October 5th, 2011 in a possible regret, and now you might know everything, confession of the day, family, find the dorkiest sentence in this, here is my heart, i can't believe i said that, i should be a P.S.A., I sound drunk but I assure you I am not, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it happened this week, it's a long one (twss), it's always easier to say it than do it, lists, sometimes you just have to leap, thank you Eleni, this is what happens when you listen to a sad song, when strangers see you NAKED (inspired by one of my *favourites)
I’m thinking of blaming Nike (because after my last globalization class, I like to blame them for everything that’s wrong with the world) or all the pastel colored chick lit books that line my shelves. Or maybe I should just blame Sarah Palin because really, I enjoy blaming her for everything.
More seriously (because really, anything is more serious than Sarah Palin), I think it might be a generational thing. The idea that being afraid of anything, admitting regrets or fears is a weakness. We worked so hard to become leaders and college grads …READ MORE
June 28th, 2009 in and now you might know everything, here is my heart, i should be a P.S.A., I'm yoda.

Maybe you meet in a crowded pub when his beer splashes your arm and as you wipe it dry you rack your brain thinking of all the clever things you always wanted to say if you were ever to meet a boy like this. Or maybe you meet through friends or online or maybe you meet at work- and through a handful of casual conversations discussing weekend plans and the weather you decide you like this boy.
However it happens, you …READ MORE

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

I know this.
I may complain about the cold, but I’ve never been homeless. I may complain about being hungry, but I’ve never starved. I may complain about Paris Hilton but no one has forced me to sit through her sex tape. More than once.
I have a good life.
Last week, I stumbled across this line:
Few people attain great lives, large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life. – Good to Great
And it’s haunted me.
Do you ever …READ MORE

Ever. They didn’t raise their voices, they didn’t gesture wildly, no one ever lost their temper. Not once did someone throw a dish or drop the f-bomb. Now, I didn’t grow up in the middle of a war zone but I had grown up with parents who argued occasionally- I thought everybody had. So naturally, I thought her ‘no fighting’ declaration was a lie. And the next time I was over, I asked her mom to tell me the truth.
Because the term ‘mind your …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
June 9th, 2008 in adventure, charm, disappointment, i love fragment sentences, i want this, jumping off bridges, love or something like it, men, relationships, so sappy it hurts, this is what happens when you listen to a sad song Sometimes I really do think I was born in the wrong era. I yearn to be a heroine in a Jane Austen novel. Fastened into a corset, wrapped up in yards of silk and a bonnet- clutching a finely written love letter from a lover on an adventure, but aching to return to me.
But I was born in the 80′s. Meaning, that the majority of my adult ‘love letters’ have come in the form of emails. I know this is partly my fault (I tend to email people before calling, or actually- gasp!- seeing them), but today while I …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
April 24th, 2008 in because "guilt" is a dirty word, brookem is awesome!, famous people make for good gossip, hello universe?

I will never be that super cool girl who hears good news regarding an ex-boyfriend and responds by saying things like ‘Awesome!’ or “Good for him!”. I will be that bitter, hostile woman who thinks “him? why him? why doesn’t he just go fall in a manhole and save the world from himself?”. And then I will drink heavily. Or, if it’s a school night, I will wrestle my blankets and mentally re-organize my closet.
2. “Parent Trap” was Lindsay Lohan’s best movie performance. And anyone who disagrees should be prepared to duel. To the death.
3. Sometimes I …READ MORE
February 26th, 2008 in a possible regret, and now you might know everything, can you tell I've been reading NO FEAR t-shirts?, confession of the day, happiness, I definitely didn't answer your question., i love fragment sentences, i should be a P.S.A., i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, it makes sense to me, it's always easier to say it than do it, life lesson, Q & A, self improvement, seriously, so sappy it hurts, thinking, this is what happens when you listen to a sad song, vague is vogue, what i found when i went looking, when i say it anyway Remember when I asked for questions to answer? I’m answering. Slowly. Because I’m lazy I don’t want to cause the internet to explode my answering them all at once. I get great joy of going through and reading them (finding out later that they’ve entered my subconscious and have given me ideas of posts that I thought were originally my own- Maggie, I’m thinking of you and your question about what I would like to ‘unknow‘, which I thought was my own brilliant idea. How wrong I was.).
Today’s question is from AP. I really enjoyed this question because it’s …READ MORE
