Calgary Rocks when your with Non- Calgarians
OMG you have not partied until you have partied with some Nova Scotians and girls from ThunderBay…… one day I was in a room with a bunch of CSIs (clinical systems instructors)… and this one lady (born and raised here in Calgary).. started to rant and rave about how evil people from Ontario are and how stupid everyone from the East coast was…
As I looked around the room I quickly realized.. she was outnumbered… in fact… everyone else in the room was from either Thunderbay or Nova Scotia .. and so we totally teamed up on her… and we have formed a new “East Coast Posse”…
That evening my new group decided to go bar hopping in Kenningston.. which is a trendy area in this red neck hick town and has some real cool pubs..
WOW..we had a blast… they are soo very friendly… the complete salt of the earth people who truly fit the east Coast Stereotypes of always smiling and being so real … we went from one pub to another.. and drinking and laughing and meeting people.. there was a group of 8 of us and we were soo loud and would go to people and introduce ourselves… if the people we were talking to were from out of the town.. it was guaranteed they were friendly.. it seemed anyone who was a local Calgarian was very cold and mean. They just ignored us… but it didn’t matter... as we had a blast anyways..
Im so happy to have met cool people.. it sure beats dealing with Tim and his unfriendly group.
Its been sooooooooooo COLD here in Alberta… I couldn’t believe on Sept 15th we had 5cm of snow.. nothing stayed on the ground but still .. a snow storm in Sept ?!?!….it just made the pub crawl more fun… nothing like partying it up in shorts and a t shirt in minus 5C weather with heaps of snow… gotta love being in the artic..
Even the physicians have been inviting me out every Monday evening to go watch football at a local Irish pub down the street. And my new roommates and I have been going out too…
Its actually kinda funny.. my one roommate actually went and hooked up with my old roommate Tim… and on Tim’s blog he posted this about my new roomie Ron:
He was totally hot and totally dumb. Like I've always said you can either be pretty or smart, he chose pretty.
The irony of this statement is soo funny.. if you actually met these two… my new roomie is a college professor with tons of ambition and life and very friendly where as Tim is 30, ex-drug addict, high school drop out who just sits in front of the tv and veg all day.
I am so excited too… my friend Tom and Neil from Burlington are coming to visit… Tom is coming for a conference so that weekend I am taking them out to the bars and then up to Banff weather permitting..
And the following day Im joining a group of hikers for a very difficult climb/hike up Sentinel Pass.. It’s a full day hike… and I will take heaps of pics I promise.
