rocyn Housemate	posted 02-19-2004 02:24 PM quote: Originally posted by jazzberry: I really wanted to do Katimavik, but by the time I discovered it, I was literally 2 months too old. Bah! Yay! The sun's out! Yay! I love our weather! wheeee! (though, now that I've said that, it'll probably be raining by the time I start heading home) Oh so jealous, jazzberry. I'm in New Brunswick and we're having a blizzard. High winds, white-out conditions, 35+ centimetres of snow. Can I come live with you? IP: Logged
yam Housemate	posted 02-19-2004 11:58 PM >(though, now that I've said that, it'll probably be raining by the time I start heading home) Yeah really, the weather's been so weird lately, as usual. Wednesday's sun! rain! sun! rain! act was great. IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 02-20-2004 12:40 AM I heard on the radio that it might snow on the weekend???? Yikes! rocyn and miss ho, I hope you're safe and warm! It looks crazy in them there hills... IP: Logged
yam Housemate	posted 02-20-2004 01:21 AM I was feeling mighty chilly in the brrr! bracing 8 degree heat until we got a letter from j's aunt in newfoundland. She mentioned having to sew an extra button on her coat to keep the cold out. IP: Logged
Beach Housemate	posted 02-20-2004 09:45 AM Man did Nova Scotia ever get dumped on! My sister is still digging her way out of her house. Something like a meter of snow fell in 24 hours? CRAZY. IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 02-22-2004 05:12 PM my epic interview session went pretty well. It was actually an "Evaluation Day" and we did a series of activities and fun stuff. I was expecting there to be at least 100 people, but including me there was 8. There was supposed to be 14, but 6 people didn't show up, which is ridiculous, since 4500 people apply every year, 450 people get accepted, and there aren't many spots for the evaluation days. Craziness. I'll let you all know if I get recommended. I should know in the next week or so, but I won't find out if I'm actually being placed on a team until April. Ack! IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 02-23-2004 02:14 PM I've been recommended! I've been recommended! WHEEEEE! happy dance IP: Logged
kellyrae Housemate	posted 02-24-2004 10:44 AM Oh, lalala, I guess Nova Scotia is in Canada, isn't it! Do any of you live there? IP: Logged
rocyn Housemate	posted 02-25-2004 09:10 PM I live in New Brunswick, a few hours from Halifax, Nova Scotia. We had a storm here and plenty of snow, but not a "State of Emergency" like NS. Crazy. IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 03-02-2004 01:22 PM any Vancouver area Digsters interested in doing a Digsmeet in the next couple of months? Maybe sometime in April?? IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 03-05-2004 01:28 PM From "Talking to Americans" on This Hour Has 22 Minutes: "Congratulations Canada on getting FM radio." � "Congratulations Canada on getting running water in all five states." bwhahahahahaha! I love that segment. I miss Rick Mercer on that show. IP: Logged
yam Housemate	posted 03-05-2004 09:09 PM My favourite is: congratulations canada on your first 100 miles of paved highway! I'd be up for a meet. My last exam is april 26 and then I have scads and scads of free time. whee! IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 03-06-2004 12:09 AM I also love: "Congratulations, Canada, on reaching a population of one million!" End of April/early May works for me. Well, actually, anytime after March 22 works for me...hehe. IP: Logged

I love that segment. I miss Rick Mercer on that show. As an American living in Canada (and have lived NEXT to Canada over half my life) I love this show. My favorite two bits were "Should Canadians adopt the 24 hour day?" and "Should Canadians end the practice of putting their old people on ice flows & letting them float off?" HA! IP: Logged
Jaimes78 Housemate	posted 03-06-2004 08:21 AM quote: Originally posted by meggo: "Should Canadians end the practice of putting their old people on ice flows & letting them float off?" HA! ooo ooo, apparently my little hometown of Qualicum Beach has more seniors per capita, or the oldest population, or something like that, than any other town in Canada... therefore, i definitely think we should continue this practice! snicker IP: Logged

natalie Housemate	posted 03-20-2004 04:36 PM Sorry I've disappeared guys - I've been working like a madwoman! I'd love to get together for a digsmeet - please email me at adamnatalie at telus dot net when you know when it's going to be. I miss you all but I am having such a fantastic experience in my job - so happy!!! IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 03-20-2004 05:54 PM waves frantically Hi Natalie!! I'm so glad that you're liking your new job! Beach is going to be moving to Vancouver fairly soon, soonest being the end of May. It would be great to have her there, especially since she's never lived here before. Did you guys want to still have a digsmeet in April, and then have another one in the Summer, or would you rather just wait and have one when Beach gets here? I'm cool with either. Also, did you guys want to do dinner or lunch this time? Somewhere where we're allowed to take pictures. Stupid St@rbucks. (is "soonest" a word? Probably not.) IP: Logged
Beach Housemate	posted 03-22-2004 07:31 AM Did Starbucks freak out when you tried to take pictures? What's with that? If you guys do your April digsmeet, I'm cool with hooking up with you in the summer. I'll be in Port Coquitlam when I first get into town anyway... then hopefully I'll move into the city. IP: Logged
yam Housemate	posted 03-22-2004 07:56 AM yeah, apparently there's some rule that you can't take pictures inside a starbucks. we took some right outside with their sign in it, though! heh heh. IP: Logged
jenfleurs Housemate	posted 03-31-2004 12:38 PM Yay! I get to go to the Fire and Ice celebration in Qualicum Beach!! Anyone around there wanna have a mini-digsmeet? IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 04-05-2004 01:42 PM oohh! I reeeeally wish I could. I love Qualicum. Unfortunately, it's a two hour ferry and a half hour drive away. I actually "accidentally" went to the Fire and Ice Festival a couple of years ago. It's pretty cool. What are you going to be there for? Ooh, are you making chili or an ice sculpture??? IP: Logged
Jaimes78 Housemate	posted 04-05-2004 11:14 PM i'll probably be at Fire and Ice... it's so much fun and it gets so crowded!! i tried to convince my boss to enter the chilli competition, but i don't think we actually will. heehee. IP: Logged
Nemily Housemate	posted 04-07-2004 10:51 AM Hey all, I'm from London, Ontario! Well right now anyways, after this semester is done i'm moving back home to waterloo region for the summer. I've lurked around here for while, but I'm just starting to post. IP: Logged
jenfleurs Housemate	posted 04-08-2004 12:05 PM My roomate is in the ice carving competition. Boy and I are driving down to cheer him on. And also, I have family that lives there. My uncle runs a bike shop. I think it's called Head over Wheels...? I can't wait!! Should be a good trip. IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 04-08-2004 02:25 PM ohhohh! are you going to stop in Vancouver? IP: Logged
jenfleurs Housemate	posted 04-19-2004 10:12 AM yes, but only very briefly. I wish I could fit in a meet but I just dont think it's possible. We leave Edmonton on Friday morning, drive all day, stop in Vancouver to pick up my friend and then to the ferry and over to the island. We hope to be on the island by Friday night. Possible? hopefully. Tiring...absolutley. But if our plan doesn't work and we end up staying in Vancouver over night I will post and see whose around for a quick meet and greet. IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 05-14-2004 04:50 PM any digsters in the vancouver area are invited to the digsmeet: Saturday, May 15th (tomorrow!) Noon Big Downtown Library, near TD bank machines (in concourse, across from actual library entrance) Bring a picnic lunch! Yay! IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 06-26-2004 01:14 PM natalie, how's the non-long distance relationship going? how's everyone else doing these days? I've decreased my Digs time from obsessive-compulsive, to twice a day or so. Stupid working at work--who really does that?? IP: Logged
yam Housemate	posted 06-27-2004 12:08 AM enjoying my lovely life of student leisure. ahhhh. this week that involves watching way, way too much buffy the vampire slayer. IP: Logged
Jaimes78 Housemate	posted 06-27-2004 12:44 PM hey you guys! sorry i haven't been around much lately... summer is crazy busy at the resort. i go to work then come home and veg. heehee. in other news, Erik popped the big question last night! it was totally awesome! i've been emailing far-away friends pix of my ring we'll be heading up to Whistler in a couple of days - we'll be there for Canada day which is super cool! what are you all gonna be up to for Canada day... have you all decided who you're voting for?? IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 06-27-2004 01:30 PM oh my gosh! Congrats Jaimes! That's sooo awesome! How'd it happen? Were you expecting it?? Wow...again, congrats! I've decided who I'm voting for. This election is going to be very interesting. I care way more about this election than any in the past--I don't know if it's because I'm older, or if it's because I feel more passionately about certain issues in this country, but yeah...I'll definitely be following the coverage tomorrow. Canada Day? Oh yeah...shoot. I forgot about that. It'll be kinda weird to have to go back to work just for Friday. I never end up doing anything big on Canada Day--things always fall through! I think I'll end up doing some cleaning, or catching up on some reading. woooo. hehehe. IP: Logged
yam Housemate	posted 06-27-2004 11:17 PM oh wow, congratulations!!! I will be in vermont for canada day, very ironically. But then we'll be in Ottawa for the fourth of july, so I think that will balance out the irony meter, or overload it, or something. I am little miss ndp, no shocker there.. I am on tenterhooks about tomorrow! There are so many local ridings that are close contests for the ndp, and of course nationally it's such a total crapshoot about who'll form a minority government with who. conservative/bloc? liberal/ndp? hoy, it could go anywhere.

Wow...again, congrats! not expecting it at all... which is funny cuz he talked to my parents about a month ago, and had the ring made, and talked to his parents and even my little sis knew!! i was totally clueless. we'd never even gone so far as to look at rings! my older sis called me at work today and screamed into the phone for at least the first 10 seconds! she's been waiting for this day for longer than i have! heehee. very happy!

Beach Housemate	posted 07-10-2004 05:03 PM Whew, after four long years in Wisconsin, I've returned to Canada (yay) and am getting settled in Vancouver. Is there no Vancouver thread here? I'm an East Coast girl so this is all new to me but I'm liking it. Being two blocks from the beach does't hurt. =) Any Vancouver digsmeets planned? IP: Logged
jazzberry Housemate	posted 07-11-2004 02:23 AM yay! Welcome to the Left Coast! I'm super busy every weekend until...er...the second week of September, unfortunately. I have random weekdays free, though. IP: Logged
natalie Housemate	posted 07-13-2004 12:20 PM Hey ladies! I am working downtown for the next few months so I am available on weeknights to meet in the city if anyone's up for it. Jazz, yam and I would love to give you a good welcome to Vancouver, Beach, so let's see what we can organize!! IP: Logged
yam Housemate	posted 07-13-2004 03:27 PM I'm free pretty much any night except thursdays and sundays. Lovin' my lax summer schedule. IP: Logged
