my minds playing tricks on me

so yesterday i arrived in deep river for the second time this year(was previously up to celebrate my aunts 50th). the heddens picked me up from my town, ottawa. and my cousins friend, michelle, departed to edmonton after spending a week up here. after leaving the airport, we headed back to deep river-a two hour trek...stopping off in arnprior for some good old macdonalds(cheeseburger, 6-piece chicken nuggets, fries and a coke). when i arrived at the hedden's cottage i explored the newly renovated garage; now called the bunky or the "second cottage". and we were soon entertaining our lovely twin cousins aidin and breena...or the other way around. we asked(alanna and i) for some quiet time; aidin somewhat cooperated by turning on his DS while breena told us people were boring and played with the garbage cans. after our "not-so-quiet" time in the new bunky, we decided to catch up on our weekly shows. a heartbreaker SYTYCD and a bikini-model-gets-evicted-8-votes-to-1 big brother 11.
then came the idea of going down to pine-point for a midnight swim. with a flashlight in hand, we slowly walked along the wet sand filled with all the night-crawlers, shining the flashing on pretty much anything we "thought we saw" move. after making it all the way to the point we discovered an object that appeared to be a person coloured orange and green that alanna swore wasn't there the day before. so shining the light on it to see if it was moving, we let our imaginations get to us and headed back. but after debating about going back to the point or not, we decided to try again. the "person" was still there. and with all of our courage and bravery, alanna and i approached the "object" and found out it was a garbage can. figures eh? so instead of taking the plunge into the cold ottawa river, we decided to just lie on the sand and talk staring up at the cloudy sky covering the lovely stars.
