Half an hour at La Ronde.

"And by great relationship, I mean he hides in a hole and I make funny noises. Actually, that's kind of like my relationship with everyone."

-Kelsey (on a gopher)

I spent a fantastic day with Kelsey today. What did we do? Well...we talked. No, really.

Isabelle and Alanna were supposed to go to La Ronde as well, but Isabelle sadly could not. Here is how the day worked out. Kelsey and I met at school (whereupon she began to tell me about why she was up until so early in the morning, and somehow we got to the subject of Bourdeau...). Then we tried to walk down to Pinoli Pizza, backtracking to get up to Monkland -- it's north of Sherbrooke! -- the whole while...talking. Talking and listening, and you may imagine who was doing more of which. Wondering who the people around us really were, and wondering what Kaj would think when his obscure relative told him about the weird girl with the hair and the other one with the koala backback.

Then we walked down to Vendome, took the metro to Berri-UQAM, went to the library, got lost in a small art gallery consisting of the paintings of some obscure abstract artist, got on the metro again, walked from the station to La Ronde, went to the fountain only five minutes late for our 3:00 appointment with Alanna...and then, unfortunately, she too called and cancelled. So we went on two rides (the teacups are the best therapy in the world!), bought two sno-cones (both for Kelsey), and left. We then wound up walking, once more, all the way back from Vendome. Talking, often about rugby, or dogs.

And Kelsey is really such an awesome person. But you knew that. Anyway, no further musings. Got them all out earlier today. Now, as for tomorrow....

Oh, yeah. Ya gotta love the artificial flavour.
