Well, not so much Cochrane, but my friends. As I sit here on the 2nd level of this really tall house, listening to the right earphone of my headphones and watching two dogs having a fight over who gets to sniff my clothes, I know where my friends are. In their beds, at home, still asleep, like I was doing at the same time today. It's wierd, how time and travelling works, you can fly somewhere and be there before you left at home. Or you could be 8 hours ahead of where you're used to being. Hard to explain, but it messes my head up.
I realise now that I am going to find it really hard to leave home and my friends for good. I mean, it'll definitely be different than coming to europe, with everyone speaking the same language instead of a different one and such, but I will still be away from the rolling foothills and rocky mountains of cochrane, alberta. And THEN I start listening to the Rural Alberta Advantage and I start liking them mroe and more each time. It's tragically wonderful.
And I realise I shot myself in the foot a bit while I was here. It literally JUST hit me now that my biggest secret is now known to pretty much everyone that I hang out with on a regular basis. Like, it's great cause now I can finally fucking be MYSELF, but now I think it's going to be super awkward if I ever hang out with warren 1 on 1 again. I mean, I'm not really interested in him and I wouldn't jeopardize what him and Mallory have, but I don't know if he knows that I wouldn't try anything. And I really am nervous to actually talk to him in person when I come back. I mean, jeeeez. I'm fine with girls. But Warren is basically the only guy friend that I have and now it may or may not be awkward. :( I'll see what happens. Hopefully nothing and we can just keep on living like we have been since we've been friends.
Enough about me longing for home! TEXXXEEELLLLL! Fucking beaaauuutiful place. I felt like I was in a place that didn't know what it was. There were bits of rural holland that I'm used to, there was some California beaches and dunes, and maritime buildings and landscapes. It was unnnreal, and I'm defintiely coming back whenever I'm here next. AAANÑND! I'm like brown right now. Got a bitchin farmers tan, but the normally untanned part is just LESS tanned!! Not like pale! It's wondrous! Except I'm pretty sure it's going to fade before I come home cause thats just how much my skin loves me.
And Dutch people have NO idea how to camp. Like omfg it's stupid. A) all the campgrounds had indoor bathrooms and showers with drinking water and maybe a sitting room and a restaurant. WTF. Tarded. B) NO FIREPITS. I was looking forward to having a good ole fashioned campfire but noooooooooooo. -_-
We had a camper, too. So basically it was like living slightly uncomfortably for 2 days when there was probably a hotel/motel about a 5 minute drive away. Whatever, it was pretty fun.
Yesterday Zusan, Lia and I went on like a 35-40 km bike ride around the area. I wasn't really tired at all on account of whenever I have to bike I have to go up like a 60 degree angle. Here its so friggen flat and the only hills are the dikes that are barely anything. We were going up the big dike and I was at the top and they were like halfway up and out of breathe. It was superb. I felt so fit and great about myself at the end of the day, and then I got drunk and had a great talk with Rita!
Today, got up, had breakfast, and went to the stables with Zusan, and I RODE A FUCKIN HORSE FOR LIKE 15 MIN. It was soo fun, but really bumpy and my ass hurts from that and the long ass bike ride yesterday. OH, I really really love european guys. Just putting that out there. There are some ugly ones but lots of hot guys too. Oh, yeah, so the horse ride, i stopped because it went WAY faster than I wanted it to for like 5 seconds and I got a little terrified so I just stopped haha. Definitely something I wanna do again, though.
I can't friggen believe that it's already almost been 3 weeks. As much as I wanna go home theres a little part of me that doesn't want to leave, cause I feel guilty sometimes that I haven't been hanging out with Zus as much as I could, but thats cause I got homesick and wanted to talk to my friends. But still, home is getting more and more appealing every day.
And I think they're having a going away party for me tomorrow night, cause yesterday before the bike ride I came here to change, and there was like 5 full flats of beer in the front, probably what I wasn't supposed to see.
Anyways, I'm going to write a few post cards and send them, then put the keg of heineken in the fridge, and then shower! I MISS YOU KEIRA. <3
