Patricia Cowell:  

Life Well most who remember me, remember me as a pathetic, well, dork, loser, whatever it is you would say...I have to admit, I was pathetic, no self-esteem or self-confidence at all...and worse part was, I relied on everyone else's exceptance...not anymore! I've prospered here in BC...made some new friends...I can definitely be a little quirky...If anyone who knew me back in Ontario saw me today, they wouldn't even recoginse me! I've gained all the self-assurance I never had back then...and it shows... BC is nice...I'm living in Nanaimo which is on Vancouver Island...and, which will come as a surprise to anyone, I have never been to Vancouver...but that is something I am planning to change this summer... The weather is ridiculous here! Downpours of rain with tons of sun...and there is always rain eventually here...but snow...yeah, not much of that going around...tops a week of snow in total...which is one of the reasons I miss Ontario, I LOVE the snow - which you don't realize until after you don't have it... I am still in school...going to Malaspina U-C...really nice place, small, but friendly...I have a magnificient boyfriend who is absolutely wonderful to me, his name is Matt...yet another Matt to be added to the list of Matts that I know! Most assume that when you live here you get in to drugs and stuff...yeah, I tried it...quite a few times...and it never took any effect on me...and I don't do them...And majority of my friends don't either, although there are quite a few exceptions... I have this great friend named Christine...we know each other so well after knowing each other for so little a time...people mistaken us for sisters...we think it's great...and the best part is...we met on April Fool's Day, the day one of my exes dumped me, and the person who introduced us ...Expand for more
