Best Birthday of my Life
OKAY!
So my birthday was AAAAAWESOME, HUUUUUGE.
I'll start from the beginning.
we got to Vancouver about 3:00 and checked in at the Sheriden, for some strange reason dad made me wait in the car while he got the room keys for a rather long time...a valai parking guy nearly tried to drive away with me...XD
anyways we find out room on the 18th floor room 1805. My ears totally popped in the elevator, in the hall was a mirror that told you what the weather was. I STARED IN APPRECIATION AT THE THING FOR 30 MINUTES. XD
We get into the suite...and DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN, it had a long halways D: LOOOONG and original art work along it and everything.
there were 2 bed rooms, one that was open and had a queen sized bed...NEXT TO A FREAKING PILLAR and surrounded by windows and in front was the sitting area and t.v (score)
Dad got the seperate closed off room (so nice of him :D) AWESOME BATHROOM...godly...shrine worthy. The tub, don't get me started on the tub...WHICH I DIDENT HAVE TO CLEAN! They have people to do that for you =o
I had descided then and there that I wasent gonna do that thing I do when I worry about everything and everyone but myself and let loose.
It was hard at first.
Then dad and I went shopping...0-0...it made me love shopping...I was never a big fan...but walking down main street...and all the shiny fashions and stores...wow...i felt like such a country hick...and i'm not XD
It was rainy so down the marble tiled sidewalk we trudged, me with my mickey mouse umbrella and wide eyed amazment.
Dad insisted on buying me a coat...and here comes that "thinking of everything but myself thing" again.
I feel uncomfortable when people buy things for me. And when ever I see things that arent on sale D: I can't help it, its instinct.
AND THIS WAS DOWN TOWN...where theres nothing under $49.
we went from store to store looking around (THE HMV HAS 3 STORIES)
After searching through about 5 stores for a "nice spring jacket" (dads words) I finally felt comfortable and loose and let compromised with myself.
I'd let him buy me a jacket, but i would let him pick what he would love to see me in (which is usually the opposite to my usual style, i knew it would be something white)
We found it in roots, I wasent thrilled about it at first cause it REALLY wasent something i would wear. But...when i put it on later that day...I fell in love....the inside is a fancy spiral flower like fleur de whatever thing that I actually really like now and its a white hoodie...SO COMFY but expensive! $98!. Even got a red roots lanyard :D so we would get a discount XD
Anyways we got some chocolate from godiva (5 bucks for a peanut butter cup D:...how dare they not have coconut clusters!)
Then we went into an erbal place and found this tea I LOVE but is really hard to find (called Oolong) then off to chapters where I got the book "Grace O'mally Pirate Queen".
By now I was filled to the brim with happyness all worrys of this being awkward with dad looong gone. I really changed allot since the days when beth lived at home and I has the scorge of the family. I think dad was happy to.
one of my favourate parts was going into the book store. My book was on sale for 4.99 ^^; old dog new tricks right? dads was a little more expensive and very illusive.
Its called "IWozz" the documentary about Steve Wozzniak inventor of the macintosh system.
He was quoting it as soon as he opened the thing XD
We walked along saw a guy selling roasted walnuts from a cart (very new york), went into more stores and stopped to look at the old court house and went to see if the Dali exhibit was in the museum yet (it wasent)
then ran for the nearest dollar store because dad needed one more bag for gift wrapping (which he meant to pick up at chapters) let me pick out my own (green plaid) and then we went back to that wonderful wonderful hotel room. With that amazing queen sized bed that was alllll miiiiiine!
I slipped on my new jacket and we went down to the hotel restaurant called "Indigo"
If there was ever an eatery suited for me...it was there!
COLORS! SO MANY COLORS red, blue, purples...everything...0-0...should have taken pictures.
And it geets better..ROLL! THEY BROUGHT ROLLS!
I havent had any bread since may because of my diet! and GOD it was good...hadent even eaten yet and i was satisfied.
Came with a little dish with butter, vinigar and olive oil to dip and the BEST olive spread in the world..and I hate olives 0-0.
Dad ordered fish and myself being a vegitarean had a caesar salad and the mushroom risotto...I had never had it before but saw it allot on "Hells Kitchen". AMAZING, damn I missed eating carbs XD
Dad tried it to and concurred over its amazingness.
but still....ROLLS....-drewls-
Went back up to the room...stared at the weather mirror some more.
Dad then proceded to take pictures of me everywhere I went in our room. (had to shove him away from the bathroom).
The sun had set and wow lights coming from every window. The city was so pretty and I could lie in bed and stare at it forever :)
Then I found out why dad had taken so long to check us in...ROOM SERVICE.
CAKE!!!
No, not cake....the room service guy came in carrying two silver trays put them on the coffee table and when dad lifted up the fancy lids over the mystery meal I nearly died.
CHOCOLATE SOUFLE' WITH CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM and ice water (which was much needed after all that choco)
It also came with kiwi and strawberrys. I will dream about this dessert for years...god I love kiwi.
The out side was wonderfully crispy and the inside was nothing but a flow of warm home made liquid chocolate which i dipped the kiwi and strawberrys in...AAAAAWRGH. And to top it all off it turns out the desk guy dad had talked to about the cake while he checked in...had given it given it to us for free...AND customised it with the chocolate icecream :D and kiwi.
Then we opened presents :)
This year I dident get random lamps and clocks.
This year was truley a great hall! $150 in all from various relatives (still waiting on some cards) a money counter :D (i like money) from grands F and N. 2 books from beth (memoirs of a geisha and the dictionary encyclopedia of superstitions) and no sugar junior mints and gum AWESOME. 19 scratchcards from matt (won 6 bucks) A Homer and Plopper talking statue (yet to have batterys for no idea what it says) and the new I-pod nano baby blue (whom I named fluffy) From dad <3 <3 <3 on top of all the stuff he had bought me that day ;.; <3 <3 <3 I'm totally not worth it.
Then we turned on the t.v and got an in room movie "Pirates of the caribean 3" which i had been dying to see.
We made some of my tea and sat back till dad couldent wait any longer to read his book and have a bath so I sat enjoying the movie (and my money) alone watching the city lights.
I know this is long and yes there is MUCH more but please bare with me ;D
I had a rather restless night. I was unable to sleep, and I'm a really good sleeper...champion if I may be so bold ;D...I can usually only not sleep when something bads happend. Something had...the worst...but we'll get to that later.
Next morning I got up, and dad had gone down to see if the restaurant was still serving breakfast at 10.
Had the best shower EEEEEEEEEEVER (I want to steal that tub)
Got dressed, put on my jacket (which by now had turned into my baby)
and we went down to the large room where they held the buffet...we descided not to order the buffet instead we had eggs.
THEY HAD A HEALTHY OPTION FOR PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT CHOLESTEROL! IT WAS VEGITAREAN (thrill thrill)....-drewls- english muffin....wheeeeeeeat.
We were talking while waiting for our orders...about the buffet...by now it was over and people were leaving (there were a few stragglers but i think we were the last breakfasts to be served that day)
our waiter heard us and thought we wanted to change our order to the buffet (when really to our embarassment we were putting it down for its horrible prices)
Dad made up the excuse that everything was covered and they were most likely done anyways.
The guy began to go on about yes its done but its all going to be thrown out anyways so go ahead and help yourself FOR FREE. So dad not wanting to be impolite and rather thankful to the waiter got up and got me...KIWIS oh glorious kiwis...
sadly after that...it was time to check out...got our stuff together...stopped at the gift store to buy me a bandaid (i got a blister from walking around that HUGE hotel)
then we drove down Chinatown <3 alas we were unable to walk down it like we planned because by now it was raining and I was getting sick (I do every year around my birthday)
but it was pretty so I dident mind to much :)
We made a stop at metro town and went straight to the Sakura anime store :D I WAS SO FLUSTERED. It was heaven I dident know what to buy.
In the end dad (who was confused about the strange creatures from different shows)
bought me a Chobits plush of the sad little bunny who was always "searching for its one and only" ;.; Such an awesome show.
so a while later we got home tired and laden with bags.
an hour later dad was sleeping, exhausted. and myself who's legs were to soar to allow her rest was sitting cataloging on my bed all the things I had recieved and who had given them to me for future reference (I'm weird okay) but unfortunately I never got to finish this task...I soon found out why I couldent sleep that night.
Mo was on the phone.
And she immediately gave it off to my childhood best friend Aaron.
Strange, don't talk to Aaron much I thought, but i was happy to hear his voice none the less.
Unfortunately my ears were horrible stuffed due to my cold so to my embarassement i had a hard time comprehending a few things but in the end I got the jist.
He had gotten into a horrible car accident...on my birthday...damn my birthday curse! (something always goes wrong)
My happyness had slipped away instantly.
He assured me he was fine, although he couldent remember anything.
and he had a punctured lung and broken rib...that set my imagination off of course...imagining a gruesome figure wheezing in a hospital bed covered in blood.
He then passed me onto mo, who asked me to come to the hospital where they were. I asked dad for a ride. But he refused groggily and yelled at me for wasting his cell phone battery (his charger was at the office)
After some nagging mo offered to give me a ride. Of course dad wouldent let me go (he's wise that one) I know I'm 19 now and really don't have to listen to him, but its my experience that often other people know how you work better then yourself.
So I agreed and mo said she would pick me up tomarrow instead, gave me a way to get him a present.
I then broke down crying (my imagination going at it again) I'm thankful for dad stopping me going because then I probably would have been to tired to do much of anything at the hospital and unable to keep my emotions under control.
To my bodys utter dislike I got up early, to my surprise Marcia came along :)
I asked all the questions I had been pondering about Aaron all night.
Felt a little relieved but not much, we drove past the accident...that dident help much.
When we stepped into the hospital I was surprisingly calm.
Sadly it was like returning home...I was a little disapointed that we dident up up the lobby elevator like we did to see mom.
Often I meet the doctors I used to know many years ago in pharmacy's are shopping center and kept my eyes peeled for a choice nurse or two but saw no one.
I got Aaron a stuffed pug dog at the gift stand (again memory lane) at the suggestion of the lady who said she had no huskys (Aarons fave).
And of course...Aaron was not bloody in appearance...nor was his eye falling out of his socket and there were no stitches in his face.
He had injurys beneath the covers I'm sure (There was a tube sticking out of his side, that was a hint) but for peace of mind (and for Aarons dignity which his mother later squashed by revealing his loony toons boxers which had been wearing for the last three days) I dident dare look.
Over all he was his chipper self just as I remembered him from elementary school.
So I knew he was in pain, the idiot always wanting to make others feel better before himself.
Allot happend, and I still worry allot about him today. But he's not dead and for that I'm thankful. I wanted to visit again really badly...but I got sick with a horrible HORRIBLE flu. I wa s literally passed out for 2 days.
I woke up feeling horribly guilty for not visiting him more :(
Still feel guilty. But being raised in polite society I know its better for him to rest without visitors anyways. -sigh-
Halloweens on the way! And dad and I went shopping for more decoratins! I wanna go all out this year! (Even bought a witch hat...which five seconds in the door my cat stol as for bed)
I hope I'll be able to do something with marc again this year (TRADITION...usually hang out on Aarons lawn eating candy and scaring children sometimes dancing to the eerie music his neighbors play).
But sadly I havent talked to marcia as much lately :( -worry worry-
I know she's probably busy with work and such and I really dun wanna be a bother.
:) Maybe mo will do something with me...
GOD I LOVE HALLOWEEN!
Best time of the year...and I'm learning allot about it from the superstitions book beth gave me...a big day for virgins apparently XD
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HALLOWEEN -squeel-
...I have a doctors appointment at 9am halloween day :( I hope I can get back from vancouver in time for some fun.
