'Strip 'til You Drop' or whatever the hell it's called

Today was fulsome and excellent. Matt woke me up and I immediately headed out to meet him. The stupid snow teamed up with the stupid bus to foil our Lemony plans, but it was all for the best because by the time I got there my feet were soaking wet and I desperately needed tea and some food. So we ate, we discussed, we exchanged presents. Mine is very exciting.

I finished up the lasts of my Christmas shopping today, which was satisfying. All I want to do tomorrow is lie around. I briefly fell asleep around five before I headed over to my good friend Simon's house for a little Christmas reunion.

Simon and I have been friends since kindergarten. Around grade four I used to go over to his house every day after school along with our two friends David and Derin. We were nicknamed "The Group Home Kids" by Si's mother, who we lovingly called "Big Momma". Once highschool hit I used to go over, but Derin and Dave drifted into other crowds, and Simon went to a completely different school. So tonight for the first time since grade ten or eleven the four of us got together and it was absolutely amazing. It was awesome to be back with my boys. I was always the only girl in the bunch but man could I keep up with them.

It was so satisfying the way we all just got back into our conversational groove where Derin laughs, Simon and I just riff off each other, and Dave throws in an innapropriate comment now and then. Tonight we got on to the idea of solving the homeless problem by creating a homeless theatre troup. Our favourite production idea was "A Chorus Line" set in a soup kitchen. The song "God I hope I get it" was altered accordingly.

Everything was the same. Only this time we were drinking beer instead of tea, and talking about our respective partners. Yes, now we're all legal and we all have sex. Thrilling.

The top two quotes of the evening include:

"I don't even get to whack my whetstone?" - Simon

"I'm an outdoor pornventurer!" - Dave

Really the whole homeless conversation should have been recorded.
