June 21st, 2011 in 20something, AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, and now you might know everything, anger and I have sat down for tea, because "guilt" is a dirty word, here is my heart, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, it's a long one (twss), italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, note on a non-scandal, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., seriously, Slyvia Path has nothing on me, thank you Eleni, the world according to me, when i say it anyway Let’s just start out by saying this. I’m not 100% percent bitter, only about 83%. And not at all moms. Just 31% of them. But a title called “Why I’m 83% Bitter at 31% of Moms” gave my math phobic self severe heart palpitations.
One of my favourite bloggers once said “everyone has something”, a statement referring to the idea that each person is going through their own battle- a notion that has really hit home with me in the last few months. Bloggers with children are no exception. I read a lot of blogs of women in their 30′s and …READ MORE
March 27th, 2011 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, 20something, happiness, hello universe? I love you, I like annoying people by talking about how much i like comic sans, i love fragment sentences, i should be a cheerleader, i should be a P.S.A., I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it makes sense to me, it's almost like a meme, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, life lesson, love harder, right on my sleeve, the world according to me, when I go all Dr. Phil on you, you're skimming this one The best part about telling the internet everything about your life is that when you decide to pull a Yoda and drop down some knowledge bombs people can’t be all like ‘what the hell? what does this girl know?” because well, we know that some stuff has gone down.
Not that tragic events or celebratory moments automatically give someone a free stamp in the passport of Life- but I do find that when life kicks you squarely in the ladyparts or the universe gives you an unexpected high-five, a person tends to do a bit more reflection. Sure, it usually …READ MORE
June 13th, 2010 in 20something, advice, confession of the day, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, here is my heart, i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it makes sense to me, life lesson, lists, love harder You know, I feel sometimes like I haven’t been fair. Before H.A.D. was diagnosed, I turned to the internet and asked for help. And everyone responded in huge, gorgeous and memorable ways by posting my plea. And after we found out he had Multiple Myeloma? You all responded again, through your kind words, the worlds best video and donations. And then H.A.D. got overwhelmed and I fell apart and nothing felt easy or right and it seemed so much easier to not share, not talk, not explain. It seemed easier to sit in my own stew of feelings- of jealousy …READ MORE
June 17th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, 20something, competition makes me crazy, confession of the day, i should be a P.S.A., i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, it makes sense to me, it's not you it's me, lists, the one that nobody reads because of the title, the title says it all, the world according to me, this is where I grew up, top 10, Wednesday nights make me frisky, when i say it anyway 1. I don’t need to spend a Saturday night hanging out with people who saw me during my “Mondetta Sweatshirt = Formal Wear” phase.
2. I still haven’t gotten over the fact that in the sixth grade my arch enemy told people I bought boys deodorant.
3. Umm… reunions are for catching up with people and finding out what they are doing with their lives. That’s what Facebook is for now. And I don’t have to make small talk while stalking. Win!
4. I saw my tenth grade crush the other day and he’s losing all his hair. Oh! And …READ MORE
May 14th, 2009 in 20something, brookem is awesome!, charm, confession of the day, disappointment, ego boost, friends, happiness, here is my heart, hey it's Friday! let's say something nice, i know- we all LOVE him, i second that emotion, i wrote this just for the picture, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, it makes sense to me, it's okay- you can skim this one, life lesson, quote of the day, self improvement, so sappy it hurts, the world according to me For reasons I will never be able to articulate, I seem to swing violently between being 100% confident in my life and my choices and the direction I’m going- to the other extreme, 100% puddle on the kitchen floor, all emo with mascara stains on my cheeks feeling like I have yet to make a right choice and my life is doomed for failure before I hit thirty. There’s no in between, no grey area, no room to stretch- to accept that some choices might have been successes while others were failures. I paint everything with the same brush: it’s …READ MORE
March 23rd, 2009 in 20something, beauty can get ugly, blogs, confession of the day, house fire incident of 2005, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, it makes sense to me, it's a long one (twss), italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, learning, life lesson, lists, Oh Canada!, the last line is my favourite, the one that nobody reads because of the title, the secret project, this is where I grew up, you're skimming this one Obama equals change. 40 is the new 30. Iphones make you cool, not recycling equals polar bear murder, drinking beer will always mean you get the hot blonde in minimal clothing. We are bombarded with the idea that so much of what we see and taste and believe in, is equal to something else. Will result in something else. That our world consists of people, events, products that can be easily interchanged with other people, events and products. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and realized that though this can often be true, it is just as often …READ MORE
March 18th, 2009 in 20something, adventure, confession of the day, hello universe? I love you, i should be a P.S.A., I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it makes sense to me, quote of the day, something I won't forget, the less i worry the happier i am, thinking, when I go all Dr. Phil on you
Watch this. It’s free, the soundtrack is excellent and you get to see joy on the face of many when they get free noodles and underwear.
Also? I couldn’t think of a better time for it to be released, could you?
I’m heading out the door, to you know… the sub. For the niece. This poor girl She’s probably wonderful but anytime I say ‘the niece‘, I say it in the same way people say ‘the gout’, or ‘the bastard ex boyfriend’. Clearly I need to work on this.
I’m also in two other places today….
1. I’m here talking about Pacey, cheese and pirates. (Ben has already boo’ed me for this post, so you know I’ve said something wrong…) 2. I’m here talking about why I’m like a camel.
Have a great weekend universe!
September 7th, 2008 in 20something, adventure, blogs, relationships, self improvement, so sappy it hurts, the title says it all, the world according to me, what i found when i went looking, when I go all Dr. Phil on you, who's the boss now?, you're skimming this one * This post was inspired by the new website I’m excited to be a part of. To read a more comprehensive list of what I’ve learned in my seven glorious years as a 20something, head over here. And even if you couldn’t care less about what I’ve learned about blow dryers and beer, head over there anyway and check out the other wonderful thoughts by writers far more talented than me.
Listing what I’ve learned in my 20′s seems foolish now that I’ve started. What I thought I knew, I forgot. Lessons I thought I’ve learned, need repeating. Mantras …READ MORE
