Freak Out
I’ve been getting panic attacks. I hate panic attacks. This is how it goes: fine, fine, good, fine, fine, panic. And then, after either tears or conversation getting me through, more of the fine/good path. I do try to justify it to myself, saying that my life is suddenly very different, and blah blah […]

The Book Binding that Wasn’t
There are very few things that will get me out of bed on a Sunday morning before noon. A few of these things are: food (to the tune of bacon and eggs, toast, pancakes, something like that). Yep, that’s pretty much about it. So, when I signed up for Book Binding I, a six […]

On Being Single
Going out for pub night, nay, scratch that, drinking insane amounts of beer (oh, and thank you Steve for mentionning my skill with the chugging!) on a Thursday night was a bad idea. Well, it became a bad idea on Friday morning. When I had to wake up to work. Sometimes I wonder why […]

Down
I’ve been having a hard time posting lately. Usually, I try to write posts that are fairly light and airy and impersonal, but lately, my life hasn’t been light and airy and impersonal. Its actually been pretty emotional. Now, most of you who read this know me, and the news that my boyfriend and […]

How I feel about
I feel compelled to post about Facebook. Facebook is a phenomenon that is slowly taking over my life. What, my aunties and uncles might not know what Facebook is? Its a soul sucking online “community.” Kinda like myspace. But better. You have friends, usually people you know in real life, and you create a […]

pinball wizard
Our family dog isn’t doing so well. Actually, she’s not really our family dog, she’s my mom’s dog. Daisy has always, always, liked Mom best. This is probably because Mom is actually nice to her. Whereas Jeff and I mostly just tried to provoke and teach her ridiculous tricks to earn treats. At one […]

this is starting to feel a lot like school
Remember how I wrote that I loved Christmas Break? I really remember loving Christmas Break.
This was my day. Class, nine till noon. Work, one till three thirty. Class, six thirty till nine thirty.
This is what I felt like, minus a few hours during the afternoon, all day:
*
I don’t have any particular reason to be […]

Things that are unfair
I got an A on my advocacy paper. This really pisses me off. Because:
I wrote this paper while very sick and while two friends were visiting from out of town.
I wrote it for a class that I did not particularly enjoy.
I was also already getting a poor grade for FIS (a B…maybe a B+).
So […]

The Roller Coaster
I was fortunate enough to have completed my undergrad in Ottawa. It is a city that will forever be close to my heart. It was the first city that I lived alone in, away from my family, it was the city I met my first serious boyfriend, it was the city that I left […]

Is this guy serious?
I started my love/hate relationship with the gym about seven years (oh my god? seven years?) ago. I was in my last year of highschool, heading to university, and you know, I wanted to look good. I worked my butt (almost literally) off. Since then, I’ve been a member of, oh, three or four […]
