Headbutts are love . . .
Woke up and drove downtown yesterday. I'm not a big fan of driving downtown. I am a big fan of meeting myOers, though, and there was one waiting at a skytrain station downtown yesterday. It worked itself out, I suppose.
Sooooo . . . . . yes, I have had the pleasure of meeting Enin in person yesterday. Heh . . . first glimpse I had of him was his squinting as he came up an escalator with a cell phone against his head. Good times . . .
After that weird bit, Enin, his sister and I all went down to Vancouver's 4th Avenue, which is good for shopping. Of course, nothing's open at 10am in the morning, so we ended up having brunch at some vegetarian juice place - not so much that we felt like having vegetarian food, but it was open and we were standing right in front of it at the time (my moment of being decisive, I'll take responsibility). We were all perhaps a little quiet, but it was fine.
Eventually the stores opened and we all walked around a bit - they were trying to find a birthday present for that cousin of theirs. In any case, they bought a ton of music for themselves at "Zulu Records" (which Enin fell in love with), and then . . . we had a fun moment in this fancy chocolate store. Something about a chocolate bone as a gift . . . . . it would have been in bad taste, anyway . . .
After all that, I took the two of them to UBC with me (I had class that day). We walked around the northern tip of the campus mostly, like the Rose Garden, the Chan Centre for Performing Arts, and eventually the Nitobe Japanese Garden (which they also quite loved). Unfortunately the tour was cut short before we could get into it further, being that their family had arrived to pick them up.
That said, I got to meet the man's father. Very jolly man who I would totally expect to have a great sense of humour (though from what Enin tells us I'm not surprised). But yeah, also a shame I didn't get to hang out with him either . . .
Then came the payoff . . . . we were all saying our gooodbyes since most likely we wouldn't see each other again while they were still in town this week . . . so yeah, we did the whole "good to see ya, hope to come back soon" deal, hand shake . . . . .
. . . . . and then I pulled the Josh-man in and headbutted him. Not too hard, but about medium. Hard enough, we'll say.
Let me fill you in about that . . . . so y'know how when he recently got all mopey and starving-like earlier this year? I'm powerfully unimpressed whenever he does that. I'm not saying that I don't appreciate his situation, but I truly expect so much more from that boy, y'know? Maybe I'm still missing a lot of the story (well, I know I am, duh), but damn . . . like I said, he's better than that whole not eating bit . . . . . so yeah, I said I was gonna headbutt him for being so stupid about it.
ALSO . . . . . good close friend to all of us also had a bit of a chat with him while he was in his starving mopey mood to cheer him up. This friend felt she had done a lot of good for him. He in fact said she had done a lot of good for him that night, even referring to her as "my wonderful drug/medicine" or something. She felt good to be able to help the guy.
Then he posted about how all the talks made him feel "a little" better, and that he still wasn't eating . . . . . well, said-friend did not take to being stepped on so lightly, in her words. I promised her I'd headbutt him for her.
Which brings us to yesterday. Kapow. I tried to be nice about it, though, and aimed for his forehead which would protect him better than say, his nose (apparently I nailed him in the brow, so it was close). Anyway, I told him that that one was for said friend . . . . . and then as I saw him reeling in agony still, I just didn't have the heart to give him another. ". . . and for me," I tagged on quickly while he kept wobbling back and forth next to the van. His sister thought it was funny, in any case . . . and I explained to his dad that he did indeed have it coming - he laughed about it too, though I wonder if he even knew that I had just headbutted his son . . . . . ah well.
So yes. We're square with him now. All good.
That good for you, dahlin'? 'Cause he did seem to be in a decent amount of pain . . . heh. So yeah, he knows that was for you . . .
[EDIT:] The flu . . . possibly getting better. This morning the . . . stuff, is still coming out like mud, but at least it doesn't hurt anymore . . . I suppose . . . . . we'll see tomorrow.
