Last night J suggested we go to Niagara Falls. She had the day off work so i figured why not. I love doing different and romantic stuff and we haven't really done much exploring outside of town since we are more-or-less broke. We woke up at 7am this morning to catch the bus, subway then Greyhound down (it's actually under 2 hours from Toronto ( Read more... )

You're not supposed to suppress your feelings, right? But what's really the difference between suppressing them and dealing with them? Things fade into the past and it's not like you feel it any less or like it has any less relevance to your life, you just think about it less. When you put stuff away in archive boxes it's not like you're ( Read more... )

Why am I doing this on my iPod? It's too hard, I don't want to wake J and I have nowhere else to go. Nowhere I feel safe anyway. I just...

Snow in April, first snow i got to see since i came to Canada a month ago. It's also the last day of our honeymoon.

Or maybe i'm just still glowing ( Read more... )

... that means i'm getting married tomorrow! Oh my God!

I am really very tired. Today was actually pretty low-key at work, but somehow i'm drained. My release is winding up so the main thing now is just managing the deployment and responding quickly to any bugs that will hit during the end of QA and when we're in production. Tomorrow there's a big ass seminar that's going all day. I already know ( Read more... )

It's 11:15pm and J's mom and sister are flying back to Toronto tomorrow morning after a whirlwind week-long first visit to Australia. I was a bit scared to meet the family before they arrived, but turned out we got along fine. I've been blessed with my partners in the past and my partner now - they've all had amazing families that accept me in as ( Read more... )

Wow, so much has gone on in the past few weeks. Just to get a picture, i'm lying here on a new leather couch with my girlfriend, typing on my Macbook while she's watching TV. Earlier tonight we chucked a softball around in the park; we'd gone out for Malaysian and gelati beforehand. We were celebrating because she just landed a job following her ( Read more... )
