Missing you

[magatron_138]

Oh, Gillian. I'm not sure what I want to say. Sometimes I'm doing so well, in fact most of the time, and then out of the clear blue sky a little balck raincloud of homesickness just pisses all over me. And, in that moment, when I'm feeling sad and I want to go home I still have the presence of mind to berate myself for misusing the word "home" because, as they all keep reminding me, I am "home" right now. And yes, if I were in Halifax I would be missing St. John's, but I wouldn't be missing you!

Did you get my letter? Bonnie says you haven't mentioned it. I'm not sure if that means anything. I hope that you did get it, I would hate for you to think that I was ignoring you when in actuality I was imagining a forthcoming response to a 5 page letter. If you have received and just not had a chance to reply, that's fine, I was just wondering if it had found its way "home" :)

i haven't been talking to bonnie for a while- what with being phoneless and busy.

take care of yourself- be careful- i spent too long being sad in halifax- the grass is always greener about the memories of places where you had a lot of fun with people you miss- but- st.john's can be fab. hard. but fab. a cranky old man- but fab. marilyn cooper on duckworth street and jen squires in the same town. hard. fab.

do me a favour wouldja- do the north cap trail before the snow comes. stroke those hills with amourous affection on my behalf.

i got your letter. i have just been swamped. don't give up.

i said arse last night in my 4000 level art history seminar on modernism / postmodernism.

as in- the arse is right out of 'er now.

Gillian,

Don't worry too much about me, I would say I'm 98% happy here, just every now and again (like reading your post and seeing the word "Quinpool" and being able to hear Elliot say "What are they doing with the children?!") little things kick me in the teeth :)
You said arse in class? That's excellent. My english 2000 prof was reading us a section from Canterbury Tales which the editor of our book had translated as "grabbing her by her sexual organs he told her he was so in love with her he might die" which our prof said was a little too polite and what the actual translation should be is "he grabbed her by the cunt and said I want you so bad I'm gonna cum in my pants"! I nearly died, Gillian!!
