August

19th Yay no more evening shifts! Friday after work at ten I took a walk down to the Alibi to meet up with Joey, Merina, Noel and a few others for an Intoxicado & Sidewalks show. I was feeling pretty lazy so I mostly just sat around and listened to the bands play. We hung around at my place for a bit afterwards and then I drove Joey and Merina back to Summerside around three in the morning.

Saturday afternoon everyone met up at Shining Waters in Cavendish for some water-slide fun. It was really nice out so the place was pretty busy but we went on all the slides a few times and then checked out everything else in the park. (Petting zoo, pedal boats, scary cave thing.) On the way out Joey, Merina, Sarah and I found this crazy house hidden away on the side that had the most amazing thing inside. I don't wanna ruin it but if you go to Shining Waters make sure you find that house!

After the water-park we went to the Cavendish boardwalk for supper and then explored for a bit. Andrew and Alison were camping at Sunset so Joey, Merina, Noel and I went to their site for a little bonfire for a bit before going home.

Sunday morning everyone met up at my place in Charlottetown to go to Basin Head! (That place is almost overtaking Thunder Cove as my favorite beach.) It took much longer to get out there than I remember but it was well worth it in the end. I spent pretty much the whole afternoon jumping off the pier and bridge they have set up. By the end I was able to dive off the top of the bridge, which everyone advised against, cause the water isn't so deep, but it turned out to be pretty easy. While there I met up with a few people I know like Andrew (the owner of the company I work for) and Zhu and her friends. Strange to see familiar people at a beach that is so far out of the way.

Today after lunch I bought some new strings for the acoustic guitar in my room. (Joey broke one over the weekend.) After I got home from work I tried putting em on with only YouTube to assist me. It really wasn't so bad and aside from one string they look pretty clean. The previous strings were pretty ancient so the guitar sounds much brighter now, which is actually gonna take some getting used to.

Only one weekend left of Summer before I head to Winnipeg. I hope the nice weather keeps up a bit longer. (Although it has been pretty brutally warm these last couple of days.)
