My heart was full when you were by my side
Well. Happy 2010.
Morning started out pretty routine. Talked to Minako etc and roleplayed a bit. Then made fudge. Slept a lot before supper... I have no idea why, but I was so tired today. Anyway, everything was just in waiting for the evening. Unfortunately our celebrations didn't go quite as planned. See, every year we go out to the late showing at the cinema, then come back to have snacks and a toast at midnight. Well, the cinema changed things, and only did the early showing tonight - but this change was not up on the website. So, we got bundled up and headed downtown with no result. Lovely.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't have minded. But it was bloody cold tonight, around -32C or so, and pretty uncomfortable. Not to mention, driving in Fort McMurray at night (or at any time for that matter) is unnerving, because of the traffic and the ice. Also, there was a cop-stop just after the bridge. Whoever's the idiot who decided it should be at that location should be slapped with a frozen cod. Stupid stupid stupid. All that congestion on that old bridge, not to mention the traffic backed up all the way up the most goddamn dangerous hill in Fort Mac... If there are reports of accidents at that location in tomorrow's paper, I will not be one bit surprised.
What we ended up doing was going back home and rummaging around in our movie cupboard. Watched The Patriot, but when it hit midnight we decided to stop, as dad has to work tomorrow. So we'll watch the rest tomorrow, I suppose. To be honest, I wasn't exactly in the mood for that kind of movie; I hadn't seen it before and didn't know what to expect, and the beginning parts made my guts twist in a bad way. I tried to ask my mum to put something else on but she wouldn't, and I couldn't go upstairs because that would've caused too much drama, so I just kind of... sat there a while. Urgh. What a way to bring in the new year.
While we were talking this evening, I tried to kind of hint to my parents about the summer trip. "Some of my friends say I should visit them," I said. "Have to get my passport." But I don't think they really realized what I meant. Probably thought I was referring to someone in the US. As if I'd ever go to the US. Well, I guess when the time finally comes to discuss it, I'll just... have to discuss it. It's kind of a good thing that my mum doesn't really know where Finland is, else there would be, uh, problems.
Speaking of Finland, was keeping my eye on the WJH stuff going on today, and man does their team ever suck. Geeze. Sorry Finland, you're fab, but I ain't pouring any love on you this time. Looks like I'll be putting my money on Canada and/or Sweden, as usual.
Urgh. I'm heading back early-morning on the 2nd. I am not looking forward to the travel, because I kind of have the milk run home, but I am looking forward to getting back to Saskatoon. I need a vacation from my vacation. :| Spending so much time home alone with my mum is driving me NUTS.
