5 days of sunshine

Well, in an attempt to make ammends and rejoin the world of the living (well, at least the world of communicating) I am heartily taking up Christy's call to re-blog. My most sincere apologies to all the friends who have already put me in the 'never going to call/write back' category. (It is nothing personal, I SWEAR!) Here's to hoping my heartiness will last...

So lately I've been obsessed with trying to be honest. I think that Christy (and probably Susana too) would probably say that I have always been this way, but have been trying to add depth and thoughtfulness to this honestly in recent times. I think this is not a bad place to do it. Really, if you want to be super-open about all of your personal thoughts and feelings that you've maybe never shared before, what better place to do so than the internet? ;0)

What to talk about -- how about the weather? Well, contrary to Christy's post from yesterday, we've actually had about 5 days of sun in a row here in Vancouver. (HOLY CRAP!) I seriously thought that I was never really going to get to see the sun again, and that when it came out (every 3 weeks or so) it was just to taunt us and prevent us from accepting a sun-less world. And so I lived as a slave to the grey, clinging to a small sliver of hope that the sun would someday return.

Ironically enough, now that it is back I spend most days inside not able to enjoy it anyways. But let's not get too carried away with complaining.

Speaking of irony, what is irony anyways? I don't think that this is really an example of irony, unless you think that it is dramatic irony and that God is the audience sitting and watching me walk into my dreary grey-walled windowless office just at the moment as the sun peak out from behind the clouds. (Is that even what dramatic irony is? My memory of grade 12 English class is hazy.) My uncle Mike, who is a very smart man, once pointed out to me that in Alanis Morisette's song, most of her stories are not examples of irony.

Is it ironic that I spoke about my conviction to express deep and thoughtful honesty and then went on to talk of such pithy things as the weather and Alanis Morisette? Thoughts anyone?

peace. and love.
