   May 7th
OMG -BESTEST- day EVER!!

Alright, so I woke up really early this morning (okay okay 10 am lol) and got myself ready. Why you ask? QUIKSILVER DEMO TOUR in MARKHAM (with Momo!) So after "getting ready" picking up Momo, and driving all the way there, we got to the mall at about 1 pm. The intial plan was to go to the mall and chill there until 4 pm, when it started, but it was across the street so we could see, and by the looks of it, there were already TONS of people there.

So we ended up getting dropped off
at the park and having to find our own way around the crowds of people. We ended up finding a
nice little spot on the grass (which was fairly damp lmao) and sitting, while watching random
people try out the park for the first time (it was the grand opening). It took about 5 minutes to realize that it was the most beautiful day in the world and a ZILLION degrees outside, so we ended up taking off our top layers and just chilling in tanks for the whole afternoon. We ended up watching random people for a long time, including several VICIOUS product tosses (people throwing people out of the way and pushing them into the cement lol) until we decided to stop for a break across the street at the mall.

We walked "all the way" over. The main reason being we both had to
pee really really badly lol, and there were no facilities anywhere close lol. Also.. SHOPPING lol. So yeah we found the bathrooms after getting lost in the mall (for the record, I have never gotten lost in a mall before) bought some supplies, including mentos, sour patch kids, a mothers day card, and sun tan lotion lol) and bought something to drink from cinnabon (caramelatte for me) and bubble tease (I think strawberry bubble tea? for Momo). We then made our way back discussing random hot guys we had seen all day and crossed the street even though the light had an issue with turning green lol.

So we got back, and Momo was hungry, so there were these two old guys selling hot dogs and
she went to buy one. I held her stuff while she told the guy what she wanted, he started the bbq
and then began talking to his friend. I recognized what they were saying right away, even though they weren't talking in English. I had been to Switzerland and Germany a couple summers ago and learned basic German, so I could tell that's what they were talking in. So they laughed and were smiling and I was freaking out because they were perverts lmao.

So Momo gets her hot dog, I
give her her stuff, and we start walking, and then I lean into her and say "They're German. They're
speaking in German." And she was like "you can understand it?" And I was laughing and said "I can
understand that they think I'm hot and that they think we're lesbians." Which was ironic, because we went to a movie a couple months ago where we were the only straight people in there, and they also thought we were lesbian lmao. Which is weird because we are SOOOO not Lesbian. I mean, I love her, but not that way. I like boys. Very sexy boys. Very sexy boys like Dylan Rieder!

So yeah, we ended up finding a spot on the grass relatively close to where we were before and sat down and had our food <3 while talking about the REALLY HOT GUY sitting behind, and the REALLY HOT GUY sitting beside us lol. Then they had some more product tosses, and this really cool give away where they hid a deck in the park beside the skatepark and everyone had to line up in a line, and on the count of three they were supposed to run, and whoever found it first won. It was funny because nobody waited until three, and the announcer blamed it on the educational system lol.

So then we waited about another hour in the park, changing our spots frequently, and sitting
beside this REALLY hot guy who hurt his leg (and walked with a limp. My poor baby.) until the
riders in the demo arrived. We got an okay spot on the side of the course and I started taping,
until about 2 minutes in, my video camera gave way and died. Which was OKAY because I figured
this would happen, and I brought my digital camera too <3! So first we were looking around and
we were like "Oh! That's that guy." And we were taking random pictures and were like.. yeah...
this is okay... until Dylan Rieder showed up.

HE LOOKED NOTHING LIKE HE DID IN THE MAGAZINE. DYLAN RIEDER... DYLAN RIEDER IS FUCKING SEXY!!!!!!! So I dropped my camera (out of shock)and Maureen just looked at me, both of us with our jaws to the floor, and were like "SQUEEEEE!". From then on, I only took pictures of Dylan, and was obsessed with the sexy France-Native. Can you
say "Oooh la la! Cet homme est tres beaux! Et il y a avoir de beau coups!" Lol I'm sorry, that's the only thing I remembered from french class. Madame said that she marvels at the non speaking french person because they say things accidentally like they don't mean. Like if it's "beaucoup",
it means "a lot". But english people usually say "de beau coups" meaning a nice ass lol.

So yeah, I was like glued to him, but where we were sucked because he was on the other side, so I persuaded Momo to move to the other side, where we got a really great spot, met some of the guys, gave them high fives, and took some great photos! But I was still sad because Dylan was always on the other edge of the bowl ( U <-- the shape of the ramp, we were on the left, he was on the right)so I persuaded Momo to move again

(1: because he's sexy,
2: because some guys were landing
some REALLY awesome tricks) and we got THE BEST SPOT EVER right behind every single one
of the guys who had just come up from the bowl.

Like they were 12 inches away from my face.This way, we high fived a lot more guys, had tiny conversations, and took AWESOME AWESOME shots, especially of Alex Chalmers, who got some CRAZY air right.. I guess you could say... above us?

But the best part? Dylan Rieder right in front of me with his I-pod and gorgeous self and smile.
Momo poked me, and we just STARED. And I mean STARED. Like if you saw us, you'd probably
be scared. He caught us staring a couple of times that day, but probably didn't mind all that much. I LOVE YOU, DYLAN!

But poor Dyaln! He was the baby of the tour (younger than all of them by about 10 years) so he was getting poked fun at all the time. They were saying how whatever he was listening to on his I-Pod was probably the teletubbies, (and they did a REALLY GREAT impersonation of the
teletubbies) and if he wanted to cry, the announcer would hold him and be like "shh. *hugs* I'm here. I love you" XD I just think that's great. I also think I would have ODNE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD FOR THAT JOB. Ooh, and they were saying that he had a real fake id but he looked so young that they wouldn't let him into hooters lol. I think they were just joking though, because they explained their adventures at McDonalds during the afternoon.

So after all the great skating, the announcer said in about 20 minutes there'd be an autograph session. I didn't have anything to get signed, but my friend PAtirck hgad a skate mag he wanted signed, so I went to get that signed and find something for me to get signed. So we went to the w-49 booth hoping for free posters, but they didn't have any, so I brought my bag.. and as far as I knew, they were gonna be signing my math book. But then we noticed that people were starting to get in line, so we just went to the line instead of finding something for me to get signed. Thankfully, they ended up getting a lot more posters, and they gave me one so I could get it signed by the guys, who had just come out of their tour bus (a sexy one, by the way).

I was all giggly, because I had a special plan for Dylan. DP has always said that whenever I like a guy, I should ask him to have my children lol. So what I did was I bought a bag of sour patch kids, and was going to go "Do you want to have children with me?" and then a couple seconds later show him the sour patch kids if he was confused lol.

But there was a small small problem. When I got to him, he was even gorgeouser up close, and I lost all word and thought in my brain. Maureen said he asked me some questions. I vaguely saw his mouth move, so I was like "yeah, uhuh.. suuure *smile smile smile* *bats eyelashes* I had no i dea what he said. You know that feeling where everything shuts down and you can like hear the blood in your brain? (weird I know lol) Well that's what it was like lol.

I ended up having to ask Maureen after we left what he had said, and what I had stupidly replied. She told me that he had asked how I liked the demo, how I was, and all those good questions. But before that, had given me a once over and smiled at me. I think she was joking though, because I am not worthy of SEXY!!boys like Dylan lol. I have to admit though that we just kind of stared at eachother, me because he was HOT, and he because he probably couldn't understand why I was answering random things lol. But I do have to admit he was very unusally nice to me (from what I could tell) and was very smiley...

So yeah, I got all my stuff signed, including Patrick's article. All the guys loved it. They ended up flipping through and reading the magazine, and even drawing mustaches and little pictures in it. I love those guys sooo much. They are soo great and absolutely made my day.

So the demo was over, and Momo and I were all SQUUEEE!!!OMG!!ONE!!ELEVEN!!!1!!1111!!! lol because Dylan was so pretty. So we waited for our parents, my mom came earlier, so we explained her all our squeeeness. Then Momo's mom came, and we started to leave, WHEN...:

DYLAN RIEDER. AT INTERSECTION. CROSSING STREET. RIGHT INFRONT OF "PARKED" CAR AT A RED LIGHT.

I almost died. I stared at him from out of the window, and he must have seen me, because he waved <333333333 And I waved back, and finally, after being so depressed after not saying anything, I suddenly "found my voice" lmao.

Since the light was still red and he was crossing the street on his board, I started talking to him. We had a really cute, short conversation, which was interrupted by the honking of the cars behind us, because the light had turned green. You know what? I didn't care. My mom turned the corner and we finished our conversation.

It was mostly about the dmeo, but he did ask me about my plan, because apparently he had overheard it, and was a bit disappointed because he thought it was 'really cute'. He also asked me my name, because I was an idiot and never gave it. And he smiled his million dollar smile and said" "Stephanie? What a pretty name." He then told me that he was making a trip to the dairy queen around the corner, and told me to have a nice day.

CAN YOU SAY BEST DAY OF MY FEEBLE EXISTANCE? DUDE!

Lol so yeah, it was a great day, got lots of stuff, and shots, so I'll post them when Momo gets 'em ready (as usual).

LOVE AND PEACE!

So here are the pictures. The first ones are of a boho themed improfessional photoshoot for
a friend's portfolio. Yeah. Winter just ended here. That's why my legs are totally out of shape lmao.
Now that summer is here, I can get back to working out, sunshine, and doing a lot of outside
activities so that they won't look like -that- lmao.










ALRIGHT! NOW TO THE SKATE PICS:
