Canada Day

Spent a great day walking around TO sampling the Canada Day celebrations with my friend T. The sun was shinning and the stars we aligned for goodness:

Great breakfast that I felt guilty for ordering (too much $ and too many carbs) ended up being free b/c they messed up my order…

Last minute Plants & Animals concert on the waterfront. AMAZING! Not only do they rock but they are from Mtl. Having been addicted to their album Parc Avenue, I was thrilled to catch them live in such a teeny venue. Also got in a game of scrabble, a yummy Indian dinner and good chats with friends lounging on the boardwalk by the water. No fireworks but hey – waddayagunnado?

Also, D called me. You haven’t heard about him yet. That’s because he has been notably absent from my life for over a year.  He fell of the face of my earth without a word and (foregoing all the lead-up to this) he called this evening. It bears saying that we were never lovers, never dated but we have, for many years, had (in my opinion anyhow) a very unique and, for lack of a more appropriate word, magnetic bond. We attended summer camp together for years, we partied together, we discussed art and the world together, hell- we were even roommates for a stint… All this to say we have some solid ground from which to rebound from but no matter, I still felt like I was talkibng to an ex. The conversation was stunted, halting, awkward. I felt like our words were made of the most delicate crystal, being held in the air by our tentative pauses and silences. I felt shy with him and scared. It made me sad and I hope we can move past it. I have missed him so much… I hope we can pick up where we left off…

And ikn other news Im getting my wisdom tooth pulled on Tuesday. Nooooooooooooooooooo!
