And I've been having a hard time getting around to writing in here. So maybe if I make it letters to Norman these days it'll give it clearer structure or something?
We'll see.
Dear Norman,
I can't believe we've been apart more than a month already. This seems unreasonable. I'm not really interested in continuing our separation.
I guess the only upside is that this month has passed quickly and maybe that means that the next two months (and a bit) will go quickly.
Things are excellent around here.
Hockey is finally back (as you well know!) and Carla Ghee and I went to Hoops on Sunday to watch our sweet little darling babies. I had almost forgotten just how funny Carla Ghee and I are while watching hockey. It's like hockey is built for us to make jokes about/during/because of. I don't know what it is but I liiiike it. We were joined by her main man a little later on and DON'T WORRY, he's still a handsome fuck. And Carla Ghee is just as beautiful as they day I first laid eyes on her.
I'm working so, so, so much. No, that's not as true as it was before Christmas, but I'm busy. Very busy.
I'm doing the second level of the longform improv program at the Second City training centre and I'm loving it very much. Well, some weeks. Some weeks it's very hard. But the hard parts usually end in me being eeeeven better.
I'm at a place with my improv right now where I think I could be genuinely excellent at it if I had the time and money to devote myself to it full-time. I mean, if I didn't work evenings and instead took a couple of classes a week, saw shows allll the time, and did at least one show, maybe more (yes, this is how improvisers live. all improv all the time.) then I think I'd be great. I don't have that luxury right now, unfortunately.
I'm still good, though. Better than ever, really. With minor ups and downs.
London and Paris so, so soon! I'll be back from there when you're back. It'll be over so quickly.
I've started slightly panicking about how it'll be the best thing in my life and how then I'll want to devote myself to travel and I'll want to never come home. I hope I don't get overwhelmed by melancholy while I'm there, just thinking about how many I'll never be able to go back.
Of course I'll go back. I might as well travel the world!
I'm just on the cusp of getting to be excellent at so many things, I'm not worried, really.
I've also been working quite hard lately (and in the last couple of years) to not be someone who wallows in sadness or stays down for longer than necessary. I love being sad, don't get me wrong, but there's no point to it so much of the time!
I was thinking about traveling a bit around Europe, not just seeing London and Paris but now I'm leaning towards spending most of my time in just those two. I'd like to have a chance to really wander around a see a bit of it. I don't want to have to rush about. I won't, in fact! I won't rush about. I've been spending lots of time looking at possible hostels and air b'n'bs. I think I'll end up getting an air b'n'b in Paris. I like the idea of staying in an apartment, and every hostel I looked at had at least one really neg review. I'm not uptight by any means, and I'm probably the least germophobic person I know, but I will want some time alone and a door to close, I bet.
I love being by myself.
I've been weeping over my excitement. Which is good. Anticipation is 9/10s of enjoyment. Something like that!
This is the air b'n'b I'm leaning towards: https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/566341, it's up 7 flights of stairs and has only a squat toilet in the upstairs hallway! hahaaahaaa amazing?!
Hmmmm. I've got to get started planning the bachelorette party and bridal shower for my best friend, Violet. She's getting married in May and that's also so soon and I really want her to have the most excellent time but also she has no interest in planning this sort of thing plus she's a busy lawwwwyyyyer so she doesn't have all day.
It's pleasing because having all this to plan and the wedding coming up and everything is making sure we talk to each other and hang out sometimes, which it seems we never get to do enough.
I love her and she's going to be such a pretty little bride, I'll probably just try to marry her myself.
Just kidding?
I watched two romantic comedies tonight and my roommate, Cpt. Heh, made me dinner. Then my other roommate, Turkey Bird, came home with TWO gluten-free treats she shared with me. Above waffles are from Cpt. Heh a few days ago. My roommates have been bringing me so many treats it's like having several boyfriends who are excellent because they mostly leave me to my own devices and don't mind if I text babes all day.
Why is my life so excellent?
Dunno, man.
Also, Cpt. Heh told me that he likes my current hairs better than any of these wigs that I spent too much time trying on at work. Awwww. If this were a romantic comedy Cpt. Heh and I would fall in love. I think it's a bit because you're away, Norman, that I've been extra into hanging out with Cpt. Heh. I need more boy-time!! Also I love Cpt. Heh so, so much. I always forget how funny he is. Really a riot.
I probably have, like, a billion things to tell you but I'm running out of time but I do like this format for right now, so maybe I'll be inspired to blog more! (probably not)
Anyway, I miss you Norman (and everyone else who is reading this) and I hope you are well (same to you, other readers).
Oh yeah, also, this is a dog I met and she belongs to our friends who I forget what they are nicknamed on here but they are handsome boys who date each other and kind of look alike. She's soooooo cute like a muppet and her name is Patsy.
I'm really into dogs lately. Don't let me forget to walk Kaya tomorrow!
Byeeeeee
