The Obligatory Update

[garnigal]

Last night I was told I don't update enough. So I'm updating.

We went out to dinner with some friends last night for curry buffet. It was great seeing jen_the_great again - we need to drag her ass to Guelph on a regular basis. After dinner we hit the CornerStone for dessert, only to discover a bunch of D's friends were meeting there. So we joined the group.

It was fun, and the more so because of the unexpectedness of the meeting. I particularly enjoyed everyone introducing themselves by LJ handle and icon.

Eventually I pled work and headed home with D and Jen. But there was Karaoke Revolution in the PS2, and I had to at least try it. I went to bed an hour later, when D and Jen pulled out DDR.

This morning I caught the 6:30 bus (30 minutes early!) and ended up meeting caliza unexpectedly. We decided that Guelph is weird. Most other places, you introduce your various groups of friends and hope they hit it off. In Guelph, you introduce your various groups of friends and they figure out where they met before/what groups they have in common. It's like six degrees of separation, but it Guelph it's only two.

So Jen, I updated. And like I said, nothing interesting happens to me.

I think the Guelph Friend Thing is due to the fact that, while it has pretentions of being bigger, its still a fairly small city. People who get involved in it in any way (school, community stuff, hanging out downtown) are likely to keep running into each other. Although I did work with a woman who lived in Guelph for three years and never once went downtown - I doubt she knew ANYONE there. All her socializing was in Waterloo. She eventually moved there.
But the Guelph Friend Thing is one of the reasons I really like living there, and don't want to move. Despite the can't-find-work-in-Guelph problem.

Oh, and is the Johnny Depp thingy still on tomorrow night? Cause I can bring chips.

Yup still on. Are you planning to come for supper? I'm thinking spagetti, caesar salad and garlic bread.
