- Mother Mother, The Stand
Friday was the day that Toronto became completely overwhelming. We wandered the streets some more, seeing more things, and everything was interesting, and I wanted to see it all, but I was just exhausted. I didn't sleep well our whole trip; in Montreal I was on a small couch and in Toronto I was on an air mattress. The only part of not sleeping that kept me from getting too cranky was that I was cuddled up with Wrecking Ball, and was able to enjoy that as much as one can when the person they are cuddling is snoring like they're sawing logs.
We went into a stationery shop and I could have stayed for hours. We went into a record store that actually sold vinyls - I didn't realise you could still buy them - and it was very interesting. Wrecking Ball and I almost went to a Cuff The Duke concert (Cat had already said she was tired and wanted to go to bed early) but it was sold out. Instead, when we got back to Cat's dorm we went to the second floor lounge and curled up on a couch with books and a blanket and Wrecking Ball's iPod. I really liked that. I think it may have been the first time I've ever been reading a book at the same time as someone that I am consciously spending time with (by which I mean, we have chosen to be together and we're not, say, in an English class together) and I found it really enjoyable. I like the idea of being comfortable enough with someone that you don't feel the need to interact, you can just be with them and do your own thing. When I was with Cowboy I would often read while he played Halo, but that was really different; I was entertaining myself because he was ignoring me, it wasn't a mutual decision or anything.
