So, my phone is finally reconnected!! Hurray! After months of arguing with Bell, having my calls transferred countless times from department to department, having been sent too many mixed messages...it's finally here! And I got my internet reconnected too, so no more sketchy stolen wireless! I'm so pleased. I feel like there is hope in my future.
Last night I went to a motherfucking MASKED BALL. It was wild. We made our masks using mask-templates purchased at a craft store, then glued feathers on them. Then we hit the ball (it was at McGill)! There were a lot of rich nerds there with pre-purchased masks and nerdy dancing skills. One was dancing with me and I was more than a little tipsy, and he kept trying to spin me and stuff and it fucking blew my mind. I hate when that happens, every guy on the planet is a better dancer than me. But I asked Jane if I looked goofy and she said I actually looked pretty graceful, so that made me feel better. My biggest fear is being asked to dance.
Then after that, we went to this guy Mike's house and his brother was there and we played Nintendo Wii. I got so fucking into that I ended up pulling all of the muscles in my right arm and shoulder. It literally hurts to move now. Talk about out of shape!!
Last weekend I came back to Ottawa and it was really great. The first night (Friday), I ended up going on what I thought was a group-hangout, but turned out of be a double date. We (Anna, John (her date), Simon (my "date") and I) went to the Elephant and Castle first for drinks, then to Walkley lanes for Cosmic Rock'n Bowl. When the fact that I'm very much not single came up in conversation, I tried to play it cool, but Simon didn't take it too well. He was definitely under the impression that he was on a date (he even gave us Godiva chocolates when we first met up). He ended up making a huge fuss about how he had wasted his night and could have gone clubbing instead, but how he "wasn't interested anyway." It was ridic.
Then the next day, I went to Pan's Labyrinth with Dylan. I liked it a lot, it was really good but a little too gory for my liking.
And on Sunday I went downhill skiing with Aaron! At VORLAGE! It was really fun, I can't wait to go skiing again. I definitely want to hit the slopes over reading week.
Now I am spending my night finishing binding my book of handmade paper. I'm totally not dressed yet, and I don't intend on getting dressed either! I abandoned any possible opportunities for fun this evening for that very reason. Bye!
