Canada you beautiful neighbor upstairs if I would have known you were so kind and loving I would have moved here forever ago.
I am at a loss for words tonight. We
got to Vancouver today and ran around here and there, but the weather
moved in and we couldn't go out and do what we had wanted to. So it
looked like we were going to stay in and go to bed early.
Wait a sec, we are in Vancouver
Frickin' Canada eh! Why in the world would you want to stay in when
you could go out and see this beautiful city at night!
PROBLEM: no car, no cash.
SOLUTION: walk/dance/moonwalk etc...
So I sort of just picked a direction
and started walking [I didn't take the camera because it was raining
and the camera is worth more than I am, sorry for the lack of
pictures] I didn't have a plan so I thought about it as I was walking
and decided that I was going to make a new friend. The Lions Gate
Bridge caught my eye and I decided that I was going to walk over and
look at the cityscape from above. WHAT A FANTASTIC IDEA!
I made my way to the bridge and started
walking across, I sort of got distracted singing and dancing because
I was in that kind of a mood, on top of that, the lights on the
bridge were SUPER NEATO so I wasn't exactly paying attention and I
walked straight into this girl [hell of an introduction eh?] walked
isn't the right word, it was more of a
spin-stumble-headbut-fallontheground sort of thing. A happy little bump I think
is the word I'm looking for. Before I could rush out my apology this
girl was laughing her little butt off, and before I knew it, so was
I.
I introduced myself and she introduced
herself and we started talking. She is an artist who lives here and
comes to the bridge for inspiration. I am an unobservant tourist who
sings off key and knocks people down, but she was wearing headphones
so she couldn't hear me! [or so she said, but I was singing pretty loud!]
We stood there on the bridge and talked
for what seemed like forever. She told me her life story, I told her
mine. We had a mini air guitar jam session because she is awesome. We
both agreed that life was beautiful and that things like this happen
for a reason. It started raining gigantic rain [a bug's life style]
and she said she had to leave. Before she left, she reached into her
bag and pulled out a towel for me to walk home in so the rain wasn't
so cold, turned around, and just as soon as she came into my life,
she was gone.
“Life is what you make of it”
Parting words I'll never forget. I walked skipped danced and sang my
way back to the hotel where Jackson an Merian were crashed out.
PERFECT EXAMPLE. I could have stayed in and gone to sleep, but I
didn't, and I made a new friend because of it.
Tomorrow I am going to check out a
place called Mean Poutine *sp? She says it's the best poutine in
town, and I have no reason to believe otherwise.
Jenni if you ever end up reading this I
just want to thank you again for such a wonderful night. If you ever
visit the states Ill take you out anytime! [just email me]
Cheers!
