Happiness: sitting on a couch on a Sunday evening with a few friends, cuddling under some blankets, listening to some Christmas music while watching a video of a fire place.

Hearts. Love. Happy.

I had an awesome day today. Tidal Impact Reunion! None of the older people that I was tight with made it out, but most of the younger ones did. I forgot how much I loved them, since I haven't seen them since that week in July. Our groups still have that really comfortable atmosphere, like we're old friends.

We all had a grand time. I love being around different people for a change. We went on a photo scavenger hunt uptown, hung out in Tim Hortons, played Mafia (Moses' deadpan death stories were the best), ate meat/meat/meat/meat pizza cooked by Dan (who, being a firefighter, should probably have prevented the grease fire in the oven...) and practiced music for tomorrow's service.

I <3 those people so much.
Love,

8 Tracks playlist: Popular songs from a few years ago played on strings. Hearts love.

Folklore, accents and slippery flowers: My life

 I went to the Post-Secondary fair yesterday. I almost got left behind by the school bus, but realized the room was about three hundred kids short before it was too late.

Now I get to shuffle through a bunch of universities' attempts to steal my soul. Woot for trying to make decisions.

And did you know that you can major in Folklore at Memorial? I kid you not.

Oh, and here's my Halloween costume, made out of a flower shaped sleeping bag:

The trick-or-treaters found me sitting in a chair directly in front of the door, dressed as a flower, blasting dubstep (especially this little ditty) and attempting to keep my laptop from sliding off my lap due to the slippery fabric.

It's beginning to look a lot like... Christmas?

My coffee cup, which appeared in my office this summer. I liked it so I took it.

My deck this morning.

 People have begun mentioning Christmas shopping, winter coats are in stores and the first snow has/is falling. Winter is nearly upon us.

Yeah for mittens, socks, tea, hot chocolate, blankets, scarfs, knit sweaters, Christmas music, trees, fresh snow, coziness and snow days.

Neigh for bulky coats, -15 degrees (C) temperatures at the bus stop, shoveling, snow banks, bulky boots, slush, ice, getting out of bed in the cold, February, winter weight, and inconvenient blizzards.

I find myself being excited about winter this year and I don't really know why. I want nice, flaky snow. I want to wear my growing second hand sweater collection. I want to curl up under a blanket and watch movies. Usually I have more an attitude of disdain of cold temperatures.

What do you guys like/dislike about winter?
Love,
-J-
