I am Dawson.

What a week.
Once again, I went to Washington for the weekend. This time I spent a lot of it working unfortunately, but still had a great couple of days.
Seattle is really very similar to Vancouver, once you get past the fact that it's in a different country.. with different people.. and set out differently.. and.. ok they're very different. Whatever you get the point they're both on the ocean.

Anyway Saturday night saw a bunch of the Seattlians and myself going to see 'Borat' at a Cinemaplex in Bellvue (a very upscale part of Washington), and let me tell you.. wow.. just wow.
That movie is insane, and let it be known henceforth, that I am desensitized to everything..
Luckily I was somewhat prepared for what I saw, because I've watched a lot of Borat's skits online.. But still. Don't take your mother to see this film!!! (Or your uncle, aunt, younger siblings.. In fact, it's best if you just go with friends..)

Anyway, on returning to Vancouver late Sunday night, I discovered I had a new roomie.
Everyone say hi to Reece. (Ok he can't hear you.. actually he and I have only talked once and it was limited to around 30 seconds.. we're like *this* (crosses fingers).. )
I don't know much about him except he's going to Jamaica in about 2 days.. Lucky him!
I don't get to go to Jamaica, but I did go to a nice little Greek restaurant for dinner last night. Which leads me inexorably to the title of this post.

While sitting at dinner, I happened by chance to notice on more than one occasion, that the table of three next to me was staring quite obviously in my direction.
Not knowing if I had food on my face or if they were just in awe of my elaborately coiffed hairdo, I ignored them for a little while and continued sketching away on my sketch book.
After a few more minutes of glance-tag I was getting tired, and decided to glare very obviously at the guy closest, not in a nasty, Glenn Close sneer way, just a Justin Long spaced out way.
The guy noticed, gave a smile, and then said: "Hey.. Are you the guy from Dawson's Creek?"

Uh.. What?

I didn't answer right away. I spent a second or two thinking.. What are the possibilities I could run with at the moment, what evil insidious plot could I engineer from this situation.. How could I bend these people's will to gain control of the planet?
Realising that once again my plans of world domination had clouded my vision, I quickly replied that I didn't know whether to be complimented or offended. To which the four of us laughed.
I still didn't give an answer though.
I waited until they got up from finishing their meals, then as they left, I turned on a faux American accent, smiled at the guy and said, "Have a good one." and as they turned around to glance back, I added, "and hey, thanks for watching."

And I know this is coming about a month late but: New Years Day... Leap Years... these things a "once every four years" birthday do not make, hmm!? {Hobbles away on cane}
{Does crazy acrobatics while twirling a lightsaber...}
{Theeeeeeeen continues the sweet succulant juicy marinated hobbling}

(No, I haven't checked my facts but I'd rather stay secure in my smugness till somebody corrects me)

Ok, I used to get told I looked like Dawson a few years back when I had blonde tips. I always took it as a MASSIVE insult. I mean, have you seen the show. He sucks.

However, on the upside, they just asked if you were the guy from Dawson's Creek. They might have been meaning some other guy from the show. Some other hot guy perhaps. So i say take it as a compliment! :)

.... sorry, im looking at the pic of "dawson" and i cant get over the eyebrows and hair....*shake*

And not just dawson (oor), but, DAASON like they say it over there. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Somehow, that makes it worse.

AAAnyway, glad your twisting their tiny inferior minds! One step closer to world domination methinks!

Oh, and i saved a baby ringtail possum today, so proud. Clingly lil bastard.
