I practically spent 2 hours walking in downtown this morning.
Woke up at seven, hastily ate some stuff and squeezed myself along with other workaholics in the bus/subway. I went to Kensington market first, but most of the stores were still closed, sadly. I idly walked and walked, breathed the fishy-smelling air with the caressing drizzle. I happened to see this interesting Indian style skirt (sorry I don't know the name of it...) that I really wanted to buy; but then as I tried it on, I realized that the waist part is too tight - let's just say I'm too fat for it - but I really liked it. Since I had nowhere else to go, I decided to take a walk on Yonge. Walking in a place like downtown is enjoyable; I love it when people are passing by swiftly minding their own business and I'm just staring and this world with wonder - I don't belong to the crowd, I don't belong to this world. Subway is another favourite of mine; people glance at each other (except for the ones who read or pretend to fall asleep - they can't risk missing the stop) and have little biased thoughts about other people's appreance. It's a good place for me to think about my life, music, philosophy and some random crap from school and home. Isn't it weird that complete strangers gather nonchalantly and coincidentally, ride together for part of their lives and then depart without smiling or saying a word to each other? Then going off carrying their own little secrets that no one will ever know after they die.
Anyway. I went to Elliot's and got
Sophie's World for $5.89 (somehow I remember the price very clearly). I just had to own the book. Most interesting stores weren't open as well... I'd advise you to not to go downtown aiming for shopping before 12. I dicovered a Tibet store but they didn't have many jewelleries which disappointed me. Then I walked up to Bloor and Yonge, jumped on the train and by the time I got to school it was 12:29. But yay, I made it, I was on time for the first time in 2 weeks!
...
Just watched American's Next Top Model; gee, Anne is the bitchest. Too bad she didn't get eliminated this round, but I'm sure she's not going anywhere with modelling. Amanda is my girl, I love her to death. I can bet $1.99 that she'll win. (considering the fact that I'm nearly pennyless, this number is huge for me)
Jazz band tomorrow at 10:15... sleep well everyone. (or, if you are reading it the next day, "slept well everyone?")
p.s. I typed this for the 2nd time... stupid blogger didn't work and I lost the entire entry which I have elaborated so much on... screw myself for making the same mistake for the.. Nth time?
