My Last Birthday Party in Toronto

I had a lovely night tonight out with a good cross-section of my friends here in The Big Smoke. People I know from the real world, or meatspace activities like TEV or The TPSC were there, as well as a bunch of the people I've met online. And most importantly, they all got along (and even mingled!) very well. It's a nice social experiment I like to do every year and I'm all warm and fuzzy-like on the results of this evening. Thank you to everyone who could come out.

As the title says, this will be my last June 25th in this city -- unless for some reason I decide to do a birthday on a Toronto vacation in the future. I'm not sure how I feel about it all really. It's a hell of a thing to partition your social life on opposite sides of a country this size... There's not one way you can put it all together in the end. Somehow, regardless of what you do, you'll be away from people you care about... forever. I just hope lots of them come to visit (or move!) out West.
