Toronto

Perhaps I've spoken of it before. It's been my wish to go back since I left last summer. We had a good family vacation there visiting our Canadian family. Fran and Jon are some of the coolest people ever. That's been my opinion since I was very little of course.

As I've mentioned before, It's important to me to keep that connection. Sometimes I feel guilty because I have no desire to have such a connection with my southern cousins. Generally once you cross a line with me, I won't forgive or forget.

Anyhoo, part one of my birthday gift will hopefully be a trip to Toronto. Hopefully I will be able to bring a friend as well. What awaits? Family gatherings, sarcastic artistry (Jon and I are the best and when we come together, we're very good with sarcastic jokes), clubbing, dancing, people watching, shopping, splendid dinners, intriguing conversation and...lots of fun and laughter.

Luckily I have learned my lesson with alcohol. Responsible drinking from now on.

Speaking of which, Katya pointed out the shot glasses in a tourist store. I wanted like 5 of them because they had lobsters on them and I love lobsters. No more shots of anything ever again though. No straight malibu, no T-word ever again. I think I would probably vomit if I was faced with doing a shot of pure alcohol. Never again.

However a mixed one might be a possibility, but that's not classy. Only drink such things in bars and clubs. I don't think I would though.

I asked Jared what he remembered from the 4th. I was super embarrassed when he said I just kind of started crying when I walked into the kitchen and then cried for a long time.

Live, learn, move on.
