An almost 360 degree view of Scarborough (part of the GTA - greater Toronto area) from my uncle's balcony (on the 14th floor). While I found the view interesting (you can almost see the CN tower) I found it very noisy - not even specific noises, like a specific siren or something, but just the dull background noise that seems very invasive to me; I live in the suburbs of a smaller city about an hour outside Toronto, and when you step outside all you can hear is birds chirping and the wind blowing in the trees.

A special thanks to RachelB and to all of you beautiful hitRECorders.

I just received this beautiful hitRECOrd bracelet from Madeline ("imadealine" on hitRECord) all the way from California. Madeline is my pen pal and she sent me a really special package with all kinds of cool stuff, including a really nice letter.

Now that I've posted this on the site, I've gotten out my pen and pad to write a reply to her.

THANK YOU SO MUCH MADELINE!!! <3
