I'm just going to post a pic of me looking unshowered and not very happy about the official end of spring break to do a paper. -.-

Oh.... DAMNNN!!!!

Montreal, Quebec. I live in a major Canadian city situated right on the island in the middle of the St. Lawrence River. Too bad the island doesn't come with sandy beaches and hot sun seeing that we still have over a foot of snow on the ground and it's March now. It's Canada's second largest metropolis (3.9 million) and has some things that you do not find anywhere in North America due to Montreal's French roots and history. It ranks high in quality of life and it's known for its joie de vivre, a laid-back attitude in life (as they say, people live in Toronto to work whereas the Montrealers work just to live). This is my apartment. I live on the second floor of the red-bricked building with the white staircase. It's in the heart of Villeray, a working class neighbourhood about 5-6 kilometres from downtown.

It's not our fault that the states have been very shoddy at this sort of enforcement since the dawn of online purchasing, which has been ongoing for like 10-15 years now. 9-10% is something I would love to pay now since I have to deal with 5% GST (federal tax) PLUS 8.5% TVQ (Quebec sale tax) on top of the total after GST. So, the combined taxes are at 13.925%, not 13.5%. Oh sod off Quebec. Then if you go to Europe, it's not too hard to find countries with 20% -/+ sale taxes, but they're already included in the price and not calculated at the register. I wonder for a long time why the US and Canada cannot include them in the price (apart from alcohol and gas) so I don't have to figure out if I should pay a bit more or not on some goods. It would save us a bit of time and it would tell us what we should have the right to know before going to the cash... knowing the final price. And saving me some trouble saying "sorry, darn... I'm missing a nickel". Oh yeah, I know why... it would make goods look "more expensive", something the retailers would be so opposed, so that's why sale taxes aren't included in the prices here and in the States. But what's the point? It would be a bit more expensive anyways at the cash. A retarded logic.

To everyone: What do you think I have been doing all of my reading week and birthday? Reading week/birthday end today. fête* Yes, I love .gifs.

I've missed you, min härskarinna.

Hi. I speak French.

LOL I have no words... Gotta love the Turnpike.

Eventually many students will end up developing a mix of print and cursive because it's a bit slow to do in print. I still think it's still penmanship because handwriting is still an art for an individual to develop over time without realizing it and we still rarely find a handwriting that is the same for two persons. Just because many people of my generation don't write like the cursive alphabet cards over the blackboard during grade three or official scrip in the books or even like our grandparents, it doesn't mean it's not penmanship. Printing is writing. There is no "or" in it.

As a resident of Canada, I am revoking your right to complain about the "wintry" weather. Wildone is obviously exempted. This is what I have to live through for a few months: Tonight: -12C (9F) Tomorrow: -10C/-16C (13F/2F) (-25C/-13F windchill) Saturday: -14C/-20C (6F/-4F) (-23C/-9F windchill) Sunday: -19C/-24C (-2F/-11F) Monday: -19C/-25C (-2F/-11F) Tuesday: -9C/-17C (15F/0F) Wednesday: -5C/-13C (22F/8F) (Yay, a heatwave!)

Just die with a bomb in your mouth.

What's wrong with those (maybe except with the term "bust" for "burst")? It's called linguistic evolution and it's always ongoing even we don't notice that much. Just saying that this is a poor example for a language freak like me as they aren't hallmark of "poor education".

Cam... UNFFF!!!! I have no words... Just a few seconds of primitive throaty sounds produced immediately upon viewing the photos. Love the shirt btw.

Fact about my table: it has a wrench built into it.

Got myself a shirt and tie. First time ever in my life I tied a tie... And it took be 30 minutes. ¬¬ I look fabulous, so I'm wearing it to school tomorrow. I like. Erm... Hi, I'm Jack and I'm very friendly. o_o

Oh you need some loving from me considering how much I have flirted with your boyfriend. I just don't want you after me with a knife.

It's illegal in Quebec and I know why. Just don't do it. I try to do it when I'm at a stop light but stop once I have to go. The person can wait. Otherwise, pull over. Some drivers have a bat in the trunk, so you don't want to provoke them. Yeah, that's Montreal driving.

*notes* That day I will tell my roommate's redheaded girlfriend to get in the kitchen and make me some bacon egg english muffins.

Maybe you two should help me finding a fitting costume there considering that you already have seen me sans shirt and almost sans jeans.

I was talking about westerly winds, which always goes at the same direction for mid-northern and mid-southern hemispheres: west-to-east. Northern Queensland and the Northern Territory usually have trade winds, which go east-to-west due to their close location to the equator.

Mainly because my idea how the winds flow around would be generally over the continent, drying up, and getting some rain once they hit the east coast (not always a lot of moisture to reach the coastal lands past the Great Dividing Range before going over the ocean). Then I looked on the wind map that east-to-west winds do go over northern Queensland and the Northern Territory, unlike the rest of the country as they get east-to-west winds. So I just got the weather patterns all mixed up a bit. I did know about the monsoons and tropical weather do exist in Australia, but I always though they're limited to the extreme ends of Queensland and the Northern Territory only (like Darwin and Cape York Peninsula). That's why I'm surprised that southern parts of the state could be hit with so much water. Oh winds are what steer the storms as it would be almost impossible for storms to go east-to-west against the west-to-east winds and vice versa.

A question that the newspapers here never seen to address... How the hell Australia could get that much rain?! It's a mostly semi-dry country you know... :? EDIT: Never mind... o,o This is a pretty shitty time for people over there and a hard lesson that "it doesn't happen at my house" mentality for them supposedly. :S

haha I was only teasing. I wouldn't care... It's just get me confused for a mere second once I find out it's not me. Frostina... Maybe I got a long-lost cute sister? Maybe our dad Father Winter didn't tell us something?

Long live paper though. Just because I say so.

Please don't use my two well-established nicknames to someone else. It confuses me and the others. (Nothing really personal Frostina).
