Cherry Blossoms in High Park

So, as mentioned in my previous post, I'm here at High Park enjoying the cherry blossoms. It's not as party-ish as I remember it from last year, but in all fairness, it's considerably earlier in the day than my visit back then.

I had an interesting revelation this afternoon. At this time last year, I was still working at Rydium. I was enjoying my brand new laptop so much so that I was taking it everywhere, just so I could blog about stuff.... As far as my laptop goes, not much has changed, but my personal life is considerably different.

My relationship with Melanie has been amazing so far. She keeps asking me to blog about how awesome she is, and I guess now is about as good a time as any. Melanie is pretty damn fabulous. It's a strange thing to spend a year with someone like her. You're still two very different people, but you both work very hard at trying to understand the other person better. I know that when she's upset, the best way to cheer her up is popcorn and diet fountain Coke with two straws, and she knows that I strongly believe that the Moulin Rouge soundtrack improves on any situation... even when you're laying quietly under the trees.

I guess that it's an inevitability of being with someone for this long: you start to get them, despite the giant walls we build around ourselves... It's a wonderful experience and one I'm happy to share with her.

Happy (belated) Beltane everyone.
