Reporting live from the tundra that is Canada!

*que background music, "I'm the only gay eskimo"*

Ok, well admittedly it's not actually that cold here today (-6C/21F), but the other day we were down to about -40 C/F with windchill. I'm not sure if it's good or bad that I'm used to that kind of weather, the town I grew up in had temperatures like that for weeks at a time, so I'm well accustomed to freezing my ass off.

As you can see this is my first post on the collab-blog so here's a little about me:

- I'm gay (as if that wasn't obvious)... and single *wink* :P
- I was born and raised in northern Alberta
- I have Polish heritage (both parents) and am therefore both a Polish/EU and Canadian citizen
- I love music of almost all kinds and can't live without it, my favorite genre however is Dance/Trance/Electro
- I currently live in Calgary
- I'm a Physics Major at the University of Calgary and love it so!
- I'm obsessed with imported things, everything from food to cars to music to electronics
- My favorite colour is blue
- I was a competitive alpine skier for 8 years and participated in the Arctic Winter Games (thats right, not only did I wear spandex in public, but also froze my ass off regularly doing so!)
- Photography and traveling are my two biggest hobbies

Alright, well I won't tell you everything since that would just make the rest of my posts boring... onwards with ... err... something... *tries to think of what to write next*

... *several minutes later*...

My holidays went quite well, nothing overly eventful, just spent some time with the family and went to visit some family friends for a big ole Christmas dinner. New Years was also farily low key. I went to a small house party and had a festive time bringing in the new year. Overall despite not doing a lot over the break, I quite enjoyed the slowed tempo of it all. The fall semester was very busy especially the last month as it was expected to be. This is my first week back, and so far so good. I'm looking forward to 3 out of 4 courses, and the forth I don't really mind, but it's more of an annoyance then anything.

To answer Becca's question, my most significant present would have to be my new glasses, which hopefully will be ready sometime this week. Other then that I got some money and smaller items all of which I greatfully appreciated.

My question is what is one place you want to visit in the world and why (somewhere you haven't already been)?

Mine would be Ibiza, Spain, mainly becuase it is the global mecca of club/dance/trance music which I love! I also love the mediteranian and beaches and all that jazz.
