This weekend I discovered many things about life in Toronto. The firsIt is that it is possible to go out for drinks on a Thursday night despite having a ‘day job’. Though it isn’t something I would want to do every week since it makes for really long Fridays - at least when I did it in Dublin, time flew by!

The second is that I am capable of taking the subway downtown and not want to shoot myself because of boredom. At least when I remember to bring my iPOD with me. Also, taking the subway during the weekend is nothing compared to during the week… I have yet to try that out this week, I’m not loving having to pay $12 for parking every day any more.

Next, I discovered that I am capable of taking the streetcar home on my own and finding at taxi right away. I used to think that living out in the ‘burbs meant that I either had to stay at a friend’s house after a night out on the town… since the subway stops running before the bars close. But you see, the street car still runs… and if it weren’t for the frequency of my need to go to the loo, I probably could’ve walked up to grab the College streetcar.

Lastly, I learnt that I was really silly before in thinking that I didn’t have freinds or that I wasn’t liked… I got a pang of this feeling while I was waiting in line at Grace O’Malley’s for a Don*’s birthday but thanks to the liquid courage I had been drinking all night I managed to shtick it out. Turns out, he was so excited to see me I’m still hearing a ringing in my right ear. Anyway, those are some of the lessons I learnt this weekend… I can’t wait to see what May Two Four (Victoria Day) weekend has in store for me!

How was your weekend?

I didn’t have too much planned for my four days off but I’m still hoping to live a little since I don’t know when I’ll have four days off again. Here’s a little recap of the weekend, and my plans for the next 2 1/2 days.

Friday night: One of my college bestfriends, Jordan invited me to a lounge called Fuzion, where a friend of his is hosting an event. I worked till around 10:30 so I got there around midnight since I had to eat before I went out. We had an after partyat his house till about 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. but I went to bed around 6:00 a.m. - I just couldn’t stay up any longer! I met some really wonderful people, and can’t wait to see them again!

Saturday day: I was going to go to the Peller Estates Winery Open House between 1:00p.m. and 4:00 p.m because I’ve always been curious to know what it would be like to work at a Winery. Even though I’m perfectly happy with my current job, I want to go because it’ll just be plain fun. But I woke up a little late, so I decided to catch up on some writing instead (more on this later).

Saturday night: We went out for Heather’s birthday celerbations at Supermarket, and then Eat My Martini afterwards for drinks! She’s a great friend and I couldn’t ask for a better way to spend a Saturday night. As it turned out an old friend from University works there part-time and it was good seeing him again. Plus, I got to meet his super cute partner!

Sunday: I’m going to church… haha gotcha. Today was my backup day for going to the Open House, but I still didn’t end up going. I decided to take it easy and watch some TV instead. I stayed away from the computer a little as well. The fun part of my day was going to Best Buy, and Walmart with the family.

Monday: St. Paddy’s Day!! So far I have plans to go out for drinks with Angela and her friend, I’m hoping that Brent calls me before I have no time left to see him while he’s in town from Calgary!

Tuesday: Rest, relax and prepare to go back to work on Wednesday night. Maybe do a little re-organising in the house/my room.

Yes, I know I just was complaining about never having time to write any quality posts? Well this is my temporary solution: forget it all together and have fun! This way I can clear my head and hopefully come up with a better method or better posts all together!

On one of those four days I’m going to have to sit down and write a few more scheduled posts/real posts because this is only the 3rd one I’ve written and I don’t have time to write another before work. At that time, I shall update you on my adventures… and I do have some pretty interesting stories to tell!
