A Gift in the Heatwave

Alrighty, so I met up with Ivy today, to give her souvenirs from my trip to Texas. So anyways, she had just gotten out of class (summer school) and decided that she'd walk down the hill and meet me halfway (since I'm at the bottom of the hill). So I'm walking up the hill, and she's walking down it. Indeed we meet halfway, but she ends up having to walk all the way back up since our destination was the school. She liked my shades. Lots of people do. Hmm.

Anywho, got to the school, where we cut through the school to get to the other side, making a stop to greet friends who were working as staff at the summer school, and at our grad class photo hung up on the wall. I'm almost dead center. That's awesome.

Outside, I gave Ivy the souvenirs. A gold plated plaque with her name on it, and more stuff to boot. No actually, first was a paper bag, with "DISPOSABLE BULLSHIT BAG" on the front. Second was a sheriff badge, with Pawd'nuh on it. Couldn't find one with her name on it. Couldn't find one with my name on it either. Anyways, the third was a Texas card. Joke item, but interesting nonetheless. Good thing she liked them. Was a bit scared she wouldn't like them, since all 3 of them costed about $5 US in total.

We went to a nearby park to hang around when she noticed a bee making off motions in the grass. She said it was like they were mating. Bee porn. Live. Wondafo. Anywho, she wanted food, so we hopped on a bus down to the skytrain station, where she decided that she could live without food for a bit, but wanted to get out of the heat. And so we ended up on a skytrain for a full loop. The system ran into some technical difficulties (someone probably jumped onto the rails), and the trains were halted for a while. Played scrabble on my iTouch to kill time. My best word was rayon, which then went to crayons.

Once the train started again, we went to Metro for food. Had Arby's. Ivy told me the story of how she has no internet for a week. She's grounded. Must suck to have no internet. Headed for Chapters, but the nearest escalator was out of service. Everything's messing up. Went the long way around, making several stops along the way. Killed lots of time at Chapters, and before we knew it, it was 5:30. Bolted for the bus terminal, where Ivy missed her bus, and went to kill a bit of time. Went out again, and her bus was there. I missed my bus though. Good thing another one came not too long after. Bus'd back in the sweltering heat. Had to take 2 buses, since my house isn't connected to the 49th route. Walked for a few minutes in the heat and showered upon arrival @ home. Too hot out man.
