Poetry

Seems that everyone I know lately writes poetry. Devon and Arwen have theirs posted online. My roommate even takes time out each day to do some writing.

I used to write poetry, what happened? I guess I got too busy writing academically to want to write for myself anymore. Reading also took the same path. I embraced free time activites that included anything but reading and writing. A shame I think, considering I was even published in a Canadian poetry anthology in Grade 12.

So I’ve decided to go out on a limb and post some poetry I found in a drawer the other day. It’s from years ago (circa 1999), and I’m not sure how I feel about it anymore. One is very Avril Lavigne lyric-esque. The other is blatantly racist, and illustrates some of my frustrations at the time living in a very ethnically cliquey invironment – although racism wasn’t the intent as evidenced in the last verse.

Bikini Weather

I was out shopping yesterday at Winners, and found the bestest tankini ever. Any woman will understand that a good swimsuit is worth its weight in gold. Thankfully this one was Winners priced. If you saw me break down in the middle of Sportchek and burst out of the changerooms with a cloud of tears, … Continue reading Bikini Weather

It’s been awhile

Well, it hasn’t been that long since I’ve updated, but it feels like it. I kept meaning to – but the time and inclination never seemed to match up until now. My graduation went very well – quite a nice day all around. It was a lovely ceremony (you can still watch it, archived here) … Continue reading It’s been awhile

Sunshine

Being that it’s an absolutely gorgeous day, I went out rollerblading. Being that it’s still absolutely gorgeous, I figured I’d go lay out on the grass and tan. Unfortunately some fucktard figured it’d be a great time to water the lawn. That shit’s gonna burn, asshat. Continue reading Sunshine
