Zany worship practice / Time with Jon and Jeremy at Steam Works / Que stions 2101-2150 of 5000
Before I left earlier, I found some amusement in the fact that Spoz had somehow stumbled upon my GJ and replied to it. His comment: "yeah, hi.. Spoz ere.. from the uber ridiculously famous SPOZ'S RANT (here - just in case it isn't already plastered a trillion times over on this site.. hahahaha)
Y'know that moment in one of them wacky stalker / serial killer movies when someone comes to bust open the door to the crazy shack, shines their torch around the predator's "abode" only to find a zillion and one surveillance photos of themselves going about their normal day to day activities.. but in crazy closeup?
(also used - the creepy "dark room / film developing" scene for similar effect)
yeah.. dunno why I'm reminded of that when I stumbled upon this blog..
heh.. go figure :)"
My reply: "Hahahaha. How in the heck did you manage to stumble on this site then? I'm thinking a certain mutual acquaintance of ours helped in that regard.... that, or those blog tracker linkie-poo site thingers. ;) But yeah... I'm not like that! haha. Not even three trillion times, hehe. You'll get yours later, haha. :P" I'll talk to him about it later, heh.
Jon, Ivan, and Isabel (who lives in Coquitlam, but spent the day in Richmond... getting lost on the bus is a good way to know a city!) picked me up at about 6:15 tonight: I'd wanted to go for beer with Jon and Jeremy later, so tagging along to worship practice was better than busing out. We talked about random things in the car, as well as Christmas plans. The funeral for Katherine's husband wins the title of "shortest funeral ever" since it was only 20 minutes long, according to my brother. (eulogy, five-minute-long sermon, and some singing.. definitely not a two-hour-affair as Nathan's mom's funeral was!) He had Alzheimer's for a few years, took a bad fall, and passed away since his immune system couldn't take much anymore... he'd been very fit for a 65-year-old, apparently. I told Jon that Steph had forwarded me Melissa's email about scalping tickets, and she seems okay with the idea of staying at my place too. Once we got to church, I went to the Pho place (fifth time in four weeks, and the second time in three days) and had some dinner. Chris ordered something to take out, and Steph had ordered stuff for Isabel and Ivan already, so everyone involved was good for dinner.
After dinner, I went back to the church: my sister was surprised to see me there, and teased me about "getting drunk on a Tuesday night." My brother thought that I'd be doing my Christmas cards at the Pho restaurant: uh, no... if nothing else, the Christmas stuff they practiced full-blast was enough to put me in the mood for writing a few cards to some close friends. Apparently, they're trying key changes / swing / Liberace (joke?) out on Christmas Day. Breakfast that morning will be at Bon's at 8:15-ish... we're going to be SO fat and full by the end of the day! (Bon's grease at breakfast, possibly Green Village for lunch with Justin's grandma, and Auntie Grace [Dave's mom] cooking a LOT for dinner....) What I thought was a New Year's Eve thing with Justin's grandma is actually on New Year's Day... and Jon told me about some Friday night dinner at the Broadway / Oak Red Robin's at 5:30 with Andrea, Chuck, and others. It'll be good seeing Chuck again... long-distance relationships can be hard, but at least he and Andrea have some phone contact every day!
Later, Jon and I Skytrained to Steam Works for beer with Jeremy, who was wearing $500 worth of Gore-Tex. (at least it's useful, and he likes his pants and jacket with lots of pockets!) It was kinda supposed to be Jen's farewell thing, but Jon hadn't talked to Jen in person since Sunday morning. We split this HUGE plate of nachos which we managed to finish, plus some buffalo chicken pizza. Everyone had a Christmas Ale, and the guys had an oatmeal stout each... and then Jon had a small cream ale on top of that! I certainly didn't need another beer after my 9% ale... usually, I get red on my second pint! (and it wasn't even a pint of ale, heh) As Jeremy said, I would have been WAY too happy on the bus, and reading the same line over and over again! Good thing we took the bus / biked home, heh. It was good seeing Jeremy again even though we just saw him yesterday, as we managed to talk about a lot of stuff. We probably won't have the SLB night before Christmas, heh. Jon's friends come into town on Christmas / Boxing Day / the 27th, so they'll be busy doing stuff.
Upon arriving in Richmond, Jon and I discovered that we'd missed the bus by five minutes... we certainly didn't want to wait an hour for the last one! He called Steph, who was watching a movie and didn't want to pick us up. Instead, we walked to my place: my brother fired up the Internet and looked at the Hardball Times, Aaron Gleeman's blog, and a page with the 186-184 triple overtime basketball game between the Detroit Pistons and the Denver Nuggets before leaving at 1:15 AM. I hope he didn't miss the bus... I'll call him tomorrow and ask, heh.
Elaine replied to my email about hanging out: Friday night after service is good for me, heh. Maybe people WILL go out afterwards, so we might do that with them... if not, no biggie. If she's driving me back to my place, even better. :D
Got these questions from this QuestionClub LJ post by Arthurbulla. I'm going to post the survey in 50-question batches, like the original. No worries there! Five thousand questions and answers wouldn't fit as an entry, anyhow. :P

Let's say you're too scared to get out of your car. Then what do you do? Drive!

Marianne Faithfull, and Nico from the Velvet Underground.
Which 60's Type are you? (For girls!)
