Two things I realised today....you can't play the 'yes' 'no' game on your own cause you just look weird and I'm starting to hanker for conversation after being on my own for two days....what can I say I've had enough of my own company...I never shut up, I bore myself, we fight...I can never stay angry at myself for too long and the make up sex is great but I would like to hear the thoughts of someone else for a change....
Today I walked aimlessly around Toronto city for a bit until I found a bookstore with a map of the city...then it was on to the most obvious tourist attaction in this town....CNN Tower which was expensive (just under $30)but it's worth it, I took loads of photos...the view is amazing!!!!
Then I was even more financially naughty and sat in the restaurant and had lunch (calamari, baby octopus with salad) and some wine....wooo....ahh the crunch of octopi heads...after lunch I stood on the glass floor of the observation deck, which is one of the weirdest sensations. You know you're safe but the eye-brain connect thing is very powerful and just when you think I'll catch the lift down...the damn lift has the same glass floor...woh baby! Not for the vertigo sufferers I'll tell you.
I was going to lie, play the tough guy and say I jumped up and down on the glass...
...so I wandered around the city some more and spent a good 20 minutes looking for the sculpture garden which weirdly has no sculptures in it, unless I'm a bit artistically ignorant and the wooden benches were art??
I was told today by a Toronto person that this city is supposed to be the rudest in Canada.....HA! Which means I've either not met the rude contingent or I'm just so bloody rude and sarcastic, that if I'm the 'X' on a obnoxious graph and Torontians are the 'Y' our lines are just never going to intercept. These people are just so friendly...this same person told me that in Vancouver they're even friendlier....uh oh...how will I ever fit in?
Note to self: tape the eyebrow down and don't let out big fed up sighs when someone stops to chat at the top of an escalator...maybe I should just wear a mask or get botox?
Tomorrow I'm going to take advice of the nice waiter who served me lunch and take a boat out to the Islands and ride a hired bike around. Tonight I'm debating whether I should go out and get drunk....hmmm drunk Mel in the city of nice people, it just screams defcon 3 warning red flashing lights at the very least.
...and one last thing, what the hell is with men wearing plaid shorts in Toronto, I played 'punch buggy' but with plaid shorts today...but I got bored of hitting myself in the arm after the first three.
