Gift baskets full of all the whiskey, $4 chocolate bars and porn I can lay my hands on.
Speaking of visa applications, I have been reexamining my motivation re: a PhD in LIS, as Western Ontario offers one. I'm *reasonably* sure that's just the Pre-Election Crazies talking to me. Probably. But it's 4 years long! Surely that is not coincidence?
London's nice. Not death far from Toronto. Can I tempt you to SFU or UBC? We don't have snow. And if you go west I can find you a Canadian spouse to help your points!
Do I get to make weak American jokes now? Because, I mean, it's not a kid's Halloween costume unless you can fit a snowsuit under it. London's a balmy tropical paradise compared to where I did my teenageing. Hence the moving to Vancouver.
I grew up with Lake effect snow - Cleveland and a couple of years in Chicago - so I do remember what real snow is like. (Northeast Ohio: because we like our Halloweens frosty, our Christmases green and our Easters white.) No snow pants with the Halloween costume, thankfully. (God, I hated snow pants.)
But central Ohio is just far enough south to get a lot less. And I would like to end up someplace with even less than this, approaching zero.
2cm of snow here and I get no class. Now that's truly when I feel all superior and from the prairies. I went to a high school in a city where if it was cold enough to call a snow day it was cold enough that a child, upon reaching the school and finding it closed, would die on the way back home from exposure. That's cold. London also gets lake effect type snow. Vancouver gets Pacific coast rain. Sometimes, when it is January and I feel that I have never seen the sun, I think it evens out. Ohio actually sounds nice. Or I have heard favourable things?
I think Robert Munsch says more about the Canadian experience than any other text ever could. trufax.
