Alright, I'm going to post early today before anyone else gets here to give me a tonne of work to do.
Thursday night last week I didn't hear what was happening with my usual Thursday night buddies because they were all out partying for the UofC's last day. So, I went over to Earl's with Tasha, narikalen and teddy0bear instead. We ate appetizers and deserts and tried out a bunch of their drinks and all was good. I was tired after being up since 5 taking soil samples, but it was still worth it and I got to see Tasha.
Then on Friday, Pei-Yun and Nikki came over and we watched some more Kyou Kara before Pei-Yun had to go to work. Amy and I made Dad come with us to a Theatre Calgary play instead of going to watch more curling. It was nice to spend time with him, but the play was kind of meh.
Saturday was a lot of fun. The three of us got together again and headed over to Kensigton. We wandered around through used book stores and CD stores and toy shops with fun marble works. We ate Indian food for lunch and free Easter Eggs being handed out by people dressed up as fluffy bunnies for dessert. For the most part, we didn't find anything exciting, but one of the used book stores had some really good comic trades that Pei-Yun bought for her friend that I'm reading before she gives them to her *inner Teri does a victory dance*.
That book store had Anne Bishop's Pillars of the World, so I got it and I got Revelation and Transformation by Carol Berg. For those of you not in the knowing, those are my two favourite authors currently, so it was a good haul. I also bought some used manga. Good store.
I bought myself three rings because ... well, because I couldn't leave any of them behind, they all fit and I needed some after losing two in the last 5 months. You think I'd learn ... but they're really pretty and I'm fairly certain I still have enough cash to make it through the next three semesters ...
We stopped off at Chinook to return a shirt that fell apart in the wash and we looked for CDs, but there were none, so we went home. We were going to go rent a movie, but Amy hadn't cleaned the kitchen and my Mom was coming home from Ontario, so being the horrible friend that I am, I made Nikki and Pei-Yun help and by the time we were done it was 9, so we decided to postpone it. We couldn't decide what to rent anyways. Nikki wants to see the He-Man movie and I want to see Kiki's Delivery Service and Pei-Yun wants to see neither but had some other suggestions that I don't remember ...
Anyways, we watched Avatar instead because a) Nikki and I are obsessed and b) we're losers like that. Oh, while we were on the LRT that morning, we watched Captain planet. Yeah, that's right. I love my friends. Also, I'm sure everyone around us knew what we were watching from our conversation and were probably quite disturbed by the discussion of Captain Planet's love life with Mr. Clean ^_^ *preens*
Okay, so it's 8 now and I do have a bunch of work. Stay tuned for information about my and Tasha's Wednesday night adventure!

This particular blend of chai tea has a few to many cloves in it. *makes a face*
*wipes brow* okay, it's about 6 hours later than that original sentence and now I forget all the super important stuff I had to say. I was going to go to Chinatown for Bubble Tea at lunch, but alas, my lunch break became non-existant and I'm just getting around to eating now ... I want to go for a nice, relaxing walk, but I think that maybe I shouldn't leave the office. Especially since there are about 3 more people I wanted to talk to today and most people around here leave at about 4:15.
You know, I really feel like part of the family here ... I'm going to be sad to leave.
It looks like I'm having my goodbye/trade stuff party on the 5th of May for anyone reading this who can come.
Okay, so yesterday, I got home and asked who wanted to go on an adventure with me. Mom said I was crazy, Amy said she had choir, I knew Pei-Yun and Nikki couldn't go, so I called Tasha. She regaled me about her exam and then agreed to come. I dropped Amy off then Tasha and I went over to Northland mall. We failed at finding Easter candy and Wal-Mart's price of 23.80 for Pride and Prejudice was still a bit much for me, but our spirits were not dampened! We went to the food court for dinner. Arby's made me pay $8 for a couple of chicken strips and some fries, but I got to rail at the poor worker about how those chicken strips and fries were $0.50 cheaper if I also got a drink. Honestly people, is it any wonder our world is rotting!? (sorry, I was watching too many good 'how the environment is screwed' documentaries on Monday) Tasha had to listen to me rant about it, but I figured fair is fair since I listened to her rant about her class on Hell and the Bible.
We moved on to Comikaze. You knew it was inevitable. We did a super lot of laughing at ourselves for reading manga because some of the titles there looked super bad. I got Hands Off 6 *cheers* and Tash and I each bought a volume of Yaoi ... I suppose more sad than me buying it is the amount of reading it I've done without so far buying any. There are also a couple titles we need to look into because they looked good, but we weren't sure, so we didn't get them. We may have pondered whether or not to get them longer, except that Tasha reminded me we had to pick up Amy and I swore loudly and proceeded to pay in a swift manner before running back to the car.
Amy had already been picked up by Mom, so we went home and got her before heading out for ice cream at Phil's. They have lychee ice and I wasn't going to get too many more chances to go for ice cream before having to go back to Guelph, so in celebration of the first day of the year when I didn't need a coat to walk home, we decided to go.
Tasha gave me the second book in Kate Forsythe's new series, so I have to start reading that.
And that was the end of our Glorious Adventure. *grin* ... yeah ... ahem
The room is spinning as I write this ... I guess I really should eat something ...
Also, the faster I get this done, the more time I have to make sure I leave everything behind in an organized fashion next week.
