I guess basically a big part of the start of summer had to do with a boy. Which I wish I could say never happened considering I wasted a lot of time being hung up over pretty much the most selfish person I've ever met. Long story short, being used sucks, but it feels good to finally realize someone for who they really are, and not be hung up over someone who will never change.
Second major thing to happen after that would probably be losing my job at Second Cup at the beginning of July. A huge blow to my financial situation. It sucks mostly because it was definately the best job I've ever had, and I've had quite a few to compare to, but I'm pretty sure I'm guarenteed a job at the cafe in my school if I can fit it into my schedule. So basically I haven't been working since then, which was awesome because it gave me a chance to do everything I wanted this summer before leaving for school. But it'll definately make this year a lot harder since I'll have nothing saved. I'm used to this by now so fuck it!
Been to a lot of great shows, most of which I can't think of at the top of my head. But I did see Have Heart's last show on Tuesday with Shipwreck, Bitter End, Cruel Hand, and Rah, an unreal line up. Brutal Knights and Career Suicide was another ridiculous one. I'll probably add more to the list when I remember (I pretty much have the worst memory ever lol).
Finally got to go to Wonderland for the first time in years with Carolyn, Brad M., and Brad K.. Best day pretty much, smoked a lot of weed and rode Behemith for the first time. Actually just a wicked day altogether.
Went camping with Keyah, Carolyn, and Emma out in Picton last week which fucking ruled. Basically missioned out there on Monday, spent the day looking for somewhere to sleep, hanging around the beach, picked up 2 1/2 24s of pabst then finally decided to stay at this wicked motel on the lake in town. We lucked out huge on that one. Emma and I hid in the car so we got a single room, and got a discount for giving our tv to some other guy. That night was so good; watched the sunset on the dock, drank beers, partied on our porch all night, got way too drunk, and met some awesome old ladies from Quebec. The next morning we hung around in town for a few hours, went to an awesome thrift store, then headed to our camp site at Sand Banks. Struggled to set up our tent then hung around at the beach for a couple of hours. We got to watch the sunset again on the lake that night before we built the best fire and drank beers around it all night. Another perfect night. We got up super early the next morning and packed up and were at the beach for 9. Smoked a bowl then we spent at least 5 hours swimming and tanning before we decided to go home. It was definately the highlight of the summer so far.
I also found the best bike at the Salvation Army this summer so there's been a lot of awesome bike rides. Obviously lots of drinking but nothing I'm gonna go into detail about. Moff Jam was definately a highlight of the summer. The night before I went to a Weezer Tribute at Sneaky Dees which was so fucking good. Two bands played all of Pinkerton and the Blue Album, and I had the best time with my friend Lily who I hadn't seen in a while, and Scott, Wiseman, and D'arcy. Lily came back to town with me that night for Moff but ended up having to leave the next morning before we got to the skatepark. Basically Moff Jam is a day long competition a bunch of guys set up where the usual bike kids and skate kids compete for "golden 40s" all day while the rest of us watch and drink beers. It was such a sick day, especially considering it was supposed to storm but ended up being sunny and hot all day. It was Carm's birthday that day too so after Moff we headed over to Greg's, then Al's, Carm's, then to Brydens, drinking the whole time. By the time everyone packed into Brydens, things were getting pretty rowdy and everyone in our group was screaming for no reason. Dani and Al got kicked out for smashing bottles, and when Dani punched the bouncer in the face the cops got called and kicked us all out. It was actually hilarious, and they followed us down the road to the Post Office until we finally got kicked out of there and headed our separate ways. Best night, pretty sure we're all banned from Brydens now though lol. Which actually sucks cause I got banned from the Ivy a few weeks before with a bunch of guys for smashing bottles. Milton's Most Wanted. 
Totally forgot to mention the part where some friends and I got robbed at gun point. Worst fucking night ever. Started out great, drinking 40s and skating at the park. Then at like 11 pm 4 guys dressed all in black with their faces covered walk up to us and pointed guns in our faces, one guy had a knife and a bat, and started screaming "give us your shit" and taking wallets and bags and phones. One guy picked up a 40 and smashed it at my feet and shattered glass in my leg, and two guys shoved one of our guys around. We realized later once the cops got there that he was bleeding from his back, so everyone thought he was stabbed. Basically they ran away with a bunch of peoples stuff, luckily not my bag or phone. I called 911 in my pocket so they were there pretty quick, but the guys got away, and I spent the rest of the night in the hospital with the kid who got cut. Fuck this town.
Anyway, I leave for school in 17 days which I'm soooo fucking stoked for. I'm completely broke now since Have Heart, so I'm trying to get used to not drinking as much, cause I plan on cutting back when I move out. I say that a lot but it's definately gotta happen now, I can't afford to fuck up in university. I plan on putting everything I have into doing well this year. I can't wait to start fresh in a new town where almost no one knows me. I think I've definately changed a lot in the past year or two and I wanna make people see that. I'm super nervous at the same time, I don't know if I'll be up to par playing-wise compared to the other kids in my course, I'm definately slacking in theory and all that kind of stuff. I'm also gonna miss a lot of things here, namely my sister and my family, my friends, shows, and Toronto pretty much. But I can't wait to move in.
So yea! This blog is officially started again sort of, dunno how much I'll post or how interesting it'll be but I'm sure I'll have a lot to say in September.
