OH NOSE NOT ANOTHER MEME

shinyopals gave me:1. CANADA. My favourite country!
I find this kind of funny, especially considering what a big anglophile I am. It's like we're going back and forth at each other or something. However, I realised rather with a start recently that I don't want to move to Britain. I flipping LOVE Toronto. I don't really want to live anywhere else permanently. Or at least, I wouldn't want to not live in Toronto. Even though there aren't really wild bears in Toronto, Opals, so you'd have to go searching at a cottage. But there's another thing I love. I'm inside this great big city and if you drive for a while North, you're suddenly in this as-yet-untamed wilderness. It's genius and that is one thing I'm rather certain you can't do in Britain. Or at least you can't do it for so LONG: eventually you'll come out the other side of it or hit a sea. Canada is HUGE. I mean, and mostly, I stay in Toronto, obviously, I'm not some kind of crazy camper. Toronto is awesome. I feel like it's a friendlier version of a lot of other big cities. Is someone going to laugh at me for calling it big? Well, shooshah, it is. Just big enough for me. Anyway, I'm probably going to become one of those writers whose bio at the back of books says: "Leah Masterson lives for half the year in Toronto, Canada and the other half in Britain." Well, generally it says "in a small cottage in Somewhereshire" but I don't know if I'd necessarily settle for the country. I dunno. The point is, I'm very proud to be Canadian and to hell with those stupid beer commercials.
2. Yay for another university student.
Ah, Guelph. It's pretty sweet. I need to...get around to getting my homework properly done rather than gloating in the semi-freedom away from my parents. I'm not doing too badly this year, I think. But coming home for Reading Week is giving me a bit of a headache. Mum is choosing this time to reassert all of her power or something and she's saying some truly awful things. Also, I've actually been working quite a bit and she still refuses to acknowledge that I've done anything. "When are you going to get your work done?" So I really need to scrape a 70 average so I can go on exchange to Britain. As far away as possible, yeah? well, I could go possibly farther but I don't want to. Back to Guelph. It's lovely. It's friendly and the city's pretty awesome too. It's just big enough that I don't feel closed in after Toronto. Love.
3. Your username. For it is strange and awesome.
This...is from a while back. Grade 7 or 8 I think. all of my friends were getting Hotmail accounts and I didn't know how to make one so I got my friend to do it for me. But the point is, I was obsessed with cows at the time and while cows don't normally eat cheese, I think I thought it would be funny if they did. So I took out all the vowels from the first and last word and made my username. I've actually become quite tired of it recently and have been replacing everything with 'MaleaBotor' but if you actually like it then perhaps it's not actually as awful as it's been seeming to me. Thanks.
4. Your flailing Kermit icon! XD I can't help it, I just do!
I love that icon. It's how I feel a lot of the time. I tend to use it for bewilderment or over-excitement. I try to choose icons that I can actually use to convey a mood, which is hard. Some of mine right now are a little pointless but I hope to remedy that eventually.
Anyway, it's Eddie Izzard plus the Muppets. How can you possibly go wrong?
5. Loads of the random things from your letters (that I need to reply to, I believe). Things like your friends building you a computer and not being able to play The Sims.
Oh thank GOODNESS. I thought you'd already sent it but during the Christmas Break and Guelph had misplaced it. I was actually really worried. Man, I ramble in those letters. I...got SO far in the Sims while at uni. Like, I've made it to Season Four in Doctor Who (because, as I believe I mentioned, I was playing the game in canon) only now that I'm at Season 4, I stopped being canon BECAUSE CANON IS SAD. I DID make the Starfish-Doctor, who lives with Donna right now but I kept Rose with the original Doctor. They have twin sons. Aw. The Master and Lucy had a little girl as well but she is SOOO ugly thanks to Saxon's stupid cheekbones. Also, now that I'm not doing the Series any more, I've lost interest for the time being. Plus I have SO MANY CHARACTERS still to make. So it's a project that I don't really want to get into right now.
