Long-Distance Dude

I met up with Leslie (glowing_dragon) at Langara Station - she had a balcony mat, which she'd just bought for the park outing. We went to Douglas Park to meet Jon, Harmony, and Ayler. This was after we went to Dragon Ball to pick up bubble tea. Jon paid me back for his order of something fruity (mango) - half sugar - coconut jelly for Harmony, and something adventurous (red bean and longan) - half sugar - pearls for himself. Leslie didn't have cash, so I paid... I also got taro, and she got a pudding. Mr. Dragon Ball was still there!

Jon, Harmony, Leslie, and I talked about baby Ayler, parenthood, the bright yellow color of my shirt, Leslie's Canucks shirt, their grandma and her eye not being quite open, Steph, Lisa, the puppy, life updates, construction, Nathan, Desmond, and more. When I held the baby, Ayler started crying! Their friends Edwin and Jane showed up with baby Rebecca, and both babies started fussing and crying when they looked at each other! Talked about their friends' Brian and Amy's wedding next week, Amy finding the ring before the proposal, Norman, Sean, children's concerts (one was in the background!), and more. Leslie and I left earlier than they did because of the sun and a bit of hunger. We talked about Kingspark Seafood House, but she wanted to see if we could find that Italian Tomato place which her friend Eliza recommended to her months ago. As it turned out, we did - but not after some creative driving and turns of phrase! No, she didn't mind if I swear! I probably shouldn't do that in front of her, but she assures me that she says worse when alone, hahaha.

Discussed her grandma, pasta, my cousins not being babies anymore, pizza, mushrooms, chicken, spicy Italian sausage, shrimp, life, chilling, Price Smart, sports, the Blue Jays, BEYOND BELIEF, curses, paying her back if she paid by debit, my friends getting married and having kids, the lockout possibility, and more. She didn't mind if I stopped by Price Smart briefly to see if I could find stuff for my grandma! I didn't find the stuff, but still opted to chill for a bit back at Leslie's place. Conversed about new books, Uganda and Gay Pride, CRACKED articles, cash, Halloween and Christmas stuff in stores already, the guestbook, and more. I left an hour later at 10:30 - good times before my mom's family friends get into town, and I have to drive them everywhere! I'm sure I'll talk to her soon - we always do!

Spent time with Leslie (glowing_dragon) yesterday at her place: we watched the Canucks WIN 7-4 over the Washington Capitals, and had Pizza Hut. She didn't mind paying for half of it if I had to get gas on the way over, of course! We talked about friends, that asshole Paul, Jon / Harmony, God, Nathan, the movie about J. Edgar Hoover, personal stuff, CRACKED, weird things, and more. Thank goodness I was more healthy, haha!
