The Awkward Quietness

The eerie quietness of this small town which I am temporarily calling home is slowly becoming funny. Powell River is a beautiful town during the day but the sketchiest piece of land when it's dark. However I am proud to say Powell River knows how to party. Last night my roomates and I along with our manager's wife went out to the local hangout spot "The Westview" it was awesome! Live band, who might I add had some pretty hot band members, good cheap drinks, and fun wide age range people. We had a good time!
I am becoming accostumed to the familiar hellos and How's it going from strangers. It's weird how everyone knows each other, and how if one does not know where one's child is they don't panic. It's so funny, our manager's son did not show up for dinner time all his mother did was go outside in the front yard and yell his name a few times and then the phone rang. A neighbour called to say that her son was playing in the pool at their house. hahahaa.. my roomates and I were like man if that were in the city the police would've been called. There's no yelling a person's name and someone calling.. that's just funny!
I saw my first bus today... and someone knew who I was. The taxi's are old station wagons, the news of the town was the grand opening of Staples and the new dollar store! Things are funny and great! We walk everywhere, the rain doesn't bother us too much. The sun is freakin awesome when we get it.
Small town life however is just too slow for my taste. I'm so used to having so much to do, and well if it's not sunny here in Powell River there's nothing to do! Things close at 5pm everyday! only thing open are the pubs. We drink and be merry on rainy days.
I am at the hospital now...nightshift. I am sleepy.
okay i have nothing to say right now.. i feel like ice cream.
until next post.
