10111

Legally, I think I am now 23, though I was born eight time zones to the west.

Friends back in Vancouver, and around the world, I miss you all.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.

  1. I don’t know what time of day you were born, but now it’s the 28th here so happy birthday again (for the last time this year)

  2. Birthdays take on a different timbre when it stops being “X years until I can drive / drink / vote” and it starts being “X years until I am probably safe from any reimposition of the draft.”

  3. You’re not 23 in my time zone yet. You’ll have to wait for a congratulations from me.

  6. A very Happy Birthday from right here in your home time zone. I hope the year is rewarding, enjoyable, and enlightening.

  8. SAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of the things I was going to try and send you for your birthday. I know there’s not enough of it at Oxford. You could put it in your bed and pretend that you had just spent the day naked and drinking whatever was the daily special at wreck beach. It gets into every crack!!! Other thing I would like to send you I’m not giving up on qhuite yet. I may still be able to send it eventually!!!! And if you’re really good you might get a hamilton post card with a picture of someone throwing up in our lovely Gore Park City Fountain. But you’ll have to be really really good for that. So you’re only a year older then me boy. But you are doing amazing things. You sir are a star. One of the brightest in my life, and I’m so greatful to have you as a friend. I love you very dearly and am happy to be able to take the time to tell you on this special day where we all think about how your parent’s had sex, and wonder what posistion did they use when you were concieved. Sorry if there are any spelling errors. I hope you are having a fantastic birthday shindig and look forward to speaking with you again soon.

    love

  12. I hadn’t had pistachio nuts in over a year, until my mother sent some along with my father as a birthday gifts. Let it be known that pistachios are the greatest among nuts.

    Thanks, also, to all those above who left comments.
