Canada Day 2005

Oh, Canada!

Yeah, whatever.

Since I'm not of this world, I don't care much for patriotism.

But Canada is a swell place.

And so was it's day.

Since I can't remember EVERYTHING, I'll just give you a basic picture.

I remember clowns.

Right, that was us. We made balloons for happy, jumping, squealing little children. And some adults. I even caught a runaway helium balloon, but I gave it away to a kid. I planned to make funny voices with that helium. Oh, well. Other things we did that day were speak with a guy who was into politics, and hide from rain under a stage-with-a-roof place, along with a big group of people.

I did mention I was somewhat ochlophobic, right?

After that the "Dog's Teeth" band came along and stole our audience, but we didn't mind, we needed a diversion to get away.
We then returned home, dressed as humans, and drove to the park with the rest of our family.

And we got to attend a concert.

A singer by the name of Marie Chantal Toupin (or something like that) was doing a concert, so we joined in on the hoopla. My mom then got the great idea to give Marie a tract. So I accepted the mission and snuck through the crowds, trailblazing a path for my father to follow.

Security looked harmless.

So my dad crossed my brave little sister, Jeanne D'arc, over the fence and she boldly stuck the tract into Marie's hand, who smiled her thanks and stuck the tract into her pocket.

Mission accomplished.

I just hung around, yelled myself hoarse, waved my hands in the air and caught a smile from Marie.

I even put Jeanne on my shoulders and told her to look enthusiastic and concert like.

Which cut the circulation in my arms and gave me one heck of a cramp later.

All major thrill points.

The drums, bass, and electric guitar weren't half bad.
They did some pretty cool solos.

And left me half deaf.

I love kids.
Especially those who climb up on stage, give the singer too much love and threaten to end the concert.
There were present at Marie's concert. A little gang of them surrounded her and made such a pretty picture.

The fireworks started a little too soon, I hate having to squish through crowds of drunk people.

The rain right after ended Canada Day in style.

Which is more than I can say for this post.
