Living in Vancouver

It is as wonderful as I could've hoped. Especially now that I live downtown. Before I moved a person told me cynically that it's a good place to live if you have money. I have money. But I wouldn't even consider myself as rich compared to the rest of the city. At all. But now that I've been able to give the middle finger not only to my owning a vehicle, but to the public transportation system in general, my cost of living has actually gone down in comparison to Edmonton or Winnipeg.

I don't even have to leave the province to have the most fulfilling vacation ever this year. I'm going to the Pemberton festival, Shambhala, AND seeing Radiohead all within a month of each other. Just one of those would fill me with utter joy but 3 major events? I get the feeling that people who live here are used to cool events like these falling on their laps but for a Winnipegite starved for stimuli such as myself, it fills me with glee everyday along with the other daily niceities like living with someone I love and walking to work.

I still don't know about the people here but I'm sure there are some good ones out there. Until I find them, I've well trained myself to ignore things I don't like. I don't like to generalize, I think I'm just naturally partly at odds with humanity. Sylvie can make fun of me now.
