Edmonton...the capital of Alberta. A multicultural social hub, filled with artistic people...and at least one guy who decided to serenade me with "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden at 10am on a Sunday morning on the LRT (public transit train). It was our first weekend in Edmonton (I had just finished my first week back at work) and I was meeting a friend downtown for brunch. I was planning on taking the train downtown as it is a pain in the butt to find parking down there.
So, as I am waiting for the train to come (15 minute wait between trains on the weekend) a guy, smelling strongly of some sort of alcohol stumbled up to me and managed to slur out "Yuuur the prettiest girl I have seen allllll day". My first thought, "Well damn...I am rocking this U Ottawa hoodie. Gee, I didn't even have to shower today to get this kind of attention". Win.
He then pulled out sheet music for guitar (no he doesn't have a guitar, and no...he doesn't know how to play guitar...yes I asked) and said "Which song do you want me to sing to you?" I answered with the only possible option of "Oh gee...well uhhmm...the train is probably coming soon...soo uhh...just pick your favourite and I will back away slowly".
He chose "Black Hole Sun" and began to sing loudly about a foot away from me.
Thankfully the train came about 10 seconds later. Thanks for the welcome back Edmonton...I can tell it is going to be a good few years.
