we've sacrificed our purities and crafted new identities...

Have so much to tell!

Thursday, June 4th:
Steve arrived! soooo happy!

Friday, June 5th:
Thank goodness for good weather! We took the ferry to Toronto Island, rented Quadricycles (which were traded in for regular bicycles when we realized how difficult it was to ride the Quadricycles), and took in the day. Upon returning to downtown Toronto, we headed to Yonge-Dundas Square, where the Luminato Festival was kicking off. We met an older Torontoian couple in the beer gardens, who brought with them interesting conversation. It was going to be awhile until Randy Bachman hit the stage, so we decided to go eat dinner at Imperial Pub on Dundas St., just East of Yonge. It was pretty good, and very filling...and beer was served in these giant mugs!

Randy Bachman was awesome, and though it was hard to stand on concrete for so long, I think Steve enjoyed it too. Jen met us for his set too, which was awesome because we started singing the songs to each other.

Saturday, June 6th:
Canada's Wonderland day! Much to my body and internal clock's dismay, we [Meg, Steve, me] woke up really early to make sure we were at the park fairly early on. Despite arriving 1/2 hour after the park opened, it was a Saturday and full of kids, thus we still had to wait an hour and a half to go on our first ride. We got in about 3-4 rides, plus the waterpark, so I guess it was worth it....Next time, it'd be more worthwhile to go on a weekday before school lets out. We also had foot long hot dogs (haven't had that in a while!) and I got an ICEE, my first one in a number of years.

After going home and freshening up, we hit King Street for dinner, trying the Red Tomato (the second time, for me)...again, it was delicious and the price was right. We were all pretty exhausted, so we headed home for good afterwards.

Sunday, June 7th:
Steve's last full day in Toronto :( We didn't want to do anything too strenuous because we were still tired from the last few days, so we grabbed some cheap candy (thanks, dollarama) and met Meg at the theatre to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine which was really good--now I have to see the other X-Men movies!

In order to limit required walking, we ate dinner at Spring Roll, also very good.

Monday, June 8th:
Took Steve to the airport! Saaaaaad face. Had a relatively slow day, besides going to another job interview that evening.

Wednesday, June 10th:
Met H's friend A, who took me around to the restaurant districts in Toronto, gave me pointers on applying for jobs, told me where NOT to apply, etc etc. Much appreciated, and hopefully it comes in handy.

Friday, June 12th:
Had 2 interviews, one went well but job turned out to be ridic, one went terrible, based on my non-experience at serving. The day redeemed itself when I bought Jet tickets--they're playing Toronto July 6th! In addition, Meg and I went to the Thea-tah to see The Hangover...seriously hilarous!

Uneventful weekend, But I have been reading quite a bit, as well as watching a lot of movies. I watched He's Just Not That Into You, Confessions of a Shopaholic, Revolutionary Road, Rachel Getting Married, Penelope, and The Soloist.

This weekend, on the other hand, has been much more exciting, but I want to get outside and enjoy the sun for a bit...I'll try to update again later today!

Guys? Chad fell down...

ahh behind again. I just haven't been in the mood to write, but my mood is in the process of changing, what with Steve coming to visit tomorrow!

Friday, May 22nd:
I had my first shift at TM here! The work is exactly the same, the only things that are different are the customers, co-workers, and venue maps. Kinda neat starting a new job and knowing what to do already.

Saturday, May 23rd:
Another shift! A looong shift! The event, Seseme Street Live, was fun to work...not many angry customers at all, everyone was there to enjoy themselves.

Sunday, May 24th:
Picnic! At High Park! While we didn't get a chance to have a good look around, Meg and I approve, based on it's park/cabin/beach-like properties. I wish I had a bike here so we could do it up in style. Picnic was a potluck so I brough perogies, I hope the other ladies liked them! Afterwards, I went back to Meg's, where we ate dinner and watched Footloose. We have decided to learn the end dance from the movie for our next bar night. It's going to be amazing.

Monday, May 25th: NOTHING, besides talking with the rents over SKYPE, which does not work well with my internet connection, lemme tell ya.

Tuesday, May 26th:
I won premiere tickets for Away We Go so Meg and I met for dinner and then went to the movie. It was fabulous! two very enthusiastic thumbs up.

Wednesday, May 27th:
Pouring. Didn't leave house.

Thursday, May 28th:
Still raining, but decided I had to leave the house sometime. Went to Dufferin Mall to apply for jobs and then buy a fan and mattress pad. I was successful for the latter two activities! Also watched Glee Club, one of Fox's new shows and I was pleasantly surprised.

Friday, May 29th:
Partay! One of my roommates was leaving Toronto, so we had a dinner party. There was so much delicious food! Afterwards, we went to the bar to meet some friends. Good night all around.

saturday, May 30th:
Due to our late night, I slept very late at Meg's, even while we were watching The Departed. I went home eventually, then watched more movies on tv, The Little Black Book and The Breakup, both being decent. I also made curry! Based loosely on Steve's mum's recipe, I think I did pretty good.

Sunday, May 31st:
Went to the library, got some books out, hung around all day.

This week was just a write-off. We'll leave it at that.
