Right... I'm back. Sorry about the interruption to my last post. Realized that I rather wanted to watch a movie and then realized that I was late to go and pick up my Grandma for our mini-vacation.

Back to the previous entry. So I left the stag party pondering why it was that a 'Christian' would choose to get really drunk two nights before his wedding when I'm quite sure he has done that sort of thing very few times before. Is this his last ditch attempt to do everything that he wanted to before he got married? If so I must admit I'm rather sad that that's the only other thing he wanted to do before tying the knot.

So I made my way from the Stag back downtown with the intention of going home. Got slightly sidetracked for a few minutes when J called and told me to come down to the pub for a while. Got there just soon enough to have my friend JD attack me and tell me that I was coming to the bar with her. We settled on her getting a ride with me to the bar and then me sneaking away while she was molesting a bouncer. Came home went to sleep.

Work up early Friday morning and went to work. Got home from work and decided that I really wanted to drive me car again so I got in and drove to Penticton just for something to do. I know lame but I enjoyed it.

Saturday morning I again got up early and ran over to the church to help out with a car wash. I vacuumed cars for a while and met a really cute girl. Then I went home. At home I basically wasted a little time before I headed out to the aforementioned grooms wedding. Luckily he was in much better shape than the last time that I had seen him and the wedding was beautiful if not hot (28dg) and boring. I soon ditched the wedding and raced home to get ready for the event of the evening The Okanagan Spring Wine Festival Consumer Tasting! Wheeeeeeee! Unfortunately I had a little too much fun and got extremely drunk. Fortunately one of my friends ended up baby-sitting myself and his girlfriend, who had teamed up to taste wine from all 35 wineries, and the evening ended well.

By all accounts I was a total embarrassment and my darling sister was kind enough to record parts of the 4 phone calls that I made to her. Feeling rather sheepish the next morning when I started getting calls back from friends whom I had left messages for that night. Apparently one of the more entertaining points in the evening that I am fortunate to have come out of unscathed was when I was standing across the street from Kelowna's homeless mission screaming about how much I hated homeless people! Oh lord.

Sunday I woke up quite happily without a hangover (which I have been fortunate enough to never have experienced) and sort of cruised around the apartment doing nothing. I finally settled to watch 'Love Actually', which my room-mate had rented the night before. Ok movie. Then I quickly gathered a few things up for a very impromptu road trip to Nakusp to visit the hotsprings. Let me tell you that trip which involves a very windy single lane highway through the Monashee mountain range was a fabulous test of the Focuses abilities. The car passed with flying colours! Loving the car even more now.

Trip was very good and Grandma and I had a good time together. I do have to admit thought that it takes a lot of patients to be able to successfully travel with ones Grandmother.

I have been noticing lately that I haven't been writing a lot about anything that I'm actually feeling. Many of / most of my entries seem to be a description of my day to day activities. I am going to try to be more introspective from this point on.

I have been told a number of times lately that I have been changing. I have to admit that I have actually been working at making this change happen. By not caring as much about what others think I do believe that I will be happier in the end. So in this vein of thinking I take back any apologies I may have made previously about drinking. I quite enjoyed getting drunk the other night and will quite possibly relive the experience again. Really don't know why I didn't do this before. Who knows what I'll do next...
