I pulled up a barstool next to my longtime best friend yesterday, only to have her say "Oh my GOD, you'e gone emo! When did that happen?". I think she might have a point. Although, as I told her, it's not really something that happens overnight as it is something that you descend into slowly like alcoholism.
Either way, I'm too happy to care because I'm finally going on vacation! Yes, real vacation, with time off from work and everything! That makes it officially a first...not to mention it's the first real vacation I've had since I was 16.I spent a weekend in Vancouver a couple years back and it was just divine, but it was just a weekend, so I don't think that counts. Anyway, this one's for real. I'm headed out to Salt Spring Island for a week and I'm running off with Char1es' wife
I'm trying to avoid thinking about fall because it just stresses me out. I know I have to get around to furthering my education and I'm delighted to have the chance...but this is the first time I've EVER been happy with the way my life is going and I just don't want to mess with it yet. This feeling of knowing there are things I have to do but wanting to stay just a little longer where I am is fast becoming a theme for me (and it's really irritating).
My friend Chris is moving out to Montreal, so I'll be catching up with him this weekend before he goes. I'm kind of in shock, but it's great to see him moving forward. He's just decided that he's gone as far as he can in his current job and his current life. I have to say, I'm so impressed by his refusal to let things stagnate. He worked so hard for so long to get to where he is and he could easily coast for five or ten years now. This proves- among other things-that the boy has waaaaay more balls than I do. I have to admit I'm a wee bit crushed. I've always felt like he might actually be the perfect guy for me, but the timing has never been right. And as Erin always said, "if it's the right guy but the wrong time- it's not the right guy'. I think I somehow thought we'd hang around for a few years and then things would just click. Hmm.
Off to worky-work now. I have almost never had the opportunity to say this about my current job, but it's been a phenomenally shitty week. At least I'm almost done for the week.

Maybe next time we can meet in less professional terms.
