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

I got a few emails today asking where The Secret Project was. The truth is, submissions have slowed so I’m going to post once a month. I have to say, The Secret Project is such a treat for me to share. There were some secrets that made me cry, ones that made me laugh out loud, ones that broke my heart into eleventy thousand pieces- and there was one secret someone shared that was one that I kept too. And checking my inbox and finding that someone else had gone through something I had? Well, it was …READ MORE

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

Submissions have slowed a bit so I may start posting monthly instead of weekly.
1.I got an abortion last week. The guy hurt me badly, so I texted him to tell him I was pregnant and getting an abortion because I was more concerned about my own feelings than his, and he responded by saying, “Well it’s done now, cheers.” The …READ MORE
March 16th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, and now you might know everything, Annie Lebowitz is so jealous, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., let's not talk about how long this took, man I'm such a girl, overwhelmed doesn't even begin... I’ve decided that today I want to be that person who posts pictures of her closet on the internet. Tomorrow I might go into detail about my daily eating habits. Keep your fingers crossed.
Okay, all joking aside (because yes, I was joking- no one really cares that I would taser my grandmother for a daily bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch), my closet is a continuing issue for me. Mostly because there are things I like to do (own pretty clothes) and that comes into direct conflict with things I DO NOT like to do (throw out any clothes because …READ MORE
February 18th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, advice, books, Dairy products make the world a better place, holidays, i might be addicted to tags, i should be a P.S.A., i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, lists, midgets and/or peacock feathers dipped in gold, so egan will LOVE this, soapbox Last year, I eased my own your fears and listed off a few things I think I everyone should just feel okay about. I titled the post “I promise” but said the alternate title could be “Things I do, so they should just be generally accepted as good ideas” and/or “This idea was stolen from Glamour magazine, one of the only beauty/fashion magazines I can tolerate because it doesn’t feature $9,000 dog carriers and there are no sex tips that involve donuts/midgets/ peacock feathers dipped in magical gold dust”. Naturally, I made a tag titled “midgets and/or peacock feathers dipped …READ MORE
January 19th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, AHHHHHHHHHHH!, Andrea should move back to Canada, Bill Schneider wears a lot of funny hats, blogs, cnn makes my heart beat fast, earning my dork badge, friends, here is my heart, i know- we all LOVE him, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, is it weird this makes me cry?, it happened this week, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., politics, something I won't forget, your vote matters here There are moments when I know what I want to say but really struggle for the right words. You would laugh if you saw me- mumbling to myself as I drive to work, as I fold laundry, as I lay in bed. I envision it would be easier to rip out my heart and put it on my screen, but besides the fact that it would be insanely messy- I don’t think it would be enough. And so, in these moments I turn to the one device a blogger can use when she feels like she has a lot to …READ MORE
September 17th, 2008 in Annie Lebowitz is so jealous, confession of the day, family, happiness, hello universe? I love you, i complain because I care, i laugh when i say "balls", i may write about the west wing forever, I should be sleeping, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, it makes sense to me, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, when i say it anyway, work I could write about how I’m not looking forward to Friday. If I was feeling very brave, I could confess how I almost canceled the job because I’m worried the whole thing will depress the funk into me. I could write about how my fall clothes are feeling a little too tight, my finances are a little shaky or about how I haven’t had a good hair day in weeks. I could rant about how everything on my sidebar keeps disappearing and I don’t know where it goes. I could write about how it still bothers me that my dad …READ MORE
June 23rd, 2008 in anger and I have sat down for tea, because I can't do report cards 24/7, blogs, disappointment, find the dorkiest sentence in this, friends, i may write about the west wing forever, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, it happened this week, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, oh look! i have opinions., sometimes i get violent, teaching, the J.O.B., today i am not funny, what the hell, who needs a self help book? I suppose tomorrow would be a better day to write this. Or the day after that. But my tomorrows are always busy with the things I’m meant to do, so if I intend to do this, to say this- I need to say it today.
I don’t deal well with judgment. Not even the thoughtfully worded sort, often laced together with constructive criticism and punctuated with sweet smiles. I don’t deal well with people telling me “you should” or “you could“, or “why don’t you just…“.
I’ve long ago accepted that my inability to accept the opinions of others with …READ MORE

I, (being adept at stealing excellent ideas) quickly decided to follow her lead and used the month to reflect on those ladies who changed me, in good and bad. It was an interesting experiment- one that I still think of now. As I wrote of each woman or girl, I found myself digging deeper- learning more about myself than expected. Truly a great experience coming from someone who often writes about new flip flops and favourite lip glosses.
I …READ MORE
