August 13th, 2011 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, i love fragment sentences, I need this on a t-shirt, i wrote this just for the picture, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., karma is going to get you, lists, picture therapy, proof i attract crazy, top 10, what i found when i went looking, when i say it anyway A few months ago, I wrote a post called “How To Not Be A Shitty Person“. People enjoyed it. In fact, I got a lot of thank you emails from people who decided to passively aggressively pass it on to the shitty people in their life. Basically, it was a situation where everyone ended up winning. Because winning feels good, I decided to do a follow up.

My friend (who lives an almost technology free existence) started asking questions. TOO MANY QUESTIONS.
Her: “Soo, explain to me how you decide what is worthy of writing about on twitter?”
Me: “Um.. if it’s a thought in my head.”
Her: ” So it’s just random thoughts?”
Me: “Well you make it sound unimportant!”
Her: “Have you ever talked about your lunch?”
Me: “Irrelevant!”
Her: “So that’s a yes.”
Me: “Twitter changes lives. It finds dogs and people. AND STARTS REVOLUTIONS. JUST LEAVE TWITTER ALONE.”
Her: “You are …READ MORE
* I’m not kidding. People have also emailed me before asking if: – Canada “celebrates Christmas” – If people really lived in igloos – How it felt to live in a country not involved in a war – Who our President is – If I get lonely (presumably because only 10 people live here. And we all wear plaid, drink beer and play hockey. Sigh, this is not true people, only in my dream world does such a country exist).
For those of you who dislike Canada (and sadly my twitter stream has had a few rather, unpleasant declarations- …READ MORE
December 2nd, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, blogs, confession of the day, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it's almost like a meme, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, lists, question of the day, right on my sleeve, self improvement, the title says it all, the world according to me, things I don't say outloud, top 10, what i found when i went looking, you're skimming this one You know, you’ve done it too. You find yourself with 10 minutes to spare, click ‘bookmarks’ and scroll down to a famous blogger you have bookmarked. I’m not talking famous in your world blogger, the kind that your particular blogger group, seems to have crowned homecoming king or queen, I’m talking about famous to the ENTIRE world blogger. The kind of blogger who has one name- and everybody knows it. You scroll down to their too hip for more than one syllable name, and click- waiting for that feeling of envy and happiness to rise up inside you, like it …READ MORE
October 21st, 2009 in and now you might know everything, i should be a P.S.A., I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it makes sense to me, it's always easier to say it than do it, life lesson, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., school, self improvement, teaching, the J.O.B., the less i worry the happier i am, the title says it all, the world according to me, this tag is for you Arm!, what i found when i went looking, when I go all Dr. Seuss on you, you're skimming this one I’m sitting here in my classroom- one that was so ugly when I first met it, I almost cried. It was a thousand shades of beige with ripped construction paper and borders that didn’t quite meet around bulletin boards. It had dirty walls, smeared windows and it smelled like my grandmother’s basement. It had torn posters haphazardly dangling from the last cold remnants of sticky tack, a small collection of tattered books housed in a dirty plastic bin and 10 lonely desks stood in the center of the room.
I look around now. I have brightly colored material stretched over …READ MORE
September 22nd, 2009 in and no you can't say world peace, hello universe? I love you, here is my heart, i love fragment sentences, i need to spend more time on spelling, i second that emotion, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it happened this week, it makes sense to me, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, life lesson, other people say it better, question of the day, school, so sappy it hurts, the J.O.B., what i found when i went looking, you're skimming this one I don’t do maxi dresses (I’m too short) and I’m not really in love with granola (blame the granola binge of ’06), but the way I talk to my class sometimes, I’m sure I’m labeled the ‘hippie teacher’. We talk about feelings and goals and quotes that inspire us. We talk about why we are learning and how we are learning it and what we can do with the knowledge we are gaining. We sometimes talk about how what we learn in school just isn’t for school, it’s for life- that every piece of information we gather is to help …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.

June 3rd, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, a possible regret, Annie Lebowitz is so jealous, earning my dork badge, find the dorkiest sentence in this, i know- we all LOVE him, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's okay- you can skim this one, wasting time, what i found when i went looking I’m one of those people who takes photos of meaningless stuff all the time. And then I go and look at my photos and wonder, “why the hell do I have 8 photos of my Captain Crunch cereal box on my camera?”. I blame it on my continuous need to take the perfect photo (and my brain assumes the perfect photo will be of a cereal box- to be fair, a large quantity of beer was inside me during that photo shoot). The downside of this ongoing quest to channel my inner Annie Lebowitz, is that I end up with …READ MORE

And when I say ‘a zillion years’ ago, I’m serious. There’s a good chance I read the meme while wearing a Mondetta sweatshirt (I had ‘Australia”), lock up jeans and a snap bracelet. Anyway, I read it- and like a good blogger I promptly copied and pasted it, thinking it was a meme I would love to do sometimes. Because I adore memes. I also adore Mandy Moore and comic sans font. And no, I’m not joking about ANY OF THAT.
