Sunday was a Good Day
So, Sunday was a good day... but first things first. I got the volunteer position at Victoria... yay! I'll be volunteering in the Dialysis Unit... basically talking to strangers for my shift. But I'm kinda looking forward to it... it'll be very different from what I'm used to, and that's a good thing. Stretching your boundaries occasionally... a very good thing.
Anyway, so Sunday... I talked to Bonnie for the first time in almost a month... and that was nice. I was in a good mood when she called, which is good... I hate when I'm depressed or upset when she calls because then I'm just a snot on the phone. We swapped stories, compared notes... she is feeling this deep need for solitude right now because she's always surrounded by people, whereas I'm feeling a pretty deep need for company because I'm always alone. We're sorta living each-other's ideal life to an extent... but whatever. I think she's where she needs to be, and she sounds healthy (I mean, relative to her) and happy. She mentioned that she might come on September 1st to hang out with my buddies and I... that'd be awesome! She also invited me to crash at her place that Friday night... can we say "tempted"? Yeah. I'll have to think about that...
Anyway, so then after talkin' to Bon (and buoyed by my resulting good mood), I went to go draw at my coffee shop downtown (Symposium)... but since the waitresses I know weren't working, I decided to try Williams just for a change of pace... a good call on my part! After a couple hours, this girl just comes over, sits down next to me and asks to see my drawings! I'm like... "You know they're crappy, right?" but she doesn't care... flips through them while talking about a friend of hers, an artist, who recently discovered that he loves drawing people in coffee shops and because they had talked about it just recently, she took it as a sign to talk to me. It was utterly random, but still very pleasant... I invited her out for dinner (apparently everything is closed on Sunday nights in downtown London... what kinda dead-beat town is this??), and we talked about just about everything... very pleasant change of pace, I must say.
Now, she was very clear she was only interested in being friends (at the end of the night she mentioned her boyfriend, so there was no uncertainty there), but that's okay... I really don't have a lot of friends in London, and she seems really kosher. And besides... it was fun! I think I'm hangin' out in Williams more often.
Then I went home (riding home in the dark? NOT fun), played BF2 with my brother for an hour or so, MSNed with Gabe for a little while, and watched a few episodes of Gankatsuou (so far an excellent little anime... based on the Count of Monte Cristo). All in all... a very good day.
