Recalling a better time

So I apologize for my rather angry, bitter predecessor of this message. I've calmed down since then mainly due to the fact that I have indeed been doing things to take my mind off that... incident. I forgot to tell you about my wonderful downtown adventure that I had with a few friends. Well, it was mostly planned as a get-together for our two friends, who had their birthdays within the same week. This was also a way to celebrate our completion and survival of our Critical Issues exam. 

I took lots of pictures.... I honestly felt like that over excited mom that just shoves cameras in people faces. But yeah, yesterday was really awesome. We had lunch at a place called, "Okonomi House". It's a restaurant just a little bit off Bay st. where they serve Okonomiyaki–Japanese pancakes, essentially. We spent a really long time in that restaurant eating, talking and laughing. My friend and I brought with us our epic cake–which they loved. We even offered the cake to the people working at the restaurant! After that, we pretty much walked around downtown. We mostly spent our time on Queen and Chinatown. It was sooo fun. I think myself and my other friend (the one in the last picture, far left) annoyed quite a bit of people downtown. We were laughing at each other and other things waaaay too much. I was practically laughing the whole day. It was really awesome. 

So here are a few photos to document our little get-together:
The epic cake!


Rearranging the letters on the cake... too many inside jokes. XD


My friends enjoying themselves. I think my friend on the far left is a little too much. 

Hm... what else did I do yesterday? Okay, this may be a bit random, but I was looking at history videos on John F. Kennedy. It was the 45th anniversary of his assassination yesterday and there were features on him... So I decided to have a look. The videos were basically highlights of achievements during his presidency as well as a information on his assassination. I basically sat there fore 1-2 hours watching all of these videos. I found it to be really, really interesting. Well, I did a project on him in grade 8 and thought he was an amazing political figure. He achieved so much in his short term of presidency. After that, I was looking up conspiracy theories on his assassination many of which were very interesting to read. I kind of get creeped out after a while, so I had to watch really happy videos to calm me down.... I ended up sleeping at 4AM. 

I always tend to do that, freak myself out. There was one time I saw something about Jonestown–the incident where hundreds of people drank poison-laced kool-aid thus resulting in a mass suicide. I watched some videos and researched the incident independantly and again, freaked myself out. I lay on my bed for 2 hours unable to sleep because I was so scared.

But I'm fine now, no worries. It's rather informative stuff. I think I should just watch/read these things earlier in the day, though... I forgot how much I enjoyed history. 

Well, I suppose I'll stop the entry here. I should do some work.

The End.
