I love life.

I am so behind on internet life yet again. I will catch up to my friends list soon. I apologise!

Too many things going on yet again. Ok....just going to type, not think.(excuse the typos)

I moved out last night. I am living with a great friend and a new friend. It is temporary as I am subletting another friend's room while she is on tour. I do not have plans to move back home because by the time I move out here I hope to have a place IN Vancouver more permanently.

This house already has me ecstatic.
Talking till 2 a.m. telling stories of first loves, lovers, past and present. parental woes and occupational hazards. joys and sorrows. lessons learned. the talks of friendship. of my generation. of people my age.
acting my age.
not alone.
same values, good people, creative minds, interesting souls.
i love taking chances on new roomates and coming out the other side with yet again more bestest friends.

people who WANT to live with me, not have to live with me.

being excited to simply BE.

drinking mugs of tea, glasses of wine, watching movies, studying, sharing stories, laughing together at pictures on facebook, cleaning, talking, sharing......and i only moved in last night....

had my 24th birthday on friday.
lots of friends

meeting a new friend
she has read my lj for a year and a half. totally unbeknownst to me. but know she is where i was. and she wants to live.
she wants to know what its like to live.
willing to give anything to breathe.
she is me.
so wonderful to meet another kindred spirit.
she said she felt like she knew me. she does.
but now i feel like i know her too.
i've been there.
spoke for 2 hours today.
i feel less alone in the world and i hope she does too.

clinic tomorrow. should probably go to bed.

then home to my new bed.
