I was running into my room to get my real-life journal to bring back to the computer when I heard what sounded uncannily like my cat from home. There is a cat that lives here and she used to hang out in my suite, but since her family's back she's been a little snobby with me. Any port in a storm, I guess, eh Mimi? Anyway, I wonder what that noise was--a strange unnamed joint in my body squeaking? An appliance releasing tension in the kitchen? (Fridge would be the likely candidate. She's always been kind of shifty.)

Seperating love affairs into 'casual' and 'serious' (I imagine a sheet of paper with a line drawn down the middle) makes all of it feel like a hobby, a sport. There are always the dabblers and then there's the hardcore folk. Thing is, what upgrade, besides marriage, occurs that deserves the label "serious about each other"? Moving in is an obvious one. But I would hope that the amount spent living for the other person (which, ideally, is small anyway) doesn't need to increase in order to belong to the serious category.
No-one needs to worry, I'm not getting married (or even 'serious' about someone) any time soon. Then again, the future holds surprises more than anything else.

the human behind the bean
I'm a 27 year old Canadian woman. I grew up on Cape Breton Island, although my parents and their families are from Quebec and Ohio. Currently I live in Cape Breton, in a small town by the Bras D'Or Lake.
I can make a good soup and tie my own shoes. I've worked as a nanny, a potter's assistant, a shop clerk, and a janitor. I've also worked in a library, and taught computers to seniors. I've travelled to Australia and New Zealand and across Canada by train. I spent two and a half years in university before I left. I like the way the air smells in the Fall.
Since 2002 - this is my blog, a place for me to write about life, what I experience, to share my photography and my writing. I'm glad you're here!
