My story starts here, on a small island called Denman Island in Beautiful British Columbia. I wasn't actually born here physically but my life definitely began here. It is a small hippie enclave of about 1200 people (swelling to a maximum of about 1500 people during the 'heat' of the summer). We have great dances and a wonderful place to grow up. It's a bit slow for a teenager, and lacks either a middle or a high school though. So I need to continue my story in Courtenay...
