Thank god I have boots now

Is there a supermarket of some sort around the area, Chels? I hope you have at least a better selection of food now. Have you met any of the people you're going to be working with (ie. that girl who you know that gets a ride from that guy?)

What's the weather like over there? Is it colder than Vancouver and is there snow? We just got another dump of snow today, just when it all seemed to be melting. I'm sure you brought enough clothes in case it's super freezing.

I saw the play version of It's A Wonderful Life down at Granville Island today with Maggie and Danny, and it was pretty good. Then I went downtown to meet a friend (from online) to see a movie, and we ended seeing Yes Man, the one with Jim Carrey, which was alright. We got some bubble tea before I headed home, only I really needed to use the bathroom, and at Broadway station, there aren't any public bathrooms, but there are a bunch of stores and restaurants. I was so desperate I went into McDonald's but didn't want to buy anything to use their washrooms so I went to A&W instead, and bought some onion rings. As I went to finally go pee, there was a sign on the door: OUT OF ORDER. Damnation. So I got my onion rings and went to the bus stop in the hopes of holding it in and peeing at home...

which eventually I did, after waiting half an hour for the bus. I was so pissed off... and then my mom phoned and lectured me about how it was my fault for coming home so late (
even though it was only 10:30!!!!) and of course the snow would make it difficult for the buses to run, which didn't seem to affect the other 4 or 5 buses running across the street!!! Argh.

Anyway. Was anybody else sore after playing Twister? I was... and the next morning too. haha

Good to hear you're doing alright, Chels. Keep warm everyone!
