Vermont is a vegan paradise

I guess when they say your life is very negative you have to focus on the things that are wonderful-because when you think deep inside there is always beautiful things, always hope, always someone to make you happy. I think back about the roadtrip in Burlington. Right next after the borders the hills starts to grow in the scenery, a little house here and there, lots of moviesque moutains, grass in the fileds getting strong after a cold winter, a greenish conifer forest in the background; it almost looked like a dream when you consider the high altitude fog. I imagine myself riding in the fields, between the moutains, I'd have air through my lungs exploding like an engine.

Today is by far the hottest day of 2004 so far; the wind mixed with suddent rain makes it colder but its very hot indeed. I was only wearing capri pants and a t-shirt to school and I'm proud to say I never shivered. I'm so putting my seeds in the ground Thursday morning! I was taking a 'walk' barefoot in the backyard earlier today and I saw the little buds pushing outside of the lilac tree so hard. The smell of the lilac in the backyard is one of the thing I'm going to miss when I will leave. In my head, that smell is related to the end of the school year. The rhubarb is to tiny and strong, I'm sure that if I pressed my head against the ground I'd hear its roots growing.

I'm a little bit dissapointed because we don't have the appartment. There was two balconies and a community garden right in the front of the building, a big kitchen, big bedrooms and the potential to have a bunch of plants. Its starting to be critical; I have lost most of the motivation I had considering the failure we faced; I might have to move to the old port. At least I will have the downtown craziness 2 feet away from my place, and perhaps by chance I can see the St. Lawrence river by the window, boats coming and going, but thats in the silliest dream; lets be realistic, the rent wouldn't be $250 each with a view on the river! At least I can still have a few herbs / plants in the appartment anyway. Well oh well, I called Erin tonight and I'm visiting her place this Wednesday though. But as I said, its my 'last' option.

A little side note on the The First Step show; It was surely one of the best show I've ever been too. All the bands were pouring energy, free demo samplers of new bands, laughing, people getting excited about the next band coming up, people skating on the wet floor from side to side of the dancefloor. Pile ons, sing alongs, trying to breathe while jumping on people to sing along, 2 times animal rights were discussed on the stage, having fun, being true, Chain Of Strength and Project X covers, wet people, fun. I tried in vain to make a decent review, but it was just so intense the words were not coming, and they still don't.

  • My cousin Amelie, mitochondriax, got me totally addicted to Nikola Sarcevic (accoustic solo project of a Milencollin member) and I can't stop listening to that. Now tell me how I am supposed to smile and be happy with such a depressed song? Ame, you should remix it into a techno version or something to cheer me up a little.
  • Some people crash into your life, some people appear, some people leave, and some will eventually come back. Yep...
  • I am addicted to sprouts, to the extreme point of being the first thing I think of when I wake up.
  • I have book addiction too, I just bought Hopping Freight Trains in America by Duffy Littlejohn. I'm so excited by books these days I wake up early (10 AM) each morning to check out of they are in. I haven't bought Milan Kundera's Unbearable Lightness of Being yet, which will be my beach book for the summer. I'm in an intense search of books related to animal domestication. I should calm down and wait for my course next fall!
