    ops-- i usually read through to check my spelling-- when i respond i just make a clean breast of it until I get whats on my mind out and on the screen. I then reread and edit. I happened to press post before I did this-- sorry for any spelling/grammer. I'm assuming there will be.

    Also, I didn't get to finish!

    Hope all is going well for you.

    Peace and Love

    Joni Mitchille (a hippie canadian artist) who I listen to now and again sings about how chill Cali is. Also, there are a bunch of commercials adverising how great life is in California. I have not been, but I am planning to visit all of California one day, people say it's just amazing. Your going to have to keep me posted on your trip, it sounds like wicked fun!

    Just had a heart breaking moment: this guy I was into, I think, has a boyfriend. My head just dropped in dissapointment as they drank coffee in my shop-- LOL! I was so pathetic, it was a huge bubble-bursting-moment. Its funny 'cause I just met the guy too, ;P Besides this moment of so uncontrobaly humongous heart break I'm excellent :) I feel so happy, spring is in the air-- um... yeah...

    But whats new with you?

    By the way, check out raunchy sex poem by Allen Gingsberg called 'Please Master', I came across it the other day and I was like "wow". That man had some very, very naughty poems.

    Okay

    I'm so glad your waiting to start! That's so exciting!

    I'm excellent-- I'm going out for a run each day, something new to my exercise routine; have been reading a lot more; am enjoying the time I took off from my courses (I took one, only); am enjoying the possibility of making money this summer with the business; and the prospects of going across Canada for a road trip has me really excited; AND I did just smoke a big one.

    The ability to have patience is a sexy attribute: it's a rare, admirable, comforting ability that only Men who have self control display. I'm sure it is worth the wait.

    P.S.
    Sorry for the punctuations-- its all Virgina Woolf's fault--- I've just been reading her--- and I feel so free!

    OMG I LOVE PEN PALS! ...my geekyness shines through... re boyfriend: shit happens, i guess it wasnt meant to be, but thank you. Re opening coffee shop: yes, its pretty sweet but i hate losing sleep... thank god coffee is readily available! Part of why im so slow to respond is 'cause of the shop-- sorry.

    You worked at starbucks! thats pretty sweet. What prompted you to change from Starbucks to the pharmacy? Did you get the job, tell me when you do? Gah! I have to go and write a tun of papers now, so peace and love [3

    hope you the best on the job change!

    Omg! Havent been on in so long; many excuses: boy friend (now ex) visited me for two weeks, final exams, christmas break, the time needed to open a new bussiness (coffee shop/ice cream bar). Never the less am back on shelfarI, AND AM WRITING YOU! PLEASE FORGIVE, i hate being so tardy, tardy, tardy!

    I love studying, and understand the whole collage till you die; i feel the same, probably will do the same :) Asian countries are the shit, but i'm also up for africa-- when the polotics dies down (you still get hacked up into billion peices cause your white... or for being the wrong shade of black... but you know, not good times over there right now). So much more culture-- even than Europe, just not recorded. I hear you on living a modest life-- i'd be content as long as i could read write paint smoke weed have sex part and love and be loved. But im inclined to hippieness....

    Quebec always fights for independence and will ever get it but never stop trying.

    Vancouver is the shit, with so many awesome things its mind blowing.

    Hope you write back, sorry for taking so long to respo0nd... didnt forget about you, just didnt make the time-- which isnt much better--- so im sorry.

    Peace, love, hugs, kisses, squishes, and merry holiddays

    Oh- so you live in a conservative enviroment? how is that?

    College? What is the are of study? Where are you skipping out too? Paris? Amsterdam? Tokio? Beijing? Yellowknife? The United States isn't so bad, is it? Or do you have uncoventional values (like cannibalism, or eccentric paganistic rituals, or lliving as a liberated bohemian who is persuing an artistic passion)?

    It is fantastic that it is used for medical research! Huzzah!

    Quebec is french-- except Montreal- so is most of Ontario- except for Toronto. I don't speak a word, sigh. Quebecqouis french is icky-- much pref. to learn it in paris, if i ever decide too.

    Sufferage in high school is bad... :( :( :( boo to highschool sufferage!

    well-- yes gay marriage... but not really for the recreational use... like... YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO but as long as its only a few grams they usually dotn care... a lot of the time they pocket it. When i used to live in Ottawa (canda capital city) we would smoke dope on 4.20 on the parliment and nothing really happened... ... ... over 50 % of candians admit to doing weed once in their lives... meh....

    yay weed [3

    bc (where i am now living) people care even less, its just fantastic.

    sigh--- i can't beleive gay marriage is an issue in cali... you wouldn't think it would be... really... but then... you wouldnt think that the sinshine coast was a keener on the death pen. either. At least i wouldnt.

    Going to put some fire in my eyes. [3 peace [3

    lol! *blinks red eyes in suprise, kinda smiling. Isn't California going to be the first state to legalize Marijana? I don't know the details- is it for recreational use, or only medical?

    OMG you made my day by telling me about www.swaptree.com! I feel green; I feel economical; I realize how tangible my reading list is, with the use of the site! Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puff? What kind of read was that... re: no response of me sending you david s.'s book ...Souronded in Flames... do you want it? Will be happy to mail at the end of October. Its cool if not, you know, just an offer (though i get if you dont want to give some stranger your address online- hadn't thought of that before- and realizing that makes me wonder how safe I really am... XD ).

    Life of Pi i REALLY liked. I read it a few years ago, but it was awesome. His best work. He's a Canadian too, so i had to read him for class- contemp. Canadian Lit. -- maybe not the lightest of reads, however. Eat, Pray, Love? was just fluffy. I read it in on day, really didn't get that much out of it, except for a few laughs; It is a light hearted book about spirituality and i could relate with it, but if you arent a fan of Yoga, Eastern Philosophy, Easter Religions, travel, expeirenced depression than best avoid it. I hope that helps... sorry i was so long winded...! [3

    NO! You, actually, were really helpful. Thank you!

    Also, may I recommend David Sedaris's When You Are Engulfed In Flames? Just read it and I think you may find it an okay read. :)
