Absolute amazing day.
Although it started early, today was one of the best days I have had. I hate to say in a while or give it any time frame because I have had good days, really good days, however today was an absolute amazing day.
Around 11:40am Em's mom drove us up to SunnyBrook to see P. One of Em's longest and dare I say one of the most important, friends. She is a social worker there, which is amazing, since Em and I are both stronly considering careers in the same field. She gave us some insight as well as some Gossip about Profs. and other people we have either met or had read. It seems as though Em knows everyone and everyone she knows knows everybody else. Everybody who is amazing and creative and wonderful. People we have read in classes, people who think.
P gave us this amazing movie called "Ryan" to watch. The animation was beyond... beyond anything I could possibly descibe to you or even to my self. The dvd also contained another short by the same animator, "The End." Full of feminist theory and post moderest discourse as well as semiotic debate. I don't know what to say, other than I have an extreem conection with this film. It was encompased everything I have learned and come to understand in just 6 short minutes. This man and his films have encompased everything in just under half an hour. My worst fear along with theory after theory that has shaped the person I am today, or at least the person I believe I have been shaped into or that someone has led my to believe I have been shaped into, that is if I exist at all, although I believe I exist, therefore I do.

After having a wonderful chat with P as well as coffee and the grand tour of SunnyBrook, Em and I left to catch the bus to Young/Bloor station so that I could trade in my TTC tokens.
First off, a bus broke down in SunnyBrook (aka` the parking lot) therefore causing us to have to walk out to the road to catch a bus. (all the cars were stuck, do to the bus stopping in the middle of the road!) After reaching Young/Bloor station we found out, much to my disappointment that I had to return to the station we had just been at to trade in my tokens, since they had just run out at the station. We back tracked the four stops only to findout that the wait would be over an hour! With this in mind we returned to Bloor/Young, where they had received new tokens!!!! I traded in my now 34 tokens and we were back on our way! Only to get on the wrong subway out to Wellsley, where we had to then return back to bloor/young and transfer over so as to end up at chester! Eventually we made it to the Danforth where Em and I were finally able to get our Greek Food!
After an amazing meal at Mr.Greeks we walked the few odd blocks back to Em's where we watched what I have to say were some very amazing influential films (see rant above!)
I have now read the majority of my book, watched my short film 3 times and played on the chimputer since originally finishing the shorts a few hours ago. I have eaten absolutely well, healthy, all day and feel amazing. I feel like I have been so productive as well as madly in love. Just as in love as I did when I first met this amazingly beatiful girl months ago. I feel so lucky that in just a few minutes I will be over to go over to where she is working, kiss her forhead and tell her how much I have loved being with her these past few months. How lucky I am to find someone wonderful enough that I am able to cook, clean, shop and read with her by my side. Who I am confortable enough with to be myself fully and completely no matter how many battle wounds are etched within me. To have someone who understands that sometimes I need time with my bestest buds and that thats ok. That we can have time apart and miss each other dearly but know in the backs of our minds that we will be 'comming home' to one another. I am so luck to have not only her but as well some amazing friends, most of whom have become my family, who support me and love me unconditionaly as I do them.
Maybe it is the amazing day, the amazing films or the amount of good nutritious food, but today has been amazing and I am bursting over with love and compasion.
Today has been an amazing day!
