Essentially in the Middle of Nowhere

It’s been an awesome three days in the big city of Toronto. A dynamic difference in comparison to the small little town of Kingston.  It was great to be greeted with such great hospitality and staying in my friend’s studio flat in the heart of the city. I really couldn’t ask for more. To be quite frank I never really connected with the girl before it would be the day to day things we talked about, the weather per say or how much this assignment did not allow me to get a good nights sleep — You get the gist of things.

It was therefore real interesting that she opened up her home just because I asked. Well, I met up with her in December and just asked her what she was doing for reading week. I’m completely grateful that she had done so, because if not I would have no where to stay, and I’d be stuck in the little town in the middle of no where.

The first night I was there we stayed up till 2 am. And it was simply great to just to get to know her. It was odd I guess that I had to initiate every conversation we had since I got there, but it plays to her quiet personality.

I got to do some awesome things such as shop for the things I needed, well necessities more than shopping for what I wanted. I’m kind of bummed that they actually don’t have Timberland stores here since I recently found out they all closed down in ‘04. So I could not shop for a good pair of boots to replaced the ones I’m currently worn all the way to the sole. They’re a great pair of leather boots that I don’t want to part with as they brave the light Kingston snow and are that great day to day pair of shoes that are classy, not over the top shoes. I also looked forward to visiting Clarks or stores that sold them anyway since I spotted a pair of their Originals Desert Mali shoes that are new for the season. Eaton Centre just wasn’t that impressive since I didn’t get to purchase the things I hoped to. However, it was great that Sears was having some really random sale for their bath things. I lost my only towel, well my only real cotton towel during BEWIC. So it was great to purchase a nice shade of blue towels – other than the fact they take up so much space in my bag. I’m just lugging around a 45 L hiking bag and my new 30 L MEC deluxe book bag (:

I’m sporting the book bag in red, apparently a colour more suitable for me Random, now back to my days spend here in TO. The second day was great, when we went to Ktown in this case (Korean Town). Went for my haircut and had some great conversation with CC since I haven’t seen her since the end of summer. I guess that’s really it, wandered around downtown, watched “The Grey”, got NW hooked on House, baked PB cookies.

Now, I’m just sitting in “Café Princess” in the Finch Subway station area. Random I know, but I didn’t want to stay in downtown, subconsciously well may be now consciously to avoid any more awkward conversations. I’m enjoying my coffee with hazelnut syrup. mhmmm... If it was only hotter, that would be great. I’ll blog a little later after staying up with the train wreck girl. Hope she’s not in that state at the moment. Looking forward to share the love of God.
