I would like to apologize in advance for using...
My my, this has been a blah week compared to last week. Last week I hung out with either my lady friends or my boyfriend every single night, and this week I uh, went to the dentist and cleaned the burners on my stove. Today is my last day of work before the weekend, so I’m going to party so hard. By which I mean, fall asleep at about 8 pm in front of the TV.
Upside: today I got free...

“Which reminds me of a book by Alistair MacLeod that I was reading. I had enjoyed...”
– my dad’s post about his occasional moments of stupidity is pretty darn funny. And for the record, he’s actually a very smart guy!

something that crushed my heart a tiny bit today
That dress I bought for the wedding? Someone who works in my office is wearing it today. Herein lies concrete proof of my frumpiness. For me, that dress is very Special Occasion and will probably only be worn a few times. For her, it’s an everyday dress, the sort of thing you wear on an idle Wednesday. For comparison’s sake, today I am wearing a mixture of Smart Set, Joe Fresh and...

Sad news everyone: I can't make duck face anymore!
I had a dentist appointment earlier and the dentist really went overboard with the freezing considering it was just one cavity. As I was walking home, I felt like my smile was totally lopsided, which is an odd sensation. And it’s been three hours and I still can’t properly move my lips to drink water without drooling on myself.
My sister offered the extremely helpful advice,...

speaking of people policing what I eat
On Friday I was sitting on the patio at work, eating a veggie burger. This woman that I sort of know kept looking over at me from where she was smoking. Eventually she came over and was like, “I’m not going to judge you because I just ate a slice of banana bread.” She said this like she was doing me some kind of grand favour.
1. Banana bread ≠ burger
2. Why would she judge me...

3 things that have disturbed me in the past 24...
pretty much everything that happened in the season finale of Girls. But especially everything involving Adam! Ahhhhh.
a teenage couple aggressively making out in Victoria Secret (gross on so many levels)
learning that Rory Gilmore and Pete Campbell are like, actually dating

an actual confession
[[MORE]]A couple months ago, I went to the doctor for a routine “I’m tired all the time” appointment. And she was pretty dismissive and said it was probably just how stressful life is, etc etc, but she ordered blood tests for me regardless. She said they’d get back to me the next week, but I didn’t hear from them so I assumed I was fine. And then two weeks later I got...

Luckily I am merely fascinated by terrible...
I was eating a delicious Krispy Kreme donut that someone brought into the office and this dude walked by and was like, “I don’t think you need those 700 calories”. It baffles me that someone could have reached the age of 40-something without ever learning that you don’t say things like that to women. Scratch that: you don’t say things like that to people.

my tumblr is so borrrrring lately
I blame the heat. It’s melting my brain. I know people think SAD is caused by lack of light and etc. I suspect it’s because thinking is far too easy in cold weather, and thinking leads to over-thinking which leads to depression. I cannot handle thinking right now. I can’t even handle conversations deeper than like, “Who is your favourite Kardashian sister?” (Khloe, obvs) or...

“It’s funny, people are so critical of Twitter and blogs and how the internet...”

A letter to my 15-year-old self
(technically I am probably 16 in this picture, but I genuinely couldn’t find a picture of me at 15!)
[[MORE]]Hi there,
I really wish you wouldn’t worry so much. I mean, I know you will, because it’s your nature to worry, but all these things you worry about at this age are really not that bad. You worry that you will fail at school, that you don’t know what you want to...

perception
I ate lunch by myself on the patio outside my office today. It was gorgeous and I was eating fries and thinking about things I liked: the weather, that Tragically Hip song Wheat Kings, the music in Katamari, how the whole weekend stretched out in front of me with nothing I really needed to do. Some coworkers walked past, said hi to me and found seats on the other side of the patio and I felt an...

something good
Finally having time to properly dry my hair in the morning (first time this week!).
An empty subway even though I was running later than usual.
Samples at St Lawrence Market at lunch.
A sweet haircut that took way less time than usual (plus a scalp massage, purrrr).
Making plans for the weekend (oil change! strawberry picking?).
Getting home and eating strawberries as a(n almost) midnight...

twenty nine years ago today!
A few months ago, I was having a bit of panic about being in a relationship. It’s not that I didn’t want to be with my boyfriend, I just felt this overwhelming bitterness. All I could think about was how I was investing all this time and emotion with a person. I was explaining this to my girl friends, and I ended with, “I’m not sure it’s worth it, dating someone when...

“This dinner looks really pretty, you should take a picture!”

You can't make me not love you, Toronto
Even when Union station floods and subway service is shut down for most of the downtown area and I have to take a shuttle bus that moves at a snail’s pace and it takes me an hour and a half to get home when it usually takes 30 minutes max.
Even then.
(mainly because I was pretending to be in a disaster movie the whole time. Crowds! Chaos! Drama! Fights at Bloor station!)
