One of the (many) lessons we can take away from Rookie Blue is that "normal" doesn't always work (if only Sam and Andy had realized that sooner. lol). I've embraced this philosophy and I'm pleased to say I had a fantastically abnormal & extraordinary "Rookie Blue" themed day!
This morning I met @sillygyrl8 (the BEST RB tour guide any fan could hope for!!), @vixenali81 and svugirl, and we explored Toronto. @sillygyrl showed us some awesome past RB locations (I'll share pictures later). Highlights of this adventure include "JD's apartment", "Supernova" and of course "15 Division" (TBH there were a bunch more I'm entirely too exhausted to remember). While at "15 Division" (it's actually 51 Division), in the interest of not backing down on the dare svugirl presented me, I reenacted Andy running to work in 1x01 (it's possible there is video of this, but I've yet to decide if I want to share that level of dorky with the world...)
In the afternoon we found them filming 4x02 in downtown Toronto. We chatted with Matt briefly and met Missy. We hung out in the area until it got dark (and I was freezing) then we went to pick up @tatum197903 from the airport!
And what kind of RB fans would we be if we didn't greet her with a "dummy" sign!? (We definitely got some strange looks from people, but it was worth it!)

We left in search of a very late dinner and ended up at McDonald's, where I'm sure we confused even more people with our animated conversations.
And then it was off to drop most of the #RBfam gang at their hotel. But the 5 of us got sucked into the RB world and ended up hanging out for over an hour; chatting, catching up with the twittersphere and reading fanfic.
Bottom line, normal is boring. On the other hand... spending a day with incredible people who understand my version of crazy, ending it with an impromptu RBparty in the hotel room, and feeling right at home.... that's pretty damn spectacular & I'd take that over normal any day!
I'm off to bed now. Tomorrow is my last day here and hopefully the Rookie Blue Family Fanbook will finally reach it's destination. It's been a long time coming and I'm excited to see the first half of the project through to the end! Also very much looking forward to hanging out with the #RBfam gang again!
Until next time!
