we had the funnest pizza party at next today. it was so great. i like it when everyone stays and mingles together. you know? that's the way it should be. it made me really happy.
i am a highly communicative person. at least in written form. via writing i will tell people things i wouldn't say under normal circumstances. i think i assumed everyone was that way. but i'm starting to grasp that not everyone feels natural while writing. in fact, for some people writing is an unbelievable challenge.
i'm not sure why, but i feel like everything that comes out of his mouth is completely fraudulent. a total phony, and he's the only person who doesn't know it.
this evening melissa came over for a cup of tea and a visit. it was funny because when she arrived she gave me a big hug in the kitchen, the curtains were wide open and a lady walking by the front of my house was watching us. we laughed, but it seemed so weird! like, can't a girl hug her friend in the privacy of her own kitchen? jeepers...
tomorrow i'm going to ask HR about the possibility of taking a leave of absence from work for 6 to 8 weeks in the new year. nothing to be concerned about, i'm just considering having a grand adventure and a meaningful experience beyond the boarders of my ordinary life. the knickers will not be pleased, hence the reason i'm bypassing her and asking HR. cross your fingers....
i'm working it out.

Sounds exciting!
im totaly the same way-
in written form i can say things id NEVER say, i feel so comfortble and free. i think your very good at both forms for communication though. that's why i decided u were friend worthy. haha.
i like how u write.
it makes me smile.
good luck talking to her tommorrow!
im so excited at the idea.
how did it go?
it is exciting, but i think i'll be told no. i looked up the ontario policy on leave of absence, and it seems they only do that kind of thing for medical reasons or emergencies or deaths in the family.
you're a good writer shannon. just like cas said. if you had a blog i would totally read it. like every day, even if you rarely posted, i'd just re-read your entries. i really enjoy your emails, they're super funny. i'm glad you find me friend-worthy :)
see "daisy chain" for further details.
they probably aren't under any legal obligation to give you an upaid leave of absence, but if you can work it out and have a good relationship with your employer, they definitely have the power and perogative to give you one. i hope it's a possibility!
i'm still waiting to hear back from her. if i don't soon i'll wander over to ask her in person. ya, i hope they ok it, it would be a nice change.
