An.. interesting night
Well. My night went oddly.

Good, in some respects, but awful in others.

It started with us going to Pagliachi's. I thought this was a pizza place, but it turned out to be one of those overpriced restauraunts where you can't get a normal amount of food no matter how hard you try. It turns out my group was late for their reservation; we were supposed to be there at 5:30, but we got there at six.

Anyway. The waitresses were scary and cranky, I didn't get any refills on my coffee, they rushed us to order, and they gave us our bill before we were even finished eating. I ordered something I'd never had before, and it was really spicy. Nasty stuff. The only spicy stuff I like are wasabi peas.

Luke was a bit weird all night. I don't know why.

I gave him ten dollars to cover myself (I wanted to pay my way) and the total bill for both of us was 12 dollars. This means it only cost me six, not ten. He didn't offer to give me the rest back. I don't wanna bug him about it.

After, he dragged me down the waterfront (and I mean dragged; I stopped to watch a street performer, try to enjoy the fact that it was a holiday and what not..), to avoid tourists and the huge groups of people. We met Taber, and he said we were supposed to meet at the big tree at the Parliament building. When I turned around, Luke wasn't there anymore. Taber and I had no idea what tree was being referred to. We wouldn't have even seen it, but Bonnie was there.

I went back, and I tried to tell him I was upset. He shrugged it off. Like I said, weird mood. I didn't know what to do, and fucking Alex was there, and I can't stand Alex, because she's really weird, and she's literally a crackhead (which doesn't mean I'm judgemental. But she's also pregnant, and she's not exactly kind) so I went to walk back to find Terri. Terri's a good friend of mine.

So I cried to her about it. I think I was more upset because Luke hadn't listened to me about it. Went back to talk to Luke again, or at least try, and I receieved the same apathy as before.

So I sat beside him and cried while he sang songs to commemerate Canada day. He completely ignored me. Acted like nothing was happening.

I was really hurt. It wasn't even the events anymore, it was just that Luke was cross with me. So I stood to leave.

And I walked away. And the only person who followed was Terri.

Luke just stayed there. He just let me go. I still don't know what the hell this means. Or how I was supposed to take it.

I met Amber Hana then, and we went downtown for coffee. Scott's was closed, so we went to 7-11. We walked around. It's unusual to talk to a lesbian about male problems, but Amber listened. Terri was there too. They were awesome.

When we got back, Luke had left. He's at work now, and I'm mad he left early. But I guess I wasn't there anyway. I'm sure this is somehow partially my fault, but I don't know why.

The fireworks were spectacular. They played music. We danced. It was absolutely spectacular. A man ran down the street with a flag strapped to his back, claiming to be 'Captain Canada'. He tried to fly and nearly killed himself.

It was funny, though.

Later, once we found Adrian to give him back the trenchcoat he'd leant us (I have no idea why I didn't bring mine. It was stupid.), Amber, Paul and I went to go back.

We stopped to go to the bathroom at a coffee shop. I bought us all coffee. Again.

Partway downtown, near the Bank of Montreal, a group of people in a car honked at us at an intersection. The people inside called one of us a cunt, and a few other colourful things. One of them gave us the finger.
I didn't even really think about it; I threw my cup of coffee in their window. It exploded all over everyone.

It was half full too.

I probably didn't handle it well, but it seemed right at the time. Weird, though, I don't normally do shit like that, and I didn't even think about it.

To be honest, I thought it was hella funny. I stood there a minute, completely bewhildered at what I did. I realised that Paul and Amber were running. I didn't know why, the people we drenched seemed to stunned to do anything about it. But I chased them anyway. Amber congratulated me.

Her mom drove us home once we walked her to her house, and here we are. It started bad, but ended good. I just hope Luke isn't still cross.

As revenge, I leave dishes.

Mwahaha.

.. well. Thats it. Happy Canada day.
