February 5th, 2013 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, 30something, 98% of me thinks this is funny, adventure, and then i cried, and then i laughed out loud, i should be a P.S.A., introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it's a long one (twss), it's not you it's me, men, no i haven't gotten laid, single girl stories, something I won't forget, these are the things that happen to me, this one might be my favourite, what the hell I went through a phase in my early teens when I was obsessed with jury selection (I mean, who DIDN’T have that phase?) and read every book possible on the topic. This was after the OJ Simpson case and I was convinced that the right jury would have REALIZED WHAT EVERYONE ELSE ALREADY KNEW. I became an expert on how to spot liars, identify psychopaths and establish who wants to wants to chop off your head and use it as a soup bowl so I was convinced I would be up for online dating.
I mean, isn’t that what it …READ MORE
January 30th, 2013 in 30something, advice, because "guilt" is a dirty word, confession of the day, hello universe? I love you, here is my heart, i should be a P.S.A., I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, life lesson, lists, love or something like it, mindful happiness, no i haven't gotten laid, p.s. i love me, Slyvia Path has nothing on me, something I won't forget, sometimes you just have to leap, the last line is my favourite, the title says it all, this one might be my favourite, when i say it anyway If you don’t know me or haven’t followed my blog, you may not know this about me:
I was once very angry. Not outwardly angry- not slash your tires angry or kick the wall with your boots on angry. I wasn’t even punch a pillow angry. I was anger turned inward- a soul crushing sort of inner angry that manifested itself through debilitating depression that left me unable to get out of bed and at times, suicidal.
Well that was one hell of an opener. (I promise, it gets more light hearted…).
The hows and whys of how one gets …READ MORE

I love you, i should be a cheerleader, i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, it makes sense to me, men, no i haven't gotten laid, something I won't forget, sometimes you just have to leap, the one that nobody reads because of the title, when i ask you to do things for me You know, for all my waxing about love and like and movies starring both Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks- I’m not easily wooed. I tend to be the girl who is not impressed when a dude comes over to talk because he’s usually cutting in to the great time I’m already having with my friends. (Real life friends who read the blog? Feel free to chime in and confirm this bitchy behavior I exhibit).
And when a guy manages to get into a conversation? I’m easy to cut him loose if I feel like he’s not quality. (For the record, …READ MORE

I love you, i should be a cheerleader, i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, it's a good thing, love or something like it, man I'm such a girl, men, no i haven't gotten laid, other people say it better, right on my sleeve, the one that nobody reads because of the title, the title says it all, things I don't say outloud, vague is vogue, what the hell, when i say it anyway It surprises me when I discover I am loved.
That sounds silly doesn’t? As though one should take for granted being loved as easy as one takes for granted air or space or the continued beat of their own heart despite a deep rooted love for corn dogs.
But it surprises me to discover I am loved.
When the words leave someone else and are shot straight to me- like a rubber band filled with nervous excitement, ” I love you“, three words that light up even the darkest night, I find that I have no room to be delighted- …READ MORE

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 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

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
August 13th, 2009 in advice, Annie Lebowitz is so jealous, Dairy products make the world a better place, hello universe?

1. Flowers will never fix everything, but they sure as hell can’t hurt. (Unless they are my favourite flower- peonies and then let’s face it, they can fix everything).
2. When you are wrong, admit it. When you are sorry, say it. When you are in love, declare it.
3. Sometimes it just won’t go your way. And in those moments, it’s perfectly acceptable to stay in your pajamas, eat a lot of string cheese and watch Regis and Kelly (and secretly hate Kelly for being utterly perfect so early in the morning. Her arms! …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
