Romanced by the Fall // equivocality

09 Sep 07

The leaves start to turn before they drop.

It’s finally cool enough to sleep with the window open again. I wake up refreshed, a little chilly even, with my blankets wrapped to my face.

Maybe I’ve been single for too long, maybe I’m being romanced by the fall yet again, but there seem to be cute girls everywhere lately.

I think the cute girl thing is due to 2 things:

1-Post secondary just started so lots of people are coming in from out of town, including girls

2-Girls look cuter in fall clothes

Jeff… I’ve finally settled into my new house… when are you gonna come down?? (and see your old furniture/household items randomly scattered around the house) haha

#3 Jeff

@Tiana — I think you’re right on both accounts. Especially the second one; I was getting tired of all this summer skimp. Bring on the girls in turtlenecks and sweaters!

@Darren — When’s the Blonde Redhead Concert? Is it coming up soon? I still have some vacation days left before the end of the year, so we’ll work something out.

It took me a few seconds to place that swing set in Unionville… I grew up just around the corner from that playground.

#5 Jeff

No way! I grew up about six blocks from there! What a coincidence! I went to St. Justin Martyr. As I’ve said before, Unionville became the new Chinatown.

Where are you now? Are your parents still there?

I went to Coledale for a couple years and spent the rest of my elementary days at Berczy. I refer to Markham/Unionville as China 2.0 - After Pacific Mall came in, there was no turning back.

I’m in Waterloo now, living right next to Laurier. My parents are still in Unionville and I see them once every few months, probably again in Thanksgiving. How often are you around there?

#7 Jeff

I don’t go to Waterloo often (once, for the first time, in the last two years). As for Unionville I have no reason to go back as my parents are divorced and I’ve cut them out of my life. Occasionally I visit my friends though. We should definitely meet up. Or if you’re ever in the Ottawa area.

Totally. I’m in Ottawa every once in a while and if a grant proposal goes through for a research project for a former prof of mine, I’ll be making 3-4 trips there in 2008. Keeping my fingers crossed!
