Well, let me tell you!
I e-mail my friends!
And I blog like a woman gone mad.
And then there's the 'researching' of new restaurants I want to eat at....
Here. Here's a fine example of the kind of elevated conversation that goes on here on a daily basis.
ME: I've just spent over $600 dollars on my car in less than a week.
W: Cars are expensive pieces of property...
Expensive to buy, maintain, insure, drive, ... Did I miss anything?
ME: No, I think you covered everything there!
W: Our problem is that we live in a city where it is either very difficult or impossible to be with out a car….
ME: Yeah...but you know, if all my friends and family lived in my area (say, at least all in Vancouver) then I wouldn't REALLY need a vehicle.
I lived for one whole year without a car while I was in Courtenay, and it wasn't so bad.
W: Still ... getting from your place to work cannot be all that easy - unless you can bum a ride from someone...
ME: Oh, yeah, for sure.
But along with that little day dream was me having a job close to my gorgeous house overlooking English bay.
Of course.
W: I actually had a job in Yaletown and lived downtown for a while... It was pretty nice - walked to work & to/from the bar.
I only used my car for weekend get aways and for grocery shopping...
ME: That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
W: But then my job changed... And moved out to Richmond... And I do like owning a car...
ME: Well, I like the FREEDOM a car provides me.
Heck, if I REALLY felt like it, I could drive to New York from here.
W: Dat be true...
ME: Or Memphis.
W: I suppose.
ME: OR, a small town in South Dakota.
I'm just sayin', is all.
W: Or Spuzzum?
ME: Yeah, Spuzzum.
But no. Not Spuzzum.
W: ;-(
ME: Don't be sad.
W: Spuzzum? :-0
ME: Um. No.
W: I guess I will just have to go by myself - but don't expect a t-shirt with "My friend went to Spuzzum and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt"
ME: It should read "My friend went to lousy Spuzzum. And I didn't."
W: ic
ME: You laughed, I could HEAR you all the way over here!
W: Maybe I did ... Maybe I didn't...
ME: HUMPH!
W: ic
ME: I need a new blog...can I use this one (I'll change your name to protect your 'so-called innocence' if you like...)
W: And how would this discussion be of any interest to anyone but us?? And even then I think it is touch and go...
ME: You'll see.
I'll spice it up.
Now. Yea or nay?
I can call you Douglas. No one will ever know it was you.
W: I am not a Douglas...
ME: Raymondo? (you'll have to rrrrrroll the 'r')
W: Haha ... Ok now that is funny!!! But No... Not Raymondo...
and on and on and on and on
and on
and on...........
