Because I promised pictures...
Here are pictures of how I dressed yesterday. Please forgive the mess, it was when I came back from a long, long day.
After my job, we were supposed to go see the new PotC movie with Shima, Shigeki and other friends. Saru, a new guy on the forum who just came from France for a year on a work visa met me at L2 as we were supposed then. I was happily surprised, he was much friendlier than I had anticipated and he looks really cute, too!
Some of my friends from the south shore that I hadn't seen in quite a long while were there and we had a long chat with them. One of them had to move to a new town because his house was near the Richelieu river and it's still flooded because of the whole Lake Champlain spring flood thing. So he moved to St-Jean and he's near the military college and he says it's kind of annoying because he hears the choppers fly by all the time.
When they left, we called Shima to know about their plans and Shima said to go to his place and we'd all leave from there. So we went and took the bus to go to Shima's place. We met middle-aged guy named Serge who was from the same region that Saru/Romain is from and we chit-chatted until his top. It was funny because he had a mixed Québecois and Southern French accent! When we got to Shima's place, the landlord answered the door; they had left about 20 minutes before we got there. I got a voice message on my phone from Shima saying they were already at the cinema and to call him if I needed directions. Only, when I managed to reach him, they were already in the theater watching the movie! Grrr... So Romain and I tried to go back to the Quartier Latin cinema instead, but their last showing was at 10PM and it was already nearly 11. So we tried going to the Starcité and the ticketbooth had been closed for a couple minutes and the doors were locked. No luck! ?
Well, Romain stumbled upon a Twoonie (2$ coin) on the ground as we headed for the Starcité's door. He managed to snap a couple night views of the Olympic Stadium that's just beside the cinema to send his folks back home. He says they've been pestering him for pictures all week! Then we wanted to go grab some McD's, because he used to work for them in France and it was on our way to his youth hostel, but it was all full, as usual on a Friday night, so we wound up at Double Pizza having poutine (not so yummy because the cheese curd had more of a cottage cheese texture, I wanted Squeek-squeek-cheese!) and I found a loonie (1$ coin) on the bench as I got up to leave. We had lots of fun, but his eyes were starting to go awry because of his lenses and our brains were starting to not quite follow the conversation so we decided to call it a day and go to bed. He went to his hostel and I went back to Berri station, then took the subway to Longueuil and then the last bus home. PotC will have to wait! Maybe I should ask Carl if he wants to see it at the cine park...
Outfit of the day:
OP by Angelic Pretty, courtesy of my friend Maki miracleshopping who finally got around to shipping it to me last week, after the whole tsunami/flood/moving around ordeal. Thanks, Maki! :)
Petticoat by h.Naoto Frill
Bloomers (not seen on pictures) and knee-high socks by Bodyline
Headdress: random bridal decoration found at DollarMax
Chocker by Moi-Même-Moitié, it used to have a pretty little rose above the cross, but I kinda broke it trying to wash the sweat of the ribbon one day. I'm still trying to find a new rose the same size to repair it!
Coat by Algonquins, pre-loved by my friend lauran. I'll take better pictures next time, I promise! And not at 2:30am when I just got back from work and just transiting around Montréal all day.
