I got a program ^.^ Sigh...ya know, sometimes it really hits me how much you people mean to me. But ANYways, here's what happened... A while back, I pretty much gave Helen a blank check...told her that I felt horrible about that little screwup and that if there was anything at all that I could do to make it up to her, to just name it. Sure enough, she did. So as a result of that, I promised her that as long as I didn't already have plans, if a friend were to ask me to some religious event, that I would go. Doesn't really seem like a big deal does it? But to me it was...I mean hell, I can't even begin to remember how many similar offers that I turned down from Matt during the summer to mid September. So yeah, it was a pretty big deal of me to make that promise but hey, a man's only as good as his word right? To be PERFECTLY honest, I wasn't actually expecting any sort of response to that...after all, it's started to be a habit for me you know? But hey, as I said, my word is bond and I'll live by it. COINCIDENTALLY, just a couple days after I make that promise Juliette calls and asks me to an event at her church for the first time...I found that highly suspicous -.- heh, but it's all good. So happy at the prospect of seeing you again for the first time in FOUR FREAKING MONTHS!!! >.<, We really need to NOT do that again...I don't know about you but it was starting to get pretty bad for me...I never really realized how much I missed SEEING you and talking to you face to face til today... And geez, shoulda told me that the parking lot would have been PACKED >.< who woulda thought... -.- Had to drive down another block, made my first illeagal u-turn out of many for today and went back to park at the bowling alley across the street. Crossing the street to the church...there you were, standing out there on the stairs looking COLD as hell with your head tilted to the side as I walked up...you looked cool ^.^. But you shoulda just waited inside somewhere Juliette...I know you were out there worried that you had missed me and that I had wandered into the 'chinese' section but whatever, I would have figured out SOMETHING was wrong eventually XD But damn it was good to see you again...you haven't changed a bit Juliette do you know? You look exactly the same as you did on the last day of school. And still as short...I know you don't like hearing it but c'mon XD It's really endearing...somehow, when I try to picture you after not seeing you in so long, the image in my head is always....taller XD I don't know why...I just picture you as taller. Seriously, I do. Then, when I run into you again to see that the top of your head only comes up to a little past my shoulder...it's really...endearing I guess. The event itself...the singing and the whole praise song singing bit...well, I've never been comfortable during those. Same with the whole 'pair up and pray' bit... -.- I'M SORRY YOU GOT PAIRED UP WITH ME!! >.< The whole book review by that chinese guy would have been better if he was more...natrual? Less nervous? Had a better command of the english language? XD That guy in the video that was shown..like WOW he had a HELLA shiny forehead XD SERIOUSLy!! There was GLARE from the LIGHTS on his FOREHEAD!! BWAHAHAHA...but anyways, that third speaker guy, that white pastor from where ever...I liked his bit. His whole little story about meeting that Islamic man on the plane and the modern parable he told of the old man and the painting of his son were pretty moving. I guess it sorta made up for me the surprising arrogance and presumption of the guy that lead the prayer after the whole pairing bit. Asking to pray for the lost souls of those that don't follow the one true god and those who follow the wrong religion and worship the wrong god...I'm sorry but that struck me as incredibly arrogant. Those people believe in their religion same as Christians do and are as ardent about their beliefs as Christians are so where's he get off saying shit like that? Regardless of what they have faith in, they still HAVE faith. I mean, if you really think about it, the whole thing was about the need to convert the rising numbers of Islamic people to Christianity. I'm sorry if I'm wrong in my way of thinking or reacting but really, when I heard those words, all I could think of was the arrogance of one who would condemn something as wrong so casually. Sure, believe in your faith and your relationship with your God as much or as little as you want and by all means, show and teach the Gospel to people as Matthew charged so that they may use the 'free will' God gave them to make enlightened decisions but DON'T condemn the faith of other people simply because you believe yourself to be RIGHT and them to be WRONG. Anyways, that all finished soon enough and OMG, your SISTER!!! I saw your SISTER!!! . . .she's hot o.o . . . AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD LOL, I'm just kidding though so don't get all worked up over it. She's pretty and seems really nice...I guess she takes after her older sister eh? ^.^ She looks a lot like you Juliette, I know that almost all siblings hate hearing that line above all others but really, the similarity is close enough so that even I can see it XD It's so funny to suddenly realize that she's taller than you..by quite a bit XD Bwaha, you see how tall you are compared to her? That's the height that I pegged you at for the last 4 months XD or rather, see HER height? That's how tall I thought you were XD And what the hell was that?? When that guy at the WEC booth thing starting talking about korean people, you both turned to grin at me. HOW DOES SHE KNOW? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TELLING HER ABOUT ME??? xD Conspiracies EVERYWHERE!! >.> A guy can't be too careful these days ^.^ but whatever, didn't talk to her or anything but she seems cool XD Now to the chaos of getting Juliette home... XD Who knew that it would be so much trouble? XD I don't know what you were thinking but I'll have you know that from the very beginning, I WAS planning on getting you home. Whether it meant driving you or bussing with you or driving AND bussing home with you, I was already planning to do it. First plan, drive you to Kennedy station, park at the Tim Hortens across the street and take the subway with you and get you home before returning and picking up the car and driving home. So while we're going, fun topics...like that kitkatbar song...and OMG, the hair thing XD AHAHAHAHAA, the hair thing XD The male menstrual cycle being centered around the length of their hair XD That was pretty funny...and RIGHT when we hit Sheppard, you bring up the point that I could park at Fairview mall and have the another station RIGHT there. So wheee, crazy turn and we get to Fairview. Get outta the car and into the station and onto a train. Get on the train only to realize that to go to Kennedy station would have been better...and after a bit of discussion on the train, realize that actually driving you all the way home wouldn't be as difficult as I imagined...SO, we get off a few stops in, get on a train going in the opposite direction back to the way we came, get back in the car and start driving again XD Started listening to some music that I had stashed in the car a few weeks ago, the last time I had driven and heh, surprise surprise, it's the Dashboard songs ^.^ And what's more, you seemed to like em too which was a bonus. XD The talk shifted to some...less happy topics on the way for a while, but that's okay too. Missed doing that with you too ^.^ On the plus side, though, it was nice to hear you singing along softly with the songs ^.^ . . . Whaaaat? I like your voice -.- so sue me... Anyways...showed you my house as we passed it, along with another strange u-turn with a car speeding right behind me XD But yay, you saw my house XD The little house standing beside bigger and taller houses...sorta like you next to me eh? XD With the talk shifting to your CREEPY ASS nightmares, we headed down the Danforth... Yeesh...do you have any idea how good it was to see you again? I really mean that Juliette, every single thing about you that I remembered and wanted to remember...every quality and a lot of the special little quirks and mannerisms that I associated with you since I've known you...I saw them tonight and it was just...it was exactly what I needed. I got what I could to you tonight...after all, who knows when the next time I see you will be eh? That's why I was poking fun at you all night...to see you react and to hear you talk as you jumped around from one thought to the next without finishing the first...all the little things you did from trying to RACE me up the stairs? to pretending to wash yourself like a cat; minus the saliva...as you said, "I was thinking about licking my hand too but thought that would be kind of gross..." that half embarrased and happy look that came up when you admitted that you were going TRICK OR TREATING!! XD All of the things that make you, you...it was just....it was really good seeing you again Juliette... |
