  a lot of wine last night w/ good friends. manal made couscous and vegetables and meat.

we laid on the floor and talked. mostly about love.

pretending to be asleep on the sofa-bed, i watched denni get his photography gear together for a wedding shoot. he tried not to make too much noise. mouthed a "good-bye." it startled him.

they have a good life.

I've blown my chance.

Gibran's take on love...yeah

Going to celebrate lynn's birthday in orangeville.

It will be good to see my surrogate family. I need some family right now.

  The gift giving this year has been substantially less than in past years. We've all experienced a financial drain of sorts - but it was lovely, regardless.

Received small and wonderful gifts. Priya made me a book. Vanesa made me chimes out of sea shells. Pajamas and books from the rest of the family. Dad loved the scarf i made for him.

Dad ushered me in his office later that day. asked about my future plans (we have this talk every couple of months). Surprisingly he asked if I was happy. he surprised me further by saying that he was proud of me. funny how family things go.

this has been one of the best christmases i've had in a long time.

  I suppose tonight is a good a night as any to learn about the wonderful world of typesetting.

Sadly enough, I'm only familiar w/ leading.

Merry christmas.

also happens to be my niece's 8th birthday.

my sister has a feeling that she is carrying twins.

twins run very heavily on mum's side.

  It feels strange to be back home. montreal is no longer a good fit. it's funny the changes that have taken place here. my sister told me that that's she pregnant. the parents are on some type of religious crusade, i hardly get to see them. my brother is more aloof than usual. the nieces are growing up too quickly.

i miss welland, but that city won't be home to me much longer. where will i go?

i've been looking at some internship possibilities in toronto, mainly art galleries and television. i'm also looking to the states. wouldn't mind being in chicago, or someplace else.

i'm worried about finances. i'm worried that i haven't been in a relationship for almost 2 years now. i'm worried about not writing. i'm worried that i might not have children.

the anais nin quote comes to mind often

and the day came when the risk the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

i have so much more to do...

current music: hush (accoustic) - Tool

music: a perfect circle
during the week i stayed in Orangeville, lynn and I, and sometimes her folks, would watch "100 shocking moments in rock history." Chris (Lynn's dad) thought the the most shocking moment would be when the music died (buddy holly, big bopper, and richie v.). I said it would be john lennon's death, and i was right. it was a good series, wouldn't mind buying the video.

upon returning o montreal, I've been napping and eating, not necessarily in that order. It's pretty unfortunate because i start modeling the second week of January. i suppose i'll let the students artistically interpret the rolls of fat around my tummy. I should start training for this. I have a tendency to sit straight and still for some time, but three hours, hmmm....

Lynn's parents are from liverpool. Their accent is amazing...very harsh and slightly sing-song like. Ruth and Chris, unbelievably nice people.

I miss Lynn, and her ani defranco(sp?) tapes, and her mr. ro-bo-to routine.

  here're the peer evaluations for my presentation of grand theft auto

"concise, to the point"
"clearly presented"
"great topic"
"Alka was good in talking about ethnocentrism, pastoralism, etc..."
"Dusty needs to get out of the way of the overhead"
"Alka did a good job of talking to the class and not reading from notes.'
