Happy Halloween

love is just a lyric

My dad is moving out.

I think subconsciously I've been waiting for this to happen ever since last summer. Nothing has changed and I'm not sure if it ever will. It's hard to remember a time when my parents were just happy. I've never looked up to their relationship and I'm afraid of turning into them.

Right now I'm more worried about my mom and John. Because I don't have any sort of relationship to him and I probably won't even notice that he's gone. But my mom is taking it really hard and I have no idea what to say. Last time she stayed in bed for three days. John doesn't know yet but my dad wants me to take him into work so he can find out what's going on. I'm really not looking forward to that. I'd rather just wait in the car. John will be crushed. He doesn't have much a relationship with him either but I know he'll be scared. I'm really afraid for him. I wish he had a better male role model.

Last night John, Steve, Holly and I went to Wonderland's Halloween Haunt. I had been wanting to go for a few years so it was nice to finally go with them. I wasn't really sure what to expect but they went all out. They had a bunch of mazes and haunted houses set up, decorations everywhere and all the staff was decked out in costumes. It was cold but worth it. And we went on the bungee jump! I loved it but it was so cold I could barely scream. We left Toronto around 12 and I was exhausted. I ended up missing two of my exits and it took twice as long to get home as it should have. I miss the days when I was a kid coming home from wonderland and could just pass out in the car. Anyway, it was really great seeing them and their new apartment.

I should probably post some pictures from their wedding last summer which I've been too lazy to do.

My cousin Peter!


My grandparents.
My uncle Rick and aunt Brigid

They were so cute!
I really like it when wedding pictures don't look super posed.
These wedding cakes were amazing. And some of the best cupcakes I've ever had. I want to get into baking just to make some.

They took lessons so the tango could be their first dance.

Holy fuck: !

Here's to Rachel's speedy recovery!

Self-Portrait Arm $30
Now here's a great idea! A simple cure for "Myspace Photo" syndrome - you know, that all-too-common self-portrait, where you're off-center, with your head half cut-off, one arm sticking up all awkward holding the camera? Well, no more! Now your candid shots can look like fine art photos with the help of this ingenious hand-held extendable camera arm. Attaches to any camera base and telescopes from 8" to 18" for the ultimate in pro-on-the-go photos. Fully adjustable and built from strong and lightweight polycarbonate and aluminum, with a reference mirror and a removable tripod base for surface-mounted shots. Comes in a padded carrying case with a handy belt clip. Imported. Wipe clean.

HAHAHAA - If I ever saw anyone using this I would die laughing.
