Fondue was a success thanks to Ryan<\/a>, Eva<\/a>, Silva<\/a>, her two friends, Ian<\/a>, Ethan<\/a>, Lung<\/a>, Michael<\/a>, Imogyne<\/a>, Mike<\/a>, Nick<\/a>, Duncan<\/a>, David<\/a>, Beth<\/a>, Mike, Alice, and Adam<\/a>.

    It doesn’t seem real that my birthday is so close again. Just Monday, Monday and the number clicks over another digit. Three to four. My mother<\/a><\/b> got it wrong, thought I was older. It was her graduation from the University of British Columbia yesterday.<\/b> I got the day off work to watch her walk across the stage to receive paper proof of her achievement. The pride that thrilled through me was burnished bright by the satisfied smile on her face. I took pictures after of her in her cap and gown, holding the blue folder that contains her degree. Then we took pictures of me in the gown on the basis that it’s very likely the only chance I’ll ever have to wear one. Driving home with her through the sharp rain on the motorcycle, I had to lean forward and hug her, the love and respect simply swelled to more than I could contain. She’s survived a ridiculous amount of harm to get where she is, and though it’s not ideal, she’s still scraping to get by, it’s a testament to her tenacity that she persevered and put herself through university as a single mother with three<\/a> kids<\/a>. It’s more than most have done.<\/p>\n

    Tonight I have dinner with friends, tomorrow I have dinner with Silva, Saturday Ray<\/a> is rescuing me possibly from my masque<\/a>-panic hell and sweeping me about town to try and find something to wear, (suggestions bloody appreciated), and there’s (as yet unverified) rumour of a second SinCity to be held at Richards on Richards. (If there is no Sin, who wants to have a party?) Sunday I’m still planning on being down in Seattle with Eliza<\/a>, though it’s looking less and less likely as the day approaches and no rides have been forthcoming. Monday my mother<\/a> is bringing me to a soiree at the Mansion, and Tuesday is the last May Mandarin Movie Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
