I DON’T HAVE A TITLE ALSKFAJLFKASDJG5SGA

I love living in Calgary, yo.

Downtown Calgary

I mean, I loved Vancouver, but that was different. I loved the city. It was my escape from everything else (mostly school and the fact that I had zero friends and the fact that I was so, so sad there). Here, I not only love the city but I love school and I (sort of) have friends and I have Nate and I have happiness!

It’s big enough population-wise that there’s the feeling of anonymity, but it’s big enough area-wise that there are good chunks of the city that don’t feel “big city” at all, which is nice for walking.

I also feel a weird connection with Calgary. It’s probably because the 1988 Olympics were held here just a few days after I was born. Which is a weird reason to feel connected to a city, but what are you gonna do.

Finally, everything that’s happened up here so far has made this the most accurate fortune cookie fortune I’ve ever received:

Fortune

 

Do you believe in signs?

My cousin Bobby’s in town checking out the University of Idaho, so he, my dad, and I, went to Mongolian BBQ for dinner tonight.

This was my fortune:

Technically, Ottawa is further south than Moscow…

*Theme from “The Twilight Zone*

Weird thing happened today…

So a couple weeks ago, we go to Mongolian BBQ and I get this fortune which says, “Opportunity is just around the corner”.

We go again today, and I get the exact same fortune!

What’re the odds? Perhaps my opportunity is college.

Or a traffic accident involving a blind corner. You never know.

What?…why?…when?…confusion.

Rejection at every turn today.

Perhaps I’m just imagining it, but it seemed pretty real. I got a fortune cookie yesterday that said “your popularity will increase”. I figured it was right, considering my popularity could not possibly get any lower.

But I guess I was wrong.

Like I said, though, I could be imagining all this…

…but I doubt it.

But happy birthday, mom!! I love you!!
