Is It Me You're Looking For?

Here I am in Toronto, killing time until the second Dark Side show. I can't afford to go to both, so I helped lickthefrog get ready, then vamoosed to the public library. Someone nearby smells of stinky feet, so I shan't be long here.

I had bubble tea, admired the bottom half of the CN Tower (the top half had disappeared in a cloud of pewter-hued smog), and roamed and roamed and roamed. I bought a coolie hat in China town. Almost every store sells them, yet I have never seen anyone wear one. I think it goes rather interestingly with my ensemble (KMFDM red and black tshirt, black cargo miniskirt, black leather rivet belt, thigh-high red and black stockings, army boots, red leather collar, and a black, blue, and yellow headscarf).

I forgot to mention that while I was at the skeezy mall yesterday, I stopped in the dollar store and found a solution to my poi problems: little silicon-blobbed keychain ball fobs with LEDs inside. They light up when struck. This makes them perfect for kick changes. Hell, they even light up on simple wraps, so I'm set. And they're just a buck each, the same as glowsticks, with more excitement value than glowsticks. And they come with swivel clips. What's not to like? My current set are yellow and orange, and I imagine I'll be doing lots of sidewalk poi-ing until it's time to go watch the dance show.

And another thing.... Last night, as snowy_kathryn, real_bethy, zero_design, and I walked to the theatre, we were accosted by a herd of men with roll-along coolers in tow. They gave us free bottled water.

Bizarre.

So where is everybody? When I got on this internet terminal, I expected to see plenty of posts in LJ land, but there's not much. I can practically hear crickets.

Hello?

So where is everybody?

this is about the only thing of substance i've written lately and it's kinda US-centric, but if it helps:

I recontacted with an off-on-again boy I've known for five years. I later found out he's probably still dating someone. I have a crush on a drug dealer I bonded with in Seattle and at Darlingn Reunion, and my mother wants to kick me out of my house. I can't decide if I should go into phlebotomy, or if I should pose for Nawa Shibari photoshoots in Seattle.

hey, free bottled water!

I'm in Australia so haven't been online much. I, too, am killing pre-flight time!

Ooh, say hi to Queen Street and the gargoyles on the Old Courthouse for me. I'd really like to get back up there at some point.

I love the LED balls. They're so much fun. What can I say; they appeal to my inner magpie. :)

Hey--the CDs I asked for arrived today. Thanks!

That's sad to read about the CN tower. I remember
when some people called it Toronto the Clean.
It seems every summer it just gets grimier. If
that's a word.
