From fromthemill's Flickr. So much for updating regularly this year. I know I make journal posts in my mind, but then I get doing something and the need to write anything down sort of evaporates. The past couple of months have been busy in a good way, though. I finally feel like my social life is where I want it to be. I like being a hermit but it was getting to the point (in Toronto) where being alone stopped being enjoyable. Which is funny, because I just visited Toronto and realized that was ENTIRELY my own fault. I had such an awesome time in Toronto with my friends last week; I can't believe I spent two years blaming the city for my boredom. But now I am in Montreal, and though I haven't really had a chance to explore (moving in, starting a new school, the weather, my ability to make up excuses knows no end), I am pretty positive I will love it. And I have this brand new web (structure? network? something tangible) of friends that I've never been used to having before. I have close friends who live minutes away from me. Or they are moving here soon. And the ones who aren't will become so consumed with the guilt of not being here, they will break (I won't name names, PaHeathechael.) I'm also super close to Ottawa and my family. I was thinking about changing my LJ user name and, aside from not actually having the money to spend on something so ridiculous, I decided, fuck no! Raistlinette 4ever! I don't think I've ever mentioned it on here, but this name has been ridiculously life changing for me. The reason I have the greatest friends, the reason I listen to the music that I love, the reason I've lived in Toronto and Montreal. It seems so silly that something so small and weird has created my life. I thought it was good enough that it helped me create a set of online friends that I have grown up with (though we may not be as close now, I still love and think of all of you, and if you are ever in a bind, this trusty Canadian poptart will always bail you out) but it actually translated to all of the people I get to love in person, daily. Knowing I owe my life to something so dweeby is the best knowledge ever.
