going to toronto on monday for the first time in about 13 years. wow, how strange. i'm actually going for work, believe it or not. and i'm making sure to see my precious friend lindsay. i haven't seen her for around 13 years also. i'm wondering what that's gonna be like.

it's also bringing up old memories of my first few years in canada, as the korean-immigrant: the days of carrying dictionaries, blurs of middle school (except having a crush on one steven logan, and thinking how cool my homeroom teacher mr. schneider was). i also wonder what happened to one nicholas brown, who was the first boy ever to call me at home, got me in trouble (at age 16! life was unfair) and would totally ambush me at school by jumping outta from nowhere to smother me with hugs & kisses on the cheeks. i was so shocked - this kind of a behavior was not normal to me! AND he was younger than me by 2 years. what the heck. this went on for like a year. i wonder what happened to him.
