So You've Finally Decided on Becoming Canadian Eh?

OK, for those regular readers, I know I have forgotten about the pictures from Christmas I said I was going to post. I will get to that ASAAAP, or As Soon As Assessments Are Past (we are in exam week at school and there is a lot of marking and report cards to get done; there is also a lot of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 to be played).

As the last vestiges of my Hippy-West-Coastisms are slowly rotted away by living in Ontario, centre of all things Canadian (just ask them), I'm reminded of the few things that my Vancouver up-bringing still encourages me to do: car-pool, recycle, buy Lululemon paraphernalia.... But the one thing that I can no longer do is claim that I don't really partake in any type of wintry sport. I understand that plenty of people in Vancouver love winter sports (duh, we are hosting the Winter Olympics), but I never really found the need for winter sports in Vancouver because you can basically do summer sports all year round there.

My curling league starts this weekend. I am a little nervous since I have basically only ever thrown about 25 rocks in actual games, bu the people who recruited me seem to think that I am not a total waste of time and are intent on winning this year. I hope not to fall too many times or break something important.

On another note, I would like to applaud all those people who have gotten married and spent countless hours on invitations and guest lists. Why can't we just invite everyone, and call them on the phone? Wouldn't that be a lot easier?

Speaking of easier, Donna has a string of 5 night shifts in a row coming up. Now if that doesn't sound like a good time I don't know what is. While she is doing that, I get to be sleeping. This is why some people are meant to be doctors and others aren't. Juts think about that the next time you go into the Emergency Department at your local hospital and start yelling at a Dr. because you dissatisfied with your level of care. Maybe they are dissatisfied with your level of patience/patients.

Stay Frosty.
