Living with a roommate isn't always easy... unless you have my roommate!
I wanted to talk a little bit about my experience living downtown for the past 10 months. It has been a wild expensive ride, but I do have to say I have loved every single moment. Even when there was a breeze coming through the apartment, even when it's so hot you are contemplating sleeping outside, I still wouldn't trade it for the world!
We have constant entertainment in Centretown whether it's a private show from the local homeless guitar player, or from the guy who comes by at least once a day to go through our recycling. (Little does he know we keep the empties in the apt - but we'll keep that to ourselves!) Having a wrap around porch has given us an extra "room" during the summer. And allows for some hilarious moments when people think its the main entrance to the apartment! We also get to witness terrible drivers cause small accidents at the corner! I witnessed a man almost get hit by a car, little did I know he was drunk and fell off his bike and the car just missed him... not the other way around! And what is with people thinking you can turn left from the centre lane as opposed to properly merging over --- THEN ---- turning left... this is one of the most frequent incidences we witness!!
Living in Centretown although lively, is really amazing! Close to all amenities, transit, work (well my work anyways) and best of all the hustle and bustle of downtown Ottawa. The big little city has lots to offer and I will be sure to blog about it in my next few blogs!
Really in the end, this is a message for my roommate.
All I can say (PuppyShoe) is that it has been the best experience of my life living with you! I could not have asked for a better roommate or best friend. I can honestly say I will never forget our time together at the 4-5-0 and that it will be missed when it is no longer...
I can only hope our lives will stay as close and connected however it may end up. I love you like a sister and I always will. Cheers to the beers, and to many more years of the McDum---ness!
I would like to conclude with this:
"I'm here for you bro. I got a lifetime of knowledge."

Lemon --- out!
