On Taser Guns & Giveaways

December 16th, 2008 in Andrea should move back to Canada, because "guilt" is a dirty word, Doing my part to help the economy, games we play, holidays, i complain because I care, I want to make Jim Halpert a mix tape, it's a good thing, it's almost like a meme, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, just do what i say, lists, people i like, pretty hair makes me happier, sigh. i've made a tag for THE HILLS.

So, many of you know Lisa who is a) a gem b) the founder of 20SB. You know she’s a big deal because she’s first name only- Lisa. She’s the new Dooce. Trust. Anyway, Lisa let me in on this fun idea called Blog Carnival where you get a topic and write on it and then they get shared. And this months topic involved Presents! And a list! Two of my favourite things (Also? The day that there’s a topic that involves presents, lists AND Josh Lyman, I may pee my pants with excitement. Internet, you have been warned), so …READ MORE

Mixtapes For Everybody!

November 13th, 2008 in Doing my part to help the economy, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i complain because I care, i like scotch & table dancing, I want to make Jim Halpert a mix tape, I'm wearing them right now, it was a dance dance revolution, it's a good thing, music, oh dear, shoes, the title says it all

You know when you’ve gone days without sleep because you and your friend thought it would be hilarious to drink three cases of beer and go dancing instead of sleeping? And you are tired, but not in the “I’m so sleepy” way, but in the way that makes the word ‘ketchup’ suddenly the FUNNIEST thing ever?

Yeah.

That’s how I feel right now except I’ve been sleeping. And you know, not drinking liters of beer.  In fact, I’ve been sleeping well, and today even bought the greatest new shoes (these ones in black). So, I thought I should give you …READ MORE

Everytime you vote for me, a child learns to read

September 20th, 2008 in happiness, it's a good thing, pretty hair makes me happier, when i ask you to do things for me, your vote matters here

So, I’m nominated for an award! A big one. One with a prize. A $250 Visa gift card. And I thought about playing it cool, not saying anything and having conversations that went like this:

Person who notices I’m up for an award: BRANDY! You are up for a chance to win $250!

Me: Oh what? Oh yes, I noticed. It would be nice to win for sure, but I’m really trying to focus on what to do about growing tensions in the Middle East. Monetary gifts and prizes mean nothing to me. The greatest reward in life is teaching …READ MORE

The male swim team makes me feel hairy

August 15th, 2008 in confession of the day, hello universe? I love you, i know- we all LOVE him, I should be sleeping, i wish i was water, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, it makes sense to me, it's a good thing, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, people i like, sports

It’s after midnight and I’m exhausted. Watching 4 hours straight of Olympics is the most taxing thing I’ve done in recent days and I’m paying the price. I scream, I cheer, I stand on my couch. I cry, I sniffle, I count Chinese hair clips. I marvel at Phelps (did anyone else see the special they did on how his body is the perfect body for swimming? Fascinating- and I don’t mean that just in a sexual, hey, I-want-my-tongue-to-touch-your-abs way, I really mean it in the educational, I learned something way), giggle at Costas and have decided I would go …READ MORE

Seizure Worthy

April 7th, 2008 in and now you might know everything, confession of the day, happiness, hello universe? I love you, i can't believe i said that, i love fragment sentences, i wish i was water, it makes sense to me, it's a good thing, love or something like it, men, oh dear, people i like, question of the day, secrets, when i say it anyway

Brad Pitt.

Two words that send many of my generation into fits of delight so spastic I’m often convinced an epileptic seizure is taking place. Me? Not so much. Don’t get me wrong, I get the Pitt passion, but do I feel that my Earth moves when I see him in a movie? Do I day dream about him and me frolicking on sandy shores whispering fevered murmurs of passion into each others ear? Does time change when I witness his face? Not at all. I think he’s made some brilliant movies and if he stopped dressing in clothes that …READ MORE

Beautiful Confessions

April 4th, 2008 in brookem is awesome!, it happened this week, it's a good thing, lists, people i like, question of the day, the J.O.B., youth

I recently asked my class “what is beautiful?” here were some of my favourite responses:

- “trophies” – ” me when I’m being nice to new people and showing them things like where the bathroom is” – “sparkly earrings and swirly bracelets” – “the sun when it looks like a fire” – “a big bowl of popcorn that I don’t have to share” – “Luke Skywalker and how he always beats bad guys like Darth Vader because Darth Vader is bad and Luke is always gonna be good because he’s a good guy and he has the right light saber” …READ MORE

moose

March 10th, 2008 in because I can't do report cards 24/7, games we play, i like scotch & table dancing, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's a good thing, let's not talk about how long this took, martinis make the world make sense, self improvement, this tag is for you Arm!

If there has one thing I’ve learned while putting this post together it’s that I have the fine motor skills of a drunk elephant. Seriously. Those little numbers I’ve created using my mouse and Paint? Yeah, those babies took 17 minutes and a shot of rum to create.

And now that I’ve tossed out my back up career as a serial origami instructor (an origamist? *Origami Jedi?), let’s move on to MOOSE (as you seemed to want to know about)!

So in case there is any confusion, we are looking at an ice cube tray and at the far …READ MORE
