What a week!
Um.
I hate these entries.
Where do I start?
Did I update about the airport? I got my bag back but had to go through canada day traffic to get there and back. 4 hour trip!
Work was horrible for a little while but then we got a new guy (Steve) who I only *thought* was gay until today. Well- he only started there last Saturday so I haven't had much time to judge but he said he was living on English bay with his male roommate in a one bedroom apartment. Now I don't know if his male roommate is his love or not - in fact, i doubt it - but it did instill ideas in my head. And today he said he got drunk a lot. And I asked him if he had gone to any clubs. And he said he went to a few... 'Where?' Uh... mostly on Davie st. 'Ah.' I win? I'll just assume I win. For now.
I want bruschetta. Danielle came over yesterday and we made (i made) really good bruschetta. Like- best ever? Maybe it was just so long since I had it last.
Tomato
Green onion (or purple but I like green)
Parsley (instead of basil- yuck)
Feta Cheese
Mix in balsamic and olive oil and let sit.
Toast french bread under a broiler.
Add topping and then put some soft melty cheese (mmm gouda) on top
Delicious!
My feet smell.
I need to remember to eat all my groceries.
Yesterday I went biking with Amber. Holy fuck she's a slow biker, man. Good girl with great intentions I'm sure but I don't think we get along well as friends. She'd met me at my house as I was still hanging laundry. I've cleaned so much in the past couple of days. There were fruit flies everywhere. Now there aren't.
Today I bought a couple of boxes (erm, accessories?) that usually cost $129. Wow- wtf? $12? Ok. Sometimes our items are stupidly expensive. And then... sometimes they're stupidly cheap.

I don't wanna like dance music. But I do.
I really like La Roux right now. Thanks again, Piffin. I didn't like them the first time I heard them but then we went bowling for Eli's birthday and I heard the song playing. And you know when you hear a song a couple of times it kinda grows on you? yeah.
Oh! Eli's birthday! I got there late but we bowled for a little while. I got him and game called 'sequence' which my grandparents used to play with me. Hey- since when are board games so gorram expensive?
So the other night was queer poetry. I'm sad I didn't have anything to perform- I'm really stressed out about not having anything for the 29th. Tomorrow night I'm going to be writing like crazy. And monday is a day devoted solely to writing.
Anyway- there was a really hot girl at the poetry slam that I was looking at during the night. She kept looking at me too so I was really excited. Then at the break I went outside and saw her there. I smiled as we made eye contact and to my surprise she came over to talk to me! Imagine how thrilled I was! And then... She asked me something I wasn't expecting. 'Did we go to University together?' Then it clicked. 'Oh, hi Kate.' I can't believe I remembered her name. We chatted for a minute, awkwardly, then she saw someone she knew so I went in without saying goodbye. I figured she'd still be there after the show and I'd talk to her then but to my surprise she left half-way through the 2nd act. Sigh. I gave her friends my facebook but she didn't add me yet. Maybe I'll see her at fuck off and dance if I go.
So why wasn't I expecting her to ask that question? Not that people really expect that question very often- but certainly not twice in one night! A girl was waiting for me outside the bathroom. Uh... ok? Hi? 'Did we go to university together?' I went to university in Ontario. I now live in BC. I realize that a lot of people go to Vancouver to live because it's a wonderful place but... 2 in one night?!!! WTF? I said to talk to her after the slam but she'd left before the end I assume. I didn't see her again.
Jump back a few months- when piffin was visiting during the winter. One day we saw quite a hot person come through the doors of the building and after she flew home a day or two later I decided to talk to the hot person. I went down to their apartment and knocked on the door only to find a teenage boy opening it. So I asked 'is there anyone living here but you?' And he says 'just me and my brother.' So I assumed, the idiot that I am, that the only gender I could possibly be attracted to could be female. And I walked away after making an excuse about knocking on the wrong door.
I didn't think much of it until a little over a week ago when I took out the trash, then held the door for the same hot person who was also taking out -his- trash. Turns out I'm such an idiot- I stopped and told him the story about how I'd knocked on his door because we'd thought he was hot, laughed, and went to drop off my movie. Then I hit myself in the head for not chatting longer as I decided I wanted to be friends with him.
I was really hyped after the slam (amazing- although they should keep the nudity rule. naked men and poetry? meh) so I ran upstairs and wrote a note. 'Dear older brother...' Then, yesterday, I was chatting with Danielle and Megan about what happened with this guy and laughing about it when I realized ***omg- I put his own apartment number at the bottom instead of mine! Ah! WTF?*** and was generally upset from there on out. See, I was thinking it would be smart to put both my facebook and my apartment number- just in case people still lack facebook. Stupid reiley. I live in 208. See how I could get that mixed up with 108? Sigh.
Anyway- he added me to facebook tonight. I'm happy.
Oh! And warren invited me to a 'teenage angst' event. Older people reading from their teenage diaries- it was great. Hilarious, too.
Bloody hell- I wanna see Harry Potter so badly. Do you know ho much I wanted to be one of those nerdy people lining up outside the theatre in their witches outfits, magic wands and the ready?!
So... how many people actually read this long post? *sigh* I'll be even more in the world of the living next week- I got internet, hopefully from monday! Yay! That means people I owe e-mails may actually receive them. And livejounal may become a hobby again.
Fixed my bike. I'm all proud of myself for fixing my own breaks. And I bought a Kryponite. I'm a fucking happy kid! The money was totally worth the piece of mind!
I met Ferry early this morning to go to a training session with Craig Wenslow (or however you say it). All about 'how to sell.' It was good. Downside? Well- it was long. That was a downside. Other than that I took transit to Ferry's house. It seemed logical. Then at the end of the day, leaving from work, I got stuck with a customer. Well worth the money but I ended up missing the bus (cuz it left 5 minutes early!!!) and waiting for 20 minutes. Then I got to the skytrain and saw Liz so we talked for 15 minutes (good conversation too) before I headed into the depths of the earth. Then the skytrain was under construction and I had to wait another 15 minutes until the skytrain came going eastbound. Some nice guy was chatting with me but when the skytrain came he stopped and got on a different car. That made me sad because he was nice but... I guess if you gotta get home you gotta get home. It was crowded with the construction. I didn't make it home until 10:30. The only upside? The $12 boxes were too heavy and I couldn't bike with them in hand.
But a 1.5 hour commute is too long- biking would have taken half the time.
Time.
Wow.
Midnight?
Sleep now.
