Weekend fun

So last week was a good time. HOWEVER it was followed by a weekend! EEeee! This weekend I got ot go home to Regina for a couple of exciting events. It was soo much fun. Friday night, I watched a movie with Mom and Dad. We watched 'Precious', and it was super good. After that I decided to head to bed after checking my emails, so I could get a good sleep for the next day, it was going to be a long one.

I woke up. A little later then I had wanted to, but I still got up! IT WAS SCOUTING TIME! I headed on down to Victoria Park in the heart of Regina. There was a scout event taking place today, and it was a fun one. I participated in it about 5 years ago when it started and my teammate and I won! Anyway, The Amazing Ad-Venturer Race. Have you seen the amazing race? Pretty much the same deal. Groups of 2 people, get a 'Passport' it contains 8 clues that you must decypher. You also get a map of the city bus system, and a full day bus pass. You are given all day to figure otu the clues, head to the appropriate location, complete the activity at the stop, and acquire an envelope that contains a clue you need to figure out the Final clue, ocne you return to the HQ. It makes for an exciting adventure that requires scouting skills, team work, and some quick thinking.

So the scout event was followed by a vocal workshop. I help out at a church in Regina that puts on a show every year in May, and I help out and participate in the show. This year we are doing a lovely Temptations number, with singing, and dancing. We had a little get together to teach Nathan the choreography because he lives far away :P It was super good, and so much fun. Can't wait for the show in May. Tickets anybody?

AND ON TOP OF THAT, the vening followed with a get together at my house in support of Earth Hour! I invited people to come over to my house and hang out in the dark for a while. We lit candles and had glowsticks glowing. The drinks were pouring, the fire was crackling, and the fun was never ending. Even my older brother who said he wasn't participating came out of his cellar bedroom with a candle and was hanging out with us around the fire. He probably thinks all my friends are nuts, but who cares! We had soo much fun, but alas that night had to come to an end. Sunday followed. I took my bass with me on down to the Cathedral for a World Youth Day Meeting. I'll be travelling to Spain in August 2011, to participate in World Youth Day. It's bound to be a good time. We played some songs, and played some games. Found out I will be acquiring a Projector. No more watching these small movies on the TV. Haha, I'm super pumped!

Home again, and back at classes. Short week this time around. Easter is coming up, and you know what that means. GOOD FOOD AND LOTS OF IT!@ The whole family is coming over to my parents place for some goooood eatin. I hope the weather is nice! It should be! :D

Nothing too exciting for now.

Earth Hour FTW!

So I'm a fan of all the new movements. Free Hugs Campaign, To Write Love On Her Arms, Earth Hour!

Earth Hour this year is March 27th, you can check an earlier post to see more information about it! I've made Facebook events to get people in Saskatchewan involved. And it's working. I've received messages from all over. Today, CBC Saskatoon contacted me. They had a few questions for me on the phone and they want to do a little interview tomorrow morning. I'm rather excited. I get to speak up about something I believe in, and hopefully reach other people. CBC will be coming to interview me at SIAST at 10AM Friday the 26th.

This is just another shout out to Earth Hour. MARCH 27TH, 2010. 8:30PM TO 9:30PM. TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS FOR ONE HOUR FOR EARTH.


 And on another note. Karaoke last night, won ANOTHER MARTINI PARTY! Got to meet a bunch of AMAZING people. And hung out with none other then DJ HottBoxxx for a while. AMAZING LADY LET ME TELL YOU!

Linked List FML?

So I had a crazy fun weekend this past one! Friday I went with Sean and Josh, to a drag show, and I got to meet a couple people I'd been talking to online. I was driving so I didn't drink, but I still went and had a blast dancing and singing along with the Queens :P They had a couple new people up there this weekend as well. I think everyone did a superb job!

Saturday, I had this fancy banquet to attend with the Leuitenant Govervor of Saskatchewan! I got to hand out awards, take some pictures, and eat some AMAZING food. I then played around in the Western Development Museum for a little while. I saw the most amazing 1959 Cadillac, I almost stole it! Huge fins out the back, and the first ever bullet style taillights. Gorgeous looking vehicle! After that, I went to go visit Josh again for a bit. We played Wii, and I'd like to say I beat him, but I'd be a liar. I'm terrible at Wii Mario Kart. It was fun :) Theeen, went to Matt's with Sean, Kayla, and Tisha, for pre-drinking. And there was a fair amount of that happening :P  We all got in Sean's little car and took a trip on down to Diva's in downtown Saskatoon! I got to say hi to a few more people I've been talking to(/LOVES MEETING NEW PEOPLE). Had a few drinks(YaY!), and danced the night away!

Sunday followed, my parents came up from Regina. I've decided to give up half of my bedroom to a friend who needs a place to stay for the last two months of school. And so I sent a bunch of stuff back home with my parents, and I'm slowly going to be taking more stuff in the car when I go home on weekends. They bought me some food and some other things, and helped me clean and re-arrange my room. The evening came around and I had another Rover meeting to go to. It was good, and informative. I got to see a couple people I haven't seen in a while, and it made me realize just how much I miss them :P Then after that, I went with Sean over to Keith's. Holy Moly he lives far away, and we watched some cracked out drug movie. Pretty sure it was Quentin Tarantino, he makes wierd fricken movies, right?

Monday came around and boy that was a long one. Nothing really exciting happened. ASIDE from watching Undercover Brother with Bryan. And then going to teh carwash with Him and Kristen! Who I then went to Broadway Roastery on 8th, with. We had some delicious drinks, not to mention the super tasty chocolate whip! I saw someone there that I recognized! Eeeee! Was supposed to have someone to hang out with, but that kind of fell through. So I went to bed a little earlier then usual. Even still, waking up was hard this morning. Cold is wearing off, I've been taking Tylenol religiously! Today is going by slowly, but it usually gets better after class. So we'll see how things go a little later today. Hopefully a little bit better then yesterday!

Martini Party for 4?!

Soo, I always say I like singing, and I don't mind doing it in a Big group. I've sang infront of a sold out Center of the Arts (Regina version of TCU Place), with a small group of people, and that was okay.
Do you think I could get myself to sing karaoke to 30 or so people in a bar? I didn't want to sing even one song. Paranoid much? I finally was convinced to sing a song. I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston. Aaand, it WAS A BLAST! I had soo much fun. So, had another drink, well lets get up there and do another song! 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton. I was having SOO much fun! I was getting more and more familiar with the people in the bar, and there was even a couple really cute people there. One in particular though, kind of stood out among the rest. :)


ANYWAY! I kept going. California Dreamin' - Mamma's and the Papa's. Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under - Shania Twain. Talk about crowd response. My friend watching said I had the best crowd response. Making me feel good? I think so! There was people up dancing and having a blast! But It was about time to go, I had school at 8AM, it was getting on midnight. I had a guy come up to me; Who did an amazing Muppets Rendition of Summer Nights - Grease, and he wanted to do a song with me.  Angel - Shaggy.  I coudn't remember the song, until the music started playing, and then it was all good! I had a blast. I don't want to be the new bar star, but if it means I can sing and entertain other people, I'd love to.
I ended up winning a Martini Party for 4 people! I'm pretty excited. And all sorts of bar swag.

I'm not complaining.

SO this person I mentioned earlier, I also got a name and number from them. I'm pretty excited. I'm pretty sure I'd like to get to know 'em!

P.S.    !!!One of my teachers commented on my new shoes today. He wants to see them seeing as he's heard all about them on Facebook! Do you think it's possible that perhaps the teachers of CST are reading LOA-CST-S?? Comment and let me know!!

Neon Dance Party Photoshoot Shopping Weekend?!

This past weekend was a pretty sweet time. Friday night we had our Neon Dance Party. Peeps came over abnout 9:30 and we partied until about 3AM. Some Rockband and 80's tunes, it was a pretty good time. GLOW STICKS they were a must have thing there. HOWEVER I'm a little upset with people. IT SAID DRESS UP! Nobody DID! Aside from like 3 people. I know I was decked out in Neon colors.

Anyway, woke up the next day at about... the afternoon :P It was a good day, got to catch up on all my internet crap. And do some cleaning to get ready for Saturday night! So, a few people came over again to pre-drink before we went out to Diva's for a sweet dance party. It was a good time playing Rockband and drinking heavily. So we partied again at my place until about 11:30 - 11:45, then hopped in the car and headed down to Diva's in the heart of downtown Saskatoon. I tell you, it was a Blast! It was pretty busy there Saturday night. Lots of people dancing and hanging out. There is always a lot to look at while your there, I can telly ou that much.

We drank, and danced, and drank, and danced, it was SUCH a good time. LOVE all the amazing people I spent the night with!

Again that was another late night for myself and the people I was with. BUT IT WAS GOOD! So Sunday came around. I had plans with the Lovely Miss Kendra. IT WAS GORGEOUS! We cruised downtown with clothes and a camera in hand. I found my self in some stupid places. The railing of a train bridge, the side of a retaining wall, the roof of a gazebo, a tree. And in a handful of outfits too! It was an awesome time. IT WAS GORGEOUS OUTSIDE! We went all over downtown to the university and the river, and the wier. WE then took a drive over to Broadway where we got some Booster Juice and went for another walk! Did I mention IT WAS GORGEOUS OUT! We went into Divine. They sell Converse.

So I bought some. A pair of lime green high tops. LOVE THEM! Not to mention the guy working there was kind of cute. And Kendra and I loved there lovely Staff Boat they had on the wall! Lol. Such an amazing time. I Love hanging out with Kendra, and I even got some pictures taken. It was a good time. She's an amazing picture taker and I can't begin to thank her enough. Bed time rolled around, I slept, I woke up, I came to school. Same as every other day. Here goes another week long adventure!

Ode to a Fallen Comrade

Today was a sad day as I walked through the halls of SIAST Kelsey Campus in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I thought it was such a beautiful day* as I was walking into the building. It started going downhill as I entered SIAST and the guys having a smoke had to start talking about me before I got in the door**. Then as I walked up the stairs and down the hall, I saw Owen walking towards me. "Today's the day! I'm dropping CST."***


*I have to park a couple blocks away from my school, as I don't get up early enough to park close, and I don't have a parking pass for the student parking lot. I don't mind though, it's good for me to walk a couple blocks everyday considering I sit on a computer for 6 hours a day, and that's only at school! I have been fortunate enough to be able to walk to school at 7:45AM WITHOUT a jacket! Today I'm simply wearing a T-shirt and a sweater. I love that I live in Saskatchewan; the weather here is always SO screwed up! :P


**So the jerks outside at SIAST. I'm not sure what it is about people in today's society, you'd think they would grow up and get over stupid fucking stereotypes. I'm a boy. I wear skinny jeans. Actually, my clothes are almost all very tight fitting. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME A 'FAG'. There are tons of guys that dress the same way I do, some even more so flamboyantly. Doesn't make them gay either. Okay, I'll give them a break because I AM gay, so they are on the right track, but they don't know me. They don't know anything about me. They don't know who I like, or what I like! What gives them the right to fucking judge me by the clothes I wear! The worst part is, they can't even say it to my face. If you have an issue with something about me, JUST FUCKING TELL ME! I can handle it. I'm pretty chill; you'd know that if you would actually talk TO me instead of talking ABOUT me!


***My friend Owen, who has been thinking about it for a long time, has finally decided to drop out of CST today. After being in it, he's learned that it's not what he was looking for. And I understand and totally support his decision, I mean, he knows best for himself. But I'm going to miss him. I got the privilege of working with him for the first semester. It's how we met, and I'm SUPER glad it happened. For all the people who didn't get to know him in CST, you should have! He's not the first however. CST year 1 is thinning a little. We've lost a couple comrades in our battle. It is sad to see them go, but personally, they won't be forgotten. I learned a lot from the people I've met in CST. These are friends I don't plan to forget.


This goes for all of the amazing people in my life. I love you all. I like people too easily sometimes, but I prefer it that way. There isn't anybody I know that I dislike. If you've been brought into my life, there is a reason for it, and I wouldn't want to miss any chance for friendship I get!
