When summer vacation started, my summer plans list looked something like this: 1. get up at 7am everyday 2. learn a new language (preferably something useful like Mandarin) 3. blog a few times a week 4. go for a morning run 5. become a domestic goddess worthy of her own show on TLC. 6. PREPARE FOR HARRY POTTER WORLD!
Summer vacation is half over and so far this is what my list has morphed into: 1. get up before noon-ish (Like that ‘-ish’? I don’t like putting serious limits on myself. My body reacts badly to boundaries) …READ MORE
September 29th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, a possible regret, are you there God? It's me- ripping off Judy Blume, because "guilt" is a dirty word, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i know- we all LOVE him, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it's not you it's me, it's okay- you can skim this one, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, lists, man I'm such a girl, oh dear, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., pretty hair makes me happier, proof i attract crazy, things I don't say outloud, today has been crummy, when i ask you to do things for me, when i say it anyway, when it doesn't go my way, you're skimming this one I have a healthy ego. I regularly am delighted by my talents (like knowing all the words to this song – just for you Ben), nod in agreement when people tell me I’m great (I assure you, this is a little more adorable and far less annoying than I just made it sound), and marvel at my genius. But people? I’ve got faults. Heaps of them. Truckloads of them. So many that you could stack them up, climb on top of them and touch the moon with your fingertips.
See? I wasn’t kidding.
September has been an amazing month but …READ MORE

It's me- ripping off Judy Blume, confession of the day, earning my dork badge, i complain because I care, it happened this week, it's not you it's me, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, lists, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., school, the J.O.B., the one that nobody reads because of the title, these are the things that happen to me, you're skimming this one I was going to start this post as though I was dead and writing to you from the great beyond. But it was high on the creep factor and low on the funny (much like a guy I made many bad choices with). But I felt like I need to make some reference to death since I’ve started getting emails with- “ARE YOU DEAD?”. Which has caused to reflect on the fact that hey, I’m not dead. So I should write something to show that I AM alive, even if I’ve spent every waking moment of the last two weeks …READ MORE
The funny thing about bloggers is that we are often far more private than what people would expect. I mean, we have no qualms about discussing our relationships, our sex lives (or lack thereof, ahem), our goals, our failures, the reasons we get up in the morning and the stuff that makes us hide in bed with a bottle of lemon flavored vodka and back issues of Real Simple . But sometimes, it would appear- that leaving comments is too public. That’s when my gmail box gets flooded.
This week I got a lot of emails from people who didn’t …READ MORE
February 23rd, 2009 in are you there God? It's me- ripping off Judy Blume, brookem is awesome!, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, earning my dork badge, family, here is my heart, i know- we all LOVE him, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, people i like, right on my sleeve, so egan will LOVE this, the one that nobody reads because of the title, the world according to me, this one is about you, why I will never be the CEO of Apple Despite my love for sparkly prom-like dresses, my willingness to sit through hours of singing and dancing and my **mild appreciation of Wolverine Hugh Jackman, I wasn’t invited to the Oscars this year. AND WORSE YET, I wasn’t even nominated. I have a ridiculous vlog saved somewhere on my computer, I thought just making it would have been enough to secure a nomination, but no. If I would have vlogged about Slumdog Millionaire I would have got nominated. Man. I bet if I would have just looked directly into the camera and said “SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE!” I would have at least …READ MORE

Claire and I would choose our favorite books and share a tired, orange beanbag at the back of the classroom. We would read each other the stories and if we tired of reading, we would make up our own versions, which would always include cotton candy and/or a magical unicorn named Rusty.
One day, while sitting with Claire, I farted. Claire first looked surprised, then she started to cry. I asked her what was wrong and she told me I was going to hell. God didn’t let …READ MORE

(What a great way to start! I’m sure you all are hanging off the edge of your chair now that you know this post is in bullet form. I think I might even hear cheering from the cheap seats!)
I hate men. No, that’s not true. My lovelies (George, Josh and John- men who my heart calls only by their first name) shouldn’t be lumped in with the scoundrels that repeatedly stomp on my heart. Or at least.. other vital organs that are less cliche. Perhaps my liver? Anyway… men. …READ MORE

I think you want to, but I don’t think you do.” (Apparently I’m fine with completely dismissing the feelings of others) – “Well.” (long, awkward, pause that’s heavy with regret and ripe with tension) “That’s a bit unexpected.”
- “Are you sure?”
- “Your sneakers look really white right now.”
- “You’re James, right?”
- “Why?” (Not said in a cute or coy way, but in utter bewilderment. I may or may not have been wearing a tank top stained with orange juice at the time)
- “I really love parts of you …READ MORE

I asked my mom if she would ever go on and she cried out “OH NO!” before I had even finished the question. Of course, I followed that up with ” What? Is the milkman my real father? You have some deep, dark secrets that you don’t want to get out?” Silence. So I followed up, ” Seriously, you have big secrets?” And she responded with the two words no child wants to hear:
“Of course”.
So, now I’m curious. But …READ MORE

It's me- ripping off Judy Blume, charm, Chuck Norris, find the dorkiest sentence in this, guest post, i hate it when i blog about blogging, i like cupcakes more than gluten, i like scotch & table dancing, i might be addicted to tags, i pretend i know martial arts, i second that emotion, i should be a cheerleader, i think this would make her proud, i went to vegas and drank a lot, i went to vegas and saw many tigers, i went to vegas and won some MONEY! Firstly, since Miss Brandylu asked that I hijack her blog whilst she’s away in Vegas (lucky lady), and last night is when The Hills! made it’s debut back, I had to pay proper tribute and do a shoutout for that alone, first and foremost. I’m Brookem, I’m a Hills addict, I like men with a good HOH, and Brandy is one of my most favourite bloggers.
