little bitty girl

I had the most gut-wrenching, jaw-aching, almost-peeing-your-pants, hilarious weekend. I've been meaning to blog about this earlier but my damn Internet was down and Boy Wonder is Down Under. Thank goodness he called today or I would have had to go to some scrubby internet cafe.

My girlfriend Marie, was in town to work and then after, it was all about play. We did a lot of "research" aka as obsessive shopping. I was afraid that we would not be good shopping buddies having never really done it together for long periods of time. This weekend proved that we are "for true" brain twins.

Shopping was done in a very symbiotic, fast flowing but casual manner. We both knew when to give each other space and are very decisive when it comes to the actual purchasing. Stefan is the opposite and I usually want to kill him shortly into this activity. Toronto really is much bigger than I ever give it credit for. Maybe because I live here and just go to the same shops over and over again. But when you have to go to EVERY single cool store you know....it's a whole different story. My ass and legs are still hurting from the whole process. No need to go to the gym this week. (That's what I keep telling myself every week in the summer.)

We also share the same size bladders as we almost always needed to pee at the same time, which was CONSTANTLY. I now know why we both have such nice, blemish free skin. Because we "hydrate like mother fuckers." And the joy of being able to share the joy of food who feels exactly the same way I do.... There are not enough days in a weekend to eat at every restaurant! Oh, if only we had bigger stomachs, if only for those few hours. I kept on trying to muster more of an appetite but really these things just cannot be forced. At least she managed to experience my beloved Salad King, the restaurant that doesn't really serve any salad at all.

She also got an introduction to the family's cooking madness. My mum was only supposed to make her a little something so that Marie could snack before she went on the plane. The snack turned out to be Pohpiah, Hay Mee (Shrimp Noodle Soup), Mee Goreng (Fried Noodles), BBQ Chicken, Crab Sauteed In Spicy Black Bean Sauce and Sauteed Bok Choy. Welcome to the Kang household where a little means a lot and I mean that literally.

Mindy was also very smitten with her. Even though she's very friendly to just about anyone, Mindy won't just fall asleep on you if she's not so into you. And she did with Marie. And Marie didn't mind Mindy. Even when she ended up stepping on Mindy's vomit. Twice. You know it's true love when your pet also loves the person. And vice versa.

The incessant giggling was the best part. I felt like I was five all over again. And like the typical five year old me, I was being such a complete brat with her. There was this book that I found at Urban Outfitters called Position Of The Day:Sex Every Day In Every Way that kept me in stitches the entire two times we were there. Marie's a little obsessive compulsive about that store. Anyways, the book depicts all these really funny line drawing of sex positions for every day. Some of them are really unrealistic, it is simply not possible for a human body to bend that way, I don't care how much freaking yoga you do.

Since Marie is on the shy side, she definitely did not appreciate me following her around the store, guffawing out loud at random moments. I looked up the position of the day for her birthday and I believe it involves a rocking chair. Marie just bought a new house so that is what she's going to be getting for her housewarming so that she and Bernie can perform their own "housewarming."

Oh, Marie. Stop blushing! I'd love it if you visit ALL THE TIME. Here's to balls of yarn, stapless staples, giggling, movie watching, clothes shopping, eating, giggling, japanese papers, eating, giggling, pet love, eating, making our respective boyfriends jealous, eating, Pride and Prejudice and more giggling.

Stop freaking calling me already. Oops! Or is it me calling you? Whatever. Urf.
