Ok, so after 1 interpol concert, 1 country bar, far too many drinks, a really long bikeride, 3 days of packing, a bunch of tears and a 16 hour bus ride.. I am now in Williams Lake BC, getting ready to start my tree-planting adventure. I'm going to be here, and have access to the internet (god-bless the local library for having "guest passes") for the next 8 days approx, give or take a few. So I'll be able to update you guys on what it's like (at least at first) and tell you whether or not I have decided to become a full blown hippie. Which I doubt, because I ate this organic apple on the way up here and suffered mightily for it. I believe in pesticides.
I left last night at midnight with Susan and we arrived around now.. It was actually not so bad, a lot better than I thought it was going to be. 1/3 of the bus was treeplanters coming from Ontario (!) so it was nice to hear all the excited chatter and whatnot. They all seem like a particular, and peculiar, and frighteningly similar (see: me) type of people. I think I'll be ok out here. Susan says it's 90% mental.. and that since I was pretty much 100% mental, I would be ok. I think this may be a job where obsessive compulsive disorder may come in handy. That, or a distorted sense of reality. Like the ability to laugh at the fact we're actually staying in a logging town, where the fruits of our labour are eventually turned into deck furniture. Sweet.
Alright all, I'll attempt an update now and then. Otherwise, please consider Poshlust Inc. on hiatus.. and adventure.

Good luck Andrea! Can't wait to hear your updates
Good luck, and I think that kind of thing is kind of fun. Go off in the woods with some hippies. Good for ya.
