very long-distance relationship

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2006.03.04

It's funny, maintaining a relationship with someone on the other side of the Pacific. We'd only dated a few times before I was booted from her country but we're doing quite well online.

It's also refreshing being in a relationship that's not fraught with baggage. I almost don't know how to behave without having to indulge a neurotic partner in "down days" and self-destructive behavior of every kind. I guess in this circumstance I'm clearly the unstable one. Dang.

In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnation without government permission.
