The Eastern Townships

[hells_half_acre]

I had a nice visit with my friends (A. & M.) this weekend over in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. My French has gotten worse since my best friend moved away...two years ago now, I guess. I still understand most of it alright though - I'm an illiterate mute in French, but I can still understand it for the most part.

I like hanging out with these particular friends, because I originally met them while I was in Germany. Which means that, like my best friend, we can have conversations in an odd mixture of three languages as if that's how everyone talks.

The Eastern Townships are beautiful, but there isn't much to do there. Plus, it was raining the whole time. So, we just hung out - joked and laughed.

I saw Fired Up. Oh man, that movie is funny. I am not ashamed to admit that I enjoyed it immensely. It was the first time I have ever seen Danneel Harris in anything, and my belief that she is a female version of Jensen still stands.

I just got an instant message from M. saying "A. misses you, and keeps singing 'Come Back to Texas' by Bowling for Soup."

Aww...sometimes I don't really want to move to Vancouver, but its not like I'd be making the 5 hours trip to the Eastern Townships that often anyway. I just wish my friends didn't all live so far away from me...and I sort of wish that I wasn't moving even farther away. But, despite the fact that Vancouver is probably going to ruin me financially, I still think it's the best move in terms of being happier in general.

Ha, don't be too impressed, I'm still a damn Anglo (as any French-Canadian will attest), and I haven't spoken German in 5 years, so it's gotten really bad.

Apparently there are no songs about coming back to Ontario/Quebec, so we have to make due with songs about Texas :P How typically Canadian of us.

LOL! Well, here's a random story for you. I once met a Canadian girl in TX and asked her why she moved there. She said she wanted to go somewhere different. The closest country was the states, but she didn't really like the states. Then someone told her Texas was like a whole nother country. So she came to Texas. TRUE STORY!! XD

Haha, cool. I was told that about Arizona once too. I also don't really like the states, but my friend went down to Arizona and absolutely loved it. Mind you, he had a big gay love-affair down there, so I always thought he was a little biased :-P

Well, I think that's the thing. I really like LA and most people think it's a terrible place. But I have friends there and every time I go I have fun with them. So, I guess it's all a matter of perspective!
