So friday I organised to meet up with a girl I had been chatting to on facebook and who lived pretty nearby!

Her name is Jessica, she's from Ottawa in Canada, she lives in Ingaydong with her mate from home!! They both came together and work at the same school! So I met her flatmate Michelle and...
