smoke two joints in times of peace and two in times of war

i havent blogged in ages, it seems. Hmm. a ton have happened in the last couple days. weird weekend though. i'll tell you about Friday.

on 4/20, the gang and i (minus lara, who was away in victoria) went to the park in front of my house, ate food from town pantry, and lounged on the warm grass. then ester tried to "consuspiciously" smoke the pot but she failed to light up. rox and ester contemplated making special brownies. dara rode ester's bike.

the pot made my hands smell like dryer sheets. haha. anyway, i took this GREAT picture of ester and denise, in which they look like they are eating each other's faces. i will have to upload that later.

after we stuffed ourselves with food, dara denise & i took the bus to downtown to do some shopping... man. half the people on the bus were stoned. vancouver is so funnie. this dude sitting three seats away from us was rolling a joint, making casual conversation with anther dude. aha.

as expected, when we got to downtown, there was a smoky haze (haha i had to make the word "haze" purple) over the art gallery, where celebrating potheads sat on the steps, awaiting 4:20. we watched a bunch of guys playing drums and apparently the bagpipes as well, though the kilt-wearing guy didn't play the bagpipes when we were there.

we then took off to do some shopping splurge our asses off. i bought a black tank top with pop-arty designs in the front. it is a wicked shirt. credit denise cuz she made me try it on. i also got my ruffly black shoes for prom (hooray) and a pair of pinstriped pants for $15.

we went to this cramped japanese restraurant called Guu (on thurlow and robson). this place was AMAZING. i highly recommend if you ever visit vancouver/if you live in vancouver already, even. the chefs and waitresses pretty much don't speak a word of english (maybe except their Hai~~ greetings). there are open flambe's and the employees shout orders to each other in japanese.

Guu didn't sell conventional sushi but their food was ORGASMIQUE. ah ah ah. the three of us split five dishes, five pieces of art. there was this one appetizer, raw salmon mixed with raw quail egg, eaten with crackly rice cracker things. have noooo idea what it is called. anyway it was like bites of heaven. LOVELOVELOVE.

what did we do after Guu? the sun was still up by then (it was a lovely sunny day) and the air was warm. quote dara, "I LOVE TODAY!" we went to off the wall and tried on skinny jeans. i realized how fat i am. hahhaa. well i think that is all i can remember about friday.

ps. oh yes, one more thing. all the bus drivers musta been high or summat cuz all of them were cracking jokes. denise and i were bussing home and the bus driver said that he should've married me when i said "ive had enough shopping". interesting. also: "you know you've had too much to drink when someone offers you soup or sex, and you say, i'll take the soup." hahaha what the fuck.
