a day worth noting

anyone uninterested in the tiny details of my life, skip to the next entry...

friday, party day at andrew's place... friday the 13th part 2... part 1 was back in february or something and we all stayed indoors but not this time... big backyard bbq with all the fixings... andrew was a little anxious at first about not being better prepared when i got there but really, even when i'm late (which i was) i'm early (which i was) - by the time people really started flooding in everything was running smoothly... his co-host and one of two house-mates lisa, with her candle light idea, attention to ambiance, and somewhat shameless promotion of her friends as being 'available' ([ahem] she might not have used those precise words) seemed to be rather clearly trying to create an environment where people would be more inclined to 'hook-up'... and it seemed like ravi may have been heading in just that direction if certain [ahem] 'obstacles' hadn't gotten in the way... i, of course, did not 'hook-up', much to mariann's dismay i'm sure... dismay in the 'disappointed cheering section' sense that is - what were you thinking?... mariann was with someone (i must not ask the right questions on those rare occasions when i get to chat with her 'cause i never get the best details) and andrew was right, i would never have been able to guess who it was even with the hint that it was someone from compublox... there weren't many unmarried guys at compublox, even fewer now, and what would otherwise seem like the best bet has gone home to his beloved PEI and i can't really see him coming back...

anyways, unlike the first party where i was basically on my own surrounded by people i'd never met before a good chunk of the time (the only one there i knew was andrew and he had too many guests to hang out with me all evening, but i'm certainly not complaining - it was interesting and fun) this one had a whole bunch of my old friends, many of whom i hadn't seen in some time (9 months in minh's case) so instead of spending quality time with strangers i opted instead to spend the time catching up with my friends (who knows when i'll get a chance to again), meeting furrukh's 'partner in crime' and hearing the story of how they met, finding out minh's expecting his wife to finally arrive this wednesday and that now he's got to find a new place to live 'cause that tiny little bedroom in stan's basement is too small for 2 people (my words, not his)... i originally thought i'd make better use of my time amongst strangers, but oh well - maybe next time...
