and the beat goes on...and the beat goes on.
spent the day in multiple box stores with grandmom. so that's kind of like not being in a box store at all. In fact it's kind of like being at cedar point with shorter line ups. dig it.
my old time friends. people think it's funny when I refer to the kids out east thus. like they're something from the past. (well duh) but it's just like home. like comfort. like old time. like things that endure.
my friend catherine is the bomb. she makes me feel like home. and it only took three years for my buddy kris to marry her and me to meet her. score.
the only other person who felt like home since i left ontario was azaria. and she's rockin' out with the best of them in that great big bandstand in the sky these days.
it's nice to feel home where it hasn't ever been before.
so get this: looking for a new place. call a company that owns 11 buildings right downtown, character suites lots to choose from. allow cats. call them up. we have a nice little conversation about the different suites available and than buddy asks if we smoke. I'm an honest gal so that just goes to show. well. they're non-smoking. yes I know. that's one of the reasons why I chose to call them. we never smoke in our apartment. oh yeah?, not even when it's minus forty? we NEVER smoke in our apartment. well I think we'll hold out for non-smokers. okay but I just finished telling you that we don't smoke inside. I've lived in non-smoking houses for the last five years. by choice. when I go on trips and I have to stay at a hotel, I ask for a non smoking room. I was really glad when the bars went non-smoking. no problem. yes, um, well, yes but than there will be cigarette butts outside the apartment building...you know a um butt can...yeah, i think we'll hold out for non-smokers.
riiight.
i know none of you non smokers will have any sympathy for this but the fact of the matter is i'm an extremely consciensious smoker and I feel unfairly discriminated against. why in the hell would I want to smoke in my apartment when the bulk of my friends are non-smokers? why would I want to smoke in my apartment and have to pay to get everything cleaned and wash down the walls and...it's gross.
smoking is gross. doesn't he know that? sheesh. I was perturbed to say the least for some time after that. it pretty much threw off the rest of my day.
but today is a different day. spent in multiple box stores with grandmom. and she's just fun.
