All the way to W.A.

No, I didn't go all the way in W.A., but I did board a 747 and made the trek over to Perth to visit my budding sexologist friend, Deanna. Deanna's finishing up her masters in WA before heading back to Edmonton (for the love!), despite my many pleas to move to Sydney. My trip was planned around Deanna et al's big Canada Day celebration. The week was a resounding success. Deanna and I frolicked nude, spooned, ate a lot, brushed up on our Hangul, plotted our future husbands / wedding plans / children's names, and then made a friend with aggression issues. Good times. Missing in action was Sarah who was skiing with lesbians and just being slightly less cool in general. We still love her, though.
In other exciting news:
a) I bought a new camera. This will hopefully motivate me to actually get out and do things that require photos. And, bring my poor, dilapidated blog back to life.
b) My bro got engaged... meaning I will be making another triumphant Canadian return at some point. I'll presumably be wearing a tux, which is also exciting. Applications for dates should begin now.
c) My mom booked her ticket and is coming for Xmas down under.
d) It turns out, in addition to being cute, I'm also really smart (as validated by one certain professor who may have used the word "brilliant").
