way.
I've been working a lot. I started yet another second job. I am the "summer student" at an oil and natural gas company, which means I do the shit they don't want to do. It's alright, I can stick it out for 5 1/2 weeks. It's been scary a couple of times though...I was happily spraying weeds, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I hear a siren! I nearly dropped my weed bucket and ran for my car for fear of blowing up if I remained where I was. At the same time this siren went off, fire starts shooting out of some weird stacks that they have on site...I nearly shit myself until I saw the other people casually walking around. I then squeezed me ass cheeks back together, and went back to spraying weeds. I later found out that the siren happens whenever anything at the plant shuts down, and that it is something normal that happens a lot. As far as the fire coming out of the stacks, I guess that's just burning off something, but I don't know what...again, completely normal. I was told however, to back my car into the parking spot, unlocked and with the keys in it...."just in case". I'm sure nothing will happen.
So that's what's been going on the past few days...I will update again.

Happy Canada Day!
Well, it's Canada Day, and here in GP they do their fireworks at midnight, so, I've already done the fireworks thing. I wish they had been tonight, but I guess it doesn't really get fully dark until midnight, so then it would end up being July 2 when they happened.
Me and people from work went to someone's house to watch the fireworks, they lived right across the field from where they happened...or so I thought. That's the street I was told the house was on, until I couldn't find it. Then I ended up walking up and down the street talking on the phone with my friends...and I could hear them honking their horn and yelling...but I didn't know how to get to their house! So they had to pick me up and drive me to the right street, which turned out to be right behind the street I was told they lived on. I really hate that part of the city :P
We had a bonfire, and a neighbour donated their old Christmas tree for us to burn...it caught fire and quickly started to roll onto the lawn...had a scary moment there, but luckily the yard did not ignite into flames.
All in all it was a fun evening...and as for the fireworks....I've seen better. Haha.
P.S. I realize this is a small and crappy Canada Flag picture, but the other one I had pushed all my profile stuff to the bottom of my blog...
P.P.S. I CAN BUY MY TICKET TO GERMANY NOW!!! Amount left to go: $-14!!!
