Trip Down to Iqaluit

We went down to Iqaluit yesterday - well not really, we actually went to downtown TO. It was one of funniest days I've had in a while - the sun, laughter, jokes &etc just made my day.

We started off on the subway where we somehow managed to miss our stop at Bloor (I think it was Bloor at least) so we just coasted our way to Union where we wandered around the Waterfront. Let's just say playing "I Spy" with K & J is pretty amusing. We also took pictures of things that looked like letters and the only thing we managed to spell was "Iqaluit" hence we now call downtown TO "Iqaluit". We had wanted to go on the tourist double decker buses and pretend to be a tourist rather than a native but there were no buses available yesterday as it was Good Friday - we would make rather awful Christians now that I think about it (I believe in God but I don't have a religion - kind of what Kierkegaard believes). Wish the bike rentals on the Island were open - would have loved to head there and just chill.

Onwards we trotted down Queen's Quay to Spadina to head to Chinatown so I could stop by one of my favourite Asian bakeries and buy some Napoleon for my mommy. After a pit stop to drop it off at my dad's - where he didn't recognize J at all - we continued onwards to Kensington Market. We didn't really chill out there - only store we went into was a hat store- but we did have dinner there. We stopped at this cute little cafe/diner restaurant for sandwiches, fries, and salad. The food wasn't bad - it was rather good considering where it was - the montreal smoked meat sandwich I had was pretty tasty, normally I hate mustard but it made the sandwich pretty good in my opinion. The fries were the homecut ones and yum:) they were good - felt guilty for eating all that grease though.

Onwards we caught the bus to end over to the streetcar stop on Spadina & Queens Quay to head over to the Rioch for the game. We were there rather early since we still needed to buy tickets and we were too tired to wander around the city anymore - was rather suprised by how many people were 1.5h early.

Section116 Row C - rather decent seats other than the fact we had some teenage kid 1-2 years younger than us who was such an attention whore sitting behind us - he was dancing really strangely when music came on, he kept commenting about J's phone, "the girl with the sunglasses on top of her head" (me), the game (he made mean & strange comments) and just a load of other stuff - it was REALLY annoying. He thought he was cool. yeah right. Duke the Dog - the mascot for the Marlies is such a perve, I thought he was cute so I asked for a photo. He was still cute when we took the photo and when he told me I was pretty in his dog sign language and when he hugged me but he became a perve in my eyes when he started to rub my back in a too friendly way - oh well. I guess as a dog he couldn't keep his paws to himself.

I'm just happy we didn't loose 0-7 this time but rather 3-1 (in favour of the Manitoba Moose). TO has great sport teams ! LOL. during the game some people actually stopped chanting "Let's go Marlies Let's Go" but started a new chant, "Let's Fire Eakins (the coach)". It was rather hilarious -to this I added Wilson of the Leafs should be fired too - that guy isn't the best coach from what I can see.

During the game, intermission we kept texting J's bf from her phone - making sexy, suggestive comments and he thought it was her the whole time. I feel bad now, we got him all excited for nothing - he has such a dirty mind! I felt even worst when I realized there was a cute little kid sitting behind us - he heard all our comments regarding sex, masturbation, ____jobs &etc.

I am very proud of myself - I didn't make any comments regarding how sexy the player's butts are - or how sexy their legs are - I find it funny how I have a "no athletes rule" yet I can't help but look - I have a strong butt/strong let fetish, nothing is sexier than strong muscular thighs. Though when #4 did the whole stretch thing with the stick behind his back I couldn't help but smirk a bit - but the stretch was kind of ruined by how pre game K was like #4 looks like a demon - he did with all his focus on the net. I think the people sitting next to us thought we were puck sluts b/c we were commenting on which guys were cute - they kept looking at us funny before moving away from us..

***Quotes of the Day***
-Death to the Douches (J's mom)
-Fire Eakins
-Something black & lacy
-Chocolate or Whipped Cream
-I spy with my eyes something that is brown (it turned out to be J's birthmark)

***still need to find some time to write my rant on Ann Coulter

***Delusional Leafs fan - you have to watch his video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doMV7KfJ7Cs- what a champ

I really need to get over it

Yeah more ranting about K (the partner who didn't do anything), so today V and I decided we would donante the left over stickers + beads from our project to the hospital b/c they are short on supplies - it's not like we're going to use them anyways. K asked if she could have them, I'm like err you didn't pay me for them and are you really going to make me sort stickers and beads into a 1:2 ratio? I don't have the time to do that not to mention when she asked if she could have them the way she asked was like could she have all of them. I mean it's like 6$ each person, is it really that hard to donate 6$ to make kids with cancer happy? If she was having money issues I wouldn't mind but I doubt she is and really, are you going to make me sort out stickers and beads when I don't even get 5h of sleep each night? She acts of if I'm rich and it's my duty to pay for everything, like I mentioned previously, my parents offered to pay for the food. K didn't thank my parents or show any gratiude - she acted as if it was my responsibility to pay for everything. Actually, at my house in my living, earlier on, when I said the cost of food must be split into 3 she asked "why?" and hinted or actually said that I should pay b/c I covered the section "La norriture d'Acadie" -I'm pretty sure she said I should pay but I can't remember so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she only asked "why?" Like are you serious? I'm not an ATM - haha now I know how my dad feels. I really really really need to get over this and move on, it's not healthy or productive for me - the way she treats me and the project itself was so stressful my running was horrible last week; at one pt. last week I felt like running was robotic for me and I no longer enjoy it....

However, now that the project is over and I no longer stress out during my runs I actually PR'ed today:) surprisingly, I felt like I was running slow but my final time for 11k was 47:58:38 - I think my long runs are a faster pace but I think my 11k base route has more hilly parts. I think this PR was due to my attire - I broke out the tshirt today. Ya, that's right, I wore shorts& tshirt (loving TO weather though I'm scared for the polar bears simply of all this global warming - it's not normal for Canada to be 3C in March - early Marc). It was kind of funny b/c I downloaded "I believe" and some stuff by Quebec artist, Marie-Mai and I was just belting out the lyrics and cars were driving slower as if they wanted to know if I was really wearing shorts & tshirt.

I'm so upset with myself, I got my ToK paper back today and I basically failed communication - 7.5/10. My knowledge was 18.5/20 so if you really think about it I got a 92.5% but lost the rest of the marks b/c I can't write properly - this really upsets me b/c I'm a predicted high 5 low 6 for IB HL English....I guess outside of English class I can't write or communicate my thoughts.

***
-Poni got traded for Caputi & 5th (well Caputi & some guy but that guy got traded for a 5th draft pick)
-Stemp. got traded for a 4th & 7th draft pick
-Joey Mac for 7th draft pick (personally I think he's worth more than a 7th)
will miss Poni the most.

IT band is tight but I think I did a 8k PR

IT band is tight, stretched it last night with some yoga poses and it helped alot but I'm still tight. I expected my run today to be horrible but it was pretty sweet - I think I pr'ed for 8k b/c I ran with the club until roughly 2.5k and my watch said it was 3:17, I finished my run (10-11k) at 3:48 hence 31min for that 8kish run. I'm pretty surprised since I took it pretty light today with my IT band tight and all. I need to get back on track with my running, took some days off last week b/c my IT band was tight and I just wasn't feeling well - need to get back to training with the Southlake Half less than 3 months away.

Leafs vs. Sharks tonight!
Kadri got called up as well as Stalberg & Deveaux - haha Deveaux, will never forget the mental harm I pressed to him - me still thinks he can't look at an Asian girl without flinching
Go Leafs Go!

**** 11:11 we lost tonight, good try boys
