I was going to reply to a comment on that entry, but I’m not a fan of writing novels in comments, so here’s the part of the comment that I’m responding to, and my reply:

As one of the people who needs to take a variety of medications every day for the rest of my life, I’m annoyed with the way you’ve written this entry. Have you ever needed to take medication such as anti-depressants? Or are you just talking out of your ass on this?

And here’s what I have to say:

It wasn’t getting to sleep in a little bit, which is nice whenever it happens. It wasn’t getting to see my parents when they picked me up this morning, which is always a treat because I don’t see them as often as I’d like. It wasn’t watching all of the proud men and women in … Continue reading Lest We Forget

Dear the 50 kids who get on the skytrain at Rupert each morning on their way to school: While I appreciate your zeal for education, embodied by the high pitched squeals that you seem to enjoy emitting so much, I must make one request. Nay, less a request than a demand! When all 50 of … Continue reading An Open Letter to my Fellow Commuters

An interesting entry over at NecroRogIcon. It’s nice to see people that have similar views to mine, and aren’t afraid to express them – even if they could possibly be seen as intolerant. And intolerance seems to be quite the mortal sin buzzword these days.

In any case, I was going to comment on his post, until I realized that my comment was getting to the length that it would be a post all on its own – so here you go, my thoughts on the issue:

As I was trolling around the blogroll in my Saturday morning stupor, I came across this little entry, with pictures and everything (definitely safe for work). My roommate bought the very same toothpaste, and, as is the case with most things in her world, she hates it. I had to try some for myself – … Continue reading Minty Fresh

My life is rated R.What is your life rated? Continue reading Who Knew

be sorted @ nimbo.net Congratulations on making Gryffindor! Basically, you’re brave, daring, chivalrous, and pretty much.. an all around good person. Of course, some see you as a goodie-two-shoes. But hey, it’s true! You’re really good at winning, and normally always come out as the hero. Everybody likes you.. except, maybe, the Slytherins. You’re too … Continue reading Harry Who?

I’m watching the “Goodbye” episode of 8 Simple Rules right now. It’s the most accurate and un-fluffy and true-to-life portrayal of a death in the family that I’ve ever seen. From the way the news was delivered, to moving through the memorial, to trying to accept it and imagine that your life might move on, … Continue reading Train Wreck

You know you work too much when you try to dial “9” before each call you make on your home/cell phones. Continue reading Observation

I forgot how nice it feels to cook, and then enjoy the fruits of one’s labour. Tonight I made a shrimp stir-fry, with broccoli, carrots, snap peas and red pepper in a garlic ginger sauce, on whole wheat pasta. And it’s quite tasty. But really (and this got worse as I reached past them for … Continue reading mmm food

I am addicted to Ikea Swedish Meatballs. They’re all I’ve eaten for 2 days. Help me! Continue reading Addicted

Not being able to tell the difference on my morning commute between actual vagrants, and people dressed as vagrants. Seeing girls who use the day as an excuse to wear black lipstick and dress like a ho (sorry honey, that’s not a costume). Tiny children throwing tantrums because of the uncomfortable plush costumes their parents … Continue reading Fun things about Halloween

I have just decided (after being slightly inspired by Sue) that I need to go to the Ballet this season. Specifically the Nutcracker. Anyone wanna be my ballet buddy? Continue reading Ballet

Today I realized that one of the anonymous blogs out there that I read sometimes when nobody on my blogroll is updating is actually written by someone I know. And the hontesy and self-truth that this person is courageous enough to write with really amazes me. I like to think of myself as being one … Continue reading Well Adjusted
