I figured-out the whole “don’t drink and drive” thing at age 17. I have been very good about it. Take a bus, call a taxi, call Dad, call a friend, or walk. Just don’t get behind the wheel when you are drunk. I always remind myself that the cost of [...]

Blog Wars

I woke up early this morning due to heavy snowfall. I love to listen to the “growing list of school closures” on CBC radio while I tuck my head deeper and deeper under the covers. Alas, my school district, Vancouver, remains open. So I decided to get up and check my feeds, email, and Facebook. [...]
Do thieves feel guilt?

I’ve been waking up angry most mornings. I have so much to be angry about, but my anger seems to be focussed on the Craiglsist house cleaner who stole my perfume and gift card earlier this month. I have fantasized about all sorts of revenge. I even mocked-up a little [...]

Just when I’m worried about giving away too much personal information, I come across a girl like Jody Gnant. She is live-streaming her whole life. I just watched her sleep for a few minutes, until I got bored. The idea of live-streaming my life is not appealing to me. I’m fascinated, however, to watch people [...]
Blogging: who, what, where, why, how?
Posted in blogging on January 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Questions about blogging fill my head. I move from room to room doing laundry, setting-up a Barbie Village, moving shoes, folding blankets and other daily chores. In my head I am planning my next blog-post, and wondering all the while “what is appropriate content?” I wonder what my motivation for blogging is. [...]
Today I threw some poetry in an envelope and mailed it to a poetry contest here in Canada. The first prize is $1000, but I’m not entering for the money. I just like knowing that someone other than me has read my poem, even if only once. That is also why I [...]
Fine Balance

So today was hard, but good. It seems most of my days are hard and good. Maybe that is not such a bad balance, really. I know I’ve been moaning a little in my blog about how life sucks for me, and it does at times, but it is also really great [...]
Frustration

I wish that telling my husband how bad he is at laundry was enough to fix my life, the mess that it is. But that’s not the answer. He just ends up feeling bad; his genetic inability to do laundry properly does not change. Don’t get me wrong, I love my husband, [...]
Confusing Day
Posted in blogging, depression, dreams on January 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
It’s my day off. Like most days, I did not get out of bed until 10:30. I’m super groggy. I’m waiting for UPS to deliver a package (2 of 2, 1 of 2 arrived yesterday.) I’m really confused. Messed-up. I can’t decide a bunch of stuff. I’ve been doing a lot of reading blogs, watching [...]
Bloggers Victorious

The Bloggers won last night’s Test The Nation Canada on CBC. I was thrilled to see Kerry Anne in the front row, along with Miss604, Amber Mac (sporting a new hair colour) and others.
I’ve got a crazy week this week: math midterms today, chemo-driver Wednesday, a post-op visit to breast surgeon, and Lauren’s birthday on [...]
