The fall semester of school has ended since I last wrote. Things went pretty good aside from getting a C- in my chemistry class, ugh. I flew back to Vernon for the Christmas break and I was super excited to get home to see the family and just chill for a few weeks and not have to worry about school and all the other responsibilities of living on my own. It was really nice being back home, having a kitchen that is fully stocked with food all the time is really nice and having the family around to cook you dinner and drive you around is the best ever. The only bad thing about being back was that I didn't get to see Lennea for 2 weeks cause she had to work and stay back in North Van.
So I got back and pretty much just hung out and did Christmas shopping for the first week or so I was there. Saw all my friends did some fun stuff, it was all a good time. After being home for about a week Christmas rolled around which was awesome. I didn't really have much I wanted for Christmas so I had a tough time whenever my parents or Lennea asked me what I wanted. I ended up getting some pretty good loot though. My parents got me an acoustic guitar, some clothes, and a bunch of other odds and ends, Connor got me Fallout 3 and a Foxtrot book which I was hyped on, Seen Chromly stepped it up and bought me the new Spiderman game for the Ps3 which I totally didn't expect and it made my gift to him (Wildlife Zoo for PC) look like a weeeeeeeeak ass gift. Ramsay got me some loot too, a Trevor Linden action figure and some flannel which I actually wore today, minters. We went out to my granny's later in the day and had some Christmas dinner which was delicious.
Next day we had the Hutchinson family over for brunch. Karen went all out and made a crazy meal for everyone and I had a good time seeing all my family. The highlight of that get together was 100% uncle Rick rocking a leather jacket, pony tail and drinking beers he was carrying around in a grocery bag. Pretty gnarly considering it was like 11 in the morning.
A couple days after Lennea came to visit. I picked her up in Kelowna and we hung out with Jess and Ramsay for a bit. Later that night we exchanged our Christmas presents. She got me lots of awesome stuff including Dead Space for ps3, The Dark Knight, Grindhouse, a new Vans wallet, and some other smaller stuff. Thanks babe! I spent the next few days hanging with her and our friends.
On New Years we went to Togo's where Steve works and hung out there for an hour or so, so Lennea and the other party animals could start to get their drink on. After that we headed up to Silver Star where ol' Davey Kurbis was having a get together at his cabin. It was really cool to get up there and see all my old friends from high school, some of which I hadn't seen in a really long time. Kaelen baked a pumpkin in the oven for everyone. Once it got close to midnight we strolled down to the village for the countdown. When the clock struck 12 everyone cheered and started hugging, Dave Burroughs was extra stoked on the new year thanks to lots of booze. A bit after midnight some beef started between one of Connor's friends and some French dudes. A big brawl broke out and lots of cops got involved and they started pepper spraying everyone. It got pretty wild. After it all got sorted out it just started right back up again and Dave ended up getting hit by a cop and so did his girlfriend Haley. A bunch of drunken tough guy-ness ensued and people were all upset because they were drunk. It was funny to laugh at. Tyler Holm also almost got beat up cause he asked for a girls number, she spat in his face and he laughed and then her boyfriend got involved and Tyler did help the matter by saying that the whole thing was really funny and just laughed in the guys face. Good times. We hung out at Dave's cabin some more and then headed home.
The rest of the break we just hung out with friends, did some bowling and relaxed. I enjoyed it very much.
I am now back in Vancouver and the weather in miserable. Pissing rain and everything is wet and cold. Shit sucks, but my classes seem like they are going to be pretty easy. I am diggin my schedule cause I got no early morning classes and I am not taking any more bogus sciences. This friday we are going to Yuk Yuk's comedy club cause it is Lennea's 22nd birthday, what a dinosaur. That should be a fun time. Canucks won by the way 4-2, nice.
Anyways thats all for now. See ya.
