Play a weird-in-a-good-way human dress-up game at these twoshops. (There are definitely other vintage stores in the neighborhood, but these two have the most formal-looking clothes as far as I can tell.)
Watch the sunset at 7:55 PM. (This is the exact time.)
Goodbye, Montreal.
But not without a pitstop. (We will be corny and take pictures in front of the giant iconic tourist trap.)
Notes
We'll have my car, but bring comfortable shoes/sandals because we'll be walking a lot and taking public transportation. Apparently, there are cool stained glass windows only visible below ground in the Montreal Metro.
The only bullet points I'm insisting on are fancy person dinner (which we agreed on) and watching the sunset. Consider everything else an idea if we feel like leaving the hotel.
Jack, this is the most certain I have ever been that you really are a Psyop. You have crafted, quite literally, a perfect weekend. An entomophilia exhibit?? So much stained glass!! Sunsets! Public transportation! Religious fervor! Open air markets! A hotel room with a dining room table 👀
I am feverish with excitement. I don't even care if you were sent by the government. Joke's on them! I'm living the dream.
I better not be a psyop or a Manchurian candidate or anything like that, because then I’ve spent a ton of money on my VPN when I didn’t need to.
[…] I’m glad you like the itinerary, but don’t get too feverish or else we can’t go. Also, if there’s anything you really want to do that isn’t on the itinerary, please tell me. I’m down to do anything […] with you.
You'd probably have to pay for that anyway. They don't want you to have access to BBC programming.
Nothing comes to mind. It really does sound perfect. Although I've been known to get swept up by whimsy. I promise to reach back for your hand like one of those influencer girlfriends before I run off to do manic pixie dream girl shit or whatever.
Back in the day that was extremely annoying, but now that Biden is president I like to believe he’s personally blocking the BBC because he’s Irish.
We can take a picture like that, but I can’t be the one to post it. Or else people really will think I’ve been psyop’ed.
Also, I’m glad you noticed we have a dining table. For Friday night dinner and drinks, I was going to take us to this spot (yes, intentionally picked; 🌽y, I know). But we can also eat in. […] Did you ever watch that kind of bad movie that came out last year, the one with the confused 50s/60s aesthetic and Harry Styles dancing like a crazy little puppet boy?
Oh, good point. No more BBC Three for me, in solidarity.
No, thank you! I was just teasing. I wouldn't dare to disrupt your shoes and birds brand with influencer girlfriend behavior. My instagram could definitely do with a few more tasteful slutty forearm shots though.
Why, yes I did. Do you want to take me to dinner at Darling and then put on our own private performance of Don't Worry Darling?
I need more shoe shots of you. Oh. Wait. Have I had the foot fetish this whole time?
I do want to do that, thank you. I’ll make sure to pack eggs with nothing in them for your big revelatory moment discovering I’m a psyop. […] Kidding. Also, not to be a hater, but Mr. Styles’ technique in that movie looked really bad, like nothing he did actually looked enjoyable, I’m just saying. And double also, because I laughed at a part of the movie you’re not supposed to laugh at, I think I’ve been hexed by a coven of elder Zoomer witches. That hex will probably mature within the next eight years, so just FYI. Something else to know about me.
You know, I always suspected it was you all along but it just sort of felt like a discovery you needed to make on your own.
Oh, for sure. I don't care what he claims Watermelon Sugar is about. That man's acting was definitely not method. And I wouldn't worry about the hex. All real witches know that you're meant to laugh at men when they yell out of anger.
[…] Wow, really putting me in my place in two ways, huh? I dig it. I’m not really an angry yeller, but you can laugh at me if I do my tortured silence routine.
Am I? It's not your fault that I have such pretty feet. And if I genuinely thought you would ever yell at me, you'd never get these bad boys out of their grippy socks. My critiques were not aimed at you.
Not really liking how much I’m liking foot talk. I think because it’s funny, no other reason.
No, the putting me in my place part 2 was you correctly guessing which part of DWD I laughed at. Like I could have laughed at the part during the chase scene through the desert flats where Florence Pugh moved her steering wheel back and forth crazily yet drove in a perfectly straight line, but no. You’re right, I did laugh at the part where he has his big emotional blow-up and it’s like watching a Muppet badly spoof Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
[…] I forgot his name is Jack in that. Lol. Well fuck me. Anyway, please pack your grippy socks, too. The floors are smooooooth hardwood. ✌️ (Affectionate; peaceful.)
Sure, of course. Just like the whole bugfucker thing, which was totally just a joke and definitely not a parapraxis.
Well, I know you. You also probably laughed at Chris Pine shouting, "Look at this boooy daaaaance!!" but I don't think it's nice to laugh at boys who are just trying to express their inner demons through tap, so I went with the Muppet Meltdown.
Grippy socks. Green dressing gown. Toothbrush. Got it 👍 (Affectionate; supportive.)
Now you're manifesting things? Under the boysenberry wormwood moon or whatever? What is the truth?? Speaking of(ish), the Perseids are peaking tonight. After Cole's thing do you want to see if we can spot some?
Ah, I have not. But I have overheard almost the exact same conversation that Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde have during that scene take place between a soon-to-be bride and her bachelorette entourage in the bathroom of a bar with a mechanical bull.
When I was 20, I was once down bad enough to light a candle beneath a full moon as a last ditch resort. Then I immediately put it out because I could hear my 외할머니 in my head telling me I might go to hell for doing that. But anyway sure, let’s do it. 2 AM is supposed to be the best time. […] Do you want to see if we can get out into Mallet’s Bay? I don’t think anyone will care if we borrow a pedal boat post-witching hour.
[…] You know what I just realized? I don’t think you’re having a bachelorette party. You should do something with your boys, maybe you don’t even have to tell them. But you should at least wear a cheap plastic tiara and not explain why.
Did it work? Or did God via grandma stop you in time? [...] And that sounds really nice, but we probably shouldn't drive through the Riftlands alone at night. Also, I'm incredibly paranoid about impaired driving, just something else to know about me.
[...] Maybe. I don't know. I'd like to tell them, but now that we're not really pretending anymore, it feels more delicate. Like, I'll react really poorly if they react poorly.
Didn’t work. I think if you’ve resorted to lighting a candle to get someone to text you back, they’re not gonna text you back. But years later they campaigned for Andrew Yang, so I dodged a bullet. And thank you for telling me. That’s actually good to know, and right of you tbh.
I get it. Tell them when it seems right, and maybe you guys can have a belated bachelorette thing? […] It’s weird because I think of myself as […] the person you’re seeing before I think of myself as your fiancé, because that’s what’s real more significant. But I feel bad about you missing out on fun wedding things.
[…] Not much to do about it, though. Where did you want to watch the meteor shower?
Lmao, I'm sorry. That's not funny. But one of the biggest fights Cassandra and I ever got in to was tangentially about Andrew Yang. She told me that nobody cares about hydrate modeling and that I needed to be "more realistic" and focus on "real things." To which I very maturely responded, "What? Like you, you Yang Banging bitch?" And then I had to sleep on the couch for two weeks 😔
You don't need to feel bad. I'm assuming I'll still get to experience all the fun wedding things that actually matter to me: looking pretty, being told I look very pretty, carrying around a random handful of flowers imbued with mystical romantic powers, making vague and slightly threatening promises, exchanging physical tokens of ownership in a socially acceptable way, being congratulated for my ability to pull, thinking about sex while dressed as a paragon of purity. I don't need a bachelorette party. I'll tell them ... soon though. Now that we're actually seeing each other, I feel like I need to reestablish how important you are to me, but it's not like I can be all 'Haha, I was just kidding when we got engaged, but now it's serious.'
Anyway, hm. I didn't really think it through. We probably can't see them from anywhere walkable with the riftlight. Just making excuses to keep you up with me, I guess.
[…] Did you two actually like each other All of that sounds rough. Also depressing that people taking important chemistry seriously was deemed even less realistic than UBI happening.
We should just keep doing what we’ve been doing. I think after the engagement party, people got used to the idea of us being kind of crazy. We can throw another themed party at some point.
How about we sit and watch the Dome from your balcony? Better view than mine, at least.
That's true. Although honestly I think they underestimate how crazy we can be if we really put our minds to it. You should choose the theme this time and I'll make the metaphorical baba ganoush.
You are so generous with your time. Man, you must really like me haha. Let's do it.
I should start getting ready though. It's going to take me forever to pin up my hair. See you tonight, Jack.
