Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
I have come to the conclusion that there are only two kinds of dates. Good ones, and Bad ones. And I just had a “good one” and it’s making me smile more than it probably should. And I’m ok with that. But if you know me, you should call me sometime this Monday to Wednesday … Continue reading Polarity
A very good friend just phoned to give me some very good news!
Without saying anything more, it makes me feel like I am full of sunshine and puppies and hot cocoa and love 🙂
An Open Letter to the Five “big” local FM stations: Dear DJs, Can we stop with the sad songs each and every song all day long today? Even the rock station is playing weepy Emo songs. And when the country station is starting to sound the most optimistic – well there’s a problem. I’ve really … Continue reading Hey Mr. DJ
Preamble: watching Friday Night Lights, pondering the trials and tribulations (and memories) of living in a small town where the biggest goal is getting out (and also lusting after Tim McGraw), in a disgustingly popular movie theatre, where miraculously, it is less than 25% full and nobody is being annoying… yet…

The part I’m more interested in though, is his commentary at the end re: Hot girls’ annoying friends. My question is this: Is the annoying quotient of said girl’s friends directly proportionate to her hotness? I’ve got some really annoying friends, and am hoping that those odds stack up in my favour.

I forgot how much a date can feel like an audition or a job interview. And I was just not on my game tonight. Mostly because I’m tired and cranky. I did get flowers though, which makes me smile 🙂 And I don’t think he thought I suck entirely – so perhaps we can try … Continue reading Next!
These days I have been a busy, busy girl, spending much of my free time with some boys who’d like to get to know me a little better. And it’s absolutely torturous, because at this point, I can’t spew out little stories here to entartain myself (and hopefully anyone else who might read this). In … Continue reading Shameless Hussy
