So I'm back in Hamilton after a weekend home. It was strange to be there. I had the house to myself for 2 whole days since my brother is in Quebec my dad's apparently in Sudbury and my mother was at a wedding Friday night and playing a show on Saturday. Either way I missed having a guitar around. Even when there's no one around and nothing to do I could waste hours trying to figure out how to play the damned thing.

But I'm home now and Ethel is back in my arms. She was in need of a little tuning, but all in all it was a happy reunion. We're currently working our way through 'Everybody Hurts' and we've mastered the first verse. And when I say mastered I mean we managed to get through it once or twice with minimal mistakes.

The weekend (apart from the lonely house) was pretty decent. I got to see most of the people I wanted to see, not all but pretty close, which is something. I went and saw Foolproof with my friend and neighbour mike on Friday night after a horrendous 6 hour trip home. It was pretty good as far as those types of movies go, and Canadian to boot...

On Saturday I mostly sat around the house and did laundry. That night a bunch of the old gang from high school got together at Victoria’s and we had a fire and some fun. It was nice to see Tyler and Drew again and Lauren, man I hadn't seen her in over a year, which is very sad. Missed seeing Rhiannon, but some things are beyond my control.

The family meal was Sunday and it was great to see everyone again. I haven't seen any of them since I went out west for the summer.

I spent a lot of time on buses this weekend, which was nice to certain extent because I always get a lot of thinking done on the bus, but sometimes too much thinking is a bad thing and too much waiting around at bus stations is a bad thing, but really what harm can thoughts do, right?

I hate 'what if’s there’s no way to change the past and if there was who knows if it would really be better.

I miss Pat. It would have been nice to have him around this weekend. I was reminded how lucky I am to have such an understanding guy by many people this weekend, and they had a point... how many guys would be cool with their girlfriend living with an ex? No matter how ex they might be. I lucked out.

oh, and I got a position tutoring elementry school students two nights a week for $12/h so that's something.
