even after a crappy day at work and then a crappy afterwork (wherein i stopped at metrotown to pick up my jeans only to find i’d left my wallet at work), i managed to get myself together and get across the harbour to meet up with jen, tanya, vern, ritchie, colene, gill and nelson for dinner at aqua riva. unfortunately, gill was sick and left before the appetizers arrived, which was a total bummer (dude) because i was very much looking forward to talking about cats. all. night. long.
the meal was beautiful and delicious. i don’t often get out for fine dining in any sense of the phrase, so it was a real treat for me to go out to a restaurant that actually has a coat check and gives you TWO kinds of bread and spreads before your meal. the place was packed, but i scored the seat right by the window (sweet) so when they all started to bore me, i just watched the lights twinkle on the water.
of course, i’m kidding about that. the lights were glittering on the water. teehee.
i don’t know, i’d love to relate to you all the fun and funny conversations we had, but i don’t have that uncanny photographic memory for quoting people. the best i could do is paraphrase and, well, that never turns out well. besides, why try to reproduce such a great, lively, interesting evening out when we all have it in our memories? if you really wanted to share in it, you should have been there!
ritchie put up all the photos he we took with his adorable little camera. i think i like it, if only because it somehow made me look halfway decent (go canon go). although, i’m still not sure why colene wanted to lick my face.
p.s. my horoscope says:
Intimacy is the name of game now — and you, of course, being the emotional, sensitive creature that you are — won’t mind a bit. Since you’re so good at spoiling the ones you love, there’s an excellent chance that you won’t hear any arguments when you suggest to a certain someone that you two start the fun early. Especially since they’ve probably been waiting for you to make your move for some time now.
so, who’s been waiting and why haven’t you said anything?
p.p.s. i’ve decided on my designated crush for 2005. yay! new crush!
