So thoughtful! Everyone gets massages, tarot/psychic/palm readings, plus there was food, wine, and everyone got a little goodybag with Sephora lip stuff inside!
I met:
Aldea (al-deh-ya) who co-owns a boat-fixing company with her husband (a mechanic), lives on Bowen island, and went West Vancouver high school with Annie. They’ve known each other since grade 10. She is the nicest and unpretentious person there. She told me about this custom fabric place called Spoonflower! Oh and she is getting married in September!
Leeta – Tall, red(?) head who was reading her phone message so I went to talk to her. She has a friend Nicola who has alopecia, and cured herself by not eating any sugar.
Jenny – Asian girl with dark-rimmed glasses. She is pretty funny and chill. She was at Winnipeg for 2.5 years, hosting a show!
Angela – her and her husband own a heavy metal cruise company! Craziest thing. 70,000 tons of metal it’s called. Her laugh is a bit crazy.
Talked to a few more people and they had interesting info to share, but they tend to not include me. Not sure why. Vancouver clich-iness?
Saw April and Jenna. They are both fake people. But they seem alright last night.
I really enjoy learning new stuff. For example this girl with a super thin wedding band she got in Paris. It looked really nice. Another girl has an IUD and she doesn’t get periods.
Most of these people are moms. They are my potential customers, or at least market research group candidates. But, I don’t know how to make this work.
Oh and Sue, Annie’s sister, is engaged! I like her more than I knew! She is so nice to me, most of all. She is actually very career-oriented, which I like. And she used to be a ski instructor! Her story about how her fiance proposed was pretty hilarious. He got down on one knee when she was in mid-air on her favourite run. She was like, “Fuck. Are you injured? If you are not, I’m gonna keep going.” lol. And she said no to the proposal at first.
She is gonna keep her lifestyle of flying between Calgary and Vancouver even after marriage. That’s interesting!
Oh and had a 45 minute session with Christine, a psychic. I felt that she BS’d me so much. I was offended actually. She was rude. I didn’t like her. The chair massage was lame too. And the gift was a Sephora lip balm, which didn’t feel good on my lips. I enjoyed meeting a few new people though! I gifted Annie a pair of custom mugs, and that HONY book. With the gift boxes and everything, it was 45+15 (USD) + 15 (CAD) = $100 CAD. Big gift, but probably didn’t look it. She hosted a generous party though! I liked the bacon-wrapped-dates-wrapped-almond/feta cheese.
Sue likes me. And she is no BS. Annie is a great person too, but I feel that she doesn’t like me. So strange that she invites me to things.

Started talking to Matthew at around 10:30, after I left the party. Chatted on and off ’til 3am. Sigh. He is so cute at this point. It makes me sad to think that I can’t have him like this forever. I like flirting with him, and turning each other on so immensely.
Supposedly we meet up today, for the first time in 6, 7 years. I’m nervous, excited, and scared. I am not completely sure how it’ll go down, or if it’ll even happen. Fingers crossed. My gods and guardians, please make our encounter awesome!! <3
