thompson'd

so, i went to thompson this weekend. for a film festival. "the reel north film festival." it was basically really disorganized, but i had a lot of fun with friends. the strange thing was that we went to a mall in thompson (yes, thompson is actually pretty big... my friend marc stated that "thompson is the 3rd largest city in manitoba. however its population is steadily declining"... oh marc) and as we were walking around looking for random things, we felt everyone's eyes peering at us. it was as if we had huge stickers on our foreheads saying "OUTSIDER". very odd, i tell you. i've never felt so judged in my life. none of us did anything wrong, all we were doing was walking around the mall. but everywhere we went in thompson, we were glared at. maybe they were threatened by us because we are big-shot filmmakers... haha, rrrrrriiiiiiiiiight... well, all in all it was a lot of fun. scary driving home because for the first couple of hours outside thompson, it was pure sheets of ice. horrible. but alas, the weekend is over and i must get back to normal life. but we all had to admit that we appreciate winnipeg more now than before. i would be ok with not going back to thompson... unless my friends are going again. good fun time though, very very fun.
