I leave for university in two days. (Packing tips???)
My grandpa just called because he "wanted to talk to [me] before [I] go away". He said, "I have a new name for you - whee." I asked him what he meant and he told me: "The first day - the first time you rode a chairlift at Blue Mountain, I lifted you onto the chair, and the chair started moving, and you said 'whee!' because you'd never been on a chairlift before." I actually knew that already - I can still remember the moment when it felt like we were flying - but I was really touched by his call, especially since the grandparents never call us (it's where my brother and I get the 'shoty not getting the phone!' gene). I think he's really going to miss me. I'll miss him too.
(It feels so weird: I've said goodbye to Oma and G+G, but I still keep thinking that I'm going to see them on the weekend, like I always do. Two days left and it still hasn't sunken in.)
I did, however, finally take both Oma and G+G out for meals. Oma I took for lunch a while ago to the Avenue Cafe and Bistro near my work, and G+G (and my immediate family) I took to Lily's Japanese restaurant. We had lots of sushi - the inari sushi there is absolutely orgasmic - and *singsong voice* I footed the bill!
I figure a nice dinner is the least I can do in return for eighteen years of being spoiled rotten. Anyway, off to do more productive things than read porn for the evening (UNDER DURESS OK).
(Ai-j'oublie de dire que j'ai un ordinateur? Je l'aime.)
