Ups & Downs
I'm going to try to make happier posts. I usually abuse my LJ as a place to complain and be cantankerous. Maybe I should quit it.
Anyway, the week's been good. I've been riding my bike a lot and, as silly as I feel posting about body issues as a 24 year old adult female with no real issues to complain of, I feel really happy about how I look lately and riding my bike has helped with that. I feel healthier and, I mean, what isn't adorable about a small person riding a bicycle with a pink helmet? Nothing! Yesterday, however, I threw my bag over my shoulders but the strap was too long, so the bottom of my bag kept hitting my back tire. "What the hell is that awful squeaking noise?" Said squeaking noise was my tire grinding a hole into the soft leather ): Ugh. Oh well, nobody can see it!
I baked a lot this weekend too. I don't usually bake unless I have someone to bake for, but this time it was just pity/emotional baking where I felt like keeping busy. However, my fruit & nut chocolate brownies were great, thaaankyou!
Danielle & I checked out the PNE fair and consumed the following food items:
a plate of wiggle chips
whale tail
kettle corn
foot long hot dog
enormous root beer
another plate of wiggle chips
and a sprite
I'm probably missing something else.. does that sound like $40 worth of carnival food to you?
I totally fell in love with the RCMP horses. They're so large! They make me nervous, but I also couldn't resist petting those velvety noses and one of them kept licking my little paw! I'm also officially too fucking old to go on rides.. after three of them, I was done.
Judy's birthday was this week too, so we consumed a lot of food at Guu. My favourite waiter from there remembers me! He said he remembers my piercing, and he apparently also remembered our special "dessert" that we like to order! It's a deep fried banana and two scoops of coconut ice cream, arranged in a phallic position. He gave me a hug and I squealed in delight.. super asian happy time!
Cary played a show at the Biltmore last night. Prairie Cat show, full band. It was really awesome, actually.. I have to hear him practice all the time at home, but he really cut loose on stage. I had to see all his friends again for the first time in a month (our last enormo fight), but they were all really warm still and I felt pretty relieved that it wasn't awkward. I called SO many people to go with me last night, and Danielle was the only one who could come through.. there was no way I was showing up on my own. I gave Dustin and Danielle rides home, after a drunken stop at Joey's for more drinks and food (no booze for me though!), and then went over to Cary's. He let me sleep in for the first time ever ever ever, because he usually gets a ride to work from me in the morning but today he took the bus. Fuck, I slept in a large bed all by myself until 12:30PM and it was great!
Tonight it is a Friday, and I am determined to make this weekend much better than the last. I'm seeing Bison and 3 Inches of Blood - really really stoked for Bison! Then tomorrow night PoOn & I shall be watching movies at Adrian's. Very happy that she's coming with me because I realized that spending an evening with an adorable boy by myself is probably not a good idea.
That being said, let the weekend commence. My mantra? No drama!
