And thus begins a few hours of sitting online..

It's raining outside. granted, nothing as fancy as a monsoon that you would find, say, in Chiang Mai. but, it's raining. and it's super dark outside. it makes me realize just how long it's been since i've seen the dark - and how i feel like it being completely dark would freak me out. it's odd how it being light 24 hours a day didn't even phase me - and how the reappearance of the dark is something that is startling - and even unwelcome. i think it's mainly this dark because of the rainy cloud cover. tonight has been a low key evening and i'm presently waiting to meet up with the casino crew who get off at 2:30. (am). how i'm ever going to readjust to actual mornings and sleeping in the evening is beyond me. jamie and her roomies went to bed already so i'm up for the next hour and a half looking for stuff to do. after this i might just go chill at the pit and watch the band - even though i've seen them the last 2 nights, i know i'll miss Harmonica George and the crew once i don't have them anymore. jamie and i have set a tentative leaving dawson date for the 22nd of august. tentative i say because it could change. both of us are probably going to have a really hard time leaving - and it'll be really emotional. i just can't picture driving away from this - and possibly never coming back. especially when i've met so many great people who are trying to convince me to stay - but i've decided my bills outweigh the money i would make (which isn't much) so i need to go back.  plus, after being away from victoria for a year i do want to go back. i guess the most exciting thing i have to report is that i got the new harry potter book this morning, but am presently reading "Me talk pretty one day" by David Sedaris which is an absolutely hilarious book that i definitely recommend.  Oh yeah - and to all you people who actually read this - post a comment or something so i actually know you're out there! this is a two way street you know hehe

anyway i'll leave you all now with this final thought -

"if you tie your dog up on the grass, please clean up after it...'

have a good one.
