While out today...walking...I felt something...you know, compelled to look around. As I look to my left....I see a person looking at me from inside a bus, waving. I get confused...I know him, that's my friend, I wave back and frantically mouth words of confusion...."Seriously?!"
I haven't seen him in person for a while, just emailed and talked on the phone...which makes it all the more entertaining to 'meet' randomly...on the street...separated by street/bus....it was hilarious!
Oh Toronto! good times.

Listening to npr today... an old cast of a girl who is writing a song about her break-up with her ex...but she doesn't actually write songs....and so, she wants some professional advice. seeing as phil collins has significant meaning to the now broken-up couple...she decides to cotanct phil collins. thiss achieved, she and phil have a real heart-to-heart..there is mention of how the only way to still feel 'that strongly' about something is to not let it go...and that is what she is doing with her song, so says the girl and phil. her song, thanks to some help from friends, actually turns out not so bad...phil likes the line "You do me no good, in fact, you do me bad".

Three years and I'm finally home...

I walk down to the laundry facility at Joy and alberto's tonight and there is a guy doing his laundry...i thought he saw me...i enter the room, the door SLAMS behind me...he turns, looks at me...then screams...but in a slow, false-like scream and says 'you scared me'...so i tell him as i giggle, 'shoot, you scared me!'
and i've been reenacting the scream ever since!!!! turn.pause.ahhhhh.pause. story best told in person, probably.
