Fan Expo
Well, the long weekend has come and gone. I spent the majority of it in Toronto... good times for the most part. The Ex was fun... won $10 at blackjack, another $25 in this Global Prison-Break game thing, and spent about that much on food and games. Overall, I call it a win... and Dave and Chantal seem really happy together (they've only been dating for 2 months, but still... they make a sweet couple). Did a lot of walking... was a bit sore by the end of the day, but we're still chalking it up to a win.
The Fan Expo on Saturday, though... that was awesome. I spent WAY too much money (about... well, $200 all told), but got a lot of nifty stuff... books and sketchbooks and posters and a few manga... which reminds me I need to buy tacmac so I can stick some of 'em on my walls! I wish I had more time... I was only there for 6 hours or so before I had to head out to dinner.
And dinner was... good. The food was great (Astoria in Toronto... perhaps my favourite Greek restaurant ever), Bonnie and Harry were good company... I suspect heavily that Harry has a thing for Bon, though. I could be wrong (Harry is remarkably hard to read), but I don't think I am... and they'd make a good couple, I think. But it did leave me feeling very lonely... you'd think after all this time that I'd be completely over Bon, and yet, here we are...
[sigh]
Ah well. Talked to Margaret twice... once at a normal time, and again this morning at way-too-early o'clock (it was only about 6:45am... but it FELT early). I think she's taking the move pretty hard... she probably feels about as lonely as I do, poor thing. But she starts her Master's degree today, so I think she'll probably start meeting new people and getting a wider group of friends. She's told me that she loves me like... three or four times in the last week (including e-mails)... it's kinda nice to hear, but it always leaves me worried. I mean, she really shouldn't love me... I didn't do anything particularly good to her, and I certainly can't say I love her back (although, in all honesty, I can't say it to anyone, really, so that's no surprise). I just hope she's happy... well, that she becomes happier, I suppose. And that she meets somebody that can and will love her back as she deserves. Until then, I'll put up with the early morning calls!
Speaking of calls, spoke with Andy last night as well... apparently she had fun in Montreal, which is good. Hopefully we'll get together tomorrow... and then I have that interview on Thursday morning (yeah, lookin' forward to that like a hole in the head). But it'll be nice to chill with Andy again... she WANTS to learn how to play DDR, so that's very cool. I'll have to clean the place up a bit (maybe finally vacuum it this time!), and maybe thaw that duck... hmmm... if I start marinating it tomorrow morning, it'll probably have enough time... or, alternatively... I could start marinating it while it's still frozen, but I don't know how well that'd work. Or maybe thaw it in the microwave, and THEN marinate... that's probably the best bet, actually. I'll have to check the manual... I doubt frozen duck is common enough to warrent a button on my microwave!
