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
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
May 18th, 2009 in and now you might know everything, because "guilt" is a dirty word, confession of the day, famous people make for good gossip, find the dorkiest sentence in this, i like scotch & table dancing, i should be a P.S.A., i wrote this just for the picture, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's ironic because I'm Canadian, let's still be friends?, lists, music, my passive aggressiveness is devastating, secrets, the secret project, this might be why I'm single (via)
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
January 18th, 2009 in a possible regret, brookem is awesome!, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i like scotch & table dancing, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., lists, martinis make the world make sense, music, other people say it better, pretty hair makes me happier I thought this was an appropriate grouping of best/worst ’08 topics to share considering I spent a lot of my Saturday night drinking martinis and then later refused to get out of a car until I had sung this entire song for my friend. I sang with my eyes closed, with my head bopping and with elaborate hand gestures, all while still wearing my seat belt. My liver and I are back on speaking terms, but I’m fairly certain my friend is scarred for life.

1. Quality family time. Even though we play the most competitive board games ever (Risk anyone?) and I got completely schooled, it was still fun. You know, once I was back on speaking terms with my mom. Sure, she may have brought me into the world, but was it completely necessary to dismantle my entire strategy to take over North America in ONE TURN? NO. The answer is NO IT WAS NOT.
2. Time with friends. The friends who are still friends with you despite *2003. The friends who know what …READ MORE
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
November 12th, 2008 in and now you might know everything, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i like scotch & table dancing, it makes sense to me, it's almost like a meme, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, music, so egan will LOVE this, the one that nobody reads because of the title, wasting time, you're skimming this one I lose my phone all the time. I don’t think I’ve gone a full month without misplacing it. On the other hand, I still have a note given to me from a boy when we were in the sixth grade.
I can sleep anywhere but am nervous to sneeze in front of strangers. I can pretend that Santa Claus is real, that the Tooth Fairy really does leave money, that leprechauns do exist but I can’t fake liking people I don’t.
In the past, I’ve been weirded out by people who’ve had rooms dedicated to their favorite tv show yet …READ MORE
November 11th, 2008 in About the last line? I'm kidding. I promise, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, it's almost like a meme, love or something like it, men, music, single girl stories, tequila consequences, the Ex files, the last line is my favourite, this is what happens when you listen to a sad song, this might be why I'm single, travel, what i found when i went looking I decided today that I should start listening to my ENTIRE itunes library. Not just, the six songs that I listen to on repeat. As I started listening, I realized two things 1) a song can really take you back to a memory you had forgotten and 2) I have too much Will Smith in my music collection. Really, it’s embarrassing. (Almost as embarrassing as the album name “Big Willie Style”. Seriously. Who thought that was a good idea?) Anyway, as I puttered throughout the day, songs came on that took me back to a memory relating to those who …READ MORE

The movie you must see, the song you must hear, the book you must read, the city you must visit. When I talk about my ‘musts’ I’m almost fanatical, my feelings are so strong on each of them. My list of ‘musts’ don’t necessarily mean they are my favorite. They are just what has stood out, became memorable and left me with something that I think others might find valuable. So, I give you a few of my ‘musts’, and hope that you will tell me a few of yours
