Things in Threes

I went to family counselling at the Richmond Centre. It looks good, so far--the initiative is now on my parents to make an appointment. If not, at least I'll know what to make of them.

I got cards back from McGill, Western Ontario, Wilfrid Laurier, and Dalhousie. Nothing wrong at the first three universities; Dalhousie, though, appears to be terminally confused. ::sigh:: I'll phone them in the morrow.

Oh, and Mission Arcturus is here!

One-Year Anniversary Note

As I write, it's just under two hours before the one-year anniversary of the moment when I realized that I was bi. (Thanks, Tom!)

It's been an interesting year--strained and tiring in places, but on the whole quite fun. I just finished watching the second-season Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Lie to Me", and the final dialogue really spoke to me:

Buffy: Nothing's ever simple anymore. I'm constantly trying to work it out. Who to love or hate. Who to trust. It's just, like, the more I know, the more confused I get.

Giles: I believe that's called growing up.

Buffy: I'd like to stop then, okay?

Giles: I know the feeling.

Buffy: Does it ever get easy?

[...]

Giles: You mean life?

Buffy: Yeah. Does it get easy?

Giles: What do you want me to say?

Buffy: (looks up at him) Lie to me.

Giles: (considers a moment) Yes, it's terribly simple.

It hasn't been simple, not by a long shot, and there's still a lot of things I'd like to do and have to do. Still, it's been fun, and I'm quite grateful for that for all my complaints.
