I'm so tired. I think it's not helpin that Darien is gettin me up before noon daily and traipsing around town with him, haha. OMG I've been out with him every day since Fri. I'm gettin sick of seein his mug! Haha, jokes. If it was anyone else, I think I'd lose it...but he's new to me and we actually talk a lot so it's not boring.

But today's my day off from him :P Nah, I'm actually not too in the mood to do anythin with anybody. This girl's gettin old.

Anyhoo, my week of Darien went like this: Tues he came over cuz he was bored out of his mind by himself at home and insists on doin somethin during the day. I showed him my photo albums of all the good times had before he came along and we played some Mario Kart on the GameCube. Then we had dinner while we tried to think of things to do before Al got off work.

L was bein a total ass and not packin for her trip to Jersey/Atlantic City with Debbie. All week and all that day she kept sayin "I need to pack!" but didn't do a damn thing. Dar scolded her to do it cuz she was leavin the next day and to get finished asap so we could go out. We called her later on and she didn't even start! This was hrs ago. So plans with her were out cuz she was now leavin early in the morning. I'm like, FINE I didn't wanna see you before you left anyway! Haha. That bitch.

So were thinkin of goin to see a flick cuz it was cheap movie night but Al didn't get off work early enough and was stuck in...10 o'clock traffic?? so we missed all the late shows. We went to Flavours instead. Good talks, lots of laughs.

Oh I also got a call from Future Shop that day to come in for a 2nd interview. I'm like, Wed at 11? Suuuuure. Fuck, I knew gettin up was gonna be a struggle but obviously you don't let them know that, haha. And Dar and Al were goin to Nathan Philips Square the next day for some R&B/jazz lunch hr outdoor concert thing and wanted me to come with.

I got up at 10 on Wed, took a shower, got dressed in my interview best, and jetted. I was scared I was gonna be late and that wouldn't look good at all but I actually got there a couple mins early. And then the manager who was gonna be interviewin me was runnin late. The girl told me he'd be like 15 mins and said I could go get a coffee or somethin so I went to Timothy's. Ugh, rushed for nuthin :P

I'm kinda surprised they called me back cuz they said if I was chosen, I'd hear from them in 48 hrs from the 1st interview. They called me 5 days later. Yeaaaah. Oh well. He said the 2nd one would be a longer, in-depth one so put aside 45 mins to an hr. I'm like, I know it's gonna be a behavioural kind of interview, like how you'd handle customers and if you wouldn't steal and stuff like that but geez, 45 mins?? In a 2nd interview? For a retail job?

Well I think I did OK. Natually it could've gone better in my mind but it's not like you can really prepare yourself for this kinda thing. I didn't have my references' contact numbers with me so he said I could email them to him. I anticipated it would go til noon and that's what I told Dar and Al. They said they'd wait for me but I was like, if it runs longer than that, it's not my fault! Figures the manager was late. But it actually wasn't more than 45 mins and I got out a bit past 12. Al started work at 3 so I had to speed it home, change, and meet them outside so we could head downtown.

They were doin some free outdoor live music thing for the professionals on their lunch hr downtown and there were a buncha food vendors in the square. It's really nice, if I'm sittin in the shade :) Then Al had to bounce and me and Dar went to wander around.

We went to the Eaton Centre, up and down Dundas, around Union past the Hockey Hall of Fame, ACC, Rogers Centre, CN Tower (where we played air hockey in the ground level, haha), chilled in Dundas Square. He wanted to do the Hippo Tour really bad but he left his camera in Al's car. We walked SO MUCH. It was a good day out tho. Then we went to Casey's for dinner.

Stellas and margaritas helped along our conversation, haha. We got to talkin about relationships and life and all that. It was interesting to tell all these details cuz I guess me and Dar are still gettin to know eachother. And it's great cuz it's finally a guy who's not into dating me! So I can tell him shit, and look like crap, and have him over at my house, and not even care cuz we're just hangin out.

Then we TTC'ed it home. Takin the subway home after drinks is always a time. Holy crap, I was out ALL DAY from 11 am to midnight. So I couldn't email my references and we were thinkin all the way home about how I can get my three. Anyway, long thing about that. I couldn't email the manager just yet...was kinda concerned if it's really that bad if I took 2 days to send it :S

I don't check my email for one day and I get 7 msgs :P And I got a buncha snail mail too. I love gettin mail - convocation photo stuff, Rogers Video coupons (free movies, sweet), and some club invite. I'm such a dork.

So today, I just went shoppin with my mom and bro for random stuff. He was gettin back to school things and the moms was all about the household items. I technically got all my goodies for free cuz it was on Mom :) She had some Visa points rewards gift certificate or whatever so our 130 somethin dollar total came out to $8, haha. Nice. Then I had a dentist appointment. Pointless really, when my teeth are so awesome. But my mom made me go cuz it's the last time I'm covered for it cuz I'm done school.

I'm not startin up school this Sept. That's kinda weird to me. I've always had to get geared up for a new semester every yr for all my life and this yr, I don't gotta be nowhere. Well...extended summer break!

Let's see...

Sat was Q's with L and Dar. I need a challenging opponent for once! Haha. I'm still the pool champ. We sat and drank after we ran outta loonies and got silly. Then we hit Pizza Pizza cuz they were hungry. So much fun. We saw "Moka Only" ;) Hahaha. My skin gets so unattractive when I'm drunk. It gets like these pink splotches all over, esp my stomach and my chest like I have some kind of condition and it doesn't look good at all :P

Anyway, I was initially drivin but the car still reeks of gasoline so I hate drivin it and subjecting my passengers to fumes. Weeeee! Breathe it in! Then we dropped my car at L's and she drove instead. Then drivin home, it was back to the Gas Mobile. Got a lil tipsy, got a lil high, haha.

Sun was good times. The plan was to go to Wonderland. I went over to Meen's cuz she has a season's pass and I figured I could borrow it. They have picture ID on them but they never usually check cuz they're all worn-out teenagers who work there and normally don't care. I don't look like Meen but her and her family were like, just wear a hat and glasses and go to the kid who looks the most bored/tired/jaded/least anal. The main thing is that the pass hasn't been scanned once already that day cuz that means multiple ppl are usin it. I dunno what they're so tight about cuz Meen's already paid for it and can go any day, every day if she wanted and if she wasn't usin it this day, then where's the harm in me usin it once? :P Cuz I a 1-day pass is like over $60. Eff that. At the most, we'd just do our usual thing and buy a grounds pass for cheaper, press the stamp they put on it against our hand, and go on the rides anyway.

L had a hair appointment at 1 and we thought she wouldn't be done til 3 so me and Dar went down Main St to go for lunch. 2 pm came around and L was done already and called just as we were open to go into some pub. L went to go pick up G and Shaun while me and Dar made it back to my house. I ate (Dar's stubborn and pretty much didn't eat all day) and then L picked us up. Got there around 4.

G and them had gone to Blockbuster for discounted $35 1-day passes and they went thru the gates first. So I went to some kid that looked like the best choice...WRONG. The guy looked at the pass like a club bouncer and was like, is this you? I looked at it and tried to play it off innocently like, "Oh shit, my friend must've taken the wrong one...then she's got mine." I was so close to just goin, "Umm...YES. It's MY season's pass, isn't it?" Haha. But clearly, I don't look like the picture even tho I had my sunglasses on and my hair was up. He's like, well do you have a season's pass? I said yes (didn't I just say we got them switched...hmph, tryin to catch me in a lie, haha). So he's like, then it's OK, just go to the season's pass window at tickets services over there and give them your postal code and stuff so they can check your pass ID in their records and let you thru. I'm like, OK! But actually, more like fuuuuuuuck. So I didn't get away with it but at least I didn't get in shit. I had no choice but to buy a pass but I saw it comin and had brought my credit card :P Got a grounds pass (still $5 less than what the others paid! Haha, cheap) and made sure that guy didn't see me come in!

We had gotten to the park kinda late so that didn't give us a lotta time to go on many rides. I think we only went on like 6 or 7 cuz the lines were insane. We were there til they closed. But at least since we were there in the late afternoon/evening/night, I didn't really hafta worry about sun protection. I did end up gettin a slight burn/tan but it's not bad at all. I didn't even notice til the day after.

I lost my freakin sunglasses on the Wild Beast. It's this ridiculous bumpy, shaky roller coaster that rocks you so bad, you can't stop laughin. Well I thought it would be OK wearin my sunglasses but they weren't stayin on my face. I caught them and clipped them on the front of my shirt during a calm period but then the speed and the ups and downs made them fly right off. They were in the air for a second right in front of Darien cuz he was sittin beside me and I grabbed at them mid-air but I couldn't get a hold of them and there they went. They landed on the grass below as we hurtled on. It was in the employees restricted area cuz it's under the coaster so I doubt I could've gotten them back with little trouble so I said screw it. Balls.

Ernie came after so the rest of them got to meet him. He won G a Care Bear, those luvahs.

It was fun. It was basically me and Dar who went on everythin and we chatted a lot waitin in line. Then everybody went on Drop Zone as the last ride of the night. I didn't want to, haha. Once was good enough for me...it took me yrs to build myself up to try it and that was it! But I did it anyway (the view of CN Tower at night in the horizon is nice! :P). I swore the whole way up and I screamed at the top of my lungs all the way down. That kinda hurt my throat cuz it's a freakin long straight drop. We're gonna go again in Sept and actually do all the new rides.

Ummm...yesterday me and Dar were supposed to do lunch again but shit came up. I had long convos with Al and L. Then me and Dar went to Timmy's and talked for over 2 and a half hrs about his life in England and all his personal history. Crazy. And Charles asked if I wanted to go see a movie that night too, ha.

We're again supposed to do lunch/hang out/go to Main St. Unionville/check out The Old Curiostiy Tea Shop cuz it's British and it so cutely reminds him of home, haha. I think he wants go mini-putting or go to Dave & Buster's today but L's packin all her crap and leavin for Jersey tomorrow. He's turnin into a busy lil bee with the bday stuff and the hotel booking and the CNE plans. I just don't like how he's gettin me to wake up at 11 and goin out in the day all the time now, haha.
