Ohhh we used to have something called CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) every year in Toronto at the Exhibition Place. There will be rides and games and music and shows and horse performances (because the Medieval Times restaurant is there as well) and the exhibition halls would showcase agriculture, food, arts and crafts, government and trade displays. Also, during CNE, the Canadian International Air Show would also perform. The entire area where CNE is hosted is considered a National Historic Site.

It was like a BIG deal but ever since COVID, it hasn't been brought back and, sadly enough, in recent years, the CNE hasn't gotten as much people as in previous years. It's practically a family tradition to go for most Canadians. When I was younger, we'd go at least once a year, during the few weeks that its opened (normally during the last few weeks of August, right before Labour Day and September, before school starts). It's also known as Canada's largest annual fair.

142 years of tradition.....and now there's risk of it closing forever. D: there's a petition to "Save the CNE" so that it comes back next year.

A lot of stuff has been cancelled because of covid lol.

Yeah I know. now that people are older, the younger generation only care about stuff like their phones and stuff. they're rather stay indoors than go outside and take part in a historical fair that's been around for over 100 years. also, it might be true that the current generation these days aren't as into procreating for the purpose of continuing the family line, people don't really want to reproduce these days. xD;; so with less children, less people want to go to fairs with lots of chaos.

I hope so.

I just got my second dose of the vaccine today. And I was also developing a headache before going in. UGH.

yeah i dunno if i want kids myself. it seems mighty PAINFUL. that's the only thing i'm concerned about lol. i don't like pain.

LOL whenever I see a historical building with one of those placard historical detail stands, I have to wander over and read it while everyone else in my fam are like "who cares, let's go to the next stop" lol.

well my headache is gone, i wasn't expecting it to stay, thank god. the shot though......my arm feels bruised and numb and i can't raise it past a certain height lol. my sister is apparently feeling sore too lol.

yeah. so much WORK ugh.

yeaaaah when i stop by the side of the road just to read a historical placard, everyone has to stop with me lol. that or they just keep walking ahead and leave me alone til they realize that i'm not with them lol.

Yeah the first one was......well I still felt bruised and stuff but the reaction for the this second dose feels.......so much worse lol. Like I feel like my entire body has aches and pains......and I have no idea if its my normal aches and pains or if its vaccine aches and pains lol.

ROFLMAO.

my cousin in america likes gravestones. and cemeteries. and generally likes to wear black with black lips and black nailpolish and stuff. she's only like......a year younger than me I think and she's still a goth. XD some people grow out of the goth phase. she didn't lol.
oh and did i mention that she's also a taxidermist? XDDDDD she's around dead bodies all the timeeee. XD
