Going to Port Dover tomorrow for Friday the 13th biker rally, going to be fun.
White and Red 'till I'm cold and dead.

In Days of yore,
From Britain's shore
Wolfe the dauntless hero came
And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada's fair domain.
Here may it wave,
Our boast, our pride
And joined in love together,
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined,
The Maple Leaf Forever.
Just got about 5+ outfits from local second hand stores. If I had gone to a department store, I probably could've gotten about 1 or 2 items of clothing for the amount of money I spent.
Yay for thrift stores!

I love thrift stores but I can't ever find any pants that fits me. I always wear really odd pant sizes and I'm not willing to hem my jeans. Ugh.

I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

I have never been across the way
Seen the desert and the birds
You cut your hair short
Like a shush to an insult
The world had been yelling
Since the day you were born
Revolting with anger
While it smiled like it was cute
That everything was shit.

"Winter". Haha. I just checked your weather. You're one degree warmer than me.
Miss volcaniclastic... I feel as though your perspective on winter may be uniquely skewed..... You should go someplace warm and lie naked on the beach.... That'll loosen you up
But they were doughnuts of darkness. Evil damned doughnuts, tainted by the spawn of darkness.... Which could obviously only be redeemed by passing through the fiery inferno of my digestive tract.

I was on the bus coming home from getting groceries. The ride was about 5 minutes long. I sat at the front so I could get off right away. Sat next to a nice little old lady yapping on and on...about Jesus...to the 2 poor young people across from her. They were at this point all glassy eyed. I don't think I ever heard her breathe. She was nice. Happy. Joyful in how Jesus forgives and all that 'loving Christian talk'. I'm sitting right next to her and so I just start looking over at her to listen. She's happy. She starts looking to me as well. Smiling that wonderful granny smile that makes you think she's gonna give you some candy from her purse.
She is talking and talking and looks to me for approval of what she is saying *since the poor couple across from her are about to teeter off into a Jesus induced coma* and I say blankly 'I'm an atheist'. As in to say don't look to me! I'm just listening. In a blink of an eye she turns from me and keeps right on gabbing away. Not a blip in the radar as far as anyone is concerned.
But I saw it. In that blink of her turning away from me, her mask of love slipped and I saw the true face. I wasn't human. I was nothing. Worse then that it was that look in her eye. I was a bug and she wanted to look away. She had disgust on her face. Only I caught it. But I did catch it
And that is how I continue to stay an atheist 28 years later.

I just worked 10 hours and it's raining... I didn't notice any of those things.... My goodness it's damp here in bed.... I think I left the windows open, so I guess there it is...

Yeah no doubt our winter is pathetic. We get frosts occasionally. Dont usually drop to less than 2 below, and thats at 4am. Its been a slow start to winter too, late May was still in the mid 20's.
Problem is though, that we don't do winter here. Its not a thing people take seriously. Houses are not built properly. My house is also a metre off the ground, so the floor is always cold. I have one dodgy little electic heater in my loungeroom, that does nothing. We also don't learn how to dress properly here either. Im still putting on tshirts, and its nearly yule.
Id prefer our summer, with your winter, and a house thats built properly.
Well maybe not your winter V, but a real winter.

I have an Aussie mate who loves winter there but hates summer with a vengeance.
Nah, I like it hot!!! I like sleeping/being naked. Summer is for me.
