I’ve had two good sleeps back in Toronto (minus the fact that my nana snores at night), and I feel ready to make changes and get my act together. I have a place in Montreal, my new debit & credit card just came in, I still feel sluggish, but today I’m going to find a new gym, book a hair appointment, and take a tally of everything I need to bring to my new place in Montreal for September. Not bad for one day’s work, right? I hopefully will be getting some cycling in today, actually I know I will be because I’m also going to be scouting out new fair trade organic coffee shops nearby
I feel like I have a fresh outlook on all of my endeavours, But anyways, I feel like a preachy born-again Christian. In other, more sarcastic, news; Matthew Gray has a new boy and I’m heading to New York! Both of these are good, and are related because everyone who knows me knows about the scandalous, somewhat one-sided but still significant, escapades of (mostly) Matthew Gray & I. Poor Matthew, before fully accepting his orientation, expressed to me via facebook his (seemingly) serious attraction and hit on me on various occasions. Now it’s a huge joke and I make fun of him for it as often as possible, because the one girl he chooses to hit on turns out to be a lesbian. He sure knows how to pick ‘em. Anyways, the fact that Matthew has a new boy(friend) means he’s less likely to dip his toes into the suspiciously warm waters of heterosexual conduct, and more likely to be a bubbly-best-friend type. He and I are going to New York together, which means there will be plenty of fine dining, crazy escapades (and accompanying blogs) and really bad tourist photos! Who’s excited?
We’re going to be staying at the Hudson, and for anyone who’s ever stayed there you’re probably thinking, ‘hey, I stayed there, you need to be 21!’ well yes, technically you need to be 21, but Matthew Gray fought them on the phone arguing age of majority is 18, and we got to keep our room. Pretty cool right? I was very impressed with him, and also with the hotel for listening & even changing their policy. When we arrive, I do believe they will acknowledge just how exemplary we are. Either that or they’ll think we’re a bunch of crazy gays ravaging the hotel and sneaking alcohol into our room. I can’t remember which day we’re going, but I think it’s later on this week? I’ll get back to you.
