guy fawkes?

so please could someone tell me who guy fawkes is. I'm canadian, the name means nothing to me, indeed the date means nothing to me .. except it's my one week birthday of course. dad tells me I'm too young for him to share the story of guy fawkes, and refuses to tell me what grandpa used to do with this guy called fawkes each year.

anyhow .. what a day. phoned great granny and great grandad, cried and hiccup'd on cue .. you gotta love me :) sent an email to a friend timothy greenaway, he's pretty young (3 days), so his dad had to help him with the email. invited him to play street hockey with me in 2016 .. should be fun. dad mentioned to mom that I should attend conductor courses one day, learn the whole music thing. so I thought I'd show them how good I already am, by conducting a great portion of Prokoviev's Romeo and Juliet. it's on video ready for me to be embarrassed at my 16 birthday party :( mom and dad laughed ... lots ... I was a bit sleepy.

had a visit from the community health nurse .. I have so many friends it's amazing.

another trip out .. this time to safeway with mom. dad stayed at home and missed me (confirming the sop in sopwith .. pathetic). gerhard came round to visit too, and enjoyed a chocolate cigar with dad (courtesy of the lovely anne and dennis). had a nice chat with uncle greg from upstairs. the excitement of a full day just keeps coming! mom and dad enjoyed nice dinner together AGAIN. I shall have to put a stop to this soon before they become angelic model parents!
