– Dear Sugar #92: Your invisible inner terrible someone.
Things that made me cry this week: this Dear Sugar Column about a woman convinced she’s going to get cancer because of her family history. Oh my.

The Bachelor Canada application is ridiculous*
Some of the questions are pretty standard: name, age, occupation, gender. How would your friends describe you? What do you look for in a man?
Some are a bit off: weight, height. What is your most important possession and why? (maybe this is why the women on this show are so princessy because they’re asked about their favourite possession!)
But here is my favourite: “Give us a dating...

OK.
Twice in two days now I have told people deep dark secrets, and both times the reaction has been of the *shurgs* “Yeah, so what?” variety, and maybe my secrets aren’t so deep and dark and I should stop worrying about them so much.

one of my 2012 resolutions was to get better at...
So yesterday I talked myself out of buying these $30 pants I really liked. But then I felt like I needed a reward, so I spent $25 on wine. Huh.

Teaching Pinterest to the internet illiterate
“So how do I pin Young Jezzy photos to Pinterest?”
“Why on earth would you want to do that? That’s not what this site is for.”
“But that’s what I’m pinterested in.”

Fellow Peep Show fans!
Has anyone else noticed that Big Suze is guest starring on an episode of Two and a Half Men? It’s really exciting to me that she might get famous in north America! Not excited enough to watch that awful show, but still.

bummer Friday
I don’t how this happened but BOTH things I was going to do tonight fell through! ARGH.
Sorry to continually whine about this, but you know how whenever one area of your life starts going well, another part has to just plain SUCK? Well I’m really loving my job right now, so obviously this means that whatever tiny social life I had has totally vanished.
In a way, it’s fine,...

REASON I AM TOTALLY CERTIFIABLY INSANE OF THE...
My brain: HEY YOU HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING AFTER WORK THIS WEEK BUT EAT DINNER AND WATCH TV AND GO TO BED. YOU’RE SUCH A FRIENDLESS LOSER. YOU’RE GOING TO DIE ALONE FOR SURE.
Me: But I’ve been sick? What was I supposed to do?
My brain: JEEZ, LIKE GO OUT IN PUBLIC AND HAVE ADVENTURES. GET DRUNK. INTERACT WITH OTHER HUMANS.
Me: I have to get drunk on a weekday? I might be...

I've joined my office's soccer team?
This brings to mind two Peep Shows quotes (both from Mark! Both from the same episode!):
“I’m intrigued to see what I’m gonna do next”
and also
“Hey! Wow, I’m actually good at this. Maybe I’m a natural - yeah, I’m a jogger! Of course, there had to be a sport for me, I just never realised. Legs like two great steam locomotives, pumping away,...

here are some bullet points.
this is what I do when I can’t sleep. I write lists of things on my mind.
first thing: photos
I need to take more pictures of people that are important to me
I have approximately a billion photos of foods that I’ve eaten and like, none of my friends
the only person I ever have pictures of is my sister because I know she doesn’t care when I take photos of her, so it’s...

Super bummed that I can't afford the work ski trip...
To cope I’ve been looking at hotels and flights to New York. So. Anyone want to come to New York with me? We can stay at the W for only $204 a night and use all their lovely Bliss products!
I’m pretending my sister is coming with me and frequently informing her of my (our!) plans. “We’re going to stay in the Ace Hotel! There’s a cat themed room! It’s within...

tremendously exciting life update
still sick
yep
took a sick day today, mostly napped and also sometimes blew my nose into hankies
my sister had borrowed my laptop powercord and my battery was dead, so when I had things I wanted to write down, I wrote them into an actual notebook. It felt weird.
I don’t really like my handwriting
confession: sometimes I still dot my i’s with hearts, Stacey McGill style
I always...

slightly gross
I’ve been dosing myself with oil of oregano all night because I am TIRED of this cold making me all stuffed up and headachey and crabby. So here are some facts about oil of oregano:
Holy cats this stuff is strong! I tried just taking drops of it straight with a chaser of water but it burns my mouth, so perhaps this is a bad idea.
I kept burping these really strong oregano burps, like I was...
