I had a very good weekend with meresy and the lovely and amazing eledhwenlin in Toronto over the weekend. It was great to finally meet E, who is very sweet and intelligent and someone with whom I really click. (Unlike, say, Meres, who orders poutine topped with very weird and exotic meats.

Ooo, Toronto be a very shiny place! *grabby hands*

I am with you on the getting cold when sleepy! My whole body just kinda shuts off when I go to sleep, and I get COLD! You will get no mockage from me.

Plus you're used to Boy, who I expect is very warm. ;)

Toronto is gorgeous! You should see it! *gently encourages*

*grabby hands at Canada*

How bad is it that pictures of Toronto street crossings made me all lip-wobbly and nostalgic?

Also, *makes note to give eledhwenlin a squish on both yours and Meres's behalf*

Awww, I was nostalgic too! And eledhwenlin REALLY reminded me of you, which only added to the lip-wobbly. (I hope you two get a chance to connect at MJ. I think you'd like each other very much).

Wow. Those are fantastic pictures. Dude.

You'd let us know if you ever made it towards Vancouver, right? We could totally drive (or fly) up there and hang out! :D

I would TOTALLY let you know that! It is a priority to see you two in person!
