Weekend in review, last first kisses and why I hate red roses.

February 15, 2010

At 1:30 on Sunday morning, Rob and I headed out for the night. Yes, you read that correctly – 1:30am.
My friend has a new beau and he’s in town for the week from London/Nigeria – he’s a world traveler, expat and possibly super hero and divides his time between the UK and Africa.
I had a [...]

Just bring a pencil.

So, I’m starting something new tomorrow night. And it doesn’t involve my laptop; although it does include writing (by the way, don’t you hate it when people start sentences with and? Shit, I do).
I’ve signed up for a course through the University of Toronto called, “Generating Stories” – sort of an ode to brainstorming, I [...]

Simply, #20 on the List… and a love note.

February 7, 2010

Dear Body,
I love you, but that doesn’t mean I want to get attached. This is a temporary thing between you and me, after all.
I thought I should “cc” you on the following philosophies that will impact our relationship this year. And before you get all sentimental on me, Body, I should tell you that, although [...]

A date, no Rob & another one crossed off the List! (but I cheated… sort of).

February 5, 2010

I did something tonight that’s been on my mind for some time – years, I think.
I always thought that if the opportunity would arise, I’d take it, but likely not seek it out myself.
It’s not something that a lot of people in my circle of friends have done, or do, although I know they’ve thought [...]

I feel as though I’ve been in labor for months!

January 31, 2010

The last little while, I’ve been having some good ideas. What’s makes them good? They get me motivated to make some important changes and I’m able to fill pages and pages in my notebook with more ideas that build around that one central idea. I get that feeling, deep down, that if I don’t write [...]

How I have been spending my weekends… for months now.

January 30, 2010

I love knowing behind-the-scenes bits about any movie, even an amateur one, like this is. So here are some bits for you:
-I made this video about two months ago… there’s swearing in it, and it’s unedited because I have no idea how to do that (yet), so I’ve been shy to post it.
-You’ll notice (vaguely) [...]

Guest post by Not That Kind of Girl! Quite possibly the BEST stuff I’ll have on my blog all week. Seriously. My shit’s been lacking lately, I get it. Now stop judging me and just read this stupendous post already.

January 25, 2010

I am utterly in a tizzy to have this bloggess extraordinaire all the way here from Not That Kind of Girl today!

I don’t have many morning rituals, except for making Lists, drinking copious amounts of coffee and reading blogs, all within the first 10 minutes of arriving at work. That said…
My mornings are as follows:
1. [...]

Not sure what to make of this…

January 20, 2010

Today I was told, “You look young… for your age. I mean, you don’t look like you’re turning 30…”
Compliment?
What does 30 look like exactly?
I’m going to go on record saying this: Turning 30 is a big deal. How big a deal varies from one person to the next, sure, but whether you celebrate the hell [...]

I wish: Rob did this everyday.

January 17, 2010

Rob is my favorite song writer. Cliche or trite as that might sound, it’s true. I have never lived with another musician, so I’m sure a little bias lurks somewhere in my statement, but I know passion when I see it, and passion is what I see- and often feel- when he sits down to [...]

How do you describe a man of mystery?

January 14, 2010

How does one introduce a man like mysterg?

Do you talk about his candor? The way it seeps and slips into his posts, slowly revealing the writer behind the mystery, although we may never, in fact, learn his real name.
Do you introduce him as a new(ish) blogger? Opening him up to wonderful and fresh readers, although [...]

You don’t know unless you ask.

January 13, 2010

[UPDATE, UPDATE!] Well, I think this categorically makes me somewhat of a douchebag, because the nominations for the 2010 Weblog Awards (aka: “Bloggies”) closed last night at 11PM EST; approximately one hour before I put out my little S.O.S. to all you wonderful people. My bad, to say the least.
However, no regrets here at all- [...]

Space for rant.

January 11, 2010

From ages 20-24, I was living in a basement apartment in Toronto. After my parents divorced and we sold our family home, it just felt like it was time to leave and start over on my own. I lived with my mom and sister for a few months after the house sold, in a two [...]

When other people say it best: second installment

January 9, 2010

Today I had the opportunity to revisit an opportunity that I missed a while back.  It was a bit of a big deal. Unfortunately, you and I aren’t the only two people on the Internet, apparently, so I have to keep the details of that opportunity hushed, for now.
While at work today, I came across [...]

I’m taking a Starbucks break.

January 7, 2010

So apparently I have good ideas. Sometimes.
The other day I wrote a post about how other bloggers have started to BELIEVE ME when I say that creating a “Before I Turn… List” actually works. Kind of like the way when you write a grocery list and the food you need/want sort of ends up in [...]
