A little more on Victoria, and also yay: bitchinparty.

I am horrible at updating. Victoria's been awesome. I still have a lot to do to settle in, and I'm slow at making friends to hang out with, but I have a steady job and a few friends to hang out with ( Read more... )

I'm so happy you're happy and that you have a starter kit of friends.

I found it harder to make friends when I came back to Toronto than when I went to the US. Part of this is common sense: grad school in the US meant meeting new people all the time, living at my parents when I first returned to Canadia meant meeting no one under the age of 60.

But even after I started working, it took a while. I think Canadians (or southern Ontarians) and more reserved and take longer to warm up. Hence the happy with your starter kit. Still, those times when you find yourself at loose ends in a new place can be lonely.

You are an easy boo to warm up to, so I'm sure you'll gradually have all the friends you need.

Tell me about your job. What are you doing?

Yes. I need to figure out some things I'm interested in that don't require heavy commitments. I've met a few people, but no one that I've really clicked with. But I've always made friends slowly (if easily), so I'm not actually frustrated <3. I'm happier to have a few really good friends than to have tons of people around. I just need to work more on the really good friends ( ... )

Decent, but missing some of my favourite people for company <3.

Of course, you're going to bichinparty next year.....because I can't make it. :(

ARGH. Clearly you need to re-arrange your life and find a way to make it. We've known each other for about *ten* years, how does this happen :(

You will just have to make a specific trip to the west coast to visit me, clearly. Or at least tell me if you'll be in Seattle or Vancouver, so I can try to come meet you. (I really do appreciate that flexibility, even though I've yet to manage to make it work out.)
