Going to do South Beach again for a week. Felt so good to do it this summer. Am feeling sluggish, and gross. Don't want to hear any knee-jerk pc or pseudo-feminist comments. MB/MC.
I read from my book, Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell. Excellent. Took nap. Made Thai chicken and rice noodles. Did not do schoolwork. Goodnight. Feel much better.

Procrastination is a very good thing.
I hate the anglophon-ness of McGill. We were talking about Qubecois-specific. words, and this chick was like, "how do you know them?" How could I not know them???!??!?? Jesus-effing-Christ. Assholes, surrounded by assholes. I genuinely think that when I get my residency, I might drop out for real. Off to call College de Maisonneuve....

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre blows goats. Don't watch it. I couldn't even get through it, that's how useless it was. But then I got to watch a Star Trek movie. Woot! Werekitty is a kind, sweet pengi and everyone should be friends with him. Have hand-written 6 pages of my 40 page essay due on the 28th. Blarg. Oh well, shouldn't be too bad. SVP,...

It is nice to be back in Montral. I hope I can have a drink with Eli later. Mmmm....
Want to be held, Want to be held. I would like sex for New Year's, but I'd much rather have someone to snuggle with and talk to. I'm lame. What can I say about that except that I'm lame?

Gosh I sure made a big fuss with my post about francophones and the attitude towards us FSL/FLS people. Antoine posted it on his blog and was there ever a ruckus.

"Aveugle", quoi, comme toi?....coute chou-chou, voyage-dont un peu, voir comment a ce passe ailleurs.
Quand moi, je voyage, je constate toujours que dans d'autres cultures, quand on entends un tranger tent de parler la langue de la place, il se fait encourag. Plus, les gens de la rgion font surtout preuve d'apprciation que quelqu'un a voulu apprendre mieux les connatres, en tentant d'apprendre une langue.
Je n'ai JAMAIS eu cette exprience au Qubec, ni Montral, ni Qubec (en rgion sa se passe beaucoup mieux et c'est l que j'ai surment connue le vrai Qubec.)
Et oui, je ne ni pas que cette attitude linguistique existe ailleurs au pays, et plus souvent que pas, le francophone en souffre; je suis francophone et j'ai connus a.
Mais au Qubec, il y existe une contradiction; c'est comme si il y avait 2 lois:
1. "Parlez le franais, stie!"
2. "Si vous ne pouvez pas parler le franais comme on le parle, on s'en foue de vous"

What are all my flappy pengies doing on New Year's Eve? I generally feel that New Year's is blown out of proportion, and so would hence only like to get a couple of drinks, and wear my push-up bra. Would someone care to join me? I'll let you touch the padding.

Looking into French classes at U de M! Bloody expensive. Much better, I expect, than any class one would find at Dawson or a place like that.....Aaarrrgghhhh. Should go to sleep. Mmmm, sleep.
saruman:
We have some brazilian students at the lab (he's post-doc, she's hyper-specialized MD redoing everything from scratch because of the Collge des Mdecins.) And they find that the free french class you can get through the CSDM are better if you can fit them in your schedule. They're free too.
Ok, so I offended people with my last post. Je m'excuse. I'm sorry and I didn't mean to. I shouldn't make internet posts whilst I'm angry, Though one of my New Year's Resolutions is to stop playing the role of the fat happy idiot (especially around the house) and to stop caring so much about offending people. That said, I don't really want to make...

well you certainly didnt offend me... im not canadian and i dont particularly care about being rather or not *ahem american, but hey the important thing is that everyone is well and your still... deliciously-cute, adorable, educated, thin, non-fathead, multi lingiual girl. besides what is the pain in expressing anger? i see none!

El problema es que muchas personas no entienden que una queja sobre una cosa general no un insulto personal. O es que no quieren entenderlo. Yo no veo tampoco un problema en expresar sus sentimientos, pero, no es buena idea escribir en su blog cuando sea enojado/a. Yo lo se a causa de mucha experiencia con los blogs y sus problemas. Pero, feliz navidad y prospero ano nuevo! Muchas gracias para su apoyo. Lo siento para la falta de accentos, soy tan peresoza a buscarlos.
They kept us there for so damn long that I missed my connection bus in Albany to Utica, thus forcing my mother to give up an hour and a half of her life that she can never get back driving out there to get me! It makes me feel sick when I drive across the US border, and thankful that I'm back on the legal...

Pourquoi tant de haine envers la langue franaise en ce temps de Noel ? Mes amis, sortez de MTL, vous verrez que les qubcois sont pas mal plus accueillant !!
Je hais les critiques non fondes et gnralises... et en passant, l'ducation et l'intelligence ne sont pas preuve de civisme... vous venez malheureusement d'en faire la preuve... a serait trop facile de faire le procs des amricains, des musulmans ou mme des acadiens...

Being home is so nice! (Everytime I cross the border I hate the US more, they made me made my connecting bus in Albany) I'll post pictures. Small kisses. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, post-Chanukkah, post-Eid, Solstice or Kwanzaa. Or whatever it is that you do. Our Christmas tree is cute and slopey. I like it.
My status was restored. I can stay in Canada! I can go home for Christmas!!!!!!! Yay! I'm probably going to go home on the twenty-second, but will be back for New Year's! Oh I love everybody right now.
