Four Twenty

Just thought I'd share this lovely photo of me on 420. Spent the day at Lake Annette. I was in shorts and a tshirt all day! I think I look slim. All my sister said was "are you smoking a doob?" Yes, I am.

I go walking

Even after midnight! It's how I get home from the bar. :P

I actually had an incredibly active day yesterday. (made up for the 6 hour afternoon nap I had on monday)(was a long night on Sunday) I went skiing in the morning, then a couple of us rode our bikes out to Old Fort and climbed up it. I have no idea how i managed to climb old man, I lagged behind all 3 of the others at least 10m at all times. Dirk even called me "Mum" at one point. "how ya doin' back there mum?" Ha! Then we rode back home. (was also behind them on that) The entire trip took us about 2 hours and 3 joints.

There were goats. The other three (crazy aussies) got a LOT closer than I did. I just don't trust those mother fuckers. So I sat here, on a rock. That's whistlers mountain in the background, and the athabasca river.
Posers! I love it though. I had a really great day. And my legs aren't anywhere near as sore as I suspected they would be. Went and had some beers afterwards then 4 more joints at paddys place. And then I got home and discouvered that I lost my key card that gets me into my apt building. I may have just misplaced it. Effing stoner.

Was just about to go to bed last night when I got a text from a former Cser. "Hi olivia. This is Ois here the irish guy from early january. i just got into jasper about 10 minutes ago with my 3 friends. we're on our way to alaska and we ended up making it here tonight. was wondering if there was room on the floor in your place just over night. if not. no problem. we will camp?" So outt've no where. I thought about it and figured it was just over night and they'd probably have a really miserable night camping and so they came. We all hung out and chatted for a couple of hours then went to sleep. They were all from different countries too! There was an American, a Canadian, an Irishman and a Kiwi. The Kiwi guy ate like a monster. Had an absolutely HEAPING plate of pasta (I'm talking fucking huuuggee!) then went back for seconds. He said he's never met anyone who can eat more than him. While he was living in Nelson he had met an Aussie that said the same thing, they challenged each other. The aussie lost.

I've been procrastinating doing my dishes for days now. I should probably go do them now.

Holy Toga

Yeah, Toga party last night. Am currently lying in bed, coughing, sneezing, sitting up all make me feel like vommiting. So not cool. I work at 11, i suspect I'll be lying in bed until about 1045. Work at 11 and it's going to be a really awful day. I hope its slow.

Leprechauns

Easter is coming! Went to Hinton. This was in the mall. I felt like the Queen of Easter when I sat there. Had a pair of csers last week. They had a rat. This is him. He was called Match. Like a match stick.
RAIAA! THIS IS THE CHICK THAT LOOKS LIKE MICHELLE. IT'S A SHIT PICTURE BUT I THINK YOU'LL SEE THE RESEMBLANCE.

I had an awfully successful st paddys day. How 'bout you? I was wearing just about every green item of clothing I own. I even made little 4 leaf clovers for my hair. AND I DRANK GREEN BEER! I'd really been looking forward to that.IRISH For The Day! This button flashed different coloured lights. Note the green stained skin. My entire neck looked like that for a couple of days. I think it's back to normal now. Not too sure though.
It was that damn green shamrock necklace that did it to me. These two were my couchsurfers wayy back in November (?) I'm really unsure on that too. They live on the floor above me now.
GREEN BEER!
Look how shiney my face is. Ew.

Dinnnnaaaaa!

Dinner. The pot roast. It final product was a successs but getting there was difficult. I did not get the type of roast that momma told me to. Couldn't find one in this silly little town. So it was dry and almost cooked way way too soon. The CouchSurfer came to the rescue. The gravy was a little odd, but it was delicious. None to spare. Marcela couldn't even look up from her food for the picture. I was drinking wine outt've my van mug. Thanks Britt!
Mmmmmm. Roast, veggies and cheese sauce, taters. So delish!
Crepes for dessert. Martin and Marcela brought them. Very good.
My new lighter. Got it at Dollarama for a buck. He got a straight, Only took like 87 tries too!
And I thought spring was here. I don't even think I can ride my bike to work in this. Fuuuuuck! I hate walking to or from work. I had to walk home yesterday because I scored a ride off of a friend. I'm going to try my bike anyways.
And loook! I fixed my flipflop just in time for spring. Ha, that's what I thought.

Oh No!

It seems as though I've drank andd smoked myself into oblivion. I'm stoned and drunk and have the spins.

Oh! Wings N Sings!

Pot Roast

Mom, I think I got the wrong one. But it was all the grocery store had. I think it'll be ok. I shoved garlic into it and then seared each side and stuck it a roasting pot with onions. Do I need to flip it? I'm nervous. Hope it turns out well. I've started cutting the veggies... just to have them ready to go. I'll peel the potatoes soon. I think I've got this. Oh hey, this is the new pipe I bought in Airdrie. We call him Sax, or saxamastone or saxy. Pretty bawlin.

I'll let you know how it goes!

Day 8/9

It's day 8/9 and the swelling has gone down and I have almost full mobility of my tongue. It hurts very unoften. Don't think that's a word but for tonight, in my blog, it is.

Picture JUST taken. You can see the swell around the barbel. It's not too harsh but clearly visible.

I drank tonight. Went over to a friends for dinner, was seriously hungry before I got there. Dinner wasn't ready when I arrived so I started in on my bottle of wine instead. Good golly, It's been awhile since i was this silly.

Sunday is andrews last SUNday in Jasper. Sounds like it's going to be a "party hard" night. Should be good. Haven't participated in one of those in a long time. I'll try to take pictures.

day 2

Hurts a bit more. Has swelled up. Eating proves to be most difficult.

Lucky 13

Haha. Not. I mean, yes it was a sharp burst of pain, that lingered for a bit, but it just feels like a fresh piercing now. Almost better than any other one. Doesn't hurt too much.

It's pierced to the left a little bit. I like that.

Just had a spoonful of jello. Was interesting. May have some difficulties with this.
I have to go. must eat before french. byee!

Alrighty

Today is the day. 50 minutes till my appointment.
Not as nervous as I was before. This will be good.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow I enter into the world of mushy foods.

I'm getting my tongue pierced at noon. I am so fucking nervous. Good golly.

I've spoken to a lot of people about it. Everyone has told me theirs hurt for only about a week. I can deal with a week. I have 4 days off, Tomorrow until Friday.

Today my boss, (remember, he's Japanese. very Japanese) asked me what I was going to do on my days off. I looked at him and said "healing." "Whaaat?" he exclaimed. I told him what I was doing and he just shook his head. Then started to ask me how much it was going to cost. He took it back right away. "I don't want to know anything about it!"

Me. At 1 o'clock in the morning. I got off work at 9. When it's really big/you look up at it closely, you can see my moustache, and my nose hair. Delicious.

Nighty night :)

Today

Today is Valentines Day. And I don't really care. This year, I am completely neutral about it. It's just another day.

I just said goodbye to these two really cool CouchSurfers. They were both pretty young but (from their stories) had done so much so far. She was 19, and preggers. He was 21, and the baby daddy. They both seem so excited about it. They were really cool, down to earth people. Totally positive.

I love when I get along and have a positive experience with a CouchSurfer. If any of you out there that read this, (does anybody? if yes, please start commenting. I'd probably update a whole lot more if I knew people were reading), is able to host a CouchSurfer I'd highly suggest doing it. It's wonderful. The person(s) you help out feel great, you feel great, it's an all around good feeling. And it's safe. Everyone I talk to always feels so freaked out about it. Letting a stranger into your home. But c'mon, you're doing them a HUUGE favour, free accomodation! They're not going to steal from you. The worst they do is over stay their welcome. You can ask them to leave. So, anyways, yes, CouchSurfing. Do it if you can. Please. Here.

This was taken in July. Just after I got back to Jasper from Comox. Lookit my freckles. And my tan. I want to look like that again. I miss summer.....

No Rod.

Rod Stewart wasn't at Wings on Wednesday. Lame. I didn't even bring my camera though, so no biggie.

So, I ride my bike (brenda's bike) everywhere. To work, home from work, to stone, home from stone. Everywhere. And I've got to tell ya, it's not the easiest thing to do at night, with snow/ice on the roads. It's fine during the day. I can see where I'm going, but at night, when I get to parts that I know are treacherous, I ride with my eyes wide open, without blinking, until I know it's safe to blink. My eyes will water and sting, but I figure it feels better than falling off the bike.

I have to leave for work in an hour and 15 mins. Woke up an hour ago. Am still in my pajamas. Haven't eaten or anything. Bah. Work.

I'm getting my tongue pierced on Monday. I'm fucking nervous about it.

Rod Stewart

Goes to wings n sings every wednesday night.

This buddy goes to wings n sings every wednesday dressed up as Rod Stewart. So the first time he arrived it was all like 'wow! this guy must be good!' Wrong! He is awful! I'll try to get a video of him the next time I go.

Tonight I....

Went to Valemount and saw/held an Olympic torch! Wow! Really cool. Here I am. Holding it. I was the first in the crowd to ask, therefore, the first in the crowd to hold it :)Olympic Torch Runners running. Lookit the rings! And the flame!

We also had to say Goodbye to the beautiful Miss Lynn tonight. She has to go back to Korea :( I'm really going to miss her crazy Korean ass. She was/still is a LOT of fun. So honest and kind. And this is just a picture of Pyramid Mountain that I took a couple of weeks ago. I feel like I may have posted it already. Gotta love it. So so beautiful. A little less snow on it now.

So, I haven't been blogging because I haven't really been getting up to much. My last post was a bit of a hint as to what I was up to that evening. Can you guess? That's right, I tried mushrooms. Fun! But was told by my Momma to never do them again. Bad bad bad for your liver.

Goodnight lovers!

Welcome!

To the Mushroom Kingdom!

Dear Sister,

Look how big your lips are!!

Ps. I miss you.

looks like spring.

It seems as though spring has come early to Jasper. It's been over zero degrees for the past 3 days and everything is melting. I fell in the slush walking home from the bar on Sunday night. It sucked. This is what all the streets look like.
Myself and Vera, wings n sings the night before my birthday. I was clearly intoxicated.
Happy Birthday joint. Very nice :)
After the J laughter happened. Tears and laughter. Alix took pictures.
Cab to the bar! The cabbie made us go in 2 trips. Too many people. Whatever.
The girls. Fucking great shirt eh? I figured. It's my fucking birthday. I'm going to wear whatever the hell I want. Tie Dye shirt and a poncho. Perfect.
Sunday! Was a foggy night. Had to work the next morning. Fucking worst day at work ever. Harfed in the bathroom a couple of times. not cool.
Good golly we're good looking.

Alix moved in on Sunday. Hasn't spent a night here yet. Jess spent the night last night. It was fun.

Happy Ukrainian Christmas!

And happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I am now 22. wow.

Celebrated my last night of being 21 with wings n sings last night. I drank probably a jug and a half (or more) of draft beer. I didn't get out of bed till 1:30 this afternoon. It was nice.
No pictures up from last night and I only have 3 lame ones on my camera. Should manage to get a few gooders tonight.
This is me. In a blanket fort that Raia and I made when we lived in Calgary together. Those are cheetos in my mouth.
Christmas morning breakfast! Look how stoned I am and possibly a little drunk (from Baileys and hot chocolate)

Pyramid Mountain in all it's glory. This is one of 2 of my favourite mountains in Jasper. My other favourite is Old Man. New Years with the CouchSurfers! Me, a complete random, Jess. The dress I'm wearing was found in the lobby of the apartment building by Brenda. It's hers. But she left it at my place and it fit me so I wore it. Thanks Bren!

Me. Skating on a frozen lake! This is actually me getting up from falling while skating on a frozen lake. It as fun. We saw a soap opera star. Nicole recognized him. He plays Dr Drake. She got a picture with him.

So it looks like I'll be going skating now. Byee!
