So, last August I was beginning to ramp up my excitement for my impending trip to New Orleans. The thrill of it all! The history, the food, the music- the stranger culture that permeated the thick NOLA heat. Not to mention, we were going to be travelling down during Southern Decadence- so what was an … Continue reading »
Sometimes we write.
Obnoxious. The word he wanted to so desperately answer, when her placid mouth fished for compliments- he wanted to answer: Obnoxious. Everything about her was over saturated. She was like a cup of tea steeped too long. Her make-up was exorbitant, her laugh was ridiculous and the perfume that she routinely bathed in was enough … Continue reading »
It’s official. I got old.
I swear it happened overnight. One day I was all- let’s travel the world, and family isn’t a defined thing and settling down is actually just settling. Then I woke up, and something in my stomach changed. Something felt- sure? Suddenly- I have more in common with my group leaders than I do my youth- … Continue reading »
Accepting fear; or why not throwing up in a 18 seat aircraft is a good idea.
Lethbridge is a city that was founded by coal mining- and when I told folks that I was planning on going down on a work trip they told it me it would take my breath away- literally. When I arrived in Lethbridge it did, but not for the ferocious wind that had been the crux … Continue reading »
Sick Disgusting Love; Or the post I said I would never write.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She was blonde, with giant blue eyes who read hordes of fantasy novels, and was determined that someplace in the world existed such a magical world as those painted in her books. She dreamt of worlds where she could fly, or that she was secretly thwarting … Continue reading »
Feelings; Or the revelation that I have them.
Let me tell you a story: A long time ago, I was born. My parents eloped and decided to get married on rather short notice and a year and some later- I came to be. I grew up in different houses, and different places for most of my formative years- and thusly two things resulted: The first, … Continue reading »
Thoughts from the road- Saskatoon edition.
Have you ever noticed people in airport waiting areas? I’ve been in airports enough in the past five years now, that I am beginning to see trends in travellors based on destination. I have preferences on whom I sit next to, and I have airports that I prefer. I have grown to destest overly chatting … Continue reading »
Internal ramblings of a contemplative mind
The night is young, and so are we… A romantic thought. But it’s not quite truthful is it? I am baffled nearly daily at how so many of my graduating class are getting married, and even more common than that- having children. It used to be gossip. It used to be high scandal; until one … Continue reading »
That flimsy gauze around my heart.
This will be my first blog post of the year, and subsequently it is being written far too late at night and will not be the prettiest thing. Though, in the last year and a half I have learned at least one thing: beauty is overrated. The truth in things lay in the flaws of … Continue reading »
An overwhelming/underwhelming month
November- with every year… comes the stress mountain. Every year. Work explodes, home slows, and my motivation wanes. Change was apparent right out the gate. Where to start… Well. With my referrals at work slowing to a magical seven… I knew that come January I wouldn’t have a job. No stress… I knew that I … Continue reading »
