world town.

I probably had the greatest Friday ever!
It's been awhile since Paul, Ebony and I got to spend some quality time together. But now, since Paul wanted to relax and Ebony had made herself 4 assignments ahead of the pack, it was time to rekindle our love!

It all started around noon. Ebony sent an e-mail out the night before suggesting sushi, so she met up with me at the campus cafeteria, and then we headed down to the BGH to wait for Phil to arrive. Phil got there about 45 min later, and we decided to go pick up Cary babes (she didn't go because she had just eaten a huge breakfast, plus she read the e-mail too late...) From there, we took our hungry bellies to the Blue Ginger which in known in Nanaimo for the best sushi around.

Now, I've never eaten raw fish in my life. I always just order the california rolls with imitation crab, or the avocado/cucumber rolls, and I think they're delicious! Everyone knows I've been a vegetarian for about a month now, but the only compromises I make are fish... I heart salmon.
No doubt I was scared to do this. Paul and Ebony are like seafood fanatics, so I trusted them to help in my decision. Ebs highly recommended the tuna and BBQ eel. I ordered those along with the california rolls with REAL crab.

While we waited anxiously for our food, we reminisced about our years in elementary school. We talked about the bullying and taunting (towards us, or towards others!) and had some pretty good laughs. I don't think I've laughed that hard in quite some time, actually!

But yes, then the food arrived, and there was this HUGE piece of tuna and eel sitting on a bed of rice, and I won't lie, I got pretty scared... but nope, Ebony woudln't have it. She made me stuff that giant piece of tuna in my mouth... aaaand... to my surprise, it was actually pretty good! I was expecting this sharp hit of fish taste, which I would loathe, but it blended well with the pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce... excellent! And then I moved on to the eel which scared me even more. But I ate it, and it had a strange consistancy to it. But nonetheless, good.
Ebony had ordered rolls made with cucumber, mango curry, tuna, and atop of it was cavier. Tried that too. Was awesome! Then I indulged in my california rolls and loved every bit of it.
We all ate what we ordered, and then ordered even more! I now ordered the dynamite cone which had cucumber, rice, cavier, and prawn. So good! Paul ordered some stuff, and so did Ebs and Phil. The funny part to this story went like this: We all got our second plate of food, and in my plate was the roll, but beside the roll was salmon, and squid. I thought it must have come with my order because no one else said anything. So I thought, okay, whatever. I'll eat this. The salmon was pretty nasty, don't think I'll ever do it again. And then the squid.. oh my God. RANK! I nearly gagged. Ebony made me swallow. Sick. Absolutely sick. AND THEN, we find out later, it was PAUL's! Ahhhhh. He could have spared me the grief of eating that nasty, raw, pungent fish.

We took our stuffed bellies to the mall. Shopped for a while, didn't buy anything except for high quality chocolates, and then went back home. Ebs, Paul and I lazed around the BGH and decided to take our lazy hides to the gym. Did an hour of spin cycle which was amazing, and then went back home to make dinner. Nothing like perogies and salad!

But no, our day didn't end there! It was now 9:00pm, and we decided to go check out the new movie Milk that just got into theatres. Did a junk food run first of course (we don't fancy the idea of spending 8 bucks in the theatre for food, we'd rather opt for Wal-Mart, thanks) and snuck it into the show.

I must say, it was a great movie. Shows that you really can achieve what you believe. You can show the nay-sayers that all that matters is equality between people and casting aside judgement. It was pretty sad, but powerful. Ebony fell asleep during it (haha, she's so cute) and Paul and I just made rude, funny comments about some of the people in the movie, hahaha.

And then it was bed time. I ended up crashing at their house rather than mine because my bed isn't comfy at all. Yeah, I know I live like down the street from them, but it was midnight, and who cares. I got a better sleep there.

All in all, a day well spent. I don't think we ever tire of one another. I mean, isn't that what friendship is about?

Will blog more tomorrow... I've been sick all day today, might be getting the flu. Ugh. Just what I need.

God bless, and goodnight. xo
