I've been pretty busy the last few weeks outside of work

* I went to Waterloo to send

ghostj away, since she is moving out of Ontario. We went dancing,

ghostj and

fleshlycherry nearly got into a fight with some douchebags who couldn't take the hint that we weren't interested, and

themega5 gave me an awesome Dalek phone charm that spins and lights up when I get a phone call or text.

* I went to FanExpo (aka The Great Canadian Line Con). There, I didn't spend much money, but got my picture taken with the Impala, saw James Marsters in concert, and went to a Q&A with William Shatner. The actually had to close down the convention hall at one point because they'd over sold tickets, but otherwise it was very fun. In the future, I might actually have to plan what I want to do, but I keep getting overwhelmed by the sheer volume of scheduling, so I tend to tag along with others.

* I went to the family cottage for the first and only time this year with my brother and parents. We had one nice day which I spent with my mom, then at the beach, and the rest of the time the weather was under 15 C. I did manage to hit up the awesome french fry shack, the delicious fish and chip restaurant, and the pizza buffet, which made me happy. I read six books in five days, nearly finished the Big Bang, and got caught up with my brother.

* I went to my friend's cottage for the weekend. We didn't leave Guelph until 9:30 pm on the Friday, and it was a 4 hour drive. Part of the drive was undertaken by a girl who barely has her license. I thought I was going to die. They bought too many bags of chips, not enough real food, and there weren't enough beds for everyone. They also drank too much (which means a lot coming from me), and smoke a lot of pot (which I don't like the smell of). That said, I had a pretty amazing time. I got to go swimming, we played some really fun card and board games (the best being Telestration which is a cross between Pictionary and Telephone). I also got to catch up with some old friends, who I dislike a lot less when I don't have to rely on them for anything. Finally, I spent a significant amount of time with my ex, and I think he's finally over me. Things were not awkward between us, which makes me happy. He also got a 400$ speeding ticket and nearly had his license revoked, which made me smug, because he's a crazy driver.

In other news, I'm crazy. I realized the challenges I've committed myself to, and I'm going to be very busy.

1) A secret gift exchange, due shortly
