Jen stayed over last night. We had originally been going to either the Townehouse to meet up with some of my friends or watch the UFC event; after dinner at Chris & Shauny’s. Dinner was excellent. The food was very good and there was ice cream cake and beer; domestic and import. We ended up smoking a lot; watched a lot of tv, before I owned Chris in a match of Worms on the Xbox 360 and then smoked more.
When we got back to my place, both of us where pretty dead so I set up Jen on the couch and found my bed.
Today we took crazy carpets to a few hills around the city and found a giant mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream. After that we made our way to Science North; to get moon food from the gift shop. They didn’t sell it anymore, but I got Chris a sheep to remind him about the Worms match and I got myself a liquid display for my desk. It’s hard to describe, but is cool. Then we came back here for pictures and guitar hero. I rocked it sober, so if I want to play good on Hard I can’t smoke (note to self). In between all of this we held hands, and kissed. It was pretty sweet; except when she rubbed snow in my face during the crazy carpeting (note to self).
I really hate the t-bar lifts at that hill. It’s a fine, small bump of a place to play, and the middle/right side is pretty fun if you’re going fast; but the t-bar always kills it for me.
Ok, that’s my complaining for today. The riding was pretty sweet today. There wasn’t many people out, a few other good riders on the hill and maybe 20cm of fresh snow. I got my first chance to really test out the new Capita board and it was so fucking amazing. I consistently lost Chris on the hill if we had equal or close to equal starting speed (I was able to overtake a few times). It carves excellently; handles pretty much all conditions well and is snappy still. I’ve never had a board that did everything perfectly before, so uh… yeah. Buy a Capita if you ride.
I have a dinner date type event tonight with Chris & Shauny, Christine (THiNK) and Jen. Chris also found my recap of last night .. cute. Sigh.
So, last night Jen came over after going to dinner some family. Chris was already here, he had come to check out the new arrangement of furniture and have a mini sesh; fun stuff. We played some guitar hero and I was rocking out when Jen arrived. The game is seriously handicapped when you smoke any weed, to the point of almost not being fun; and Jen had smoked none. Suddenly she’s pulling >90k scores which is great ’cause she’s only got a few hours of play time so far. Very impressed.
Chris left a bit after that, and then I got shy. Shy! hah, jesus it felt like I was in high school again. Anyways, I’ve been crushing on Jen for a while now and I meant to kiss her a couple of nights ago but the moment got akward briefly so I let it pass. Last night I got antsy again, and then Jen said something like ‘fuck it’ and then I was totally into a kiss. It was very nice. I was totally nervous. Now I want more, but she’s going home in a few days; sigh. I invited her to a new years party where we could “drink and make out” hehe, hopefully she comes.
I decided I wanted a new Ipod nano, so I went and found a black one. I like it very much. I don’t know if I’ll keep my little Zen Stone around for a backup; it might still be useful. I also grabbed a usb wireless nic for my desktop comp so I could move it in my bedroom and change things around a bit. The nic is 108Mb g spec, so it should be fast enough for what I need because my soho is also the same speed/spec. All in the family!
I hung out with family that I haven’t seen in years and had a wonderful time. My little second cousin is adorable and it was just great to see everyone. Everyone seemed pretty cool with my tats considering they’re a pretty straight bunch; heh family rocks.
I spent Christmas Eve alone at my place. It was different; I’m used to a pretty large family gathering at Maegan’s but that’s not happening anymore hah. It was always super stressful, so not a big loss; but I do miss the peeps. They were nice. So, yesterday I smoked the last bit of weed I had and watched movies and Top Gear. Ford Mondeo got car of the year! Bahahaha!
Due to the quiet night I’m up pretty early. Since it’s Christmas, I guess that’s ok; however it’s still super boring. So boring, I think I’ll be calling my grandparents and joining them at church for mass. They do the Christmas eve/day mass; so either they’ve gone or will be going today. Playing the odds here. I still need to wrap my misc gift for the swap. Someone is getting a hot chocolate combo box which I’d be pretty happy to keep. I hope I don’t get more mugs; I always end up with mugs somehow.
Jen came by around 8. I had smoked a pinner before she arrived, so I was already in a pre-party mood. She brought a big Heineken champagne bottle so we drank from flutes and played guitar hero. I tried the dlc I got from Live and rocked the Dropkick Murphys song.
Around 10pm we left for the bar. I noticed Dave as we entered and he joined us by the pool tables, where we sat for most of the night in a rotation almost. The bar filled up with people wearing sweaters and blazers; some kind of theme night by the new college/university kids, or something. A bunch of friends showed up over the night and it was great. Leah and Sarah were the last to arrive I think. I hadn’t seen Sarah in like, 5 years I think. Too long. Everyone had a camera it seemed, so lots of drunk pics. Dave got one of me pissing in the bathroom. It seemed to annoy/concern the guy beside me while I laughed.
The other Dave (Heaton) arrived with Ryan (Keebler) which kicked ass. I hadn’t seen Keebler in at least 6 months. At some point Dave dropped his beer while we were standing and the bar cheered. The guy that cleaned it up didn’t seem to mind too much.
A lot of people asked about the new tats. It was pretty fun.
Getting food, and then home was an adventure. Dave (H) and I walked to the Pita Pit a few blocks over while Ryan drove Jen and Christine. When we got there, we discovered a giant line up so we decided to walk a few more blocks over to a Sub City; which was also very busy. The crowd was a little different but generally alright. My sub was good, I don’t know about Jen’s. She alluded to it being ok, but we were pretty drunk so maybe I heard it wrong. We walked back to where Ryan had parked and talked about who would get a ride. It wasn’t Jen and I, which sucked but also made sense. Getting a cab appeared to be impossible so we walked back to my place.
It took about 30-45 minutes. When we got here, we passed on having an after party smoke/drink because it was 4:20(!) but we were dead.
I slept till almost noon. Jen said I was snoring. We went for lunch at a bar/diner up a few blocks from my place called Eddies and I had a killer omelette. Jen’s meal also looked good; it was some kind of tomato sandwich. After we ate we ended up at Chris and Shauny’s for a few hours.
Last night rocked. Now for a quiet day before Christmas.
I just ordered myself a Pentax AF540FGZ and a DA* 16-50mm. Originally I was going to get a strobe kit, but when I factored in the cost of portable batteries this seemed like a much better purchase for overall options. The strobes will be next, probably in a couple of months.
