quick blog on ketan's comp:

so, the "sleepover" was pretty fun... imran came back from stages later on, and then danielle came over for the night as well... had some really interesting conversations, i'll tell you that... that's what i like hanging around them, the intelligent conversation (often), even if we are talking about the social hierarchy of bonobos monkey societies... or female pheramones... ... or gossiping about people (who i've never met before in my life!) haha, good times... it's weird, sometimes i find it a little intimidating in these conversations just because i'm not that smart... or atleast i don't think in the same way they do, which leads to me usually just sitting there listening to them talk because i don't have anything really enlightening to say. but it's ok, b/c i like to sit there and just absorb their ideas and opinions... it's very interesting to hear others' viewpoints. it's also kinda interesting to me to hear their drinking and/or "other" stories... b/c in my nice little sheltered bubble (which i really do love, btw), it's all so foreign to me. haha, tiffany isn't really "street smart", so it's nice to be "educated" and live vicariously through other people! b/c yeah, to me? never happening.

we were up so late too! i mean, ketan and i got back from my place at around midnight, and then danielle and imran didn't come over 'til an hour or two later... stayed up 'til past 6:30am talking in ketan's room! anyway, it was all really fun. am kinda tired now, but had a nice nap in imran's bed, so am feeling ok. anyhow, am heading to toronto in about an hour, so am very excited! can't wait to get back!!!

oh, and what do i like to read? well, for starters, i LOVE c.s. lewis and the chronicles of narnia... i think that man is a genius! i wrote an essay a few years back about the religious allegory found the in the chronicles of narnia and it was SO much fun to write and research! they're SO good! and i read tolkien's stuff a few years back too. good story, but personally found his writing style a little pedantic... so yeah, i enjoy the fantasy genre, i suppose... i've always loved fairy tales as a child, and i still do! or maybe i just like children's literature? oh, and i love books by bill bryson... he's a hilarious travel writer - i never thought that the travel genre of writing would be interesting at all, but this guy is SO funny. ohmygoodness... you HAVE to read "in a sunburnt country", it is one of my favourites and it's about australia!!!! it's not really a travel book, but it kinda is? just read it, ok?

oh, i like to read a lot of other things/genres too... trying to read some more "classics", but am way behind on my reading list... am generally not one of those who reads the popular stuff on the best-sellers lists though. anyway, in conclusion, reading is fun.
