ěANOTHER Tim Hortons?î A baffled Eric asks. Mike and I go onto count, and realize that thereís 11 Tim Hortons in the St. Catharines area. Niki (dustball) and Eric (lightning) are amazed, and Chris (RaineyDayz), myself (olpsunflower), and Mike (xmikex) are highly amused by the Americans little knowledge of the scarcity of Tim Hortons coffee and donut shops in Canada. After some photos were taken, and some books were signed, we crammed the 5 of us (no one smaller than 5í6), into those ě4 poses, 3 minutes, 4 dollarsî booths.

That resulted in a good 12 minute laugh session. I guess no one was aware of the fact that every time I take pictures in the photo booth, Iím either sticking out my tongue, or sticking up my middle finger. They caught on quite easily, though. As the pictures can easily tell you. Everyone got their own set of 4 pictures, and everyone signed the back. I was very friendly, and let them use my beloved, ěThaunî pen. They didnít seem like they felt as privileged as they really were ;)

It was a good day, we all met up at 12 pm in front of Zellers in the Pen Centre. Chris was visiting the area from Truro, so we arranged a meet-up with everyone around this area. Our personal knowledge of each other didnít really go much beyond CC posts, and an ICQ chat here and there, but by the time the day was done, we learned quite a bit about each other, Eric and Niki saw their first ěbulk barnî store, Chris and myself checked out the male locals, and Mike wasted $6 getting keys made, instead of going to Home Hardware for 99 cents.

Chris had $50 she had to spend over the course of the week. She spent it with in 5 minutes at Sam The Record Man. We made Eric look like Blossom, Niki gave Chris and I sparkly bracelets, and after the whole day of thinking and staring, Chris and I still havenít figured out who Mike looks like. We stole 18 free magazines from Sunrise Records, blessed one of the Foodcourt tables, realized our similarities while CD shopping, and Chris and I stole all of Eric and Mikeís food, instead of buying our own.
