Well, let me tell you!
I e-mail my friends!
And I blog like a woman gone mad.
And then there's the 'researching' of new restaurants I want to eat at....
Here. Here's a fine example of the kind of elevated conversation that goes on here on a daily basis.
ME: I've just spent over $600 dollars on my car in less than a week.
W: Cars are expensive pieces of property...
Expensive to buy, maintain, insure, drive, ... Did I miss anything?
ME: No, I think you covered everything there!
W: Our problem is that we live in a city where it is either very difficult or impossible to be with out a car….
ME: Yeah...but you know, if all my friends and family lived in my area (say, at least all in Vancouver) then I wouldn't REALLY need a vehicle.
I lived for one whole year without a car while I was in Courtenay, and it wasn't so bad.
W: Still ... getting from your place to work cannot be all that easy - unless you can bum a ride from someone...
ME: Oh, yeah, for sure.
But along with that little day dream was me having a job close to my gorgeous house overlooking English bay.
Of course.
W: I actually had a job in Yaletown and lived downtown for a while... It was pretty nice - walked to work & to/from the bar.
I only used my car for weekend get aways and for grocery shopping...
ME: That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
W: But then my job changed... And moved out to Richmond... And I do like owning a car...
ME: Well, I like the FREEDOM a car provides me.
Heck, if I REALLY felt like it, I could drive to New York from here.
W: Dat be true...
ME: Or Memphis.
W: I suppose.
ME: OR, a small town in South Dakota.
I'm just sayin', is all.
W: Or Spuzzum?
ME: Yeah, Spuzzum.
But no. Not Spuzzum.
W: ;-(
ME: Don't be sad.
W: Spuzzum? :-0
ME: Um. No.
W: I guess I will just have to go by myself - but don't expect a t-shirt with "My friend went to Spuzzum and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt"
ME: It should read "My friend went to lousy Spuzzum. And I didn't."
W: ic
ME: You laughed, I could HEAR you all the way over here!
W: Maybe I did ... Maybe I didn't...
ME: HUMPH!
W: ic
ME: I need a new blog...can I use this one (I'll change your name to protect your 'so-called innocence' if you like...)
W: And how would this discussion be of any interest to anyone but us?? And even then I think it is touch and go...
ME: You'll see.
I'll spice it up.
Now. Yea or nay?
I can call you Douglas. No one will ever know it was you.
W: I am not a Douglas...
ME: Raymondo? (you'll have to rrrrrroll the 'r')
W: Haha ... Ok now that is funny!!! But No... Not Raymondo...
and on and on and on and on
and on
and on...........
Lmao!!! that is too funny, changing the names to protect the not so innocent.....Tawnya
