okay, so yesterday i wrote a whole chunk of stuff to post on the blog and the silly wireless network in the hostel decided to conk out on me. so what did i do at 2am? hair wet from shower, eating cereal (smorz, really mmm good mil you should try it) directly out of the box and drinking instant milo - three students from tufts uni invite me to play poker and i do, with fake chips and all. i know how to play texas hold em' now! haha.
in any case. am in the second cup.... some cafe just two minutes away from my lovely hostel in the heart of old montreal in montreal, canada. i'm drinking cappucino and eating toffee crunch cookies as i write this, joe's reading the newspaper opposite me and is getting irritated at my lack of priorities because we're supposed to be using the cafe's internet to book our accomodation at some youth hostel in quebec city, which is our next destination. but i insist on waxing lyrical about montreal and its sights and my experience here so far... it's been utterly beautiful and everyone speaks french it's like being in france. a total culture shock, especially when people who obviously are chinese stroll down the street next to you conversing fluently in french. damnnit. i wanna be able to speak fluent french tooooo. the hostel is wonderful. free laundry and brightly colored linen everywhere... glass doors that open into the carpentry-like woodpanelstrewn courtyard with what looks like a torn-apart train carriage. i could stay and work here forever, meeting so many different people. last night went out to a local pub to drink with two guys from georgia, atlanta (UGA) and two guys from sweden. we're gonna be cooking tonight at the hostel, maybe chinese food cos' i still have bak kut teh with me. hahaa. life's fun. okay okay joe's getting on my back again. we're supposed to be at the hostel waiting for the americans to get back from returning their rented bikes. bleah. will do more describing later. ta juice.susceptible had time to talk trash at 7:08 AM

august 2014. how time flies! i still feel like i have so much more growing up to do. :)
funny how life changes forever with the most miniscule of happenings. the startled meeting of two surreptitious glances in the mirror, the sudden dangled offering of purchase of free flight. the thin results slip, the inconspicuous admissions letter. the bad phone call, a moment's folly of taking advantage of someone. the last thoughtless caustic remark that pushes a strained friendship over the edge. i love/hate life. and i know it's a loan. archiveblog.

here are the results of my aimless wanderings throughout endless cyberspace. limited in scope but thoroughly interesting, i guarantee.
