four-eyed monsters
in twenty-four years, i've missed only one canada day in the capital, and i wasn't about to let this year become a second.
this year i was joined by skirt_girl_, and we met up with kasper420 and raygunthegreat for a romp downtown followed by barbecue fun at the newly engaged cue_dot and mbpowell's house.
a sea of red and white, sugar mountain, coffee high, missing feist, new friends, comparing cameras, creepy weiners, and couples, couples everywhere.
we were having so much fun at the barbecue we forgot to go watch feist, and had to dash just to make it to the fireworks on time. going against the crushing flow of pedestrian traffic, we linked hands and tore across the crowd in a fight to make it to the market, mercilessly clothes-lining innocent passerby.
ending up high on bank street, we finally found a bar with ten seats together, right next to three tv screens. observing my fascination with ultimate fighting with a fairly shrewd expression, valderie immediately asked, "slash?", which is certainly the quickest i've ever been outted by anyone ;)
geekiness ensued.
in the end i had a lot of fun, met a lot of new people, and, with the help of my new best friend keith, managed to stuff a summer's worth of crushes into twelve hours... at least in quantity, if not duration.
