Canada, Eh?

Gashi soshite aisatsu, everyone! Sumimasen about this whole "practically disappearing from the face of the Earth" thing. Do any of you know where Wainwright is? I rest my case. Anyway, I'm having a blast here, and I really wish I could tell you about it on a daily basis. Unfortunately, such is not the case. I am staying in a house with seven other people, all of whom need to use the computer, and therefore my cyberspace time has been cut down to thirty minutes per day. *Sigh.* Well, here's the painfully short update: I went to the Royal Tyrell Museum, saw some yellow-headed blackbirds and Richardson ground squirrels (a.k.a. gophers), went swimming at Clear Lake, and now refer to buffalo calves as buffalings. At some point during the next week, I plan to visit the West Edmonton Mall, which is currently the largest mall in the world. (I thought you didn't like shopping.) It's not that I don't like it, I'm just not obsessed. I enjoy a good trip to the mall just as much as the next girl. By the way, it took you long enough! I've been typing for five minutes, where were you? (I was organizing my new stamps by color, pattern, and date. Canada is awesome! I've always wanted the stamp with a maple leaf on it.) Yeah...um, that's great. Well, I guess we should be going now. See you next time at Sasori's Rock! (Sayonara!)

THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND

-The way some Canadians say 'eh' after finishing a sentence.
-The phrase "It wasn't even funny". Example: "It hurt so bad, it wasn't even funny." As if it would have been funny if it had hurt just slightly less.
-People who name their children such things as Liberty, Finnigan, or Espn (Yes, like the sports network. They didn't even have the decency to put a vowel between the 'p' and the 'n'. Yeesh.).
