Weekend at Sierra's

Weekend at Sierra’s

Picture me: It’s Friday, I’m at work and Sierra texts me to tell me that she is really sad because her friends, who are supposed to be visiting her this weekend, are being flakey. I tell her that’s frustrating, try to be the understanding and sympathy giver. I then think “How can I be a better friend right now?” So I ask her what her plans are tonight, tell her that I will come up and not be flakey. She says thank you and politely declines, tells me that she will just pick up a shift and go to a work party. But I persist, I can tell she is still sad and just being brave. Or at least, this is what I picture. Because I am that type of person, so I immediately push my reactions into the mind of my dear friend. I tell her I’m coming (with a lot of apologies and making sierra promise I’m not imposing)

The weekend turned out to be lovely. We had a really chilled out Friday night full of chatting, chic flicks, and the sims. I think Sierra and I are very similar types of friends in that we don’t have to be doing anything at all to be having a good time. We can just co-exist together and find it very satisfying. We’re sort of like a married couple in that way (or like her and Art).

Saturday we picked up Tori, and went to a really neat café that reminded me a lot of My Dog Joe in Westdale. Only this place was a lot more hipster, a lot more vegetarian, and truthfully… a lot more delicious. (To be fair, I’ve only ever had cookies from My Dog Joe and a panini that had tomatoes in it during a time that I did not appreciate tomatoes – still don’t know if I like sun dried tomatoes. Still may not like that panini)

The day progressed as a typical girl’s weekend. We were gluttonous with brownies and sweet chili heat Doritos, we watched chick flick after chick flick and Tori, who is in school to be a masseuse, gave us each a really wonderful massage.

The night was spent getting ready for a Valentine’s night rave that had an Alice in Wonderland theme. It was set in a really cool venue that had different art pieces on the walls, two chill-out rooms. I have to say that the chill out room directly off of the dance room was my favourite. It was a really cozy room with blankets and pillows, sheets.

I had a great weekend. I have a great friendship with Sierra. I love her to bits.
