So, the last post might have given some people the impression that I'm spending my time entertaining and living it up. That's only partly true. I am living it up, but the girlfriends staying over was an exception. I'm mostly "living it up" by having amazing alone time in a city which 2 months ago was almost totally new to me. To recap: I'm from Montreal. And I had been to Québec before moving here, of course, but if memory serves, only on a grade 6 field trip. And back then I was way more concerned with who I sat next to on the bus than seeing the city. So now I've been exploring! Pictured is an example. It was Friday night and I went out with my little guitar sometime after midnight to wander the old city and play. When I got back, the dawn was about to break, so I ran in for my camera, then made my way along the city wall to a fire escape, which I climbed up to the top. And saw the light grow over the city slowly, which was my very first Québec sunrise.But back to bus seating on field trips: oh, man. Those were wild and stressful days. Were any of you guys like really really cool in elementary? I feel like everyone I meet claims they were a misfit back in the day, but is that just because in retrospect being a misfit seems romantic? Where did all the cool kids go?

Dude I was def not cool. I had tons of mosquito bites on my white ass legs that I covered up with my white ass tube socks that got all bloody when I scratched said mosquito bites. I was chubby to say the least (hence the nickname, Elephant Els) and I had a haircut that looked like a blind man had done the honors. but I was bigger than everyone else so no one messed with me. Also I played hockey so I got some respect there.
matt--you played guitar and wandered the streets of Old Quebec all night? (midnight to sunrise) Do you have a home or are you really living on the streets?
