Okay, I’ll tell you. Even I’m not quite sure where I am. Apparently we’re at some small town called Collingwood at a place called Scenic Caves. I’m hiding in the shade under some trees and typing away on my laptop. Contemplating whether it’s safer for me to stay and risk loosing my mind or to hitchhike back to Toronto with strangers.
So why am I here? I got tricked into coming on a little Thanksgiving sight seeing trip with my mom and her friends. All she told me was “We’re going maple viewing!” I thought we’re probably going to go hiking in some woods and I wouldn’t mind the exercise but nooo, we’re driving all over the place, visiting place with only 1 Tim Hortons in town. I miss civilization…
So our first stop was Barrie, a beautiful city that reminds me of London. We stopped at the beach and walked around the lake. The weather was great and the view was lovely. We even visited a charming little bakery where I bought a marzipan apple. It’s sooo cute~ <3 I can’t bring myself to eat it.
Then we left Barrie. We drove for hours without stopping. It was 2PM when we finally stopped for lunch. It took us half an hour to decide where we’re going to eat. Pizza Hut. We traveled all the way out here for PIZZA HUT?! I’m sorry but, there’s a Pizza Hut just a few minutes walk from my house in Toronto. I might as well have stayed home. So we went in. The place was pretty deserted. Out server needs a new set of teeth, some shampoo, and a stylist. He also had a hick accent. I think this is when I started to loose my patience. How the heck did I get tricked into this trip? I can be doing something useful right now like, I don’t know, work on the giant pile of homework that I have to finish by Tuesday, call my partner so we won’t fail out English presentation on Tuesday, or finishing up the online training for Rogers that I haven’t even started since my aunt kicked me off the internet on Thursday.
We finally found Scenic Caves after getting lost a few times only to find out that it’s closing in an hour and the admission fee’s an unreasonable $45 per person. So guess what? My mom and her lovely friends decided to waltz in while no one was watching. Yeah. So I’m sitting here, afraid that I’m going to be caught and thrown out at any second while they’re off enjoying the scenery.
I want to die. I mean, I’m stuck at a place with GIANT SALMONS SWIMMING IN THE POND AND I CAN SMELL THEM AND THERE’S NO ITERNET CONNECTION AND I’M EXHAUSTED FROM BEING IN A CAR ALL DAY AND I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT TO GO HOME. [/whine] God, I need a hug… emo
So, what a wonderful Thanksgiving I’m having. No yummy pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, marshmallow yams, or cranberry sauce. Just… Pizza and stinky salmon and a road kill skunk we passed on the highway. Why me…? =___=;;
And here’s where I insert a giant I TOLD YOU SO since we just got caught asked to leave. I think I’ve never been this embarrassed in my life. I hate this place. I hate this trip. I want to go home. I wish I never came to Toronto this weekend. If I don’t have my laptop with me right now, I would’ve thrown myself off the nearest cliff or into the nearest body of water that large/deep enough to drown me. If that doesn’t work, I’ll catch pneumonia and die. It’s slowly killing me to smile and nod and pretend I’m having a good time. Now they’re complaining about how unfair it is for them to be charging us to enjoy trees… And grass… And trees… Some more trees… And that’s it. I have a huge headache from listening to very broken English all day. I’m NEVER going to trust my mom EVER AGAIN. No more stupid trip with grownups who doesn’t understand enough English to communicate efficiently and don’t care to obey rules.
I’m done. I’m going to go place Solitaire until I pass out from boredom. Have a lovely Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you have a much more enjoyable one than I am.
