I've been writing since I was in kindergarten where I Crayola-markered an epic tale of a tiger and a balloon on a stack of lined papers folded into a booklet and stapled along the edge (carefully, and by my teacher). I love DIY, sewing, folksy music, animals and getting out to look at and listen to nature.

This just in:

One of my fish who I noticed was missing all day has turned up dead. Well, half of him has, but I haven’t got much hope for the rest of him. So far, a string of a fish body has surfaced from beneath one of the plastic aquarium plants. The rest of his body and his head are yet to be found. Considering the other fish are only slightly larger than he was, and that they’re not really aggressive, and that they’ve lived with him … Continue reading

Your genitalia gets rave reviews.

I just “made up” with a girl who’s been annoying the fucking shit out of me for a month now.It was just too much to handle, being so consistently angry. So much negativity in an already stressful time. I can’t keep that kind of thing on my head, so I had to talk to her. So, I had a very mature discussion with her, albeit, on MSN, as she’s too scared of me in person. ( Last time I told her to tell me what … Continue reading

The Past, Never Was

It will be so nice. In fact, it is so nice. I have a smart boyfriend, a couple of really good friends (another of whom is moving away), a barrage of people to socialize with and never really commit to, coffee can be mixed with hot chocolate and milk, and money isn’t so tight. All I need’s a new job and to pretend the negative aspects of school (i.e., one bothersome girl) never happened. Then read a Discover magazine and possibly some fiction; maybe take … Continue reading

Over it.

So let’s face it. It’s eight months off from this nightmare life, and it starts in two weeks. Except for, you know, the retail component of it all. But even that can be remedied. Come end of exams, it’s more hard work. Moving house and then finding a full time job whether it’s a co-op or not, outside of the many-shades-of-grey retail spectrum. Here it comes! Whatever happens, all it needs to do is pay down some wasn’t-worth-it student debt. Solid. Tonight’s full of Stats! … Continue reading

Low-Key Birthday

Turns out I suck at bowling again. Still pretty good at having a sore stomach when it’s time to have fun, however. Ellie and I drink strawberry beer and talk about economics and Human Resources. We carry on intelligent conversation without simply being negative and nonsensical, as is the case with any other combination of me and my friends. Oh, Miss Ellie. We’re the real heroes. I’ve always known this education I’m receiving was a bit of a money-grab, but I didn’t feel as if … Continue reading

Tonight I premiere the one-ended MSN conversation. [All responses have been removed from the conversation, even the great ones that I felt pained to have to let go of forever. Okay, except for one.] kris says:jumanji in africakris says:u like jumanjikris says:u like joe boxer?chief runingwater?kris says:jeep grand cherokeekris says:hahakris says:u like checkerskris says:i got checkerboard 4 ukris says:okris says:u like jet li on snakes ona plane?kris says:u use crest white stripskris says:jack chan eats fruitkris says:ya he does. u like obama?kris says:or hilary stickskris … Continue reading

The Sun Will Not Hug You, in Toronto

When will you stop acting like high school? What happened? Did you get really bored of not being a catty douche? And expecting me to get up early so that you can roll your eyes at me in the comfort of your own home while you pretend you’re contributing to a project that’s been nearly finished by two other group members? That shows nerve, but not nerve enough to tell me what your problem actually is. Make like those immigrants I told off the other … Continue reading

I’d marry each and every one of you!

This past weekend, we were discussing work and school and life in general, and my dad said, “Aren’t you used to it?” I said, “I guess.” [Which is my reply to just about anything lately.] But you know, you never really get used to people shitting on you when you’ve done nothing to deserve it. And I know that’s typical; saying “I did nothing to deserve it”. But at least when I’ve done something to deserve it, I’m understanding of the reactions I get. What … Continue reading

"Maybe they see you as ‘too perfect’."

Well, everything I’ve set out to achieve has basically backfired. Apparently taking on a full course load plus a part time job plus achieving tremendous grades all while heading a student organization is a little too much for some HR people. “You did great! You did really great! And I’m sure you’ll succeed in whatever you do, somewhere else!” So, will you tell me again, what the point was, trying so hard and giving myself anxiety attacks for two years so that I’d get a … Continue reading
