Mark: “So wait, you’ll call me after you come back?”

i’ve seen a million different places
but through the crowds and all the faces
i’m still out there looking for you
where are you now?
i’m trying to get by with
never knowing at all
what is the chance
of finding you out there?
or do i have to wait forever?
i write about the things i’ll never know
and i can’t find a moment just to slow down
it makes me think i’ll never have the chance
to figure out
what it’s all about

Allan (on the phone): “Hi Dad..I’m on the highway……..Yeah, Jacqueline’s brother is driving……………yeah, I had a lot of fun, we played volleyball, frisbee, football. And we sang songs, and it was pretty cool……Yup, OH, and btw, I kinda crushed my fingers. We were moving a boulder……..Yah dad, it’s nothing serious…..Yah dad, I know, I never change………..Yah, I’m going to grow up…..But I’m a big boy now…..Oh and Dad, we might need to go to the hospital tomorrow. Yeah, nothing serious though…Okay dad, bye.”
what a long day. can i try the selective memory erasing thing though??
let’s see, start from the beginning…
mom woke me up at 6:30…this is worse than when I have school. but mmm…mcdonald’s breakfast burritos:)
Car ride to Waterloo…Stacie Orrico, Fefe Dobson, John Mayer, some Avril Lavigne, some Michelle Branch.
Aiyah, but we got mixed up on the highway when there were hwy 7, hwy 8 and hwy 86(?) signs. I suck at following directions=/ daddy: “excuse me, do you know how to get to the university of waterloo?”
people: “Oh, um…I’m not sure, I don’t live in waterloo. But I think you passed it long ago.”
haha…a gas station guy gives us directions and FINALLY, we get there. But where is parking lot X? =P
Okay, registered and everything (It was “Faculty of Applied Health Science Day”) Blah blah blah…AHS Information Session “This is how you use the internet..” *yawn*
LUNCHTIME! AHS BBQ, burgers and hotdogs…Look it’s Grace Fan!
Daddy to Grace’s Dad: “Why does he look so familiar??”
Me: “Alex. Him. Car Accident. Remember??”
Dad: “oohhhhhhhhhh”
mm…I got my first UW t-shirt:
University of Waterloo
Faculty of Applied Health Science
Health Studies and Gerontology 2004
on the back of it: Don’t worry 
Be healthy!
Other nice tidbits
Grace and her dad’s conversation..
Grace: “Daddy, you’re so going to miss me right?”
Grace’s dad: “What? Think so highly of yourself”
…somehow the topic of being homesick comes up…
Grace’s dad: “Homesick? You know wat is homesick? When you’re home I am sick!”
Yeah, so waterloo was really cooooooooooooooool. The campus ain’t as pretty as Queen’s, but today’s weather was so beautiful everything was bright and cheery. Met a few health studies people…There only seems to be a few asians in the program. hehe…
Okay, RESIDENCE tours. My dad is so so cool. At Village 1 rez “yeah, this is just like the rooms at Sheridian College…Sheridian”
MACKENZIE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s so nice there, but only 320 spots. *keep praying*
And after that, UW bookstore! Laura got a t-shirt too;)
Drive back to toronto…More Michelle Branch, Starfield, Delirious?
Dad: “What do you think of guys who write songs for girls”
Me: “Awwww…that’s the sweetest thing! I need a guy who would do that for me!”
Dad: “Yeah, I wrote a poem for your mom when we were dating…and set it to a song too.”
Me: “Dad, you missed the exit..”
***
At wal-mart (buying juice)…
Me: Hey, why not buy this stuff…”Just add w–rum or vodka..”
Summer Beach Party
Me: Guys, be CAREFUL. Moving heavy boulders is dangerous.
Allan: “Ah shit..” runs away.
*sighs* Please be okay, hope there’s no broken fingers:(
=/ that’s why i can’t be a doctor.
I saw him shaking his change in a coffee cup
Asked for a dollar but I told the man to give it up
Said he’s hungry I don’t think that’s true
I bet my dollar he’d just go spend it on booze
I turned my back on him and began to walk away
But then I heard a little voice inside me say
What if it’s really true what if he’s hungry
What if it’s not for him, does he have a family
How’d you get here
How’d you end up on the street
Where did it go wrong
Wonder what I’d do if it were me
A new point of view
A walk in your shoes
I wish I could get inside your head
To see what you see
When you look at me
Cause I could’ve lived your life instead
It was 90 degrees in the summer heat
She was veiled in black all the way down to her feet
This is America doesn’t she know
Somebody take her shopping, buy her some clothes
She came up to me, I didn’t understand a word
I was about to leave then another thought occurred
She might be really lost, scared and frustrated
I should try again to see what she’s saying
How’d you get here
How’d you get so far from home
What was it that made you leave
Wonder what I’d do if it were me
A new point of view
A walk in your shoes
I wish I could get inside your head
To see what you see
When you look at me
Cause I could’ve lived your life instead
I want to see….see what you see
And I want to feel…. feel just what you feel
A new point of view
A walk in your shoes
I wish I could get inside your head
To see what you see
When you look at me
Cause I could’ve lived your life instead (2x)
