The Birds And The Bees

Spring is here, the air is getting warmer, the grass greener, the flowers budding, the urge to reproduce increasing...
There's something in the air that seems to make all the young couples surface and go all lovey dovey.. I can't throw a rock without hitting a relationship! Everywhere I look I find a pair of lovers out in the sunshine making eyes at each other. I'm trying not to be negative about it, maybe it's the nice weather, but I've got a couple of silly crushes so I'm trying to maintain an attitude of hope and not one of dispair. Which is why I'm now going to force myself not to gripe about the situation. We'll see how long it lasts!

Some take it a little too far maybe, like on Friday the couple that sat in our quad passionately making out for.. I don't know when they started, but it went for over an hour at least. We all lined up at the window to watch and laugh at them, as did some people in rooms across the quad, quite the show.. he definately had his hand right up her skirt and it was definately vigorously moving. A bit much guys.. I mean if exhibitionism floats your boat.. GO DO IT IN SOMEONE ELSE'S QUAD!! Hah.. I don't actually think they go to this residence.

After our SCP rehearsal on Friday, I fought with the photocopiers at Robarts (I swear to god, they exist only to make my existance more difficult) and then I got a phone call from a guy from the HHSB that I've met and talked to all of ONCE.. he wanted me to go play pool.. and despite my reclusive impulse, I went. It was actually kind of fun, we went to Cat's Eye, I beat him 3 games to 1 in pool and he made me look like a fool on that arcade dance thingy. I can see him being the type of person I'd hang out with maybe. (Not more than friends by any stretch of the imagination though.)

Saturday was Anton and I's last dancing lesson of the semester *tear* I'm gonna miss it for sure.. Saturday is just going to feel so empty without any jiving, waltzing, or cha-cha'ing! If he comes back next year we are SO taking Ballroom Level 2.. if not, I'll have to find me a new partner :(

Afterwards I went home for my mom's 50th birthday party! Lots of old-ish people that I didn't know.. but it was really nice to see some people, like my aunt and uncle, I wish they were my parents, I love them so much, my aunt and I both have the most retarded sense of humour, so we just laugh and laugh and laugh! An Austin Powers impersonator was hired! How hilarious is that? Though I'll never rid my mind of the image of my 85 year old Oma bouncing on "Austin Powers"'s knee saying "giddy-up horsie, giddy-up horsie" hahahaha *cough* Then again, not gonna lie, I got far too drunk for what is family-party appropriate. Because of it, I had a really hilarious good time, I just hope I didn't make an ass of myself! Not in front of any adults anyway. Do you know what's amazing? I was too drunk to go and blaze with Chris so he gave me the weed for later! What a sweet deal! This may indeed make the next couple of weeks easier. I've had a lot of trouble sleeping the past few nights, shouldn't be a problem anymore.

After people left, I wanted to try a brownie, because they looked so good. They had walnuts in them. I checked the charts, nope not allergic to walnuts. Nonetheless I cautiously broke little bits off with my fingers so that I wouldn't eat anything that had touched a walnut. And you know what? My mouth got really terrifyingly itchy. It very much freaked me out. But it just itched and I didn't stop breathing or go into anaphylactic shock or anything serious (thank god). A few glasses of milk and a dose of Benadryl later, I was ok. So apparently I AM allergic to walnuts.. fuck.

Today at TYWO I was talking with Laura (bass clarinet) and.. we realized that we're both looking for someone to rent an apartment with and in the exact same area.. OMFG! Do you have ANY idea how much easier this makes life? I really quite like Laura, I mean, who else would alternately bob up and down while playing a note on the clarinet with me! So, now I'm kind of hoping that I don't get re-admitted to residence, because if I do.. it's going to be a hard choice to make.
