Laughing
Nothig beats it. Whether laughing yourself, or making someone else laugh, laughter is key. I laughed a lot today, and made others laugh, and all in all I can say that I am content.
A little bit of slacking with the updating, so here's yesterday...
Wednesday. School 10:50 - 3:30. School goes well, I get out of my last class a little early and proceed to CAPS the school pub, where Tony Lee, a hypnotist is performing. I have no one to go with, but decide that I would like to see hsi show regardless, as I have missed it on several ocassions. Once inside I see a guy from highschool so I sit with him and his gf and brother, just so I dont feel as akward. The show begins, Tony lee is crude but funny, which works since everyone is at least 19 anyway. Whilst hypnotising the poor chaps on stage, he makes his way to the bar and orders 8 shots of tequila. Somehow one ends up being placed in front of everyone at the table I'm sitting at. Tequila is particularly disgusting minus the salt and lime. Ew. The show is going well and is quite amusing. Tony lee has his participants driving ferrarri's flipping of 'pigs', trying to pick up attractive strangers with their best cheesy pick up line proudly declared into the microphone, followed by several more crude things performed on stage. At some point I see hasheem whom I know, and who used to work at caps. I take in some of the show at his side, score a free beer, and am happily watching the show when something horrible happens...
Tony lee asks for another volunteer. Hasheem grabs my arm and raises it. I am instructed to make my way onto the stage. Horror of all horrors, I find myself blinking into a bright light, being stared at by a hundred or so humber studets as Tony lee asks if I'm s single. 'Yes' I reply. He follows up that question with " are you looking?" to which I reply " I thought you were a hypnotist, not a matchmaker!"
I take my seat in the middle of the stage, fully anticipateing something embarassing. Tony Lee does not dissapoint. The 6 males on the stage, fully hynotized are informed that it is my birthday ( which it is NOT) and that they are my strippers and must do their thing for me. Great, a bunch of guys I don't know are stripping down to their boxers and dancing around me, kinda on me, and the audience, including hasheem, is loving it. Holding my half full beer all the while ( and trying to avoid it getting spilt as strangers bump into, while bumping and grinding) I can do nothing but laugh. Laugh Laugh Laugh. Finally it ends, I exit stage right, and head straight for hasheem. I tell him thank you, for a college experience I'll never forget.
A few hours later, after a trip home to eat, shower and change, I make my way back to Humber for the Bedouin soundclash concert. I go early as I hadn't bought tickets yet. I kill some time talking to nursing students I used to know, and the guy behind the Break away vacation tour desk until hasheem shows up. We grab some seats,and watch the opener, and then it starts to rain. Penny shows up. Rain stops. There is a short interlude. Myself and penny make our way to her other friends. While standing around I realze im hungry, and I see poeple with plates. Penny and I head over to a table with the forementioned plates, and there is some sort of white cube on eatch plate. I say " I'm hungry, whats that?" To which penny repies " That's lard katie, you dont want to eat that". Well shoot, damn right I dont! EWW. Theres a competition between 8 people, whoever eats their 1/4 pound of lard first wins a trip to montreal. Some girl wins. Penny makes a mean joke. I laugh and agree. I'm a horrible person. Still, nothing beats laughing.
Penny and I leave the concert as the band is playing their last song We are forced to walk completely around the camput, since the college itself was now locked and we could not walk through it. How inconvneient. We spend the next 10 minutes or so walking arm in arm to my car. I take penny back to rez and start to head home.
I make a detour that leaves me with a kiss in a fist, a tear on my cheek, and a laugh or two as well. Finally sleep comes to me, far too late at night, just as the night before, and just as tonight. I am glad though, that I can recall three moments where I either laughed, smiled, or felt happpy to be alive. It was a good day. Tomorrow, I shall write about today.
