What I've Done for Fun

My friend K has been a big lifesaver so far. Every other Saturday or so, he takes me out. I've met some of his friends and they're all really nice. The first night out was pretty terrible, but the second time (I feel like I've already said this, so I won't say much about it) was pretty fun. We went clubbing with 3 of his other friends for a birthday. This was the first time I've really enjoyed going to a club. Me and the girls seemed to click pretty well.

A few weeks ago we went to dinner and then to another club with B and her boyfriend. This was pretty interesting. There were fire dancers!

Her partner came on first (you can see him in the corner) and was throwing short-chained fire balls around and very close to himself. She just put out the fire wads with her mouth. You know. No big deal.

Then they came out on stilts dressed in fairy costumes.


This weekend was good. Well, last night more specifically. K and B's friend was in a band that was playing at the Hard Rock Cafe. We went. There were lots of people there! Quite a few I've met before but never sat down with, and even some I just met that night that were really nice. The band was "Oceanics", a local punk-rock band, so it was fun, but I wasn't feeling dancing to it, so I stayed behind with these people i wasn't familiar with and chatted most of the time. Just had fun.

So good times to be had! Perhaps the highlight though, was after K picked me up and before we went to the Cafe, we parked in front of this thing:

Except, it was at night and this was lit up the colours of the rainbow. I asked: "What the heck is that?" "Oh, that's the Vomatron. B tried to get me to go on it with her but I chickened out. ..... Hey, wanna do something spontaneous?"

So yes, we went on the Vomatron. The girl who was working it was from Toronto, so we bonded :P

This ride is pretty crazy. You can youtube it, I think. It spins, forward and backward. I was freaking out at first because I haven't been on a ride since last summer. Turns out it was ridiculously fun! Actually quite refreshing and invigorating. When it went backwards, we had the opportunity of facing the ground as it was coming at us and then being flipped around. This made me want to go Skydiving. (No, I'm not kidding!)

However, right behind it is the slingshot. You've got to know what that is just by the name. That may take a little more convincing from K. But I wouldn't be surprised if I went on that, too, in the next few months. 

Well anyway, today is Mother's day and I'm just chillin' out in my room. Hope you've had a great weekend!
