i lied

okay, so, I lied in one post on here, and I actually did fly that one day, to surprise-visit my boyfriend, Jesse.  

in Québecois French the word for boyfriend is 'petit ami' -- a direct translation meaning, 'little friend.'  I like that second one a bit better, I think.  

it was awesome because he flew out here to Vancouver to see me in July, and I thought I'd return the favour.  and he didn't even suspect!  thank goodness for the internet, his sister found me on here and we organized it, with silent loving (and surprising) hands.  or something like that.   

it was the best to see his facial expression, and then of course, to spend some time with him.  here is a picture of his sister's crazy dog, Buster.  it's a very fitting name, I think.  I am happy to have captured the slightly insane look in his eyes.  he pants really loud a lot, and yips around if you have food.  that is his friend 'Baby.'


it's been interesting to break up my summer into different chapters.  now, life post-flying-to-Michigan means I have less than two weeks left here in good ol' Van-city.  

my goal now is to be fully present in the moment, here, now.  we have two youth groups here, one from Edmonton and one from greater Vancouver area.  it is nice not to be surrounded by Americans who think I say 'house' and 'about' funny.  

but I am super excited to be back in Ontario.  I mean, I have so much to look forward to.  The Born Ruffians are playing in Toronto with The Acorn September 19th, the same weekend as Lolafest.  and Sufjan Stevens is actually touring this fall and will be playing in Toronto October 1st!  

holy smokes!

Yes, Yuan. But I would imagine that it is just not the same round about the house without you.
