Happy New Vegetarian Year

Image Placeholder

I am wasted. And I didn't even party that much... I woke up late on Thursday, and I just stayed home until it was time to go meet Zulema at Wellesley station. We wandered through the streets of the village before deciding where to go, and we ended up at Local, a bar with local food and organic beer at Dundonalds. Our lives changed there, since we were having this conversation about vegetarians and therefore ordered a vegetarian dish. As we were wondering why our order was taking so long, the waiter came to our table to apologize and explain that the oven that they would use to cook our food had been just used for some juicy meat dish, so they were cleaning it before they prepared our order. He even said that he knows it is awful for vegetarians like us to eat food that has been in contact with meat somehow. At that very moment, Zulema and I made the final decision to become vegetarians before the end of the year. That was our subject for the rest of the night.

Lindsay and Juhee (finally I learned her friend's name) joined us when we were about to leave to Nathan Phillips Square, and Kevin found us on our way there. We barely made it in time for the countdown, but we were separated by Kevin's fast and impolite steps. We wished a happy new year to the enormous crowd that was around us at the square, and it took us more than half an hour to get to call Lindsay since the network was so busy with people calling and texting everyone. We finally let her know that we were heading to my place, and so we reunited at the little convenience store next to Dupont station. I bought cheese, and we came here to have some drinks and disgusting food (popcorn, crackers, chips, grapes, and cheese - very delicious). Kevin left around 2:30am, and since he thought there was no subway anymore, he walked all the way home after waiting for the night bus that would never come. We later found out that on January 1st the subway runs until 4am (and it's free). Oli was the one to let us know that, and he got here with some chocolate just a few minutes after the poor Kevin left. Everyone decided to leave before the subway stopped, so I went straight to bed once they were gone. I fell asleep so quick I didn't even notice Patrick and Michelle coming back home a couple minutes later.

Today we had breakfast together as we were trying to make Michelle feel better. She was really sick from a mixed hangover of rum and wine. We left around 4pm to meet Patrick's grandparents and go to his aunt's place for a new year's dinner. It was hard to be vegetarian at a Chinese buffet, but I managed to eat some good stuff. Not eating too much made me able to eat much more dessert, which was awesome =] Caro and I started playing the "guess the story" question game, the kind that Samuel from CSA used to play with us sometimes. She didn't manage to guess the story about the three hikers that got lost at the mountains... Maybe she will keep trying next time we see each other. We left there around 8pm, and got here 40min after... Now I'll try to find something to do until I'm sleepy enough to go to bed.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who thinks he's gonna buy himself a brand new shade of man.
