Wandering Metrotown's back corridors post-Sui Sha Ya and Chapters / May 2009 BBT
I was determined to not be late this afternoon when I met Billie at Metrotown. Ended up taking the wrong 407 bus because I thought it would turn into a 430, which goes straight to that mall. At some point around Ikea, I started to figure that I'd chosen the wrong bus to take. I didn't panic, though... I decided to see where it would take me. Thankfully, it went across the Knight St. Bridge to Mitchell, and the bus driver said I could take the #22 Knight to Knight and 49th, so I followed a bunch of people to that bus stop. It was HOT out, man! Got to Metrotown at 3:40, so killed some time at the dollar store (didn't buy anything), and got a mango bubble tea at Little Tea House. Saw Emily T. there, so we greeted each other; she asked if I was going to kickball later, but I told her that we had no fellowship program because of the church events this week: the Wednesday talk, and the Saturday monastery retreat. It was cool seeing her!
Went to Superstore, and Billie saw me. We wandered around the store talking about really good pasta, friends, things that your family just doesn't need to know, and other stuff. Then we decided to see if the Aji Taro I noticed last time had opened yet: nope, so we went to Sui Sha Ya instead. SO MANY MENU OPTIONS! Talked about awkward moments with friends, guys, sashimi, geoduck, exes, giving people space, Chapters, Austin / Jeremy / Jeff / Chris / Shaina / Ryan / Jairus, Persian food, parents, healthy food, the police, ex-friends who are addicted to drama, not forgiving people, ramen, yakisoba, eel, tempura, BBQ salmon, and more. I still can't believe people say certain things, but I guess they do! From there, we spent the rest of the evening at Chapters: read some funny greeting cards, laughed over the "LIBIDO?! Does that mean SEX?!" / "tentacles as testicles" stories, and read a bunch of useless information and comics. I managed to finish skimming 11,002 Things to Be Miserable About: The Satirical Not-So-Happy Book (Lia Romeo and Nick Romeo) - good old parodies!
Then the real adventure came when we tried to get out of the mall. Most stores / exits were closed or blocked off, so we eventually went outside only to find that we were walking too much to get to the bus loop - a security guard helped us get back inside the mall. We went upstairs (the escalators were off, but turned on again), only to find that the way to the Skytrain was blocked by a gate. It's a bit creepy being in the mall after hours, especially if you have no criminal intent! We had to get out of there before they turned off all the lights - NO DARKNESS FOR US! Decided to see what would happen if we went to the back corridors - Billie used to work at Claire's, so she vaguely recalled a way to get out of there.
That didn't really work, and we tried that again after we encountered another person who seemed to be having the same problem. We all agreed that there should be emergency buttons in the maze-like halls! Finally, we hailed the SAME security guard we'd seen before - he guided us out of the mall to a spot near the parking lot. PHEW! Billie and I took our leave of the other girl, and took the Skytrain. She thought the 407 stopped at 22nd St. Station, when it didn't - but I knew the 410 did. Oh, I remember that time I met Palmer there in 2005: his first words were about Jasmine's ex Dave, but I thought he was talking about my friend Dave. Yikes, haha. At least the 410 was there and waiting, so I got to Richmond by 11:15 or so. I just decided to walk home from 3 Rd. and Westminster, heh.
Leslie just took the Future Job Quiz. If I live to the year 2501, my job would be: The personal assistant to His Royal Highness The King of The United States.
Leslie just took the How Bad Are You Quiz and is a little bad. I am a little bad. You have your moments when you can be bad, but on the whole, you are pretty good.
Leslie's just got their Swedish Name. I just got my Swedish Name. It's Hanna Persson.
Leslie's just got their Angel Name. I just got my Angel Name. It's Hamied, the Angel of Miracles.
Facebook quizzes taken from Adam, Kaitlin, Becky, Candy, Amy, Sarah G., and Ryan:
Leslie took the Which Korean Boy Band Are You? quiz and the result is Super Junior. Yay!! You got Super Junior. (SuJu) This band consists of 13 hot guys... namely Eeteuk, Kangin, Eunhyuk, Siwon, Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Sungmin, Hangeng, Heechul, Kibum, Yesung, Shindong, and Donghae! Sweet and lovable guys that specialise in pop, ballads, and dance, they have 4 sub-groups: SJM, SJH, SJT, and SJ KRY. :)
Leslie completed the quiz "What kind of mask do you wear?" with the result Purity. Your mask is purity. You are always trying to be true to yourself. You don't care what others think is right or wrong... you always use your own judgment to decide. You often ignore the millions of rules people are trying to place on the way you should live your life, because you know they are meaningless and that you are a good person. Your intentions are usually pure, whether it's wanting to do something nice for someone, or just take some time for yourself. You understand that pure isn't perfect. You get angry, jealous, mean, sometimes stubborn... but you are who you are, and your mask isn't trying to hide it; it's just helping you get by the life you love and enjoy.
Leslie completed the quiz "Which American Serial Killer are You?" with the result John Wayne Gacy. You are an upstanding persona in your community, always involved in helping others and much respected and admired. You are politically active, having once rubbed shoulders with first lady Rosalyn Carter, and are always organising public events and giving back to your local community. You even constructed a makeshift bar in your basement where underage boys can get together to do drugs, drink alcohol, and view porn. What a nice guy, right? The cops are just hassling you for no good reason. Sure. In reality, you are a sadistic homosexual with a short fuse. You cannot hide your true self from your wife and family, and always attempt to cover up with half-assed excuses and tall tales. You also have a creative side that will come to fruition during your long years in prison. You paintings mostly depict clowns and children's story characters such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The most you have sold a painting for is US$9500. Your paintings have been signed by the likes of Duke Snider, Willie Mays, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Sandy Koufax, Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella, and President Richard Nixon. Famous last words? "Kiss my ass!"
Leslie completed the quiz "Which Classic Hollywood Actress Are You?" with the result Clara Bow. You're Clara Bow! You are a vintage woman. You were one of the first "it" girls, and as far as many are concerned, everyone else just followed in your footsteps. You might have come from a rough background, but you made something remarkable of yourself. You are a real flirt and you have more energy than most. You define the style of your time, and you're not willing to change yourself for anyone. You like to have fun with your sexuality, and you don't think there's anything wrong with being just a little promiscuous. Unfortunately, your popularity may be short-lived, and if you're not careful, your stubborn overindulgent spirit might prevent you from regaining your career. But one thing is for sure: you will not be soon forgotten. Classic Clara Bow movies: It, Mantrap, Dangerous Curves.
Leslie completed the quiz "Which girl from Gossip Girl are you?" with the result Serena van der Woodsen. Queen S herself. You wear your heart on your sleeve and can be a little naive. No matter what you do, you would never intentionally hurt anyone -- unless they severely piss you off, that is. You're always willing to stand up for your loved ones. Despite the goody-two-shoes appearance, you're a bad girl at heart. You aren't afraid to get crazy, and you love to have a good time. People admire your optimistic outlook on life. You have a kickass closet full of deep V-neck dresses, tight jeans, leather jackets and the hottest (and of course, most expensive) boots. Unfortunately, you fall for guys who leave you for stupid reasons. You deserve an amazing guy.
Leslie took the What Twilight Character Are You? quiz and the result is Alice You are like Alice Cullen! She is bubbly, smart, and gorgeous. She can even see into the future! Not to mention, she's also a vampire. :) Congratulations! NOTE: Girls will get guy results, and guys will get girl results. Its O.K.
Leslie completed the quiz "How North Shore are you?" with the result Been Theyah. You probably live somewhere like Southie or Newton and have been to the North Shore, but your lack of complete knowledge of the area brands you as an outsider.
Leslie completed the quiz "# Of Days You Will Survive In The Zombie Invasion" with the result You'll survive 8 Days. Congratulations... you've killed hundreds of zombies! You survived for 4 days! Good for you! But you died when a Swat Team tried to save you, and then your Swat Van got invaded by zombies! You were then stranded at a house for 3 more days, and then the zombies ate you. Better luck next time.
Poo nugget for this weekend: Dr. Stool Says - A Terrible Streak - The appearance of a streak at the bottom of the toilet bowl is highly unpredictable, and there is no evidence to suggest that specific foods are responsible for lending this stool its sticky nature. While a streak is rarely a cause for concern, thick and sticky stools could indicate internal bleeding. In this case, blood originating from the upper GI tract (i.e., the stomach) is transformed during its passage through the intestines into a thick, tarry stool that is usually jet black in color and extremely foul-smelling. A dramatic change in the color of stool (to either black or red) can often be the first indication of serious gastrointestinal bleeding.

You Are Low-Maintenance |
 Compared to most people, you are incredibly easygoing. To be honest, you are truly a breath of fresh air. You are open-minded about trying new things, and you're not upset when things don't work out. You are willing to go along to get along. And your attitude helps you truly enjoy life! |
