Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
I don’t ask for much – In fact, I love December! Next to July it’s my favourite month! Well, truth be told, it’s very much close to a tie. The only thing July has on you December is my birthday.

You know what I can’t stand? Those people who disagree with absolutely everything you say just because they can. More than half the time, they don’t even disagree with your idea or the topic in general – but they’ll find a way to say the same thing differently enough so that it sounds like they’re … Continue reading Those People
