the summer's coming back and it brings a second chance if you're not part of this then I don't want to know
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
(My current mood is  .  Just in case you were interested.  Oh, and the internet is  .)

    New Blog
  New blog is up and running at www.dayone.blogspot.com.  You'll notice that the template looks much the same as this one, with some minor changes -- despite the fact that Julie tells me it's inherently and absurdly counterintuitive, I kind of like it, so I just played around with it a bit.  The text of the blog is also mirrored at isolde_101.livejournal.com if you prefer livejournal, although there's less sidebar stuff there.
  I have just one request.  One of the main reasons I'm moving blogs is to adopt an internet handle, as opposed to using my real name.  So, please, play the game with me and don't call me susan or suzy or suzy q...despite the fact that I love my name and these nicknames.  And if you link to me, could you change the link name too?  I'm definitely going overboard on paranoia here, but I've had to sign and swear to a lot of confidentiality agreements recently, and I'm not entirely sure what they entail yet.  I'd just rather be safe than sorry.  So, please and thank you, adopt my new nickname.  :)  If you have any similar requests of me in terms of linking/naming, I'm happy to oblige -- just let me know.
  I'll leave Fragments up for a few weeks before taking it down, mostly because I'm a pack rat and want to keep a copy of all my posts.  :)
  Thank you all again for your reading and commenting over the past few years.  I hope to be a better poster in the future.
  signing off,
  ~SQ

    Weather: Sunny but cooler -- the wistful late-August special
  Goodnight and Good Luck
  This will be my last post from Fragments.  
  I began this blog back in my first year of university.  Now that I'm moving on to a new phase of my life, I feel that it's time to retire this space.  Perhaps I do this too often -- abandoning old structures when my life changes -- but nevertheless, I feel that it needs to be done.  I will let everyone know when a new blog-like space is up and running, because in all likelihood, there will be one.
  In the meantime -- thank you all for reading, commenting, and putting up with my haphazard posting style.  In whatever incarnation comes next, I would love to be a more regular communicator.  We'll see how it goes.
  love,
  ~SQ

	The name's Susan.  I'm 23, Canadian, in 3 months of limbo between undergrad and medical school, 
trying to act like an adult, feeling like a child, and hoping that one day I'll know what I want out of life.  I've been affected by the brilliance of Tori Amos, Shakespeare, Harry Potter,
The X-Files(an old but worthy fandom), Douglas Coupland, Philip Larkin, Barenaked Ladies, Tom Stoppard, Timothy Findley, and Douglas Adams (among many others).
  No one ever said I made sense, but here I am anyway.  Welcome to my humble space.
