MY LIFE IS LIKE A MOVIE...
I'm sorry that I don't have the ability to post pictures on here...seeing as though my stupid computer won't connect to the internet...but I just HAD to post about my day yesterday. I honestly should have a reality TV show. This is why:
- ADVENTURE #1: WOLFE ISLAND -
My friend Ben and I decide to catch up by going some place "unexplored". Wolfe Island is only a short ferry ride away from Kingston, and apparently a popular tourist attraction. Sounds good. So we walk about 25 minutes in the freezing cold (me not having mittens, after the previous night's escapades of being kidnapped by rugby players and manhandled almost to the door of a dirty strip club. I escaped, don't worry) to the ferry. When we finally get off the sketchy boat, we realize we're in the middle of nowhere. I'm talking cows, dirt roads and no civilization in sight. We're tough, so we start walking, reasoning that we'll find somewhere to sit and get a coffee soon. 15 minutes later, a sign says: "Marysville: 3 km". No turning back. We walk it. I've never been so cold. But it was probably one of the funniest adventures ever. After reaching a tiny town and eating, we got a ride back to the ferry from a nice girl at the restaurant. She tells us that in the summer, there is a ferry that goes straight into the town. It closes in the winter, obviously. GOOD TO KNOW. HAHA. Then we walked back accross Kingston (another 25 minutes) and the adventure is over. Funny? FREEZING? Yes.
- ADENTURE #2: STAGES'-
This isn't that funny, but Sarah and I tried to trick the coatcheck girls by putting her jacket inside of mine. They caught us and charged us $4. Then we only ended up staying 20 minutes. Lame. But to avoid the line when we were leaving, Sarah ran to the front and told the coatcheck girl that I was puking and we needed to go fast. Haha awesome.
- ADVENTURE #3: ELIXIR (ATTEMPT #1)-
After getting pizza and finding a sweet 3 minute short-cut from my house to my favorite club, Elixir, we skip the line because we're smart and got stamped early. We're waiting in line for coatcheck again, when Sarah looks at my chest and bursts out laughing. I know they're small, but I've never had anyone laugh out loud before. But no, it's worse. Underneath my light green Aritzia shirt, my white strapless bra is GLOWING under the black light!! How embarasing! How more embarassing when we run out, and on the way, Sarah tells a bunch of guys and the bouncer WHY we're leaving. Awesome.
-ADVENTURE #4: RETURN TO ELIXIR-
*Incident A*
Skipping the line again, and in a better shirt, we re-enter. Sarah has a friend who is kind of old, and his boss (who is even older) decides to ask me to sit on a perch with him. I decline...but am forced by a mob of guys in cowboy hats. As I'm trying to be polite to this old drunk dude, he eventually whispers to me "Do you like cuddling? Do you want to come cuddle with me tonight?" You all know how I would squirm at this, so I tell him that I have to go to church in the morning. How's that for a turn-off. Haha, I think it worked. Awkward.
*Incident B*
I'll spare you the long pretext to this (because this is 10 times too long already), but when I was in Kingston for Homecoming (in October), my friends and I met a group of jokers. No significant connections, or so I thought. There was a guy that I did remember, however...So, back to last night. Blah blah dance blah...i'm walking, all of a sudden, the crowd parts. I see him. "Lydia!" Sparks. (haha I'm so dramatic.) But seriously, who remembers names like that? 4 months later? I thought only I did that. So we talked, danced, joked around...it was awesome. haha. AND he's going to really hook me up with a job at the Gap (down the street!). How cool is that? I realize this story is not best described on the internet, so I'll tell it in my best dramatic monologue next time YOU CALL ME! ALL OF YOU!!
THAT DRAGGED ON WAY TOO MUCH. I'M SORRY. BUT REALLY, GIVE ME A REALITY TV SHOW, SOMEONE.
