I hate Chinatown!

I've never been a fan of Chinatown.  It's smelly, too crowded, and campy.  I do however love asian food.  I think my hell would involve being stuck in Chinatown alone with nothing to eat but spicy food!

Anyways, I had a nice outing with Naomi yesterday.  We ate some Ethiopian food, walked around the city and watched some live music in Kensington.  Adam's band, Youth Crime, was lots of fun!  I really wish Myke would get out there and play live shows.  It'd be a win-win situation as far as I'm concerned (i.e. he'd get more experience playing his music live and I'd get out of the house more)!

Tonight, I'm hanging in with the hubby.  I'm making a yummy chicken bake (hopefully it won't be dry this time around) and we might just rent a movie or two.

Friendly expectations

I just realized that most of my facebook friends aren't really friends at all.  I'd put most of them in the acquaintances category.  Of course, with this realization, I feel like a bit of a loser.  Why am I "friends" with these people if they aren't really my friends?  Maybe it's cause I want to look popular or maybe it's cause I'm curious to see what they have become.  Either way, it leaves me with an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.  

When I was younger I use to call everyone my "best friend."  I was a bit of a "best friend" slut, I suppose!  Since University I have realized that the term "best friend" is really stupid and elementary.  What is a "best friend" anyways?  I think the term gets misused a lot!  I always thought a best friend was someone who you spend a great deal of time with and who you share your deepest and darkest secrets.  So then what is a "close friend"?  I think it's someone who knows you well (i.e. your quirks, likes/dislikes, etc...) and enjoys spending time with you.  I guess that would mean that a "friend" is someone you enjoy seeing occasionally and knows you enough to feel comfortable around you (and you around them).  

All this to say...I have a lot of "friends" who are border line "close friends."  And the only person I know who matches the "best friend" definition is Myke.  

Drifting in and out of sniffles

I've never been a fan of suburbs.  I don't like being so far from a city.  That said, I did enjoy my time in Barrie this weekend.  We ate yummy food (thanks to Eryn for a kick-ass dessert!), went to Jeff's gig and played Rock Band until the wee hours of the morning.  Of course, the next day was a write-off as I didn't go to sleep until 4 or 5 am.   

I'm happy that we are back in Canada.  We have lots more at our fingertips!  I just wish my immediate family lived here.  I miss them!

"What movie are we watching again??!!"

I use to love watching movies in a movie theatre.  The smell of the popcorn, comfy reclining seats and the huge screen made me happy.  These days though I get a knot in my stomach every time I see a movie in public.  And the reason for this is plain and simple: I HATE THE AUDIENCE!  They come in just when the movie starts, check their cell phones during the film and talk until the end credits come up on the screen.  If people want to be assholes, they should just stay in and rent a movie!  I am just amazed at how many stupid, selfish people there are in this world!! Ok, I'm getting myself worked up.  I'll stop.  

Oh, but one more thing...marriage should be a partnership.  The man is no smarter or more amazing than the woman.  They are equal!  Got it??? Good!

A Green Wedding!

Yesterday Myke and I attended Rose and Noah's wedding.  The weather was beautiful (extra sunny!)!!  Rose and her bridesmaids looked amazing!

I'm not much of a wedding person, but I really had a great time.  It was great to see old friends!  

Up next: Weekend with Cat!
