Fall will always be my favorite season

Pretty Birdie

I need to back track a little....my mind has been very sleepy and very closed to creativity lately, but with my potential new job coming around I feel awake again and my mind is racing

and as much as it does not feel like spring it is

and I never posted any spring favorites 

What I'm in for

Yesterday during Obama's Inauguration I was training at my new in need of extra $ part time job. And it was on all the tv's, I was sitting in the group of girls I was training with, a few of us start talking about how great it is, about his books ect. Then we say how its kind of scary though because it could be another JFK incident because of the whole being popular intelligant factor. Then, the girl beside me turns to me and asks
Oh was JFK black?
.....
this is not aloud to go under "stupid things people say" we all do that, this is , oh ya see that girl over there, she is a moron, a total moron, don't talk to her she will ask you how to do up her pants.

Shiny dreams

A few things I need this year...

 oh...ya and a gym I need a gym, a whole gym.

Saltspring Island

I need to talk about Saltspring.

So just like every year around Christmas time I make the short treck to SSI where I am from...I have spent my whole life hating bitching growing and trying to understand the Island. First off the personal, something I've became used to is the fact that every year I will be staying somewhere different, (my mother and sister move around..) but for the past year my step father has been building a (another) nice big home for them all to live in( to try the whole living all together thing again)...It's not ready yet, so in the mean time they are all staying in a tiny, very nice, but tiny cabin that he built on the property...., So that was uncomfortable to say the least. Now the first year I had came back, freshly 18. I was so happy, so excited, to see old friends, to see my school, to walk around town and get coffee and to most importantly feel at home, comfortable with my own surroundings. MY surrou

ndings. Vancouver still being foreign and scary to me. Things were still for the most part how I had left them, and my friends had came back the same. People that hadn't left yet were just figuring out what to do or where to go and it was perfectly normal. Relationships were the same.

I don't really remember what I was like the second year. The only thing that stands out is Paige.

My little sister had now began partying? and having boyfriends...she was almost 15. That was really scary to me. But then the realization of disappearing was the scariest, not just me, everybody I knew my whole life, every little store thats always been sitting there.

You have to understand growing up with only a certain amount of people around you your life is strange, on saltspring you can't walk down a different street and see 60 new faces. Your surrounded my the same ones for 18 years. Give or take. 

This christmas was a experience unlike any other year.

First off I swear that this saltspring island council hunts down teenage girls who are unsure about what they want to do with there lives offers them money and impregnates them to keep the islands population up. 

But thats just my highly offensive take. So anyways, its snowing its christmas I have endless supplies of wine and ..no friends..I got to see one friend first, by making him drive up a mountain to see me and then accompanying my little sister to a party..mistake. Yes I recognize some of these faces but mostly from babysitting, and I am NOT OLD. But on saltspring, 2o is actually 30. I can't say saltspring youth experiences things sooner because we are bored. Because city kids are..city kids. But times have changed and watching half developed 16 year old girls do coke lines in a bathroom. wow. Im not exactly speaking ill mannered of this and I tried so hard to not judge because really, I for one really really cannot talk, but barely 16? that's my sisters age. And thank goodness my sister is one of the smartest girls I know. 

So next week I hear that there is a big gathering at Mobys (local redneck townie bar) Ok that it is REALLY weird saying that when saltspring is really,very, beautiful, artistic, and cultured for the most part. But.....

there I am at my highschool reunion, but with only the people I never ever wanted to see again. Give or take. 

This was it, this was a mix of, people home for christmas that just wanted to get out of the house with there friend/s (aka Remy and myself) baby mammas on a night out, 20 to 30+ plus year olds that have became sluts, coke heads, or labour workers just excited to get wasted in a large group of people. And the rest. 50+ plus? Oh and the country music band. 

To keep from walking around with the worst look of disdain on my face I jumped right into jagger shots and beer ( only after Remy telling me a million times to just have fun!) ...Needless to say I got very drunk, had maybe one meaningful conversation with a old friend. Lasted 5 minutes at the after party and got the hell home. 

So I guess I have to grow up now and stop expecting saltspring to stand still until I get home, to have all my old friends, same hang out spots and the same traditional parties.

When you leave saltspring, the little world you had is gone. 

People actually yell "fucking tourists" at me when I walk by in heels?

I have now become a tourist in a place that was once my whole world!

So goodbye youth! and hello staying at the parents house every christmas with maybe one or two visits from old friends that can always turn you into whatever they loved you for years ago.!
