Sad stage

SO!

1 day before leaving, I find myself a bag of mixed emotions... really sad to leave my very best friends and really excited about getting away from the craziness I call life and going into a completely different atmosphere.

I will really miss my girlfriends, Adora and Vicki, the most... They are the ones who have been there for me in a way only best girlfriends can be. I will also miss my family... Dad, Barb, Ryan (... no you can't stay at my house when I'm gone), Sean(sorry about cancelling karaoke tonight... I was tired) and mom.

Back to girlfriends, though. Vicki has been staying with me for the past week and has kept me sane through all the turmoil of me getting ready to go and her moving to Montreal and on top of that my cat getting sick (I was soooo sad). Adora lent me her car almost everyday so I could get all of my pre-departure errands finished. Such a sweet wonderful ADORAble girl... hee hee. Adora Vicki Alexe and I all went to St-Jean last weekend to drop my car (Kirby) off and move Vicki to Montreal. We finished it all in one day and had enough time to eat dinner with my dad, grand-father and mother and brother. We rock. Tomorrow is really going to suck because Vicki is going to Montreal indefinitely at 6PM and it is the last time her Adora and I will be together for a loooong time. and then it's just me and Adora on Saturday at 4PM at the train station. That is really going to suck. And the kicker is that we are all a bunch of sucky babies and will cry for ages... exaggerated drama style. We have never been away from each other for more than a week. Dude. But again this will be good for me because I will be forced to face my own deamons without AVA (Adora Vicki Afton.. I know - we're so silly). But enough of the sucky-baby crap.

I spoke to my Grand-father today - he sounds really great on the phone! I lent him my car while I'm gone so he can put-put around and get his errands done... like taking Grand-Maman to St-Hubert for dinner... she's so cute. I'll miss them very much. When we were finished dinner at my dad's last week I hugged them all and had a hard time letting go - again with the sucky-baby.

I'm probably not going to get a chance to write again until I get to Burkina-Faso. But my blackberry is loaded with songs as is my computer, and I'm armed with ear plugs and a sleeping mask... Bring it on, 24-hour travel time!!!! Wish me luck and I'll see you all on the other side!
