je veux ecrire quelque chose en francais, mais c'est difficil parce que mon clavier n'est pas en francais et je ne veux pas prendre une heure pour checher les accents.

so i'll write this bad boy in english. i like that i'm blogging a bit more now. not consistently, really. not yet. but more than i have in a couple years. it's nice to build up the ideas for a few days (ok, weeks) and then spit them out. or sit down and hammer something out really quick. long story short, i'm enjoying this blog thing again. even if it isn't as important to me as it was when i first got it going. i'm still going to find a new space before i go to china. i thought the china blog would be a travel blog, but really it'll be a life blog. my life will be in china. that's an interesting thought.

i'm home from nova scotia. i wish i could define all the ways that being there changed me, but it's impossible. it was easily the best thing i could have done and not because of the french, although the french was awesome, but because of the place and the people and what it did to me. believe it or not (i know you believe it), i'm not very good at letting people in or creating relationships and social situations make me all kinds of awkward. but it was different there and i came away from it with a gazillion new friends, 4 or 5 that i consider to be good friends, really good friends, and just a new perspective. i would like to rewind time and go back there. any day of the week, and week of the session, it was all just so fucking good. but no can do so i'm just trying to be all zen and focus on how grateful i am for the experience. and that is a whole lotta grateful.

anyway. that's all for now. i have a gazillion chores to get done, a gazillion trips to take (think: edmonton, vancouver, saskatoon, coeur d'alene, china), and a serious sleep debt i need to repay. this will be the first wednesday in six weeks that i won't be totally annihilated drunk, my body is thankful but my mind is not.
