Ahh yes. Midterms are over and the long weekend is upon me. I'm sitting in my room in one of my finest robes, Piña Colada in hand, enjoying some classical music and eating cucumber sandwerrches. Hahaha it's been so long since i've said that. But sadly no Piña Colada's or cucumber sandwiches. I had orange juice and some grapes earlier, and am sitting here in pajama pants. It has been a very relaxing weekend even without the wealthy lifestyle, and a lot of fun too! But first let me try to recap the past 6 weeks since I last wrote on here!
School.
Okay so on friday night me and Amanda did a whole bunch of things. After school we went to her house and she surfed facebook while I made a haircut appointment. I probably massaged her back at some point too, because i do that haha. I find it really stress relieving a lot of the time, and i hope she finds it relaxing too. Anyways, so i went to the mall and got my hair hacked off. It had gotten pretty long and me and Amanda were going to a dance on saturday night, so i had to look presentable. We had also decided that my dress pants were far too tight for me to wear out in public, so i tried to find replacements. I had already borrowed a dress shirt and tie from a buddy of mine, but since he is a tad shorter than i am we figured his pants would look pretty ridiculous on me. So then the idea was presented for me to just wear my dad's pants. Sure, i could work with that, throw a belt on them and tighten it a bit. It would work... right? WELL, that plan didn't exactly get very far. I pulled a pair out of his closet and immediately realized that while he's not huge by any means, i am a fair bit smaller than he is. So unless Amanda wanted to squeeze into the other unoccupied half for the dance.. they wouldn't fit. So i finally decided that i needed a new pair of dress pants. Thankfully i had Amanda here to chauffeur me around as i went all these places, because my car-- i mean... my dad's car; was in Canmore with him and Joe for the long weekend. So after the haircut and a trip to safeway to pick up some snacks we were off to my house to watch a The Office. Hahaha. I forgot which one we eventually watched, although it is pretty much guaranteed to be a good episode with that show.
After giggling away at that great cast of characters we headed back to Amanda's pad for her to finish up some Chemistry before we headed out for the evening. I don't exactly remember what all happened here, so i won't make stuff up to fill up more space haha. So she was able to get a lot of that done before we finally headed out at 730 or so and over to the Pants Store. Well since we don't actually have a store called "The Pants Store" in Edmonton to my knowledge, we went to Moores instead. Within 30 seconds of being in the store we had a sales associate leading us to my size of dress pants and moments later i had a pair in hand to try on. Standard black dress pants, 34 x 34. They fit like a charm, and looked pretty decent too! So we handed them in to be hemmed and took a look at their selection of ties and collared shirts while we waited. There are some horrible looking ties out there hahaha. Like you honestly have to wonder who would buy something like that? I'll have to find some examples of what i mean and post them next time, hoping that no one who reads this will find their favorite ties in my list =p . So we were finished there in short order and starving by this time, so we decided to make the short hop over to our local asian culinary eatery Beijing Beijing. When we got there we thought it looked really busy, but we were too hungry to travel elsewhere and had both agreed that we were craving chinese food. The server inside asked if we were having the buffet or not, but warned us that they would not be putting out any more food as the night went on, so whatever was left there was what we could eat. As incredibly unappetizing as that sounded to me at the time I said we would take a look and decide on a course of action. We trekked around the corner and took a look at the bits and pieces left of other people's meals. As we surveyed the wreckage the chef from the back came out and started adding a bunch of fresh ginger beef and other essentials. We looked at eachother and decided to get it while it was hot! It was a really good meal, and after being as hungry as we were it tasted all the better. After stuffing my face with a plate full of food i wanted to get some soup that i missed on my first pass. So i snuck off to get some but what i found was an oily rectangular pit with lukewarm yellow liquid in it, and i immediately lost my appetite for a hearty bowl of wonton soup. Instead i looked at their selection of desserts, and only found lemon Jell-o to look mildly appetizing. I grabbed a bunch of cubes and headed back to that good looking girl i had been sitting with. She was giggling away as i approached her with this bowl full of jiggling Jell-o cubes. I sat down and started laughing too, which inturn led me to drop one! :O :O Oh no! So with reaction speed like a cat... or a cobra, or some fast animal like that; i grabbed it as it bounced off of the tabletop and threw it into my mouth. Only to realize as it sat on my tongue that during its bounce it happened to gather debris from the table... This suspicion was confirmed as i began to chew and found several odd hard objects stuck to the side of it. I mumbled this around the foreign-object-infested-Jell-o to Amanda who burst out laughing. I was finally able to swallow the thing, and ate the rest with caution to not drop any. After we were done and paid for (and had each taken several of the complimentary candies at the counter) we headed to S. Commons to the theatre! It was fun! We stood in line for our theatre to open because it was being cleaned, and we saw this machine that spat out balls with little toys in them for a quarter. Giddily we waited for all the 6 year old girls to leave before i went over and deposited our quarters with glee. We got some bracelets and a little Pokemon. Surprisingly it was one that i knew from the originals, and i still remembered from Grade 5 what it was called. Amanda said i was a geek because i knew what it was (#151 - Mew :p). Hahaha it is probably true though. Ah well i can't help that i have a good memory for some things. Anyways! So it's late, and people are waiting for this. The movie, Dan in Real Life with Steve Carell was awesome! 5/5. Just that good. I'd recommend it anytime =). After the movie was done we headed back to my house to drop me off, and while we were there we watched a The Office again, after seeing Steve Carell in another setting. ANYWAYS. I'll... get to the rest of these past 6 weeks another time then. Until next time! Cheers!
