The numbers game

6 months. 6 bloody months. I cannot believe I've been here for half a year already. On the one hand it's gone so quickly, but on the other it seems like so long ago I was taking my first tentative steps onto the bus from the airport to downtown Vancouver.

In honour of this milestone I thought I'd do a few numbers that might be in some way interesting. So here goes:

200 - Unique visitors to the blog. Well at least since I started tracking the stats in mid-August. Who the hell are all these people? I don't even know 200 people, Facebook tells me I don't. 12 countries represented as well.

781 - The number of emails in my inbox. Don't be fooled, 90% of those are from Facebook. That makes me feel sad.

49 - days since Rosie was asked to write the blog entry. Apparently not asking her to do things means she gets them done. Hasn't worked for the last 2 weeks.

5 (conservative estimate) - people who think there was something going on between me and Rosie. There wasn't. Sorry.

172 - people who think there's something going on between me and Greg. There is. Sorry.

4 - people who've offered to marry me so I can stay in the country. I think one of them was even fairly serious.

34307 (conservative estimate) - people who have thought I'm Australian. Someone in the shop asked me the other day "Are you Australian?" To which I replied "No, English". She then said "Ohhh, that's better".

18 - games bought since I arrived, 3 per month. I have a problem.

16 - amount in dollars for the first round of drinks. Lesson learnt = don't buy imported beer.

25 (estimate) - times Greg has told me "You're a bad man".

10 - number of points Liverpool are behind United. HA. Sorry Piers.

700 (estimate) - dollars I've spent on lunch whilst working. That's ridiculous. I blame Quiznos and their delicious subs. In fact I want one now.

0 - number of times I've regretted coming to Canada.

Here's to the next 6 months. Unless the marriage thing pans out. I'll let you know.
