Voulez vous couchez avec moi?

That was so weird. I just came from a party at my friend Olivier's place, and about 80% of the people there were French. It was a really strange experience. He's from Quebec, Quebec proper mind you, none of this Anglo-friendly Montreal stuff. Most of the people there were either from Quebec or France. They were nice, and talked to me in English as well, but just listening to 20 people speaking french was totally different than anything I've ever been exposed to. I kind of got a sense of what it must be like for people new to Canada, who can't communicate with those around them. Fuck, I've never even seen that many Francophone people together before. Weeeird. Totally made me want to brush up on my Spanish though. If they can speak two-three languages, I should make the effort to get more fluent in my "second" language.
Yeah, it's been raining for 4 days straight. Everyone here has warned me that November is the suicide-gloomy-nothing-but-rain-month. Everything from my knees down is soaked all the time, but it's like 13 degrees out. If that's the price I have to pay for warm weather, then so be it. I think I can get used to it.
I'll be back for Christmas early on Dec 23rd, and leaving stupid-early on the 31st. I know some of you will be in BC for Christmas, but hopefully I'll get to see everyone before I leave. I miss you guys, and I'm totally psyched about coming home. It's like a movie or something--I've always wanted to come home for Christmas.
See ya soonish.
