Eventful night?

Last evening, I was hanging out with my friend from high school, Katherine, and we had dinner at Milestone's only to run into 3 other people we knew from high school that worked there!! After, we walked down Robson Street, I suggested True Confections, and I knew Katherine would say yes to cheesecake and cake!! She had Lemon Heaven, I had a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. Anyway, after that, we walked down Denman and went to English Bay and sat down on a log for a bit. We chat, and then find that these people were looking at this tree behind us that had a HERON on it, and it had just dropped a wet bomb on the path below. Do herons usually hang out on tree tops?

So while we're looking in that direction, these two men - maybe about 30yrs old? - come up to us and ask "Do you know what kind of bird that is?". Well, that just started a whole line up of conversation that we did not anticipate to have with them. Basically, they wanted to take us out for a coffee, and they were wondering why we weren't out going to a night club (as it was a Saturday night). We had a feeling they wanted to take us out to a night club. Well, they continued to ask us more questions, like: "Are you guys best friends?... Oh, take the best friend quiz!!... Which one is the 'good' one, which is the 'bad' one?..."... and then they proceeded to sit down on either side of us.

Aw, crap.

Not that they were... creepy... or anything, it was that they were both quite talkative and interested in knowing more about us and seemed to want to take us both out. I kept slipping into the conversation I had with one guy that I had a boyfriend, and Katherine had to come up with the excuse that she had "a boyfriend" with the other guy she was talking to. They were both very talkative and really wanted to take us out for a coffee, but they finally took a hint and I think after half an hour.. or something... they finally left. I don't know what their real incentive was; they could have been two guys just wanting to make friendly conversation, or wanting much more... but that was interesting, kind of awkward, and very random. One of them even called himself charming.

The hunt begins...

To start off on a sad note, my dearest Daniel has left :'( He has gone back home to Switzerland after spending three-and-a-half weeks here in Vancouver with me. I am sad that he's gone, but it's part of life, and it's part of how we chose to do things, and part of being together yet apart. Well, that just means that next time, I'll be heading over to Switzerland :)! The past few weeks involved a lot of walking and a lot of Vancouver. I have now fallen in love with the Drive, and have renewed my love for old films, antique stores, Wonderbucks, and painting. I hope to learn oil painting this summer with a family friend of Daniel's, and I want to get back into dance and ballet.

Just living the Vancity life while getting back that summer skin.

Anyway, now it's hot as heck, and I'm on the hunt for a job! Summer school starts in a couple of weeks, I'll be continuing German, and I already have e-mails from my instructor. I'm hoping to just work work work and earn some money while improving my German this summer. No big plans - it'll be low-key for the next three months, but it'll be nice.
Hope you guys are staying cool, wherever you may be and whatever you may be doing :)
