Kay, I had the craziest day today. It felt really long, and I just realized that it was only one day. At least it was a Friday.
So I spent the first half of my morning counting the minutes til ten am, when the tickets for my Matt Good and Joel Plaskett shows went on sale. Then I spent the rest of the morning waiting for lunch. After I had my lunch, I went outside with Billy and Rebecca and they listened as I squealed when I got my dad's texts. Then Billy got all concerned and asked if he was competing with Matt Good. I told him no, because Matt is as old as my dad and got fat since he stopped touring. Also, I love you Billy. :)
So then I spent the afternoon getting angry with intergers before realizing that I was subtracting when I should have been adding (that reminds me, I have to do my homework). After that was english but that was okay because I love english and my englich teacher loves me. I'm one of the few whose vocabulary includes words more than eight letters long and I read Animal Farm on my own in the sixth grade. But I guess that I just read too much, and thats not neccesarily normal.
Anyway, when I got home from school, the house was full of these short little people things. Then I realized that they were my brothers friends and that they were annoying me. So I called Aaron, and he said he was on his way to town for the Tricyclr Race. If you don't know what I'm talking about, the following may seem strange.
Basically, the tricycle race is the biggest thing that happens in town all year. The local used car dealership gives away tons of money to charities. All you have to do is register your organization, hockey team or highschool to:
a)ride a tricycle around the lot
b)get a partner and wheel-barrow each other around the lot
c)participate in pool noodle hockey
d)climb into a car with 20 or more of your classmates
e)build a float for the parade

Theres a 50/50 draw, you can win lawn mowers, TV's, bikes, one year they gave away three ATVs.
All in all, its huge, okay? Oh, and you have to wait for at least 10 minutes to get your coffee at Tim Hortons. Billy and Aaron and I went and got some stuff during the parade because we knew there wouldn't be anyone there, and then we loitered and gloated because we had somewhere to sit. :)

Tonight, when we were walking back to my house after the fireworks, Billy and Aaron were talking and I just thought about how Billy and I had just started dating this time last year. Last year at the Tricycle Race was when we held hands for the first time. I know that sounds kinda weird, but I've always been kind of a touch-me-not, and it was kind of a big deal for me. So I started thinking about how a year ago, I never would have thought we'd still be together. I don't think I would have beleived that I fell in love with him.
You know when you meet someone and you know for sure that they've changed you, your life? Thats what Billy is to me. I hope thats what I am to him. He makes me feel not so afraid, like I could mess up really bad and it wouldn't matter all that much. (Actually, thats kinda what happened tonight and I'm not gonna say exactly what happened but it was awkward and he just said "Would it make you feel better if I said I still loved you?" It was one of the sweetest things he ever said to me.)

So, yeah. It was basically a great night. I met a few new people, caught up with some old friends, got in trouble for sitting on the hood of a car (or as I like to say 'being a teen with other teens looking like we're up to no good and all jakced up but really just looking at the stars), screamed, spent eight dollars on candy, fell chasing a stationary twelve-year-old with a cell phone, and just had a great time. And it didn't even rain this year. :)
