I am always nervous when I read these books, for exactly this reason. Favourite characters DIE.
The Situation
My upper lashes are more than half decent. I attribute this to my recent wedding, for which I really wanted nice lashes, and since then i have somehow managed to keep my pulling on them to a minimum.
My lower lashes have been annihilated. They’re just, they’re just not, is what they are. I cannot get a handle on them, or rather, getting a handle on them is all I do.
My eyebrows are...

I made the mistake
Of not immediately correcting my coworker’s irritatingly incorrect pronunciation of the word “aliquot”. She says “aquilot”, and every time I hear it, my eye twitches. I’m afraid I might scream the next time.

God I missed tumblr. I forgot how amazing it is.
Let’s see, I should probably post an obligatory update on the happenings since last May. Oh geez, what hasn’t happened?

I just ran my first one in december! Im sure youll be fine and no matter what your time is, it will be a huge accomplishment simply to finish. Most people dont run that long. Good luck! :)
Thank you so much! I did finish with a slower time than I’d wanted (2:11:46). It was actually well off the pace I...
This Sunday I am running my first half-marathon.
I am terrified.
The weather is supposed to be absolute shit: rain rain rain, wind, and cold. I don’t know how, since it’s fucking 27 degrees out today and humid enough to stick your boob to your armpit.
My point is, when my race time sucks the cancer balls on my chin, I will have an excuse, but I’m not happy about it.
But I am...

This is where we used to live
I am decorating our bedroom.
I haven’t done a lot with this house, mostly because I’m not interested in continuing my habitation here, but I finally reached the point where the portobello walls, brown curtains, and navy bed quilt was so bland I wanted to vomit instead of sleep.
It actually happened almost by accident. Fiance and I were driving around, shopping, for my birthday. I had...

The fucking snow storm we got on Wednesday has been royally messing with my motivation to run. It was -16°C this morning. And snowy. Happy fucking spring.

Eyebrows. I miss them, now that they’re gone :(

oh my goodness congratulations on getting married :) x
Thanks! I actually feel like it won’t be a big change, since I have lived with the guy for almost 3 years, and we own a house, and have a dog, but the actual wedding? It should be wicked awesome.

That about sums it up for me.
My eyebrows are a right mess. I have been under a lot of stress lately.
I hate my job, more than I could even describe. Unfortunately I need it for now - this stresses me out. I cannot even begin looking for a different one for a month or so, due to wedding and travel complications.
I am getting married in two months. I am incredibly excited about this, although anxious at the same time that...
I am feeling very frustrated with how the media is portraying the dangers of the nuclear plants in Japan, and what that might mean for Canada. Living with a nuclear engineer allows me to have a bit more insight into the matter than the journalists reporting on it, and their attempts to frighten everyone anger me.

Illusions of someday casting a golden light
You know, I posted a little while ago about the Hip. And my love for them. But I wasn’t clear with my wording and it turned out not to be concisely what I meant to convey. They do make me happy, and they do represent everything I love about life, but it is more than that. It is more specific than that.
Their songs are about life. Not love, not about the girl they like/love/hate. They have...
Ah, the elusive snow day
Thank god for crappy weather and the ability to “work” from home.

The Tragically Hip makes my heart ache with happiness. They represent all that I love about life.
