November 19th

So, yesterday, here's what happened. The day started off fine and dandy, I went to the High School to watch some fight scenes and do some dancing. Lots of awesome! I pretty much remembered all the choreography, which was nice considering this one song I've just been learning for a few times. And ya, it's dance, so it was really fun. Oh, Rachel seems to have made some good friends, so that's a relief! Anyways, after that I came home and talked with Grace for a while, then had a shower, then took Luke, Josh, and Kurtis to the church for band practice, and then headed off to Calgary. The roads were pretty good, so I made some pretty good time. Got into Calgary at about five to six, and the show is at seven thirty, so I kinda felt dumb for having such a huge amount of extra time, but whatever, it worked. I parked in Marlburoug and took the C-train to the school, having to only transfer once, so only about ten minutes of standing in the cold. Got to the school and bam! There was Juli and Sharon making popcorn and cotton candy! Hugs for everyone! So I helped out with that until Ashley and Megan arrived, as well as David! Haven't seen that kid since the last time! Which was when he left school. Dang. Anywho, that was a great reunion time and we all made popcorn bags together and it was great. And then the popcorn machine started burning and set off the fire alarm, so the show was postponed for about twenty minute while we waited for the firemen. Good times. Finally the show began. Godspell. Put bluntly, it was fantastic, like, holy crap was it amazing! It's basicly the entirety of the story of Jesus set inside a circus! So it's a whole lot of clowning, some amazing acrobatics, some singing, some dancing, and getting into the audience a whole lot! Hanna actually had a moment when she came up to me unexpectedly and scared the crap out of me! It was great! It was such an interesting show to watch, because it kinda had a story, but at the same time it was a bunch of odd characters acting out different stories in really interesting ways. And there was a high school student in it. Not sure what was up with that. I must say, this show put pretty much anything we did last year to shame. (not really, but kinda) Yeah. It was fantastic, so there was Hanna, who was a really brightly colored clown, Andrew was the ringleader, then Brandon was Jesus (big surprise), Esther was dressed in a bright vest and hat a top hat with a flower stuck in it and she was the show off, Courtney was the wide eyed innocent one in a pink tutu, Geena was the exotic beauty as expected, Mabe was a grumpy guy with suspenders, and Kendal was the strong man! Ooooo I missed that kid! So after the show we all had happy reunions and huge hugs, and some carrot cake, and lots of laughing with Kendal. You know, I didn't even know how much I missed him until yesterday. It was just so fun to see him and it was just great! Then we all (my class, most of Kendal's class, and most of the first years) went down to the Kilk for food and visiting. I ended up sitting with a bunch of first years, and managed to actually carry on some good conversations so it was great! And I also found out that one of the first years I went to high school with. So I met Sarah, Daryl, Karmen, Jessica, and that's it. And then Steven joined us later on, which was also great! Then everyone started to leave at about twelve thirtyish, (I had somehow managed to lose my watch on the way there) but I ended up staying until about one thirty. Finally said the goodbyes and nice to meet yous, and headed off to the train station. Took the train down to downtown and got off for the transfer and proceeded to stand there for about twenty minutes. Then a lady came up and asked me if I knew when the last train was coming and I said I thought it was at two. After another lady came and asked the same thing we found out that there actually were no more trains as the last train left at about one thirty. Lame, so the lady and I went down to Macs to see if we could get a cab, we couldn't because the checkout guy said that it's a bad neighborhood, so they won't send a cab, so we went to a nearby hotel and asked there, there we were told that the cab companies weren't picking up the phone, so we would just have to wait and hope a cab came along, so we waited outside for a few minutes and then managed to find one, and then took it on down to Marlburoug. I think the lady was really glad that I was going through this all with her. She was working the late shift at Wendys and was just trying to get home to Rundle. So I think she was okay. Then I brushed off the car and headed home! Got home at about three. Good times. Oh! And then I had an odd dream! There was this really big auditorium and this big guy (he was one of the first years that didn't come to Kilk) was standing on the stage and he was going to be shot with this big fake sniper rifle. It was just a huge cardboard cut out at the back of the room. And then the lady that I met at the train station came in all decked out and did some supreme ruling stuff and the guy was saved! I then got to talk to her a bit and she told me that she was only called to do this sort of thing every once in a while, but I told her she was awesome and I wished her the best of luck! Then I woke up. All in all, a fantabulous day!
