Trevor's Adventures! :D
 
Adventures in North Bay
Well for starters I'm not in Surrey atm. Taking some time out to just enjoy being out here. Erin's cousin's wedding is sat so I'll be busy then but today (wed) up to sat i can do whatever.

It's really nice to be back. At first I was sad about the North Bay Mall being gutted (1/2 full for the stores in the mall) but I'm sure it'll pick up. Renewal isin't always pretty.

When I first got here I stayed in Calvin /w Erin. That was cool. Our bus ride /w Grey Hound was a long couple of days. We got in to Mattawa's Grey Hound stop only to find we didn't have a ride home. It's like 3am so we walked around a bit, Marshall made a few calls and their grandma got up and gave us a ride. That really rocked.

Got to jump on the trampoline and just kick back out there. That was nice. Erin's family is always nice to me. I got dropped off in North Bay earlier this week and have just been a wanderer the past 2 days. The first night was rough. Got about 2 hours sleep before walking up to airport hill early morning.

I just got up this morning (10am or so today) and feel much better. Chris let me crash on his couch. Way softer then the ground but I enjoy the insideness even more since this city has mosquitoes. I was pretty raw after last night. Least I got to chat with Jen and fix Kelly's pc up. Both good times.

Haven't done any real walking like the night before last. I find I focus better when out and about. Clears my head nice. I really appreatiate being able to see good friends here. I realise lots moved away but distance doesn't stop good friendships. It can sure filter out people you say hi to vs real party members that are not only on your side but are solid people also.

I liked the chat I had about statistics and meeting people being a numbers game. It's hard to not take rejection to heart (trust me...lmfao). I like that RMH Outbound telemarketing I did tho. Remind me that for 5 sales you might need to talk to 500 people to get to the ones that are important. Same with friendships/relationships.

Can't win if you aren't prepared to lose and aren't willing to try (w/o knowing it will succeed beforehand).

Seems lots of people here moved on (like I only know about 5 good peole here I'll be visiting) here in the bay. To new cities, new friends, whatev. It's not hitting me very hard this time around as the other times I came back I had worst experiences and lots of false expectations (thinking everything would be the same after leaving and comming back). I see it as their losses now. I feel lots more complete inside now from knowing I have some really special people (even if only a few) that put me up or keep me in good company.

Writing this at Chris' house as he's still sleeping. The fact that I can go on his pc with his blessing as he sleeps really is something. He told me yesterday that I could even install software (if I thought it could help/wanted to). To me that means a great deal. I always feel good when people put trust in me. Trust like this tho is above and beyond. Can crash at his place and hack away the pc at my leasure. It's very comforting and makes me really feel @ home.

I think one of my favorite thing I like about me is how I can always be ok inside or out, wherever in the country I am, or who I'm around. Sure helps build myself up thinking that anything is possible and that nothing is out of MY reach. I tend to dream big but I find it helps to make big plans, even if you can't reach them for 3 years. Heck even 30 years.

I'm definately not normal by most's standards. I've learned to accept it and even thrive knowing I'm not a bar hopper in a meat market. If I want to walk around back roads and talk with friends instead people won't bring me down saying I'm not "cool". It doesn't even matter what anyone thinks unless they are important to me and I value their opinions. I'd much rather wander around exploring instead of going to a scummy bar in hopes of drinking enough to make the chicks appear hot enough.

I must say I'll enjoy going back to Calvin for a few days this thurs. I miss Erin a lot. Gotta hang with her this weekend. It's nice she doesn't keep me on a leash or anything like that. Comfortable enough to leave me for a few days and see me when she see's me.

Thinking of her lots since I've had crazy long walks to get anywhere in this spread out city. Lots of time to think on my hand. (or time on my hands to think...whatever...lol)

Gotta visit my mom and ted today. sometime this afternoon I'll stop by. Finally found the house # and she said I can crash there if I have nowhere to go. That's good for Ferris area (like 2-3 hours from airport area...lol).
