This post is brought to you in... a lot of parts.

PART ONE - an apology


So as you know I didn't make it to our skype night last night. This kind of broke my heart a little because talking to the three of you always makes me SOOOO happy. Unfortunately, I had a difficult assignment that required every ounce of my attention. I miss you all and will talk soon! 


PART TWO - Mail 


I got mail from the lovely Dina today :) I will do a separate post about it. But I wanted to say it makes me happy. Walking up to my house I saw an envelope sticking out of the mail box, and I immediately knew who it was from. Dina always has the best envelopes :) 


PART THREE - Rage


Today is November 10th, making tomorrow Remembrance day. I have nothing but utmost respect towards the day, which I think is a reasonable expectation to have of all members of our society. Unfortunately, this appears not to be the case. As I was walking through the University Center yesterday I passed some boys who were distributing poppies. I noted that they were from a Fraternity. Now I know it's never a good idea to generalize, but many people do have set opinions about "frat boys" - that they can be loud, cocky etc. I have met some very nice Fraternity members that do not fit this stereotype. After my experience with the poppy distributors however, I can see where these ideas come from. 
These boys were trying to encourage people to wear a poppy  - an honourable act certainly, but the way which they did this APPALLED me. How would you react if someone said to you (and I quote):
" You can afford pizza so you can afford a poppy, don't be cheap" 
" Do you want soldiers to die?" 
Remembrance day is about RESPECT, and HONOUR, neither of which were being represented by these boys. I am ASHAMED to say that they are students at my school. Their disrespectful and blatantly rude, obnoxious behaviour is NOT something that should ever be tolerated. 


I have e-mailed my campus newspaper about this and I hope we can shed some light on the issue.


PART FOUR - which is actually part TWO of my EPIC ADVENTURE WEEKEND


I left us all at Friday night, when I departed from M&M's lovely company. 


I headed over to Dina's house, where Valerie had already made herself comfortable. Dina was on her way home from work and called Valerie's cell phone to let her know. I picked up and proceeded to squeee over our plans and everything else while running away from V who was trying to get her phone back :P 


The three of us piled into Lyra (damn she's sexy) and headed off to DRAG ME TO THE BOMBER. A drag show being put on at Dina's university. It was pretty much amazing.  There was a LOT of talent and good music and dancing. We got to meet Dina's lady-friend, and I very much approve. She is sweet, and nice, and fun, and slightly awkward, and caught on to my quirks pretty quickly telling me "No, Dawn, shoes don't sweat".


A hetero-normative view may have perhaps found all the couples and costumes at the show a little odd, but just to twist society around, the most offensive thing there in MY opinion (as well as the opinions of Valerie and Dina) was a straight couple in front of us who were constantly completly all over each other and groping and grinding and generally being inappropriate for a public setting.Not to mention that they were ALSO rude to Valerie. My goodness.


After the show we all crashed in Dina's room and had to get up fairly early in order for Valerie and I to catch a bus....


and THAT is for the next installment of EPIC ADVENTURE WEEKEND


I hope this Massive amount of information hasn't overwhelmed you too badly. 
Love you all!
