Ok, I’m back. I haven’t slept in over a week. Why? Because I’ve been drunk. Super-smashed-face-loaded drunk.
I can honestly say Ottawa kicked my other vacations’ asses. Hard. Unfortunately, I don’t have the heart to update just yet…yes, I’m suffering from that dreaded Travel Hangover. Roll your eyes, it’s real, bitches. And it hurts, a lot. When you spend a week surrounded by some of the most incredible people on the planet, you realize what you’re missing when you’re not there. I am overcome with guilt (for not seeing enough of anybody) and anxiety and regret. And a terrible loneliness I’ve never felt before.
The trouble with having a big extended family is that you realize how much you have to lose. My family has recently been hit with an explosion of sequential bad news. Like fire from a machine gun. I’m afraid my family might start tumbling down around me, and I feel so helpless.
I need to sleep and clear my head, so I can get to the exciting, upbeat stuff tomorrow. My GOD did we party! Here’s my recipe for Ottawa:
1 pound of BIRTHDAY AWESOMENESS and free tequila shots all night long
1 cup of family love (add alcohol for flavour)
½ cup of hangover induced vomiting
A tsp of martial bliss
A tbsp of HAPPINESS
A dash of insanity
AND THIS:
I blacked out shortly after this

glad you’re back. Looking forward to the blackout memories, umm well you know what I mean.
Martial bliss? Sounds like the name of a fancy roundhouse kick. haha… spelling jokes…
I LOVE that dress!! …Shirt? Either way, it’s awesome. I’m glad you had fun on your trip! I miss the family. But Mom, Bro and Kendra came in to visit me!
Yay!

sorry for the hangover:(
oh. that picture is priceless.
and on the big family – if you have one, you should be close and enjoy them. cus, some of us poor unfortunate folks don’t have much family =( i would be referencing myself in this scenario.
just saying. but i know that means moving from your fabulous city, so i don’t mean to bring that up. haha
hahahaha, i totally agree, and it’s something i’m seriously considering in the future…but my ma and pa live within the province, so it’s nice to be close to them too. TOO MUCH FAMILY!!! i’ll adopt you!!!
Hahahahaha, I do know what you mean. sorta.
BAAHAHAH i hire you as my new editor. excellent. and it’s a dress…albeit a slutty one. i’m gonna wear it to work.
of course you can!! the more the merrier. helps if you have red hair though, might have to do something about that.
