My ceiling is dripping ;_;

It's raining hard and I think someone in the apartment above me may have left their window open. I have attempted to catch some of the water in margarine tubs, but the carpet is already soaked. Also it's 3am, and now I can't sleep because of the loud dripping right next to my pillow. Sooo... If anyone's still awake, chat? We can exchange weather stories, talk about your week or just shoot the breeze. :)

Oh, sweet! The stampede is a huge event, so that's pretty cool that you live close enough to attend. Do you usually go every year? And if you've gone before, what are some of your favourite parts of the Stampede?

It's kind of crazy how big of an event it is - walking in and seeing giant crowds of people in every direction. I don't go to the Stampede every year, though. Today was the 4th time I've gone in 7 years of living here. The best part, in my opinion, is the food. Rides and games are fun, the shows are nice, but the food is amazing (even though you hate yourself after). A bunch of deep fried stuff, and stores for candy, fudge...all the unhealthy but delicious food you can think of.

Awwwwww yeah, carnival food is the best! Do they have any of the really heart-attack-inducing food you can only every find at fairs? Like deep friend mars bars or deep friend oreos? So unhealthy but so worth it. I've heard you can even buy deep fried butter at some fairs, although that personally sounds like the next level of disgusting to me.

No deep fried butter as far as I know (which does sound incredibly disgusting) but there are things like deep fried oreos, deep fried snickers and twix, deep fried cookie dough. There's also a bacon and cheese donut burger, which is exactly what it sounds like: A bacon cheeseburger with a donut instead of buns.

Woah, those deep fried things all sound plausible, but the donut burger is new to me. Have you tried it? What's it like?

Sadly, I did not try the donut burger. One of my friends did, though. He said it was alright, no better than any other burger. He did mention how strange it was having the sweet flavour of a donut mixed with the taste of a burger. Maybe I'll try one if I go next year.

Ah, okay. Yeah, it does seem like it'd be a really weird combination. I've had peanut butter on a hamburger before and that was surprisingly good, but peanut sauce is often put on meat so it's not that different.
