ok, im gonna give this a go...

SO, i guess i should start back a bit. Me and Leslie left here to go back to where I lived to pick up some friends and visit a bit then go to Saskatoon to go see Tool... Well, we get to town after a 4.5 hour drive. We stop in at where I used to work for a short visit. i go to my car insurance place to change my addy and stuff. we hit up michaels to check out the yarn selection. oh and we went to value village... thi probably took about an hour and a half tops... so then we go to our friend mikes house and we pick up some buddies to go out for supper... well on the way i hit a BIG ASS patch of ice, cant slow down and smash my car (which is supposed to drive 5 of us to Tool the next morning)... SO we are stranded on the other end of town, in FREEZING cold weather and i have to wait for the cops... great. fun times... So this whole thing took like 2 hours to clear up where i had to sit in my car, not on no heat and i froze my ass off.. when it came time to write my statement i couldnt even move my fingers properly to hold the pen... it sucked balls...

so basically, i didnt really give a shit about the car. we were just concerned at how we were going to get to tool.. 6 hours away...
So, in the midst of all of this i lost my book out of m backpack that has all my phonenumbers in it... really cool. made things real easy... NOT.

basically i had to call 2 people and tell them i cant get them out there.. sorry. the third guy i was trying to help him figure out a way to the show... but he was at work and couldnt chat alot, and he was kinda being a bitch about it so i said fuck it.... i havent even figured out how me and leslie are going. he can fend for himself... (turns out he couldnt find a way out to the show, and then cried... whoops)

SO im on the phone all night with various friends who are going we finally find a car that only has 2 people in it and they let us come with them and IT WAS SOOOO SUPER FUN. hahaha i had a blast. the show was fantastic. all of our friends were there and it was just surreal to be seeing tool again... the show was unbelievable...

So we get back to red deer, i give some info to my sister, my keys, and me and leslie bus it back to Golden (which is normally a 4.5 hour car ride turned into a 9 hour bus fiasco)


ALL IN ALL, im ok, my friends were ok, we got to the show... so im not really fretting this whole car thing. its in the shop to be fixed at some point... who knows when... after that i think im selling it to my ex, mike... im ok with not having a car... it will be good to have a break from it..

the only thing that blows.... IS IM GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO at the end of the month and i was supposed to drive.... so now i think we are taking the bus.... 1.5days on the bus... yuck... but its worth it... IM GONNA SEE THE MARS VOLTA!!
that is so effin cool... and. lik 5 more friends from back home are going. me and leslie, a girl we know in SF from burning man is going to meet up with us and like 6 people from Reno that we know from Burning Man will be going as well.... fuck yeah...

And more fun stuff... last night i went to an art show of Man Woman.... hes this crazy hippie Pop Art artist.... with a vagina tattooed on his forehead... yes.. i said vagina... m friend has the pics on his camera so eventually i will get those here to show.. but it was mega cool. i think the website is ManWoman

well. i do have a few pics to show.. nothing knitting related. i have been knitting lots but our friend took a big box of knit things to her work to see if anyone wanted to purchase any of it. so i dont know if i will be able to take pics of everything.. nothing really that fantastic. just hats, and some armwarmers and such...

ok. wow. thats one of the longest posts i have ever written i think...

um yes, i think im done... hope everyone else is doing well...
