Getting into the outdoors

Today I plan on going canoeing with Courtney and her boyfriend Chris.  Tomorrow is hiking.  I haven't done anything "Dawsonlike" since I've been here besides some mild hikes so I'm going to cram it all into my two days off!

Life has been pretty uneventful.  Go to kate's, have a new co-worker by the name of Adam Terpstra who is a very wonderful, openly gay man who entertains me from the beginning of the shift until the end.

Zumba has been great.  I've had over 12 people a class recently and I'm hoping it continues.  One woman who will remain nameless, did the whole class in her granny panties and a tanktop.  At first I thought maybe she got changed and forgot to put her pants on but nope, it was intentional.

Gerties has been alot of fun.  Last night Helen some how got both her legs in one of her short holes and almost went on stage with her ass hangin out.  She noticed about 20 seconds before we had to go on and I couldn't help her as I was laughing too hard.  Reminds me of when Ambrielle tried to put her own panties on when she was younger.  

Last night was spent at a bar called The pit in the New Westminister hotel.  Not sure why it is called the pit but in my opinion it's because it is a pit.  But in a good way.  Amy, Travis and a few other friends from town have a band they put together that plays on Wednesday nights called Amy Soloway and the Mid-weeks.  Great tunes to dance to.  My two favourite songs of the night were Tina Turner's "Rollin on a River" and Prince's "Purple Rain".  Purple Rain always makes me want to dance with my eyes closed but usually I feel insecure about it.

I must mention a situation that happened last night.  Steph was telling us about a game that the local boys play called "Party Foul".  How it works is, if you drop a beer, someone calls party foul and you then have to drink a beer out of that persons shoe.  I thought it was extremely disgusting but last night I called it jokingly on my friend Jjay and I 'presented my booted foot to him, he took off my boot and drank out of it."  Not sure who it is more gross for, I did dance last night but then I had a soggy sock afterward.  My friend Dave Harris was saying it was such a disgusting thing so Katie, Jjay's boyfriend, knocked Dave's beer out of his hand but instead Jjay drank out of my other boot to 'even things out for me'.  Funniest part of the night is one of the local boys came over to Jjay and said "Hey!, I want a sip of that" and proceeded to take the boot from Jjay and have a sip.  It was hilarious and disgusting all in one!

Now I am going to attempt to wax my own eyebrows.
