Apparently I have lar.. laryn... laryngitis (sp?!)... Well, I can't talk, let's put it that way! Which is grrreat at work when you go to answer the phone and all that comes out is a squeak. I'm like the perfect woman now, haha! What's up wit' me... Went shoe shopping at Wal-Mart (I'm ghetto, can I help it if I like cheap flipflops?!) and I'm just gonna mope for the rest of the night. One of the girls that I work with at the Bay (Tukta) and I went down to the Pride Parade on Sunday, it was sooooooo much fun, I had a ball! Every single person there was in a good mood, which is amazing considered it reached 39 degrees and jammed together around me was an amputee in a wheelchair, a family with small children, a Japanese tour group and an older gay man. Pretty awesome. My pictures turned out GREAT and I can't wait to see Tukta's! I am going to go every single year, I have a new tradition. I've heard so many people saying how disgusting it is that they're parading around Toronto in leather spiked g-strings and how should they have privileges over hetero people and how vulgar and crude... I couldn't disagree more. First of all, every single parade in Toronto is dominantly "straight", from the Christmas parade down to the Easter parade. Even though I'm not gay, I could not possibly have had more fun. It's not necessarily Gay Pride, it's pride of diversity. And thus ends my rant.
