so.... i have three days worth of stuff bottled up. three days of fun quality stuff.

first.... i went to david's place on thursday night in whitby/oshawa. i took the train and sadly got seated beside someone who appeared unbalanced – as an extra added disturbing bonus he turned out to be reading american psycho. anyways, i had a super fantastic time with david, as usual. it was short, but very sweet. he took me out for dinner and drove me around in his massive 18 seater van. i shouldn't have laughed at him, but it just seems so funny this young handsome guy driving around in a van the size of my bedroom.


next day, i took the GO into the city for my seminar. i'd never been on the GO before and i was very excited because it's a bombardier train. it was really mellow, i enjoyed just chilling, listening to my ipod. the seminar was good. it was about indesign, which is the program i use at work for brochures, ads, etc, and at home for hatch and the standard. i learned a number of things, but there was a significant amount of things i already knew (about 70-30). which really, made me feel awesome and very confident in my design ability.

afterwards, i met up with kate and we went up the cn tower. i haven't been up since about 1987ish, so it was my first time as an adult, and my first time on the glass floor. i was rather anxious about the glass and held onto kate's arm as i stepped on. it took me a while too, like when i jump into a pool of cold water. we had a really great time because we were there during the daytime, then saw the sunset, and saw the city at night! we sat in the restaurant overlooking the downtown hub. it was a beautiful sight, i strongly suggest the tower at night time.


i took the train home at 10:00. since it was the last train there was no VIA1, which enlightened me to the fact that i've grown quite accustomed to traveling in style and did not enjoy economy class the way i used to :( i don't downsize with as much ease as i'd like.

this afternoon i decided i needed to do some clothes shopping. i hate spending money, but it was quite obviously time for some new pants. sarah kindly brought this to my attention the other day when she stuck her finger in the hole i was hoping no one noticed. anyways, i invited shannon along since she doesn't have a car and probably doesn't make it out to the mall very often. she was very kind to come with me and i realized i've gone shopping with a friend probably about 4 times in the last ten years! afterwards she invited me for dinner. which brings me to the final leg of this entry....

shannon, andrew, chelsea and i went over to the corn maze this evening. it was an amazingly beautiful night to be out in the countryside on wolfe island. we split into teams (s & c vs. a & l) and were given walkie-talkies. andrew and i got horribly lost and just couldn't get ourselves going in the right direction. eventually we gave up and went out the entrance. we came across the farmer who took us in the back way and thru shortcuts until we found shan & chels again. he suggested they give us a head start, then took us way ahead and hid us in the corn stalks so we could jump out and scare the other girls. it was really amusing. we did eventually make it out alive. it was tough. we treated ourselves to a bonfire where we roasted marshmallows and played with the kitties in the barn. it was really fun. kind of funny the contrast between last night and tonight. both were fun.

wow. it's been a jam-packed 3 days. fun times! and we still have 2 days of weekend left!

i've reaccessed some choices,
made amends with all the voices.
