somewhereeeee over the rainbowwwwww
firsty great news, inga got an extention on her essay. so instead of taking the opportunity to catch up on the work she hasn't done yet, she decided she wanted to take me shopping down Rue Mont Royal which is full of second hand stores and cute cafes. great i say, i can wear my new $7 shirt, my new paddington bear coat and my fabulous new boots... -insert music that indicates trouble ensues-... after the metro (train) trip we're only half way down the street when i realise my feet are really starting to hurt and these boots aren't so fabulous after all. i put up with it till im about ready to feign an epileptic fit just to be able to sit down or even go home when i take the shoes off instead (just for a second) with acute timing, inga turns a corner in the $1 shop to find me standing in the middle of the isle - shoes in hand wearing rainbow socks on my feet and a sheepish grin on my face. just before we leave i put them back on but once we've started walking again i find it increasingly more difficult and that i am NOT HAVING FUN. after weighing up my options:
1. get a bus back to the station and ruin the first full day inga and i have spent together outside of the apartment.
2. take the boots off for good and walk around in rainbow socks all day.
i know that i don't give a S#*% what people think and look expectingly to inga to find she supports the latter option. WOOHOO.. off with the boots!!!
so, all in all we had a good day shopping, bought lots of crap for our upcomming halloween party, and also just general crap. had to throw out the socks once i got home as they had massive holes in them but thats ok i have another pair. but the highlight of my day was avoiding the crazy people in the streets with hair that can only be described as beyond outrageous, the crazy people that are standing in the middle of the street with a hospital drip attached to them but asking for money, the crazy people who wear an item of clothing from every era starting from the 50's all in one outfit, only to look down at my rainbow socks - walking down the street in canada when its getting VERY close to winter and realising that I am infact, somebody's crazy person. however, on the trip home it was hot men on the metro day so that was momentarily forgotten.
