Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

^ that was the first thing that popped into my mind, haha (this was to Sinead's first post)
The skulls thing was back in the 1980s. or 70s, i forget. ... basically, they found some human skulls buried in stanley park, and they think it's murder (the skulls were 2 childrens', i think. the crime case has never been resolved.
but yes!!!! YOU SHOULD GO TO THE VANCOUVER AQUARIUM (in stanley park)
vancouver:
1. jogging/walking around stanley park... if the weather is good, you will REALLY enjoy it.
2. vancouver aquarium
3. walking along West 4th and its uber-artsy expensive shops
4. the beaches (kitsilano beach, jericho beach)
5. 2nd/3rd beach in Stanley park
6. the museum of anthropology (in UBC) --> i haven't been there since grade four but it's a cool place.
7. shopping on the shops around West Broadway... plus they have some really good restaurants.
8. looking at the art galleries all along Granville st.
9. the Vancouver Art Gallery (i have no idea what exhibition will be up in april, though)
10. Emily Carr Institute and its galleries (ECI is an art school and you can go in the galleries for free most of the time. they exhibit students' works. and i might be wrong, but if you go in april, it's the end of the schoolyear, so there might be quite a bit of stuff to display; ECI is in Granville island, which is an awesome place to go)
11. Granville island - you can actually take a look at hat shops, bead shops, sculptures, markets, lots of handmade artsy thingies, and the kids market.
12. random shops on downtown - there are tons of crazy fun shops. vintage clothing shops, costume shops, used cd shops, poster shops, book shops, and a shitload of clothing stores, as well as big department stores and HMV and A&B Sound, etc.
victoria:
1. seaplane
2. shopping in quaint little shops
3. wax museum!!!
4. buchart gardens, if you have the time.
late april is the PERFECT time to go.
5. the museum with JOHN LENNON's CAR.
i have zero knowledge of kelowna, but i doubt there is much to do, compared to the above.
that's all i can think of at the moment.

I thought there was some theme park in Vancouver....though now that I think about it, I have no idea why I thought that.

Hahaha, okay. I was a little worried for my mental health for a second there.
I would say that I should go there in July... but trying to have fun with my family in those situations doesn't always work out.
They don't seem to get that theme parks are like 90% lines.

6. the Royal BC Museum
7. Chinatown (especially the smallest alley in the world or something)
8. the Miniature museum thing (can't remember what it was called, but it's built right into the side of the Empress Hotel), if you like cute little models of everything on the planet.
9. the little floating bathtubs boats in the Harbour (also can't remember what they're called, but you'll see them.)
edit: beware - the town is run by little old ladies in their 80s (well, maybe not, but it seems like it). you have to do anything and everything before 4:30pm - 5pm. the entire south island shuts down EARLY.
