visiting the village
Drunken post on a keyboard that's not my own. Bear with me on the typos.
Fucking HTML . . .
Staying with
Chel from
yesterday until Tuesday. She lives in "the Village," at Wood and Church, TWO
BUILDINGS DOWN FROM THE FUCKING MAPLE LEAF GARDENS MUTHAFUCKA!
*ahem*
So yes, that's where I am. I'm loving it here. Every other time I have come
to TO in the past few years, it's been at the other end of downtown, which is
packed with consumer-minded mean people (I'm talking Bloor and Spadina here).
But in the Village . . .
People smile here. They tell you that you're beautiful and don't want to get
into your pants. If you sing in the street they smile indulgently and look
away so you don't get embarrassed.
So I would totally live here if god forbid I had to move to this godforsaken
city.
*sigh*
I had a really fun day today. We've been silly since we got up. Went for
breakfast and hilarity ensued. Then booked it out to the Ontario Science
Centre to see the Bodyworks 2 exhibit. AWESOME. Then back. Then dinner at
this place that was good and had springrolls. Then drinking lots and lots of
wine and more giggles with the three of us, then joined by Chel's friend Gui. Then to this wicked bar called
Zippers. Of course it's a gay bar.
I danced with lots of gay women and gay men. And Greg. But we all know about
Greg. It was a lot of fun, and I didn't want to leave. I made some new
friends, who told me I looked like Lindsay Lohan (I have her, Megan Follows,
Geena Davis, Andie McDowell, Julia Stiles, and someone else, on my list of
people I apparently look like) and made me promise to return with my boobs.
Done and done. I haven't had so much fun dancing ever. People touched my ass
but only because they thought it was nice and not because they wanted to see
it sans jeans. And there was so much space to move, not some piecemeal place
with dumbass chicks who get bitchy if you invade their personal domain. Pish.
So it's been a slice, and the evening is not over yet. Wish me luck!
