Answers to first batch of Birthday Suggestions
I'm not certain, and I'm not usual a conspiracy theorist...but it strikes me as odd that both Sarah AND Kim have suggested birthday events that require me to be high in the sky. Are they under the belief that they are in the will??
See the thing with hot-air ballooning is that is sounds vaguely romantic, but I promise you there'd be little romance in me huddled on the floor of the basket, curled up under my knees praying to the baby Jesus.
Same with sky-diving...sounds really cool IN THEORY...in practice it would be a few minutes of screaming followed by lots of crying like a 7 year old who lost his favorite Chewbacca action figure and is pretty damn sure his 4 year old brother took it and traded it for gum.
Well that's assuming the shoot opened, otherwise there'd be more minutes of screaming ended by a presumably sickening thud.
So any event must EXCLUDE an IMPLICIT risk of death- this serves as Rule #1
I'll have more rules in the coming days as I think of them.

Okay, what's your spending limit?

ah, thanks for the good chuckle. I guess my mind is in the clouds right now. but no clouds for you.
how about a good ol' trip to the theatre? or a family/friend party at the bowling alley? pizza and beer?
I have no clue. just pulling stuff out of my derriere.
If your birthday is the weekend of November 4th, you need to bring that cute pumpkin belly to Traverse City, MI, where we will watch Angry Monkeys dressed like pirates race a mountain bike race, and then I'll ditch you later on for family, Zilla and Jeff Daniels.
Sound fun?
Come on. Traverse City is practically Canada.
So, you have a younger brother?
I lost my brother's Boba Fett.
Kim-I think that DEFINITELY goes way beyond the limit...but bonus points for kickass factor!
Sarah-These are more doable...she says she's got 'the event' and 'the thing' already decided now I've just got to choose which...but its a blind selection...which I call 'no fair-sies'
Ange-my birthday is Nov 3rd, and while bringing the family to meet you IS the most exciting prospect so far offered, angry monkeys dressed like pireates racing moutain bikes...well who couldn't see that in their own living room after two bottles of Jose Cuervo...plus getting ditched for family and Zilla I can understand...but Jeff Daniels?
oh and yes I do have a younger brother...and a younger sister.
he always stole toys, then he grew up and became a cop for a while...which made me lose sleep for years...now he works in the mortgage industry
humm.....birthdays. I've got nothing. I always ask for money to be donated to charity in my name and everyone looks at me like I'm a psycho. I haven't figured it out yet. Then they usually just give me gift cirtificates to chapters or whatever....so yeah, I'm apparently really bad at that birthday thing.
I will keep an eye out for something cool though. We are afterall living in the GTA. There's gotta be something fun and interesting.
On another note, since school's kinda slow for you right now (yeah, I know, what is slow supposed to me mean in october??) I was wondering if you were interested in looking over my little 5 page essay that's due on monday...because apparently I suck at the analysis thing...and I probably need all the help i can get. The next few weeks following this one aren't too bad for me so I'll reciprocate as long as it's not 20 minutes before they're due:P
SKYDIVING?
Why in hell's name would anyone want to jump out of a plane that's WORKING? I mean I get the whole ok, if I don't jump out of the plane I'll die when it crashes bit - but geez when it's working?
And balloon rides. Gah. I don't even like the top of the freaking ferris wheel. How the hell do you steer those things?
You sir need to be taken out for fabulous food, quality alcohol, and some fine Cuban cigars (since you can have those in Canada after all). If I was there to babysit I'd be kicking your asses out the door :P
