early morning blues

hey guys

since no one has really updated too much (aside from the usual bits of lily and me), i decided to spice things up and give a thorough account of my life.

jas keeding.

emm... so yesterday dan and i went to aaron's house. we put together a puzzle. but yeah. we had a homework hour (or so) and had dim sum with aaron's mom and grandma (just awkward. very) and later kem came over and we all had japanese food and played "life" (kem brought it). aaron won but i was second!!! but not very close.

lily, i guess it depends on when your brother finds a place, right? like if it's at the very end of the month that might be distracting for you to have to pack up everything and stuff, but if it's earlier in the month, it might be fun (right?)! that's exciting. where do you think you're gonna move into? (like which neighborhood?) you have the opportunity to get close to someone else other than ann (physically)!!! not that you don't know what neighborhoods we live in or something, but i'm going to list them anyways, along with pros and cons of each (because i am waiting for it to be time for me to go to school and have about 30 mins to go):

format will be...
friend (neighbourhood)
+ pros
- cons

chels (dunbar/soundlandsish almost)
+ chels
+ nice people
+ close to school, easy to bus places (dt, school, jon's, etc)
+ close grocery store, coffee places, theatre, etc
+ close to chels in case you get any more power outages
+ fewer power outages
- hmm... maybe too close to chels

joanne (ubc campus)
+ joanne
+ extremely close to school
+ easy access to libraries, gym, etc
- expensive!!! (twice dunbar, i think. i looked some places up because i have to do that when people mention housing... bad impulse. i waste time when i'm tired -- it's actually kind of ridiculous. although if you need some ideas of where to go, let me know... though i'm sure your brother has it under control. just saying, just in case.)

ann (kerrisdale)
+ ann
- kind of boring/not new place
- kind of weird since your house will be pretty close by...
- lots of old people

aaron (ALL OF THE ENTIRE EAST SIDE OF VANCOUVER)
+ aaron, and kem when he stays over
+ short travel time for bi-monthly games night
+ may be a bit cheaper
- most furthest from everyone (except aaron) and it takes the longest to get to school
- east side
(just kidding! nothing wrong with *makes E motion with hand*)

dan (west point grey) ... i know dan isn't officially a blog member but i just need more neighbourhoods!
+ safeway is near, as is top ten produce
+ lots of good restaurants nearby if you don't want to cook
+ everything is within a two block radius
+ about as close to ubc as you can get without being on campus
+ another way to be close to chels
- may be expensive? haven't really found anything on pricing but i'm guessing
- may be lots of students that make you angry. i don't know why, just randomly saying.

joyce (marpole) ... again, not a blog member but needing more 'hoods
+ near to sister in case of emergency/need of food or something?
+ kind of convenient for school purposes
+ i think there are a lot of things nearby, ie safeway, etc?
- maybe so close to joyce that it will be weird because you're not staying with her
- maybe a bit far from school/everyone?

so there you have it.

of course, you could always just stake out your own neighbourhood... but yeah. i don't know. i know your brother probably is also a big deciding factor on where you stay, just thought i'd make a list for you. not for any real practical purpose, but just so you can imagine what it would be like to live near us. (me)

okay, have to go to school soon now (finally).

oh yeah i'm going to the doctor today but i'm sad and don't want to because i have many ailments and am scared the doctor will get mad at me for going for more than one thing but i can't help it because i was busy and it all just added up.

due to this, i may be calling some people for moral support. just to warn.

-chels!!!
