One Fine Day

Yeah, so on May 1st (last Thursday) I had a great damn day. I took the day off from school, etc, ’cause I had been in a pretty bad mood the last couple of days, and it seemed that every single thing anyone did was ticking me right off, and I could tell that it was going to lead to me yelling at someone, or hitting someone.

So I removed myself from the environment that was causing such problems, and boy did I feel better when I went back to school on Friday.

Anyway, that’s not the point of this post. The point of this post is to detail why Thursday was such a good day, and what exactly I did on my day off, so here goes:

I woke up at 7ish to my dad paging me over the intercom, telling me that breakfast was ready. We didn’t have much food in the house, as we hadn’t gone shopping in a while, and it was finally pay day, so if I didn’t get up, I wasn’t going to eat ’til after shopping, or even until dinner that night. So I got up.

I went upstairs, had eggs, ham, and hashbrowns, I hung out with my parents for nearly an hour, and then went back downstairs. I had a shower, got dressed, watched an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s fifth season, and then started doing some math homework. My mom went out for a hike with her friend Ada around 8:30, and my dad was home ’til around 11ish. I talked to him a li’l more before he left, but not all that much. Once he had left, my mom came right home, and I asked her how long it was going to be ’til we went grocery shopping. She finally gave in, and said around an hour, so I went back downstairs and watched an episode of Buffy again to kill time.

Finally, I went upstairs, and we left. I had reserved a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV for myself at London Drugs, since I had a hell of a time getting anywhere else to get me a copy. In fact, I had reserved the game at Seaside Video three weeks before it came out, but they never bothered writing it down, so I didn’t get the copy of the Special Edition they had promised me, and instead had to call London Drugs, and just got lucky that they had a copy for the 360 available, and would hold it for me.

Anyway, we stopped by the Bank of Montreal, got some cash, drove all the way into Gibsons, and when I finally got to London Drugs, I bought the game, took it back to the van, and put it under my seat so it wouldn’t get stolen or sit in the sunlight while we were in shopping at IGA Marketplace.

This is the IGA in Gibsons where my dad works, so we saw him in there a few times, and he even helped us find meat tenderizer. Anyway, the important thing is that when I got there, I went to the Pizza Hut Express that they have there, and got myself a medium pepperoni stuffed-crust pizza, and it was easily the greatest thing I’ve ever tasted, ever. Or maybe that’s an exaggeration. Either way, it was damn good, and I loved it.

We finished grocery shopping, loaded up the groceries into the van, drove back to Sechelt, and stopped by the mall to go to Shopper’s Drug Mart to pick up pharmaceutical supplies (shampoo, Q-Tips, floss, etc) and after that, we headed over to Seaside Video once more, and I bought Mario Kart Wii.

After getting home, bringing in all the groceries, putting them away, etc, it was already nearly 4:30, and Smallville was on at 5, so I just spent half an hour with my mom, and then went downstairs to watch Smallville and eat the rest of my pizza as dinner. After that, I finally sat down at my 360 around 6:15, and played GTA IV for the first time. I had been waiting for the game to come out for months, and crying about not having it since the release date, but I finally had it, and I played it ’til nearly 8 o’clock.

After that, I headed upstairs with my Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Wiimotes, Nunchuks, etc, and played the game with my mom for nearly 2 hours. I tried it online, and after a while got bored of it again, and my mom was tired, so I took it back downstairs, put the Wii away, etc, and played a bit more GTA IV ‘fore watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and falling asleep.

The only way that day could have been any better was if I had gotten a tonne of free cash, or won a shopping spree or something, found the secret to eating whatever you want, and not gaining billions of pounds, or had gotten [Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian] without doing the crazy-long quest. ;)

    Yeah, I was lucky enough not to get it. Although now that I’ve said that, chances are I’ll get it in a few days or something. ;)
