I think I'm a Montréaler now...

Last Caturday, walking back to obskura's after a party:

<scjody> I'm kinda hungry. Is there any good food around here that isn't Dad's?
<obskura> There's a pizza place up ahead.
<scjody> That sounds good. Is it the kind of place where I can get une pointe? Um, uh, I mean a slice. Couldn't remember the English word.

You will have to start calling paper clips "trombones". ;)

[scjody]

Thanks, I didn't know that one!

[bee_york]

Ftw! I'VE DONE THIS!!! hahahaha ;)

Ah, the stuff that only Quebecers can understand....*happy sigh*

[taxlady]

I love "trombone". It's so descriptive.

[lullysing]

Now that is funny.

Hahahah! This happens to me all the time. I'll switch to French mid-sentence and be like "...whoops" 'cause I can't remember how to say it in English. XD

Are you not originally from Montreal? Just curious. :)

[scjody]

No, I've only lived here for just over 2 years.

I grew up spent my childhood and teenage years in Newfoundland, moved to Kingston for university, cycled across Canada, then settled in Ottawa until I got bored of the place. I'll probably be here for a while, but who knows?

Everyone stays here for at least a while, and those that leave often come back. :)

Niiiiiiiice! Newfoundland!
You know, it's struck me before that you've had a hint of some kind of accent, but I never would have guessed the martimes, specifically Newfoundland! That's pretty awesome. :D
