Hello,
I’m in the middle of my big work rush! Not only am i working long days, but I’ve decided to slap a sewing class into the mix every tuesday night and my knitting class on wednesdays. I’m tired a lot. At least it’s going well at work. I’ll post some pictures up of the changes that we’re making. I’m pretty excited to see what it’ll all amount to.
I spoke to Jill this week. She’s now living in Edmonton. Connor’s looking for a job. She’s writing her thesis. She actually really loves Alberta. Who would’ve known that a liberal vegetarian hippy would take such a turn in her late 20s. I guess that that goes for all of us. Except for Eric, he’s just going to go be a bigger hippy in Victoria. It’s just such an odd time in our lives. Isa’s moving to a condo in Outremont with her friend Koa. Celine’s moving in with Rudy. Jill and I were talking about how we are all doing or looking for jobs that are not our ideal dreams, but instead the place we go to to make money to fulfill our dreams. I sometimes feel like a sell-out working somewhere that is so cushy, but the truth is that it’s allowing me to be able to do more. What did we used to do? I can’t remember, but was it easier? Shitty restaurant, retail, or evil telemarketing jobs to be able to travel, pay rent, eat and drink. It’s not so different. I guess that our tastes are more expensive now. We don’t sleep under bridges when we travel now. No more hitch hiking; planes, cars, trains now. We don’t want to pay rent, we want to buy houses and condos. Even food is different, my cheeseburgers and snickers days are over. So is drinking pitchers of bad cheap beer. Are we growing up for the best? Or are we becoming yuppies? I guess this is exactly what a quarter life crisis feels like. I’m just scared of becoming my parents.
I can’t wait to see you. We’re going to eat so much that weekend. By the way the 14th of June is World Wide Knitting in Public Day. It’s going to be at Parc Lafontaine. I’m going to stop by for a couple of hours if you’d like to join in on the fun. Bring your mom! In Toronto, it’s gonna be crazy. It’s the yarn harlot’s 40th birthday bash in combination with this knitting celebration. But forget Toronto. You’re gonna be in Montreal!!! So exciting: Sex and the City, knitting, Aux vivres, Pushaps?, dancing…what else do you want to do? Stay all week! I’ll take it off.
