AM Vancouver

10:05am PDT Saturday 12 August 2005

Vancouver Day: I am waiting off the boat to let Katt bring alcohol off the boat so I can take it and bring it back *on* the boat.

10:34am PDT Saturday 12 August 2005

This is taking a bit longer than I expected for her to get the bottles from reception.

I'm sorta greeting people as they come in and out of the boat. I don't want to look too obvious. I hope she's not getting in trouble or anything. Not sure what's going on.

AM devastated

11:11am PDT Saturday 12 August 2005

(crying)

Fucking devastated by Hitomi. She won't leave me alone. She chased me all the way to my room telling me to calm down and stop crying, and I'm like I'm crying because you won't leave me the fuck alone you stupid fucking fuck. I fucking ripped Francois' ear and neck because I wanted to rend Hitomi's neck. Stupid.

But the good thing is I was able to get the alcohol in.

She was like, I just want to ask five questions. I was like, "no." then I was like, "alright, noon on the boat holiday for one hour," and she was like, "why didn't you tell me before [that you had the time available]?" and I was like, "I just fucking thought of it now cause you won't fucking leave me alone" and then she was like, "I wanted to talk to you before P-B," and I got pissed. I was like, "you fuckin' should have talked to me SIX WEEKS before PB instead of springing this shit on me less than a week before P-B and I would have told you to not fucking come."

((Her version of that story is that she *did* tell me well before P-B that she wanted to go, but I "didn't believe" her. (I fucking believed her, but I believed *everyone* "wanted" to go on P.B because *everyone* said they wanted to go.) ))

Lunch

11:56am PDT Saturday 12 August 2005

I don't have a layout of the city in my brain really, but I have a general sense. Katt and I are at a cafe with internet access for $10 per hour. Katt is trying to steal my food.

Haha she thought I said, "Katt is trying to civilize me."

I'm glad Katt saw me crying crying crying and offered to take me to lunch.

Skating in Vancouver

3:15pm PDT Saturday 12 August 2005

I'm back on the boat. I rented skates and skated in Stanley Park, but it's not that exciting for skating. So I went into downtown and skated with traffic.

Now I'm debating the logistics of determining if I want to keep my skates overnight and go to Tami's family for a BBQ and not have to travel too far wearing no skates (so slowww).

Talking to Maxine

6:40pm PDT Saturday 12 August 2005

I'm chilling with Maxine at her jewelry stall. We just saw Matt, Emi, Petra, Greg, and Nicole walking around.

I'm here because after I dropped off my skates, I determined I didn't have Tami's phone number! Nightmare! I was really sad at first, but then I saw someone eating a new ice cream cone so I knew ice cream cones must be available nearby and I went to get one to satiate my emotions. Dairy Queen less than a block away produced a Blizzard with Reeses Pieces (no M&Ms), and I walked back toward P.B and saw a girl behind this table and she just breathed the biggest *sigh* in the planet and I felt sorry for her so I went up and made like I was looking at jewelry.

7:21pm PDT Saturday 12 August 2005

Just spent 3 hours talking to Maxine. Just chatting in English and I practiced a tiny bit of Spanish. She said she learned Spanish in one month in Mexico.

green necklaces

During our chat a guy came up and was like, "hey man, do you have a green necklace?"

Maxine goes, "yeah, this one; it's four dollars."

He was like, "Ah, I'm looking for a necklace for forty dollars."

"Um, none of our necklaces are forty dollars."

"Oh, well, do you have any green necklaces at all??"

"Yeah - we have this one for four dollars."

"Do you guys know what I'm talking about?"

"Um... no......... ooohhhh.. yeah....., we um, no we don't have any green necklaces at all."

nap

11:25pm PDT Saturday 12 August 2005

I just had a three hour nap. I put my computer on my bed with plans to work on journal entries and pictures. Closed my eyes for a second to rest and bang I was gone.
