Out of sheer necessity

I will post a summary of my week. Really, it has been a moderately eventful week as far as those things can be measured in Vancouver, since eventfulness here cannot compare to eventfulness at home. I have crossed over from where I was, am no longer stranded here. Instead, there is something I can't quite put my voice to, and it bothers me. I am not happy here. As I said to Ju, "Its not that there is anything bad, its just that there is nothing good."

So, onto summaries. Katie and I hit the sparsely populated bars on boxing day. It was open mike night, so that meant some bad wannabes and some great original lyrics. Our hands down favourite line? "You know you're doing it right when the neighbors complain" Damn straight sister. I was also told that I was intriguing... that's a new one. The next night my own neighbor was having a party, and I spent the night chatting with someone I hadn't seen in more than five years. Strangely, we really got along. He even called the next day. Alas, I was already on my way out the door, and he hasn't called since. Boys. That event I was on the way to was a joint birthday party, everyone drank too much (including me, but I'm a little better at knowing when 'too much' becomes 'too much for my body to hold on to'). Results? Endless gossip the next day. Managed to also catch up with Lawrence and Jess, and spent a very very laid-back new years eve with wine, chocolate and movies. SO great.

What else? Well news from the east has always been my favourite home-time pastime. Roomie has been sending me msn messages a fair bit, and although I've been warned to "Stay away from that boy" I cannot help but think that maybe Numoy is right in her prediction that we will 'd'. I'll move slowly on that regardless.

That's my story, that's my week. I cannot wait to get back to Montreal's icy streets... although the lowest forecast temperature is -17, and its currently only -4!! Yay! Perhaps this winter won't be so bad after all. Knock on wood.
