I am very proud of being Canadian, and usually proud of all that implies-- even down to the over-usage of "eh". Our country used to be associated with the more developed and stable countries of Europe-- it seems that in the last decade, our reputation has slipped and we've begun to be compared to our neighbours south of the border. Americans are ( Read more... )

I know I said this was old and dull, but frankly, "old and dull" is what I want to hold on to these days. This diary is the Carrie Bradshaw of my online blogs. I feel like I can say whatever the hell I want to say in this space--I can truly outline/gush/complain about my life. Truly ( Read more... )

Do you know who I love? Michael Buble. In a recent interview he said he would trade 80 grammies for one Juno. He said "I'm Canadian. I'm from Vancouver and I'll never leave." Fucking right. I love him. Now if only he knew I existed ( Read more... )

You know, when I came back yesterday, I could sense that Windsor had somehow become a better place.. like, something horrible about it had left on a train or something.. it was refreshing.

Actually, in all honesty, I am once again home in Canceria. And so are my glorious mates. I think I can honestly say, without a doubt, that this was the best trip ever! I mean, come on, 2 days in Toronto with 2 of the bestest friends known to man (and woman)? It was beautiful ( Read more... )

So... my rabbit died last week.. I forget if I mentioned that. My dad was really upset about it.. Kickster (the rabbit) spent his time wandering my dad's classroom and the entire second floor of Immaculate Conception School. Anyway, in tribute, one of the classes wrote notes to my dad about how much they loved Kickster. One particularly cute ( Read more... )

I'm a happy girl!! The four-some is reunited once again! ..well, reunited since the last 3-way call:) In the FLESH is so much better though! Oh, and if anyone would like to see more episodes of That 70's Show, we can shoot them in Anna's new basement ( Read more... )

Going out to dinner with the grandparentals is good for something at least.. It's good for a story to share with all y'all! I think in the first 5 minutes, they called my parents wellies, which we most certainly are not. This stemmed from a comparison of the class of my parents to the class of other people at a private inn they just went to ( Read more... )

I have never been so sure of something in my entire life! I'm going to Barrie and I love it! I think I've called them like 10 times about odd things that I can't figure out on my own:), and each time I've gotten just about the most PERKY, UPBEAT and FRIENDLY person I've ever heard on the other end of the telephone!!! And yes, that's reason ( Read more... )

I thought I had learned last summer.. I thought I had learned my goddamn lesson! Apparently not. It usually does take me a while to really learn something well.. and then, one day, it just clicks and I'll never forget it again. My obsession with shoes better not inhibit this lesson..I love to jack myself up on 3 inch heels, but my feet tend to ( Read more... )
