Freedom and Stuff

For the past few weeks everything has been turning up Millhouse. The third round of co-habitation with girlie went beautifully, tickets for the summer of love were purchased, and I was taken out for meals by loved ones and volunteering hookups about 7 times in twice as many weeks. Last Sunday the T.O.D.D. Squad took advantage of potheads to great success with a well thought out bakesale on the grounds of the VAG on 4:20 and our final event, The Bowling Ball, went off without terrible hitches, all in all raising about $2500 for the MS Society.

Last Friday was my last day at TC and it was really really sad to leave. Despite all of the drama and stress that I have had over that place, some of the people I have worked with have been amazing and I am a little sad to say that I am no longer working for the man. A few minutes after I removed my TCID and handed over my door passes and cubical keys I had to run to finish off some paperwork on another floor so I bolted - I felt soo free. It was really neat. Also, on this oh perfect of days, I was offered a job. Although I havn't had an interview with them, they checked up on my references and want me an awefull lot from Tuesday untill the end of June- just funnily enough, the time when I would need to call any job quits in order for me to take off on my journey. Maby even the best part is that this job is at the the Commission for Complaints against the RCMP. Making a difference, no?

This past Saturday I participated in Earth Day at Jericho park, as per the glorius photo, it was pretty idylic. After a full day of facepainting on kids, including three SpiderMan masks and a dog-girl, I headed off to Jericho Garrison as Ei had invited me to their yearly Stand-Down bbq but she caught me before I had gone too far and we dased under an old willow tree and rolled about in the pastoral scene.

Sunday was the MS SuperCities walk, the end to the T.O.D.D. events, and it was great fun. Being at this beach so early was a good expierience for me, it felt somehow different. These lingering backpacking emotions followed me, perhaps it was the excitement and the drive to go and get out there, but being held back by unmovable events - such as the fact that it was 8am on a damp day at the beach. Regardless, it was a lovley event and getting together with the rest of the team was another great seies of jokes and goofing off.


And today, today I was unemployed for the first time in I don't know how long. I received my acceptance letter to Concordia, made eggs for my family, cleaned my room, got my hair cut, kissed the woman I love, eat the food of the woman I love because she is the best damn girlfriend ever and made it because I was comming, went on a rainy beach dog walk with one of my best friends and had dinner with my favorite non-biologically-related family.



Thanks for the past little while universe.
It has been pretty rad.



Love,
Sarah
