To my fellow Canucks, I hope you’re all enjoying this wonderful July 1st, Canada’s 143rd birthday! It’s absolutely beautiful out today here on the east coast so I’ve been trying my best to soak it all up. While I technically don’t get today off (since I go to an American university), I am an online student so I basically make my own schedule anyway. And even though I have mountains of projects piling up, I really don’t care. It’s Canada Day, and I’m going to celebrate! Take that, homework! In any case, I’ll be heading down to the waterfront shortly so I’ll leave you all with a handful of red & white pictures in honour of this amazing country.

Playing… my brand new piano! I love it to pieces. I’ve also found a tonne of Regina Spektor, Fiona Apple and Tori Amos sheets online that I’ve been playing night and day.
Drinking… peach iced tea and pink lemonade by the gallon. The perfect summer refreshments!
Falling… more and more in love with my city every day. ♥
Listening… to lots and lots of Trespasser’s William. Their music is positively divine. See exhibit A: Lie in the Sound, B: Alone, and C: Weakening. I’ve also been listening to lots of Peter Broderick, The Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie and Charlotte Gainsbourg this month.
Spending… every free minute I can spare in the company of friends.

I have the worst imaginable case of wanderlust right now. I’ve actually had it for quite a few months, but with summer quickly coming up on us now, I can’t help but long for adventures to far away and exotic places. Perhaps because any sort of travel is so utterly, entirely, and completely unattainable to me at present, it makes me desire exploring the world even that much more than usual. Such is always the case, isn’t it? We can never quite have what we want. And for the last few months, all I’ve wanted to do is cram a suitcase full of my essentials and take off to a foreign land to roam the streets, taste new foods, meet the locals, take oodles of pictures, and explore, explore, explore! I’ve been cooped up in Canada (that seems like it should be an oxymoron considering Canada is so massive) for far too long. I need to go places, see the world! It doesn’t help any that I was supposed to go on not one, but two, trips abroad this summer which have slowly reduced to one, and now none at all. :( Suffice to say, I’m still devastated that both were canceled. I’m desperately clinging to the hope that next summer I’ll be able to fulfill this travel lust, if for no other reason than to get it out of my system! I constantly find myself daydreaming about being on the other side of the world discovering and trying new things. When I close my eyes, I see little floating globes and passports. Okay, maybe that last one was a bit of a stretch…

Long, hot baths.
Colourful balloons.
Playing Tori Amos songs on the piano.
Silence.

In memory of those who fought bravely and gave their lives in the name of peace.
Lest we forget.
