POST #801!!!

yay!

anyways...

omigosh joanne! that's so scary!!! but you're a fine, mature woman so you will be great! though i will miss you :( hope you're feeling better!

ann! finally a post (i wonder if you will read this...)!!! jeez. anyways, you are totally not spending christmas alone!!! when i first read "so it turns out that i'll be spending christmas alone" i thought you meant your parents and oliver were all going away!!! and i felt really bad for you. then i read the next sentence and i got annoyed... how dare you get pity from me on such false pretenses!!! arrrrg. we should hang out so you won't be lonely!

lily, how are you? i feel like i haven't talked to you in forever... i hope school is going well and you're not too stressed! what did you and jon do on your anniversary? did you eat cake?

aarie, you know if i didn't have exams at the time, i would TOTALLY go to your audition with you (well, not like in the room with you because that would be really really awkward and stupid but you know what i mean) in a second, right? (i was secretly thinking about it.) i am so incredibly excited for you! i know you can do it!!! i hope you're practicing..!

so, to all: aaron and i got jobs at van deusen garden's festival of lights at the concession stand (i am sooooo stoked!). we get to sell hot chocolate and food and KETTLE CORN!!! and i also got a call from the bay oakridge today and i got a job there too! i am so crazily excited right now... i've been really stressed this whole term because of co-op and whatnot, but now that i have a co-op job and have my housing arrangements somewhat figured out and my seasonal jobs are all ready to go so i'm just so totally elated.

lily and ann, when are your exams over? and joanne, when are you leaving, again? (the 18th?)

miss you all (except aaron..! i miss you less because i just saw you... sorry),

ps- ann, if you read this, i posted on the blog way back when and i don't know if you saw it, but i am going away to the okanagan for four months starting in january (for co-op). my (mild) annoyance was probably stemming from the fact that you were complaning about being "alone" even though you are not really going to be at all and i will soon be leaving everyone i love the most for the next four months. and it totally kills me and everytime dan and i talk about the new year i start bawling because i won't be back until may, and maybe not even then (depending on where i get a job during the summer, i might not be back to vancouver until august/september!) and, aside from a random girl i met at school (who is very nice though i don't really know her...) i really am going alone... without my parents, siblings, friends, or dan. i see dan every day now (and next month is our three year anniversary) but once i leave, i won't see him until reading break at the earliest. so not to make your feelings invalid or anything, ann, but this christmas, although you may be lonely (and understandably so), you are hardly alone. (you've got us!!!)
