Giving Thanks, Canadian Style
Being a dual citizen has its perks – you can live/work/travel on either side of the border, carry two passports and feel like a real, live spy and adopt the not-so-attractive title of “dually”. But, one of the cooler things about being a dual citizen is that you get an extra, “official” opportunity per year to…

Connecting The Dots
I just had probably one of the nicest conversations I’ve had on the phone with my mom in a long time. I had told her I had been putting my old journal entries (the current obsession of my life! lol) into LiveJournal and she asked me when they were from. I told her I had…

Archiving The History of Me
For some reason, lately I’ve been fascinated with digging up as much stuff from my past as I can. I’ve imported all my Facebook, MySpace and old Word journal entries and even found some old e-mails in my Yahoo! Mail account from 2003 which I was particularly happy to have found since there was info…

Tearjerkers and Rainy Days
I watched a movie last night called Away From Her. It was about a couple in their late 50s/early 60s who live in Ontario and the wife (Fiona, played by Julie Christie) starts becoming forgetful and the story starts off hinting around that she has Alzheimer’s. So, before her mind completely goes, she talks with her husband (Grant) and…

HoMEwork
I went for my first session with my new counsellor (until sometime in April 2008) at the New West/UBC Counselling Centre today. I hadn’t been since sometime in March or April of this year when I was seeing Robb. As always, I was dreading going in and having to meet someone new and re-summarize things that…

The Little Things
I’ve always been someone who gets excited about the little things in life – cute little birdies eating of my hand in the park, when Ferris comes to lie next to me on the couch or when I get in bed, seeing my old toys at my mom’s house for the first time in ages, getting a watch…

Trip Down (Bad) Memory Lane
I just imported probably 70 or more entries from a Word document I’ve been using as a journal off and on since 2001. The document is 97 pages long, so there’s quite a lot of memories and bitchin’ to have brought into LiveJournal at one sitting. I think I’ve been working on it for about 3 1/2 hours…

Putting the Pieces Together and Getting the Big Picture
For some strange reason, recently I decided I’d like to have one of those god-awful t-shirts we were forced to wear in Phys Ed in high school with my old high school’s initials on it. So, I set about searching the ‘net and found the school’s official web site: http://denhamhs.lpsb.org/ First off, the site sucks…

Flashbacks from the Mississippi Squirrel Revival
For those of you who have no clue about the reference in the title of this entry, there’s a comedy song familiar to most Southerners called The Mississippi Squirrel Revival by a guy name Ray Stevens. He’s sort of like Weird Al meets HeeHaw. This one particular song talks about a squirrel getting loose inside…
