Ok.......fair enough.....I failed at keeping up my weekly blog........je m'excuse! I could blame it on the amount of homework, my over-flowing social calendar, or even the non existant extra curricular activities......however, I am pretty sure it is the result of pure laziness.
As it is winter, I might as well start this off with the news of the week from last week. Last thursday night, as Bonnie, Morris, myself, and Lauren headed over to the latter's place, we were stopped in our tracks by the wind. It was blowing upwards of 60mph, with the temperature hanging around -18C, just under -2F or so. When you added in the wind, it felt like below -30C, around the same fahrenheit. Let's just say that it was so cold that my jaw hurt, because I was grinding my teeth against the cold.
The following day, still well within the same temperature range, Lauren and I went over to Queer Concordia in the afternoon. It was a wee bit of a step down from EGAY, but it certainly will turn into something bigger soon! I plan on going back to the weekly meeting tomorrow. At night, Bonnie, Lauren, Morris, and I went out to a club event called Faggity Ass Fridays, with a Lady Gage theme. We all had a great time, especially considering it was too cold to go outside to cool down (We did try, but ran back inside after around a minute as my hair was freezing). Good music, good friends all lead to an equally pleasant evening.
Saturday during the day did not involve much besides some homework, and a trip to Dollarama to get supplies for Lauren's surprise birthday party. It has been organised on facebook, and around 20 people were expected to attend. As it was le Dollarama au Québec, there were no banners in english. So instead of the traditional "Happy Birthday" signs, we had plenty of "Bonne Fête!". (Side note: Bonne fête is how you say it in Québec, in France it is bonne anniversaire!). I headed over to Cameron's place to set up around 9.15pm or so, then people began to roll in once the stuff was up. Around 11pm, an unsuspecting Lauren walked through the door, having been to the Opera already, and was greeted by screams, flying confetti, and maybe even a dance or two....lol As we had predicted earlier, one of her first responses was "What the FUCK?" heheheh <3>
The Arrival
The Arrival
It was quite a lovely party, as the crowd was extremely varied, from dancers and prancers to people with answers (aka geeks like myself). Quick late night walk back and I was in my bed, ready for a hopefully homework-filled Sunday. I got enough done the next day to feel content about starting the new week.
This week hasn't included too much new excitement, although I did enjoy my dinner with Leah on Tuesday. As we discussed, if we have dinner next week on either Tuesday or Wednesday, it will be a very welcome tradition. Wednesday night I went and saw "2012" with Morris and Camille at the Dollar Cinéma, which was rather good if I say so myself. I have a rather fond sentiment for end-of-the-world movies, no idea why....I think its all the action....
I just had my last class of the week, and Cameron, Ryan, Morris, and Lauren are on their way over for dinner in my mini-flat (I say this as my flat is rather more than small). Tomorrow is more queer concordia meetings, along with a dance showcase......Looking forward to another fun-filled weekend à la Montréal!
