Inspired by Ashley who a) re-did my blog (and never once laughed at any of my horrible passwords) b) is wonderfully talented and c) who reminded me that not knowing computer design makes sense if I’ve never been taught COMPUTER DESIGN.
1. Not blogging enough.
2. The music on your ipod.
3. The behavior of anyone but yourself.
4. Not understanding anything you haven’t been taught.
5. Buying Us Weekly.
6. Photos you publish on Instagram.
7. Explaining how you feel.
8. Buying movie tickets to Nicolas Cage movies and thus encouraging him to continue acting.
9. Forgetting.
10. Choices …READ MORE
January 29th, 2011 in and now you might know everything, because US health care makes me sad, brookem is awesome!, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, here is my heart, i may write about the west wing forever, it makes sense to me, it's a long one (twss), it's okay- you can skim this one, love harder, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., quote of the day, right on my sleeve, sad, self improvement, when i say it anyway, who needs a self help book? Obviously I’m lacking in my usual wit when that is what I can come up with for a title to this post after 34 minutes of hard, squinty-eyed staring at my computer while listening to my go to source of inspiration (*Taylor Swift on repeat).
It’s been a day. It’s been a week. Hell, it’s been a last 12 months. Yesterday started out great then turned into one of the hardest days in my entire life. It involved breaking points, furious texting and confirmation that insurance companies are douchebags. That makes me sound insensitive but I assure you- that’s not …READ MORE
June 6th, 2010 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, a possible regret, because "guilt" is a dirty word, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, I want to make Jim Halpert a mix tape, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., let's still be friends?, lists, music, right on my sleeve, soapbox, the Ex files, the one that nobody reads because of the title, when i say it anyway I know exactly when it happened.
My first year of university, I started dating this guy. A music guy. Who actually got watery eyed when he searched through my CD collection and found Now 4. And not only did he find that particular CD extremely and personally offensive, he found dozens more like it. In fact, he didn’t find a single CD to approve of in the mix of boy bands and mainstream pop.
Instead of defending my choices, I meekly listened as he raved about all the new, hip and obscure bands I had never heard of- that were …READ MORE
I previously did a post where I discussed six songs that dragged me down memory lane. I will use any excuse to listen to the tragic songs on my itunes, so I decided to spend the day listening to my entire collection (again, not just the six songs I play on repeat), while wrapping Christmas gifts (yes, I’m that annoying person this year- before you hate me consider the fact maybe I’m wrapping a gift for you?) and recall a few more stand out tracks.
Last time I did this, I had others join along and post their own memorable …READ MORE
October 22nd, 2009 in advice, because I can't do report cards 24/7, blogs, brookem is awesome!, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, earning my dork badge, i know- we all LOVE him, i love fragment sentences, i may write about the west wing forever, i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, i wrote this just for the picture, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it makes sense to me, people i like, the last line is my favourite, the title says it all, the world according to me, top 10, you're skimming this one I was feeling listy. It was either this or “Ten Swear Words I Said Today Before 9 am“- I really was going to go with that one but three of them made me blush, that’s why I’m going with this. And before anyone complains, yes- I feel that blogging for almost three years (*holey cheese!) makes me a certified expert on blogging even if I a) don’t own my own domain b) have yet to make single dollar off my blog (but I have got a lot of free stuff?) c) have a nervous breakdown every time I try and …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
September 8th, 2009 in About the last line? I'm kidding. I promise, and now you might know everything, because I can't do report cards 24/7, charm, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, hello universe? I love you, here is my heart, i should be a P.S.A., i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, let's still be friends?, love or something like it, man I'm such a girl, men, no i haven't gotten laid, secrets, so sappy it hurts, something I won't forget, the less i worry the happier i am, the title says it all, vague is vogue, when i say it anyway I know.
Nelly lyrics for my title? Either I’m forging new ground or else I’m regressing to 2002 and someone should take me out back with a shovel and put me out of my misery.
Either way, this lyric is one that has been popping into my head lately. I have no idea totally know why. I think because (start looking for your shovel), this particular song makes me ridiculously happy. And right now? I am ridiculously happy.
Like the kind of happy makes normal people want to shout from rooftops and makes us technology whores write blog posts …READ MORE
August 17th, 2009 in Andrea should move back to Canada, Annie Lebowitz is so jealous, blame country music, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, friends, hello universe? I love you, here is my heart, i may write about the west wing forever, i should be a cheerleader, i wrote this just for the picture, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, it makes sense to me, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, MY BIRTHDAY, no i haven't gotten laid, other people say it better, people i like, pretty hair makes me happier, so sappy it hurts, the J.O.B., the title says it all, vague is vogue (picture taken by me of this awesome calendar)
Yeah. I TOTALLY know what you are thinking. Ohhhh, now that she’s got a new job and NOW she believes in miracles, what a whore.
Okay, maybe not the ‘whore’ bit.
I’ve been thinking lately about how I need to work on recognizing happiness. I’m always good at knowing when I WAS happy, but I often forget to appreciate the moment I AM happy. It’s one of those things- you don’t realize how good it is until it’s over (there’s a country song in there somewhere). I tend to be …READ MORE
One of my favourite ladies wrote about what she never regrets doing. Given the last few days and the fact that my ‘regret’ pile has become exceedingly high, I thought this would be a great idea for me to do.
Having a nap Buying the insurance Asking for help Wearing the big earrings Saying “I’m sorry” Booking the trip Stating my political views Not waiting for the kiss Adding more blueberries to the pancake mix Bringing my camera Listening to “Faded” by Soul Decision Ordering water at 2 am Packing extra socks
What do you NEVER regret?

July 6th, 2009 in anger and I have sat down for tea, blame country music, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, earning my dork badge, famous people make for good gossip, find the dorkiest sentence in this, games we play, let's still be friends?, lists, music, oh look! i have opinions., the one that nobody reads because of the title, wasting time, when i say it anyway, youtubing it in Fact: I will be unable to tell people I’m going to a Taylor Swift concert this week without squealing like I’m a 14 year old girl. Which is perfect really, because that would make me fit into her actual demographic. (Related fact: This might be the cutest video ever. I’m only glad that I’m watching it at 28 years old instead of 14 years old because it would have just set unrealistic standards of what high school love is like. Not like now… now I watch The Notebook weekly to make sure my expectations are unreasonable.)
Fact: I should be …READ MORE
