i miss parties! i miss having parties, i miss going to other people's parties, i miss the people at parties.

Just imagine the parties we will have once you and Ziad return to the great white north.

i don't actually think that will ever happen, though. unless our careers take radically different paths than those we have been working towards. and even then, not for another 6 years or so.
apparently the solution is to become so very rich that i can afford to fly back to the twin cities just for parties.
