just our hands clasped so tight waiting for the hint of a spark

so saskatoon was a blast (a blast of freezing cold). 47 hours on the bus (good god) was slightly excessive, but i managed to sleep a lot (drugs).

seriously though- i like this country, and it was nice to get an up close and personal viewing of it. it's good for bonding. also, it was marvelous to see emily, who was my only friend (tear) and whom i've only just recently forgiven for up and deserting me for the prairies. to be fair, she has met a nice boy there and has finally found a circle of people who will not shame her for wearing the plaid lumberjack coat in public places. so i guess it wasn't all for naught.

in other news, just when i thought that benny was finally housebroken, he started peeing on the floor again. two days ago. it's so exasperating. is my lot in life really meant to be one of cleaning up dog pee for an eternity?

i mean, come on.

The coast disappeared when the sea drowned the sun
And I knew no words to share with anyone
The boundaries of language I quietly cursed
And all the different names for the same thing
