Rainbow Suspenders

Time in Toronto has come to an end.

I was actually, technically in Etobicoke, but I tell everyone Toronto. Who can really tell the difference, though? For those of you who answered "people who live in Toronto and Etobicoke", you are correct. But you're also too serious to take a joke. I'm just kidding. You're probably too smart to take a joke.

Still, I'm off the reservation (my apartment here) and Winnipeg bound on Wednesday.

I'm movin' for a lotta reasons. I don't really want to get in to them. Let's just say I'm moving for the betterment of humanity. I'd be happier in The 'Peg than I would be out here. It'd be better for my walk if I wasn't here. I'd be able to be with the ol' ball 'n' chain if I was in the great province of Manitoba. Would you look at that. I just told you the reasons I'm moving back. SWEET, RIGHT? Nah, it's cool, bro.

I've really loved my time out hurr. I've met some amazing people (mostly the people I live with). They've been supportive and awesome and perfect roommates. Especially when they do big loads of dishes, or come with me to get my phone fixed, or buy me a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops, or split pizza with me, or laugh at the very unfunny things I say. They were really the best part about being in this silly city. So, if Evan, Kyle, the other Kyle, Steve, Meesha, Jordan, Xander (bro, no one ever told me how to spell your name), Brendan, Erin, or Alix (you rule, girlfriend. Show me them teeth while we listen to RENT) sees this, thanks for being AWESOME sauce.

I'd like to say some of the things I found funny, awesome, or really awesome:

  • "Boiled goose"
  • "Fah-bul Doose"
  • The Nerf Shotguns.
  • The plastic lips that Evan got a dart stuck to WHILE it was on the ceiling.
  • My going away get-together. There was too much food and no one had cake. I also spent all the time Skyping Robot. I apologize. I just love her so. 

Our attempt at the Century Club

Our failure at the Century Club
(notice everyone is happier - well, except me, but my phone's broken)

  • Alix and I singing the entire album of RENT. Well, only the good songs that didn't make us want to cry.
  • Kyle giving me TTC directions. You're the smartest most capable man I know with directions.
  • Nazi Zomgiez.
  • Hooker Hungry Hippos.
Topic: What's the first thing you look for when you get in a building?
Jordan: Windows.
Steve: Places ninjas could hide.
Caleb: Places to fart where no one could smell or hear me.
  • Walking to that park in the middle of the night just to look at the ocean (which, honestly, did not look that spectacular).
  • The Halloween party that I attended for 30 seconds before I went to Skype.
  • Me being an asshole at East Side Mario's and apologizing with a 30% tip.


Playing Pass the Popcorn and BEATING IT.




  • Egg-freakin'-licious.
  • Evan's facial hair.
  • Steve's reaction during Pass the Popcorn when he wasn't the first person to guess Toy Story. "It's my favourite movie of ALL-TIME!"
  • Xander (I swear, that's just how I'm going to forever spell your name) destroying ALL of my Fallout: New Vegas savegames by killing every other character in the game. Although, it was pretty great seeing you wipe out all the Great Khans.
Babar: the aptly named beer fridge.

Those crepes we made that one time.

I'm not sure if you guys ever saw how the Internet was hooked up upstairs, but this is how it was. No wonder it would always crap out on us. Another reason could've been our constant torrent-ing.
  • Whenever you guys studied for a test. I would add nothing helpful to the conversation.
  • "Are you ready for Halo: Reach?"   (Not Safe For Work, probably)
  • Kyle watching 500 Days of Summer 3 or 4 nights in a row.
  • Being in your movies (Waving Lactations)
  • Headbands.
That's all I could think about. If you remember any more things, let me know and I'll update this list. I'd like to look back at it and say, "Cool, a list."

Thanks for such a dynamite time in T-Dot. Now, never talk to me again. Nah, I'm jokin', bros.

P.S.
Ali, if you're reading this, you inspired me to write. Congratulations. NOW I AM TIRED!
