Happy New Year
Well friends,
2010 has been in an incredible year in many ways. Overall, it has been a very stable year. I got my first real job and I met some new friends… many of whom I met through Tumblr. Hi Sam! :-)
I hope 2011 treats you all well and I can’t wait to see what adventures we all get involved with and all the great stories that come along with it.
Remember that life is what you...

Woo hoo!!
I showed up at work today, feeling much better than I have in the last few days to discover that none of my co-workers cars were in the parking lot. I quickly got out and ran to the door. Locked. Kick ass! I ran back to my car and blasted Matt Good all the way home.
Fuck yeah!!
Holy Moly
I am a humble person. I have a hard time accepting compliments from people. I don’t like to show off either, though every once and a while I will… but I do it in a subtle way. For example, when I am riding my bike and there is a big hill coming up, I always put my game face on and make sure that I make it up the hill no matter what! (Especially if shes cute!). Not that this is a...

Up On The Edge
Certainly there are things that need to be said before the years end. There will be no resolutions because they are always broken and forgotten. So instead - as I have been inspired by a fellow Tumblr - I am going to make a bucket list! I sometimes think long term but I know I also need short term goals, so if I make one long list of everything I want to do in my lifetime - this is the...
Friends
I’ve always known that friends are important and I just got another taste of it tonight. I was worried a few times during the night but my “fancy” dinner party was a success! The idea began as a friend was looking for an excuse (like an excuse was actually needed) to find something to wear her new dress to. Being the frugal people that we are, she doesn’t buy dresses unless...

Things of Note
Outdoor ice skating is one of the greatest things to do with friends - especially at night near a cafe! Highly recommend it. If you do not have anywhere to skate or anyone to skate with… or perhaps you have never skated before??!?!?? Let me know! I would gladly go anytime!
Friends are wonderful. I wish I could see them everyday. I truly do! Maybe one day that will become a reality.

I Want To Go On A Trip
So that I can make another photobook. I love photobooks. Oh and for the sake of travelling as well. I do like to see new things and go on adventures!
I think its time I made a numbered list of the places I want to go. But deciding where to go first is going to be difficult. Very difficult. Maybe I need to go somewhere that I don’t want to go/ haven’t thought of yet. That would make...
k-mac-attack asked: Hereee I'll ask you some questions! :)
How was your Christmas?!
What is your favorite movie? (which is the hardest question in the entire world so top 5 or something is fine :) )
What's something you've always wanted to try to do but never had the chance to?

Bored Again
With all the Christmas festivities dying down and nothing going on, I have nothing to do. Not sure what I would like to do either.
So ask me a question! I do love questions! Anything!
Ask!!

– Romantic Comedy by Stars
Oh Well.
I wrote a long post about my Great Aunt and Uncle, but decided to delete it all. I will say only that they are truly an amazing couple. There is so much that intrigues me about them that I could listen to them for days. The journeys they have been on… the places they have seen, and everything.
I leave you with my favourite words of the night.
As the presents are being handed out, my Uncle...

Spotlights In The Park - Part 3: Glorious Hands
The park was empty, quiet, and cold. A new calm wind blew on this night, gentle and stirring. Just as before, I could hear the metal swings groaning and the water in the trees cracking. I gazed through the night towards my refuge in the park, a glimmering beacon of triumph as well as failure. The darkness grew lighter and paler as I stood between the stone arches - the familiar forewarning of a...

Tonights To Do List
I am a little behind on things, but this cold is completely at fault. I just the most glorious nap, though now I am a little sad that I have slept through part of Christmas eve.
Clean room
Wrap presents

Sleep
I imagine that the room cleaning will mostly involve cleaning up my clothes off the floor and putting them somewhere else. I have to find places...
Why Why Why Why Why!
I don`t want to whine or anything, but I always get sick a day or two before Christmas. I have my wonderful brother to thank, at least I am pretty damn sure that it was him, as he is not very conscious about keeping the germs away from the rest of us. He seems to think so, but I disagree. So now, I am annoyed once again, but this seems to happen every year, and the last thing I want is to have a...
When someone asks me, "How's your love life?"

Amazing Labyrinth
Alas, we came upon the long days end as wistful thoughts of a beautiful night fell quietly through the cracks. We suffer through the day, thinking only of the light at the end of the tunnel, only to realize that when the doors open, the sun will have passed well into the horizon. We must now make all that we can within the night.

Tonight...
Yup, the world is definitely against me tonight. It started out alright. I finished dinner and went upstairs to play a few games. Had some fun and a few laughs and then I went downstairs to listen to some music and sketch for a bit. The sky was clear for the lunar eclipse.
Shortly after that, I remembered that I had some work to do. I also discovered an e-mail. I was supposed to go to a meeting...

Spotlights In The Park - Part 2: Hide & Forget
Morning’s breath was cold and damp, but beneath the sheets, she could not reach. I relished the thought - hiding from the frigid winter air, when only some short hours ago, I bared witness to the birth of the first snow of the year. There are times in a persons life - though they may not know it until much later - that learning to trust oneself is the most important, as well as the most...
Why, Oh Why!
Does my ankle hurt so much right now? I haven’t been playing sports and I have so much as looked at a soccer ball this year! I know we’ve had some rough days in the past, and there was that one time on the Bent Rim trail, where I had to bail - you weren’t happy about that - neither was I really, as it hurt more than just my ankle. But why so suddenly are you flaring up? Is it the...
Ruh Roh.
So, I live in my pjs. When I come home after work, I put on my pj’s and thats it, unless I am going out again or something. So to my displeasure, I have discovered a hole in them! It was a rather small hole to start with - but it’s gotten much bigger and anything I do seems to rip it even more! And yeah, it’s going to get reeeaaaalllyyy awkward soon. Haha!
Past & Dessert
The snow fell blindly through the nights thick haze. When the winds blew, we knew it was time to wrap ourselves with the warmth of familiar faces and contagious laughter. I knew their faces but not all of their names, not a matter as introductions commenced. We knew them better by the sound of their voice and laughter, their bright smiles, and others by their charming looks and beautiful shapes.

I Am Cold...
… Please bring me a blanket and keep me warm? I’ll share my body heat with you. Promise.
Off to bed I guess. I had planned part 2 of something I wrote a while back, but every time I start to gain an interest in it, I am distracted and can’t get back into it when I return. Oh well. Maybe I shall save it as a Christmas treat or something.
:-)
