Congratulations Antonia and Brian

When I first walked into apartment 303 in September of 1996 I think the first person I met was Antonia and her mum. They were cleaning. We lived together for the next four years. My favourite memory of Antonia is the time she cranked the music and danced on the stairs with a towel over her head. ( exam stress)
I miss living with Antonia, but now she'll be living with Brian in a strange, grown-up way: They're getting married!
She asked me to link to her wedding blog. So Laurier friends, check it out.

In a more self-obsessed way, I've been thinking a lot about September. It's the end of summer, so everything (included patios and warm, summer nights) dies. But the cool weather brings new possibilities. For school, for jobs, for that perfect halloween costume.
Here is what I've been doing over some significant Septembers.
My 27th September- I'm in London. Not sure exactly what I'm doing.
My 23rd September- I'm in Toronto. Just starting Ryerson.
My 22nd September- I'm in Sydney. I'm done with travelling and ready to come home.
My 21st September- I'm in Jasper. Against my better judgment, I'm starting to really love it there. So I leave.
My 18th September- I'm in Waterloo. Meeting Antonia and most of her wedding party.

It's exhausting. My Septembers have been stressful.

John and I have both agreed that we like Stoke-Newington. It's a lovely part of the city and is still quite close to the center. Biggest problem for John. It's too nice. Biggest problem for me. The scary amount of young families. Think Parkdale. I'm not sure if I'm ready to move to the family-friendly section of London. Isn't London supposed to be swinging?
Oh, the other bit of excitement is that we're getting a landline. Now keeping in touch won't be terrifyingly expensive. Though given my exciting news of late, I wouldn't blame anyone if they didn't want to keep in touch.
