NAME: Jaclyn
AGE: 24!
LOCATION: A 1-bedroom apartment in Victora, BC.
OCCUPATION: Part-time ARNW(awake residential nightworker).
PARTNER(s): M. We're staring 9 months in the face.
KIDS: 4 of 'em at work. Two 10 yr-olds, a 12 yr-old and a 9 yr-old.
BROTHERS/SISTERS: 2 sisters, one in grad school in Boston, the other attending Brown for her undergrad in Rhode Island(she hasn't met Emma Watson yet).
PARENTS: Mum and Dad both in Bedford, UK. Dad works for Yoshiba, mom teaches English to French home-stay students.
PETS: Assorted plants, one betta fish named Shahryar.
LIST THE 3-5 BIGGEST THINGS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE: (In no particular order)
Work, especially right now. It's a busy time as people start vacationing. Learning more childcare techniques, wrestling techniques(some of you saw the bruises at HSF), learning more about working with FASD, ODD, RAD and CCPTSD as well as the weirdness of young boys approaching puberty. Also learning lots of new acronyms!
Volunteering. The big news I've kept off of here is that the government has cut off our funding, as of April 1st, 2010, the crisis line that I know and love will cease to exist. There's a chance we may win the contract for the next incarnation, but even if we do things will be very different. :/ Hope that retractable stadium roof is worth it, Campbell. Processing a lot of anger and sadness right now.
Housing. The Yellow House Coop ended Oct 1 with all of us being evicted for being evil, money-grubbing bourgeoisie who don't deserve low-income housing.:/ A lot of anger and sadness there as well. Now M and I live together in a nice little apartment, and it's going really well.
Art. Doing a lot more in the realm of painting, sculpture and music. I'm going to join one of the community choirs and I'm hoping to get back into dance or drumming next year.
Travel: M and I are spending 10 days in England after Christmas. My dad's really excited to have a boy to take around. I'm excited to see parents and sibs and the dog and cats and trashy British tv. :)
