Well, I finally finished reading Blue Like Jazz, and I have to say that it was fantastic! Not at all what I expected it to be, which normally would mean it was awful, but I loved how fresh and in your face it was. And somehow I hadn't ever even heard of Reed, strange, I know. But now I want to visit it, just to say I've been there. I'll go to the library and do something... daring. I've turned my window into a bookshelf, I really like it here in the Saindon's house. Carolynn and Nicole, your house is awesome, I really don't think I could've found a better place to stay!
As for other updates, I really don't have too many. Despite my not wanting to, I'm going to have to get a cell phone, just to make it easier for the school board to get in touch with me for teaching in the mornings and such, in case I'm out for a few minutes. I'm also going to take a trip to Winnipeg, although I don't know when yet. Oh, and Elisha and I are going to get our noses pierced! One of these days she'll just up and ask me, and I'll say yes, and then I'll have a new little piercing. I'm so nervous, but in a good way!
I've come to the conclusion that within the next few years, I want to get out of here. By here I mean North America. I'm getting tired of having to put off all these plans. Unfortunately, there are responsibilities like school and future employment to consider. Hmph. Mom thinks I should just go, she supports me in wanting to go and learn the languages in a few of the native places, which would mean geting a work visa and spending approximately a year in each of the places. I'd get to make money to support myself (on top of what I'd have brought), learn the language, interact with the people and learn an unimaginable amount of cool things, and potentially find a wonderful husband with an accent to sweep me off of my feet. There are really no downsides!
On another note... I think "Shakespeare" is moving on. Which hurts a little bit, I sort of figured it would happen... once he left Snow Lake and I wasn't the only person around anymore, the feelings would wane. But it still hurts nonetheless. Maybe I'm wrong though, I guess we'll see. I'm just bloody sick of being the upgrade girl, the one you're with until something better shows up. It makes me want to refuse to date anyone, EVER. Claire, convince me to stay away from mankind, it'd really solve a lot of life's problems. :(

hmm ... so many comments where do I start? firstly, i didn't realize you hadn't read blue like jazz before! i sure hope you took notes ... 'cause now we finally have some literature in common to discuss! woohoo! and the reed thing totally never clicked, not a word of a lie they're here this week doing a presentation. one of my second years is there right now. the post they put in the caf said it was a "very liberal school requiring much self-discipline" so of course I had to cross it off my list :P anywho ... i'm sorry to hear about shakespeare. though i still don't understand how or why it happened ... we shall have quite a conversation at Christmas. anyways ... i think thats all I've got right now. lovely to get such frequent updates. later.
I love how much you blog! And your blogs are interesting to boot. Blue Like Jazz was awesome. You and Claire have inspired me to read it again I think. It's been a while for me. *hugs* Sorry to hear about the crazy English poet. I would say boys are poopy, but I know how much I hate it when people do that to me, so it's probably not a good idea. So, instead, *many many hugs*
well sad to hear about the Shakespeare.. frankly you won't just hear it from Claire to stay away from mankind... haha. I actually haven't read blue like jazz either... but I plan on it some day.. as soon as I get through with all the literature here during DTS. You would totally love doing a DTS because of all the reading involved!
But anyways, I love to hear that you are enjoying my home :) I am not, so someone may as well! Hopefully you are getting along somewhat well the felines. :P well I better toodle off.. we are getting ready for our local outreach next week, so they need help packing the kitchen up now. wonderful to hear from you and hurray for adding me to your "following list" on your blog :) it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside (not that the warm part has been an issue!) Many hugs and even more blessings!
PS I am glad you are getting tired of floating around town! Get out there girl! You have so much ahead of you.. just wait and see.
