The first Remembrance Day that I remember clearly...I had to have been about 7. It was my first, and only, year in Brownies. I was chosen to walk with the Canadian flag in my town's Remembrance Day ceremony. This meant standing at attention in the cold, marching just ahead of the Veterans, standing with the flag while everyone sat during the church ceremony. Clearly it made an impression on me. In fact, I was stunned when I went to university to find out that Remembrance Day was not observed on campus (it is now).

A lot of the time I feel like I am stuck in this incestuous little lesbian community.I've heard of other lesbian communities feeling this way, but the extent this one reaches is unreal. I truly feel like everyone knows everyone, everyone knows each other's business, and everyone is telling someone something about someone else that may or may not (usually the case) be entirely true.We've got small town syndrome over here, and it drives me nuts!
