Zombieblog: Vancouver Adventure: Day 7

Here it is, the last instalment of my Vancouver trip that happened 3 weeks ago.

First of all, when I woke up that morning, I couldn't really open my right eye. I noticed the night before it was feeling a little sore, and I kept poking it (if you think that is ever a good idea; news flash! It's not.). So I woke up with a swollen eyelid! Marvellous! But the swelling went down throughout the day, and by the time I got home I think it was pretty much gone. But, what a weird way to start the day! Still have no idea what the culprit was.

We didn't have much time to do much this day, since I had to be at the airport by 6:00pm, so we just went out for breakfast at a random sushi and breakfast/lunch diner. It was amazing! But it also just so happened to be May the 4th: unofficial Star Wars Day! (Get it? May the 4th be with you? I hope you do, or we can't be friends) And to celebrate this wonderful day of the year, Erin and I whipped open her Star Wars cookbook and made some Yoda Soda. It was delicious, but also possibly the most sugary beverage I have ever had. Then we just chilled out, played games before my departure.

It was sad. Having to say goodbye to Gambit, Erin's wonderful new cat, and to her humble abode that I have grown so fond of. And her boyfriend Kyle, who is really strange, but that's why he fits in with us so well. And of course, Erin, the greatest friend anyone could ever ask for. It was really hard, but I didn't want to admit it. I wanted to believe that I would be ok, and that going home was a good thing. I quickly came to realize that wasn't true, when I had to say goodbye for now at the airport. It has been a long time since I have had an overwhelming wave of emotions like that. I felt so empty, like I was leaving something behind. I didn't feel like that when I was leaving home..not at all. So, once I got home and had a good cry, I thought long and hard about it, and I really want to move there. I don't care what anyone says, or what they think about Vancouver. I don't want to move there because it's cool (and it is cool), I want to be there because it felt right. I have never felt so at home before, and especially with people that I love so much, makes it that much more like home. So...it won't happen for awhile, but it will happen. Someday.

And that concludes my week-long Vancouver Adventure. Feels good to finally have it all down so I never forget it.

Ps: Miss you guys! This seriously was one of the best weeks ever!
