So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu.

Au revoir, Hague people.

Hello, Toronto.

Joanne's tips for parenting 12 year olds:

Tip 1: Whatever it is they ask you for, say no. You can always change your mind later.

This is pretty damn good advice.

In a recent phone call, my mom suggested that while I'm in town, me, her and my dad take a trip together.

She suggested Manitoulin, which is not too far, but certainly worthy of a weekend trip. We could drive there, stay Saturday night, and then come back Sunday evening.

"Mom," I said. "Do you remember when we were driving to Hoover Dam from Las Vegas, and Dad stopped the car and got out, and told us to go to Hoover Dam by ourselves?"

"Of course."

"Do you remember me saying something at that point about never getting into a car with the both of you again?"

"No."

"Well, I did. And I wasn't kidding."

My mom spent the next ten minutes trying to convince me that this would be a great idea. Eventually, I talked her round to a compromise. Me and her are going to take a Sunday trip to the antique market in Aberfoyle. Dad, we'll work something out later.

But really. Manitoulin.

I have nothing against Manitoulin, but no.

Hell no.

Servos is off taking a holiday in Cambodia. I can't tell you how much this cracks me up.

Yesterday I fell asleep at 10:20 with the computer on. The result? I discover that my friends are crazy.

From GvM:

GvM says:
fibber

GvM says:
you don't love me

GvM says:
you never did

GvM says:
you love your pillow more than you love me.

From V:

V says:
dude

V says:
okay later

V says:
you suck donkey eggs!

From M:

M says:
hey, u there?

M says:
are you ignoring me?

M says:
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

M says:
I'm no longer worthy.

M says:
And, even worse, have run out of single malt, the last bottle of Macallan has been finished.

M says:
terminated, even.

M says:
Arnold, could've learned something here.

M says:
thank god for wodka.

Names have been changed, but I think with a tiny amount of thought we can all figure it out. DIT, you've started a trend.

ps. GvM... I love my pillow more than I love anyone. It goes without saying.

Alleen, your dad called.

Can't talk, dad. Too busy being sick on roller coasters.

------

To update. What I meant to say was I was too busy feeling nauseous on roller coasters, not projectile vomiting. Anyway, it was totally worth it. Goliath is a kick-ass roller coaster. Me and Joanne sat in the front.
