Happy New Years!

Today has been an... exciting day. I woke up at 11:30 (as there was no church) and was lazy for the majority of the day. As one can imagine, much idle-ness in me results in not the best mood ever... Plus I was feeling kind of lonely due to no one being at my house and not being able to do much... But then I got out some lego and have spent the last three hours sorting and building things with it. Man, I'm such a geek.

Cabin-ing was exciting... I slept a lot... and worked on this puzzle a lot. I think Ian had much fun, for he played hockey with my family. He was really excited about playing it and it seemed as if he now has a desire to take up playing hockey... I guess if he did do this, I would go and watch - much more faithfully than watching John's games (yes! for 1 game in 3 years!) But poor Ian was witness to my family playing Tile Rummy - the game in which whomever makes the most noise generally wins - where my brother and my mum each won a game.

New Years Eve was fun... First Ian and I went to Joey Tomatoes in Crowfoot half an hour earlier than planned - which was actually a really good idea, for if we had arrived at 5, there would have been a considerably longer wait (even though we didn't have to wait at all) and when we left at 6:20, there were people EVERYWHERE in the foyer... But it was a nice dinner... I don't like avocadoes... they're really gross. After J.T's we went to starbucks, where Ken told some pretty exciting stories of his elementary school career... the proceeded to go to Memoirs of a Geisha. Ian was quitely smart and bought tickets ahead of time, for there were lines and people everywhere. The movie was really well done, it appeared to be quitely continuous... it was interesting to see how the protagonist grew up over the period of (I'm assuming) 21 years... for when she was 9, she wasn't very assertive and free spirited, then when she was 15 she was very unsure of herself, then when she was 30 she became more sure of herself and what she wanted to do... One thing that bothered me was how creepy the old Japanese men were - one guy liked this guy from when she was 9 years old until she was 30... *gah*

After the movie, we went to Ken's house and played this Star Wars Lego Episodes 1, 2 & 3 video game thing... Ian and Ken managed to beat all of episode 2 in a very short amount of time (ie. a bit more than an hour). Then Laurel and I were champions and played a couple chapters of episode 1... it's really amusing to make chairs dance (and make these things do the disco hahahahaha) and to have characters blow up as bits of lego when they die...

Then it was Happy New Years! After this, I took Ian back to his house... and stayed there for a while, which was exciting... I didn't get home until some time around 2... apparently Ian phoned my house at about 2 to make sure that I got home safely, and I was pretty sure that I was home around this time, however, I do not remember at all as to whether the phone rang or not... I think I was really tired... In fact I'm pretty sure I was really tired as I almost fell asleep sitting on the step by Ian's front door. oh dear.

I should go and play more lego or something... or at least clean up... then sleep for I think I am starting to become sick as I feel continually tired and very stuffed up in my head. Hopefully my dad will go and pick up these photos at some point, for I would like to see them!
