Overseas in 8 days

I was standing in the Metro at Peel in Montreal.  Me and some friends had just finished going to the movies. Zoning out on my music it dawned on me. My last day of work is Saturday! I'm leaving the country in 8 days.  I have so much to do.  I can't believe this actually happening. Gaby and I are going to Thailand and Australia!!! 

What a trip this is gonna be.  I fell like everything was happening so slowly and now it's all so fast.  It's true that I am a beach girl, island girl, but not so much a city girl anymore.  I just want to sit in a hammock and stare forever.  I want to be able to stare so far out into the world that it fells like it never ends.  It reminds me how small we are and how we're all part of the same thing.  Like when your up at a Ski hill for the day.  Up in the cafeteria everyone's hair is deshevelled and this Lady is struggling to get her boot off.  She notices you watching and can't help laughing and you smile because you know exactly how she's feeling...

My name's Annie.  I'm a musician from Vancouver BC.  ( this is where I put that line about being an island girl, beach girl, and city girl. But I'm changing and evolving and thats why I'm going over seas.) I recently moved to Montreal to play music and so far I love it.  What I don't love is the winter:)  So for the first time in my life I'm cheating the gatekeeper of the seasons.  I'm skipping winter.  For the next 8 days I'm fully comitting to winter so I can get the fashion out of my system.  Then it's off to the unknown.
