the credit card company made me cry

Posted on May 31, 2006. Filed under: Uncategorized |

I was just about to turn in early last night when I spotted a letter addressed to me. As I opened it and read the contents, I burst into tears. Now, I usually only cry when frustrated, and these were definitely tears of frustration.
About 6 weeks ago there was a huge fradulent charge on my [...]

joan smith and the huxtables

Posted on May 31, 2006. Filed under: Friends |

I just came across the website of a girl I went to Queen's with — Joan has a killer voice, and if you're ever able to see her perform, you'll be absolutely blown away. She'll be at C'est What in Toronto on July 8 at 10:00 pm if you want to drop by. Check out [...]

going to finish the trip i started three years ago

Posted on May 31, 2006. Filed under: Family, Travelling |

I booked my ticket for my trip to the UK in August! I’m really quite excited, kind of sad because of the circumstances that brought me home three years ago. I started talking about my trip here and so far have continued
here, but am not quite done telling the tale in between.
The conclusion, however [...]

i forgot to mention

Posted on May 31, 2006. Filed under: Friends |

One highlight of the night last night was that all of the customized awards are made in the little village I grew up in and live in. They had a little video clip explaining the creation of the glass awards and the artist and they mentioned The Glen! I’m definitely a Glen girl through and [...]

CNMA awards

Posted on May 30, 2006. Filed under: Uncategorized |

I went to the Canadian New Media Awards last night and it was a lot of fun, though a late night. I realized that I didn't really know too many of the companies who were up for awards — which I should perhaps remedy if I want to work in the industry…hehe.
I love going to [...]

backtracking to backpacking part 2

Posted on May 28, 2006. Filed under: Travelling |

I started reminiscing about my backpacking around the UK, and I thought I would pick up on the next leg of memories.
The post-Glasgow leg of the trip was entertaining to say the least. I hopped on the train (the rail pass was the best purchase I ever made) and headed to the Isle of Skye. [...]

worriedness another oldness indicator

Posted on May 28, 2006. Filed under: The boy(s) |

So I’ve only spoken with Brian for about 15 minutes since he went back to Arizona last week. Not a problem, but he was going away for the night about an hour and a half from Tucson and was going to be heading home for his radio debut that was at 5 am his time. [...]

playoff hockey memories

Posted on May 28, 2006. Filed under: School |

Remember when we were still in Kingston, but most of our furniture wasn’t. It was playoff time, which meant it was also exam time, but we had finished our final fourth year exams. We filled up our Nalgene bottles with alcohol and walked over to Dustin’s place to watch the game — getting updates from [...]

opening day and crown mouldings

Posted on May 27, 2006. Filed under: Family |

It’s opening day for soccer in town today — since there are some 4000 or more kids in town who play, you basically get to see everyone you know in one fell swoop. I stopped by my little bro’s fundraising table to purchase some raffle tickets (fingers crossed that I win the fire pit or [...]
