so..about my trip downtown, i stayed at the condo, cuz that's the only place i could stay (obviously) so yesterday (thursday) jordan and kate came over to see the condo. well, before that, i woke kate up with my phone call, and then since i thought she'd go back to sleep, i wnet walking outside, and when i came back, jordan called me (for the 3rd time, he said) and i went to the subway station to pick them up. omg, there were soooo many groups of pilgrims outside! and they were all going the opposite way i was going (to exhibition place) so i passed by tons of people. and omg, tons of hot guys! i swear, it's like, a hot guy haven! *swoon!* and when i got to the station, i couldn't find harvey's, which was the place we were gonna meet! so i was like walking around stupidly for 20 minutes trying to look for the place! and wile i was walking around, i was also checking out all the hot guys, and believe me, there were many! besides them, there were hundreds of other people, carrying flags and, geez, they all have the same backpack! anyway, so i finally asked someone for directions, and i'm going up these staires to the main level, and right at the top of the staires, there's this group of pilgrims. and i was at the top and one of the guys there, who was indeed incredibally good looking, stopped me, and he's like "hey, where're you from?" so i'm like "from here." and he's like "here? oh! i'm from Italy!" so i was really friendly and and i told him to enjoy his stay here, and he grinned at me and we shook hands. =) that was the happiest moment of my day! *sigh* i should've kept talking to ihm. oh well...anyways, so i found harney's and after a while, kate nad jordan arrive and we had a huge hugfest, and then off we went back to the condo. we basically hung out for a while til mom called, and she told me to call bernard, cuz we wants to come. and i was surprised cuz i thought he was gonna go to WYD with his friends, so i call bernard, and we talked a while, and he said he was gonna come. so all three of us made popcorn, and then left to pick bernard up at the subway station again, and to buy lunch. so then we met up with him and then we all headed back to the condo again. we all hung out a little bit, with nothing to do. we were gonna buy a pack of normal playing cards, til bernard said he had the italian cards. the ones he played with matthew and, i think, daniel, when we were still at gabriel's place. so he taught us how to play Brisk, and believe me, it was confusing! after that, kate and jordan had to go home, so now we can't play brisk cuz there's only two ppl. bernard and i talked about what we were gonna bring for saturday, and stuff, and then he called his tae kwon do place. that took a long time, cuz he couldn't figure out where it was. we checked in the yellow pages and everything! well, actually, only the yellow pages. heh heh...so yeah...after that, we found out the street it was on but we didn't know where it was! so we wnet to unionstation again go look for a ttc map, which took forever! so then we finally found it, and we sat down to look at where the place was, and to see which place was closer. he finall concluded that going back home would be closer, cuz if he went to the dt location, it'd take him a long time go get back home. so then i saw him to the subway paying place, and then i went back to the condo,took a shower, and then went to chinatown to buy dinner--at this Vietnamese place, where they sell really yummy sandwiches. after that, i walked around and got Cassia a really cute chinese fabric-ed shirt, and then left Chinatown. i walked around Queen's and stuff, and at around 9:15 i headed back to the condo, where i ate the sandwich. actually, i was cutting it in half, and the knife was really sharp, and i cut myslef pretty deep-on accident, of course. it hurt!! and it was beelding!! oh well..so then this morning i cleaned up and packed and then i went home. it rained pretty hard, and i got soaked! mehh...so yeah...at least i got a cinnabon! yummm...=)
