Yay. Well yesterday was interesting. First things first, I left school, thinking that Justin and Leo were gonna leave at 4:20pm. I leave my house at 4:05pm. I arrive at Justin’s house at 4:20pm. I ring the door bell 3 times. My mom calls me, asking if I’m gone yet, I tell her nobody’s at home. I decide to call Leo, however I didn’t have his number. I called Denise, and in the meantime, decide to walk to Richmond Centre. She fiddles around, and finally gives me Viv’s/Erin’s/Leo’s numbers. I try Leo’s, not picking up.
“You have dialed 778-***-***. Blah blah blah blah.” I hang up, of course. I then try Erin’s cell. *ring* *ring* *ring* *ring* *ring*. Not answering. Seeing as how everyone’s probably gone, I don’t call Viv. Mom calls, asking where I am, what I’m doing. I tell her I’m gonna try to meet up with them. “You’re gonna bus to Science World? Forget it.” “No, I’m just gonna go to the bus stop. I’m not bussing by myself…”
*walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk* *walk*
Finally I get to the bus stop. Hooray, I found them. And then they tell me they phoned me at home telling me that Viv told them to leave ten minutes early. I had already left by that time… 20 seconds later, the bus comes and I realized that DAMN. Had I not run for a bit of the way, I would have missed it. Then I realized I didn’t have $2 in change. Erin hands me $1 and I use my own loonie, and hooray I’m on the bus legally. Short of that, I exchange phone numbers, just so people can finally get a hold of me without phoning my empty house. The bus ride lasted about… an hour? Quite uneventful except for Mike’s constant laughing, and the people who shifted in and out of the bus. I didn’t realize Granville could get so long.
Anyway, we reach the Waterfront bus stop, over by Seymour and Granville in downtown. Get a call from… Patrick and Casey. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who was ditched. Wait about 10 minutes for the next 98B bus and we meet up. Into the skytrain station~
We walk past the gate, and then Leo and I find that everybody was either slow, or doing something. They come out, and we walk to an escalator that says “Paid tickets” or something like that. Justin, being the wiseguy says that “We were all putting the ticket in the machine, that’s why we’re so slow.” Me and Leo go back, take about 20 seconds to find the correct machine to shove our ticket in, get back out and find that they ditched us. That’s twice I’ve been ditched in the same day. So then Justin comes up and gets us, realizing that we’ve disappeared.
And ONTO THE SKYTRAIN!
Feels like Hong Kong, seriously. “Next stop, Admiralty”, “Please stand back from the door *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*” But yeah, HK’s transit system is SO much better than here. Skytain takes about 15 minutes to Science World. And finally, we’re there. The wait was about 15 minutes and Igor started complaining about the wait >.> SOMEBODY never went to Disneyland before. And during that wait, somebody else couldn’t wait to get their hands on some popcorn. I’m not naming any names *coughwojustngcough*. What was funny though:
*Igor reaches over *coughwojustngcough*’s shoulder to grab some popcorn*
Thou whom shalt not be named: Omg. From my peripheral vision, I thought some random white guy reached over my shoulder for my popcorn.
So yeah. That was… I guess mildly entertaining. The total cost for entry into Body Worlds 3 and the audio tour was $20.50. *proof of purchase*
Going upstairs we lined up for the 6:45pm tickets, the time already being 6:30pm, so another 15 minutes of just standing there and talking about… Nothing. Mike calls Woody for some reason, and …. yeah. Anyway, when we went in, we got our audio devices.
Girl: So do you want the Basic or the Advanced?
Justin & me: What’s the difference?
Girl: Basic is just…. basic. Advanced is more for Bio 12 students.
Justin & me: We’re taking Bio 12! Bring it on.
The exhibit itself was actually pretty cool. There were tons of bodies (alive and dead >.>), and all the dead ones, you could see their muscles, their brains, their internal organs, even those that you probably shouldn’t mention in a PG-13 movie (I didn’t even notice until the 4th body, then Justin told me they all had them). The best body was a guy who had his head split into 3 parts, and then, you just really wanted to figure out where he was looking. Close second, a guy holding up his own skin. There were also animals shown only with their blood vessels. One was a tiny little chicken. (Yeah. Lots of small cock jokes.)
So out we go, back into Science World, and damn, was that exhibit big. Floor plan, in red.
So out we go, and Justin and I were hungry. We go down to White Spot and buy hot dogs. By then it was 7:45pm and we needed to get to the Omnimax. I didn’t buy my ticket yet, so I had to go back out to the front desk. So I went, bumped into Viv, Erin and Reb, we bought our tickets. I went back to White Spot to find that Justin had disappeared. So the rest of us went up to the omnimax, me without my hotdog (and yes, tons of awful jokes about that too). Took a while, but Justin comes up, saying that we ditched him, and DAMN. He put the hotdog in his pocket. It was still good though. So the Omnimax movie started, and me, being stupid decided to sit off to the side, so everything was somewhat distorted. Sucks. The movie itself was okay, showed quite a bit of what I didn’t know. Interseting thing, babies, for the first 6 months of their life can automatically swallow water instead of inhaling it. I can’t do that.
So the rest of the ride home was actually quite uneventful, except for the fact that Justin fell over onto Mike while standing on the bus. Yeah. Some of them went to have bubbletea, at a ridiculously late hour >.>
Great. Now I feel weird because not only is this my longest blog post, but this is the longest thing I’ve ever written that wasn’t for school. Wonder what drove me to write this.
o.o; Because you really liked Body World? GG.
MWith Uber long blog post now just do that more often. 🙂 Just that the picture of the ticket was kinda random.
