I can’t believe I’m writing this entry but then again, it was bound to happen eventually,I’m sure. It’s been nearly 9 months since my tongue has had the pleasure of tasting the godly deliciousness that is Tim Horton’s coffee. I fucking swear, this shit’s like a drug. I needed my Timmie’s daily. But then I jumped on a plane form Ottawa and flew to Detroit then into Seattle where I was picked up and driven to town where I would reside till the immigration paperwork is complete.
My last coffee I think was the morning I left. After my last day of work I had to go home, get the rest of my shit packed and leave for the airport. I want to say my last coffee was at the Ottawa airport but I ended up getting sick, puked in the parking lot..just because my nerves were shot. So I didn’t even get to enjoy my last Timmie’s really.
I miss my extra large triple triple that I’d have every night before work....I miss the Ice Capps in the summer(I have to settle for a Frapp now -_-)…The croissants, the donuts and the Timbits(I know I know, they’re donuts and donut holes here, same damn thing…but it’s the name that means something to me, I’ll look too alien asking for Timbits here)..
....sigh....
I miss it so much that I actually asked mom to send me some for Christmas, and I haven’t asked a bloody thing of my parents in years! Hah!
Here is Starbucks....or various mocha stands that dot the country roads and in the town..The number of mocha stand here is equivalent to the number of Tim Horton’s there are in Canada..Rideau Centre in Ottawa had 3 Timmie’s just in the mall itself…and another just down the road. Canada is infested with Timmie’s I’m hoping for them to open on in Seattle, I doubt if they actually open one right here in Snohomish.....sigh…
Oh yeah.. the other weird thing about living here is the lack of MacIntosh apples, They’re an organic food here, very pricey…It’s an apple that grows in peoples back yards where I’m from. It’s just weird.
What else is weird…?
No Poutine
They are ‘Beanie’s‘ here, not ‘Toques’
No Habitant Pea soup
No Beaver Tails
Heh..no snow here, All rain, very mild
Very floral in the summer but the fall has hardly any colour, whereas where I’m from, the colour of Fall is incredibly vibrant but not as floral in the summer. And I’m used to seeing mountains of snow in the winter
Spellcheck says I spell ‘colour’ and ‘flavour’ wrong
Way less bums here
No one has ever heard of Sucre a Creme
No Vachon (boxed baked good brand that makes Passion Flakie, Joe Louie, Half Moons, Mille Feuilles etc.)
It’s Seahawks football here, not Habs, Leafs or Sens (Not that I care for hockey at all....or beer, sorry, but yeah, I am Canadian hehe)
I can’t think of anything else right now but there’s a lot. I have learned that I do in fact have an accent, I’ve never noticed it before I came here, but I do say words ending in ‘out’ and ‘ouse’ differently than anyone here, people have pointed it oot.. yeah, I went there..sorry..oh, and I guess I do apologize a lot heh..
Later,
