I'm procrastinating.  (Surprise...)  And, I realized that I haven't been very good about posting pictures of Montreal in this LJ.  So... here are some of the pictures I've taken of this beautiful city.  I need to take lots more pictures throughout the rest of spring and summer.

Life is this constant struggle between complacency and fighting.  It is this cycle of trapping myself in bubbles and fighting to break out of them, only to find out that I have somehow landed into another series of bubbles that I now need to pop out of ( Read more... )

I feel like I've had a lot on my mind; yet, I always manage to blank out on it and never get to actually ( Read more... )

Last week, I helped facilitate a workshop for high school students about the queer community. It is a program run by a group called Allies Montreal that runs discussion groups in high schools around the Montreal area.
