Wow, what a Eurovision. The final voting was intense!

Ukraine wouldn't have been my personal choice, but the song by itself is pretty cool, and it's growing on me every time I listen to it, so I'm not all that disappointed. (I'm more disappointed that Spain didn't place higher - I loved that one.)

We dumped diplopod at the airport this morning. As for me, I go home tomorrow. Long flight, bleh. Not looking forward to that. But I guess it can't be helped.

I'm trying not to think of the stuff I'm going to have to take care of when I get back to Canada. I guess I'll let it sit for a day or two before I get around to it - it isn't like any of it is an emergency, anyway. I have a place to stay, and enough money that I'll be able to keep going with my bills and such for a few months, and no pets or dependants. So. It could be much worse.

It really bums me out that I won't be able to go back to work right away when I get back. Kind of weird that this is what I want the most, considering everything. But I guess it's just - my job is very steady, it's very reliable, and it's... a constant in my life. It also is, by definition, doing something. I go to work every day, I do my work, I come home, I get paid. But now, I'm going to go to Edmonton, and go to my relative's place, and... do what? Sit around until we're allowed to go home? That could be a month or more. And they live out in the boonies, and there isn't anything to do, not even anyplace to go walking or anything, and... ugh.

Well, I don't know. I guess I'll just find a way to make it all work out.

[edit] Satellite data has been released of post-fire Fort Mac, and my house is confirmed safe. I already figured that it was, because it is in one of the areas that suffered the least damage, but it's another thing to look at the map and see that it's okay.

I really wish they'll keep the new points system next year. I didn't really care about any of the songs, and I was still at the edge of my seat when they were announcing the audience votes.

And I'm glad that your house is safe.

[yuuago]

:D Yeah, I like this way of announcing the points too. SO much anticipation!

And thanks <3

Sounds like your trip went really well!

Nice to hear about your house, even if it will take forever to get back to it.

All in all, I think it went pretty well, considering the circumstances. My friends are awesome, and Sweden sure knows how to put on a Eurovision. :D

And thanks. <3

I am so glad to hear about your house! ♥ And glad that you had a fun Eurovision trip, mwaha. Have a safe journey home!

I feel you on the not having a thing to do bit. Aimlessness is just - ugh.

[yuuago]

Thanks. <3 Overall, everything went pretty well. (Sitting in Calgary right now waiting for a connection... ugh I am so sick of airports.)

I'm sure once I get to Edmonton, I'll find SOMETHING to do, once I shake off the jet lag. It's just a matter of getting used to my surroundings. Living in someone else's house is always so awkward.

Glad to hear about your house! <3

[yuuago]

<3 It's a relief, even if it's going to be a while before we can get back there.

well, after July 1st I'll be back in Calgary so if you'd like to come down I can show you around :)
