Anyone who has ever read my blog knows that I have a deep-seated, long-lived, would stab a kitten if someone told me they didn’t like the show, sort of love for a little television program called….
THE WEST WING.
Friends have even called my addiction to the show unhealthy.
Besides being the greatest show on television in terms of *casting, The West Wing has the ability to make you laugh, cry, swoon, swear and most importantly (and most cheesy)- it will make you hope.
I told you it was cheesy.
But it will make you hope. And you will …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
August 26th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, because US health care makes me sad, confession of the day, disappointment, Gore makes green sexy, here is my heart, if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it makes sense to me, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, it's the environment stupid, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, let's still be friends?, love or something like it, man I'm such a girl, men, my passive aggressiveness is devastating, no i haven't gotten laid, people i like, pretty hair makes me happier, relationships, so egan will LOVE this, something I won't forget, the one that nobody reads because of the title, things I don't say outloud, this one is about you, vague is vogue, Wednesday nights make me frisky, when i say it anyway I knew a guy once who had the annoying habit of cracking his knuckles before sleep. It drove me INSANE. Nothing is more unsettling than drifting off and being awakened by a large CRACK!, followed by nine more CRACKS! . (Well, of course there are things more unsettling than this but it really does make my top five- sandwiched in between being woken up by someone staring at you and finding out that your ex-boyfriend used to masturbate to your grade 9 graduation photo. Bullet? Dodged.).
So, I did what any girl who loves sleep more than she should- I …READ MORE

And you are both elated (hello link love, let’s just save mamma some typing!) and deflated (I was way funnier two years ago)?
And then you realize you just called yourself ‘mamma’ and you wonder what it says about you when you admit to yourself that you like it?
Me too.
Saturday is the *birthday. TWENTY EIGHT. I’m sure I’m supposed to be feeling all sorts of things …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.

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
July 24th, 2009 in hey it's Friday! let's say something nice, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it makes sense to me, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, lists, man I'm such a girl, quote of the day, the one for Renee about her big day, the title says it all, the world according to me You know, I get it. Me giving marriage advice is like, Tara Reid giving tips on sobriety. Or Kanye West give lessons on modesty. Or Jenna Jameson talking about the virtues of virginity.
I think I just compared myself to a porn star.
Let’s just move along.
As many of you know, the always lovely Renee is getting married. What you may not know is that she’s been my secret idol since she she met Chelsea Clinton and I may or may not have volunteered my life (more than once) to getting her into public office (Renee, not Chelsea). She’s …READ MORE
July 16th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, a possible regret, AHHHHHHHHHHH!, confession of the day, fingers crossed this works, here is my heart, i can't believe i said that, i may write about the west wing forever, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., Josh Lyman needs his own tag, man I'm such a girl, men, no i haven't gotten laid, so sappy it hurts, the title says it all, things I don't say outloud, vague is vogue, when i say it anyway Sometimes I wonder what the point of an ‘undo send’ option in gmail is if it only lasts like, 2.4 seconds. I mean, people don’t tend to regret emails they send that quickly. They usually wait longer- minutes go by before they realize that they sent something that although is 100% true, is also 100% cringe worthy and they would gladly gnaw off their limbs to be able to crawl through the internet and get back their email from the clutches of the receivers inbox. Not so they could never send an email- but just so they could re-word it …READ MORE
June 19th, 2009 in and now you might know everything, confession of the day, hello universe? I love you, hey it's Friday! let's say something nice, i should be a cheerleader, i wrote this just for the picture, it makes sense to me, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, no i haven't gotten laid, pretty hair makes me happier, so egan will LOVE this, so sappy it hurts, this might be why I'm single, vague is vogue, when i say it anyway, who needs a self help book?, you're skimming this one I’ve mentioned before that I swing wildly between complete happiness and utter despair in a single swoop. It’s both a blessing- sad days can often be easily thrown away when I make the choice to be happy and a curse- happy moments mean nothing once sadness invades me. (And for the record ‘sadness invading me’ can occur over something as small as watching a sad car commercial). I am an emotional roller coaster. (That last sentence? Yeeeah. That might be why I’m single. That and the fact that I refuse to date someone who doesn’t love Josh Lyman and indulge …READ MORE
April 27th, 2009 in confession of the day, disappointment, family, here is my heart, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, movies, the title says it all, things I don't say outloud, thinking, this is what happens when you listen to a sad song, vague is vogue, when i say it anyway, you're skimming this one (via)
I’m waiting for the sun to finally prove to me that Spring is here. I’m waiting for the mocking to begin when I confess I saw this movie last night. I’m waiting for my brother to tell me what he’s already told everyone else. I’m waiting for my feelings to stop hurting. I’m waiting for Victor and Tammy to win The Amazing Race. I’m waiting for someone to tell me I shouldn’t want them to win. I’m waiting for a job offer, a moment of clarity, this dress to go on sale.
I’m waiting for the Next …READ MORE

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
