The Blogging Birthday Girl

I am now posting as an adult: legally, if not quite otherwise. Yesterday was my 18th birthday. The day began with Corn Pops, then philosophy class and more discussion of Plato's Euthyphro. Seriously interesting, however the professor has a tendency to make random remarks that I would consider idiotic if the man was not a philosophy professor, and I do not want to think you can be both a philosophy prof and an idiot simultaneously. Such thoughts offend my sensibilites, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, even if he did butcher the story of Oedipus.

After that I met my Aunt Barb and Uncle Chris and they took me out for lunch. We went to Mexicali Rosa's by Dow Lake, and it was positively delightful and much appreciated. It is very nice to know that I will be seeing more of them now that I live closer to them.

After that I did some reading, because birthday or no these things must be done.

Then Ian accompanied me down to the bus station so I could purchase the ticket that will send me to Kingston this weekend. I wil be going to Queen's University for their homecoming. The Ottawa Gee-Gees are playing the Queen's Golden Gaels, and I am looking forward to seeing the Gaels thrashed... though I ought not to count my proverbial chickens before they have hatched. It will be fun nonetheless. I am eager to see some of the legendary Queen's spirit in action, so Dave can dance and make an ass of himself while I cheer for the Gee-Gees. Good times. I leave Friday morning, will be spending the afternoon with my relatives (if all goes according to plan) and the rest of the weekend with Dave and his new friends, I suppose. I hope to see Catherine at some point as well.

After arriving home from the bus station, there was a nice little group of people waiting not-so-patiently for me so we could go out to dinner. Thanks to Cory, Andrew, Ian, Amanda, and Cassie for taking me on that little adventure! Damn, that was some good Tiramisu. Thanks for spoiling me to death in your various ways, guys. I appreciate it. Thanks to all the people who called or sent me an email or talked to me on MSN (or more than one of the three), it was so nice to hear from you. Remember, we don't need a special occasion to have a chat! I'm always here for you if you need me.

My family sent me a fantastic bag of stuff with Tyler when he came to visit this past weekend. I feel so loved! Also, thanks for the cake!

To round off my birthday I had to attend a meeting of all the CASPAR (like our rez association for academic support and social stuff and all that) representatives. I represent our floor at meetings and am in charge of making everyone on the 20th floor knows what services and fun stuff is available to them.

I am also heading up Halloween activities. We are going trick-or-treating to the Prime Mininster's and the Governor General's houses. What else? We shall soon see... but I do know that now I need a good idea for a costume. Any suggestions? I'd love to hear from you!

So now I'd better get back to taking Psychology notes. I have a lot to do if I am to leave Ottawa in good standing this weekend.

Exit Chelsea, stage left.
