"For those of you who don't live in a metropolis, the short-turn bus is the public-transportation equivalent of a cock-tease: you might think it's going to take you where you want to go, but at one point or another it suddenly stops short of where you really want to be." -- Ryan

Ryan and I went to Tyndale together for a year, and truth be told, I pretty much thought he was a jerk (mistakenly!). That was probably mostly due to his hanging out with a certain young Caleb fellow, to whom Sanda and I often contemplated writing "encouragement notes" that went along the lines of "Dear Caleb, we encourage you to stop being such an asshole." (Of course, we didn't [though we should have, Sanda, you chicken!], opting instead to post Adbusters posters on the bulletin boards.) Once summer came and most of the others went home, I revised my opinion of Ryan and we started hanging out and things were good. He's lived practically across the road from me since last June (?) and we both go to York University now, but haven't managed to get together for tea until today, even though we're both total nerds when it comes to our academic disciplines (psychology for him). Anyways, Ryan's started a blog, so check it out and encourage him to update often!

I should mention for the benefit of all of my Brock Vegas readers that Ryan had the dubious pleasure of being the RA for one Jeff Strikefoot for a year and managed not to strangle him. Mad props for that, yes? Oh, and I learned today that Jeff's been given the boot and is no longer allowed on Tyndale property! Who saw that coming? Oh, that's right, all of us... (Heh, remember when we duct-taped him to a tree? Good times, good times.)

In other news, I will be spending tomorrow helping my lovely boyfriend move downtown at long last. So exciting! :) And my birthday is in 4 days! Chris has been teasing me for days now that he has a surprise for me and he won't tell me what it is. He says that he's getting me back for teasing him with a list of contradictory hints about his present back in December, so don't tell him that it's not bothering me as much as it bothered him, okay? ;)
