    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. :)
