I figure the arts are a fantastic commentary on our world - love music (yes, even a bit of country) and creativity, in general. oh, and... I'm "spiritual".Nanoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15481125566535013135noreply@blogger.comBlogger471100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12556055.post-5279205423915490062010-10-31T14:55:00.001-04:002010-10-31T14:55:40.358-04:00

Today, I'm procrastinating.  It's Sunday afternoon and I've been musing my day away.  In about half an hour, I'll need to get cracking on my homework but for the moment I'm enjoying thought. Swirl #1 - familiarity-breeding-contempt Graciousness allows me to care about another person without their expectations crushing me.  Boundaries allow me the space to enjoy their company without succumbing

I am back on Blogger! This time armed with a touch more information than before - namely Wiki knowledge. So, facebook / myspace / hotmail / lava / tickle - these sites have me mildly addicted. Thankfully, work takes up too much of my time :o) Perhaps letter writing can be added to my list of things to do. Good day!

1. can't use blogger at work - too many viruses 2. too many webpages to remember - this is most in one This could go awry, however, due to the number of various groups of people I know. Certain ones know specific areas of my mind. Now, I suppose, is a good time to reflect on my newest addition. Namely a piercing - speaking of which causes flushed cheeks and whinces of pain amongst most :o)

I'm at work, dreaming of what to do with my home! I wonder who to have over for dinner and what state of "unpacking" they should be exposed to. Tonight is my LeeLee girl. Next weekend is father's day and the following is my house warming turned block party!!! Our neighbour Ren took this photo. He is so very good to Gra and I. We all chill out together - no need for doors. No more boasting.

My "schedule" routinely morphs, however unconscious the attempt. Today, I juggle relationships. Quality time with nephews and chosen friends, backlog of emails (& myspace) with good friends, convo-s at work or some interaction with another human being. Either way, I'm mildly overwhelmed. I remember a time when relationships were just one aspect of my obligations. People are not the burden

You have such a deep willingness to explore who you are, who you were and who you want to become. I have never met anyone with your sense of self-reflection and self-analysis and it is both inspiring and painful. You have so much to say about your personality. The fact that you are constantly improving and bettering yourself is one of the great things about you.

Hello! was it GREAT or what!?! Quarantined for 3 days out of 7. Stinkiest port in the Caribbean. Tyrants exposed in the family (that's me, by the way). Then a week on land - day in Disney / baby back ribs / tan worthy of the "lobster" phase. I brought both my cameras and about 7 rolls of film. Didn't take a single photograph. We had a digital camcorder. Let's just say we lost a lot of breath

I like ripping into people. I feel like I've accomplished something different than "sweet and pleasant". ;o) It's nice as a CHANGE, only. As in a vent that explicitly runs through the core. I must tame the wild beast, however, since LOVE covers a multitude of sins. That is relating to my job - dealing with vendors. *ha hahhhhhhahahahahahah* I'm really liking my life. Thanks for the part "

last night, as i cleared a path through my room, i got incredibly exhausted! i can't tackle my room in a matter of hours. there are so many "things" that distract me - like hanging a book for notes when i'm not in / organizing my books to height in a shelf no one sees / hanging my clothes on their appropriate hangers.when i look at my room i see so many options!!! and as the psycho analyst in

I'm reading through Proverbs, these days. Simple truths that sometimes kick me in the head. 1. don't brag about self - allow others that role 2. if one remains silent - even a fool can be deemed wise 3. harlots vs. wisdom - there's some kind of link Anyhoo. I was compelled to read over my postings for fear of incriminating evidence ;o) - I mean, information. I'm struck by a few things. I

This site is seemingly obsolete, now - with myspace and other established forums incorporating a "blog". I still like it, though. Heading off to Ottawa, tomorrow afternoon. It's not even my singing debut. However, it's my debut of confidence. Oh, right... this is in regards to Canadian Idol. I doubt I can make it to the top but was jolted into the reminder of fear being my only obstacle.

When it rains... it pours (men, that is). Just like water, they escape my grasp. Sincerely, I'm not obsessed. Nor am I overwrought. However, my state would accurately be described as pensive. "Mary pondered these things in her heart"... this is an attribute I want to develop. Yet, here I am blogging. I just want to trigger some headspace memories. A-ha! my very own personal code!!!

There are some hotties out there! There are some genuinely nice guys ... however we wouldn't be a match made in heaven. Then, there are some really scary guys with tonnes of confidence. I avoid "old"er men because I don't want the baggage and bluntly - why are they still single? UNLESS it's the 40-yr old virgin, I'm simply not interested. I read a profile and translate with that de-coder

I had very limited access to the internet whilst in Kelowna, BC. Work = over 200 emails to process / Personal = about the same number. Thankfully, a number of them are JUNK/disposable. There's popular and then Ridiculous!!!

Sent out a "short" questionnaire and received oodles of praise-worthy responses. EVERY single person made me laugh (at a memory or simply picturing their responses). I am so very lucky to be surrounded by fantastic people. It may seem like flattery... however, our friendships are a great reflection of ourselves! ~*~ Love in any other form? no... a continuing "crush", however. My friend

My peeps exceeded my imaginative expectations... so much that i blushed and clammed up. **they love me** (left to right) Grace, me and Fran. We shared our cake with half the patrons at this Ethiopian restaurant - fantastic food!!! The festivities were in full British flair (music, manners and for a little bit even accents).

Blair Nicholas (aka Nebs) is 15 months younger than Seb. I still can't believe his parents got pregnant so quickly... but I'll avoid passing judgement ;o) He is bigger than either of his predecessors (they were generally in the small weight category = lanky - Adam / Seb). Enjoy!

What is permanent. I can change my name, my address, my "profile"... hell, I can even change my looks (from clothing to body parts). Somehow, I'm supposed to conjure up loyalties for companies that could sack me, lovers that most likely leave and family that may or may not be there for me. Maybe this is more a question of consistency/constants. hmmmm....

I'm a very proud aunt... Adam Cian was born in April 2004. His mom and dad are dear friends of mine. This photo was from Christmas '04... generally, he likes to wear bright clothing. Gabriel Sebastian aka "Seb" or "the Kid" was born May 2004. His mom is my sister. His dad is a newfie - enough said. (last Christmas, too)... he doesn't enjoy wearing antlers but he's a good sport.

Early morning I could be found by the inhabitants, wearing my pj's and draped in a bright yellow blanket.

a moment of "sharing" has revolutionized my outlook on relationships - friends, lovers, whatever! my attempts are akin to building a jigsaw puzzle - border first. i throw out the easy stuff, first... divorce, children, death and "would you still love me if i became a paraplegic?". for preparing men for marriage i score HIGH... but not any fruits i can enjoy - they marry (soon) after we break up.

Last night, I was consistently reminded of my new hairstyle. Everywhere I turned someone would comment on the length or colour. My hair is uber short because I got sick. Not cancer but my insides were rotting - seeped with poison... ewwww! To compliment the length and add some pizzazz I created an interesting shape of colour. First off, i need stronger bleach (v. dark brown hair). As a

a) i don't know how to "design" a webpage... so, this looks hokey. b) i forget that my random mind is not ALWAYS understood by others. c) my sarcasm may only be funny to me. This is coming from reading my profile info - after reading a few others. There is a discrepancy between what I mean to portray and what I eventually type. I like to think that I am funny with moments of brilliant insight.

Contemplating the lyrics whilst driving may not have been the wisest course of action... thankfully, the highway wasn't FULL :o However, my mind was filled with thoughts of victims - cancer, nature, politics, abuse, terror. Each one hurts. Yet, pain is a constant and remains unavoidable. Then there's death. It, too

may "friendships" sprout - where you least expect them... dreams fulfilled in the most bizarre ways... hope take flight - high above imagination... and all... knowing God is near! ~ 4 July, 2005 ~ It's a strange thing re-reading what I've written, in months past. Especially when I've been particularly vulnerable. Blogging aside (as infrequently as i do it)... I tend to "journal" as though

Friend, regarding the princess and the warrior actors... i love Franka Potente. her actor counterpart is quite attractive. i mentioned the movie because of the DANCING comments. i want to be a princess. i want to have a "warrior" of my own. this movie "der Krieger und die Kaiserin" reminds me of me.**crazy people falling in love** --- response on learning german --- The typical german will not

Auntie news, again! This time, Rachel was prepared for the c-section. Scheduled and ready to go at NOON, today. Little Nicky is a WHOPPING 8 lbs, 13 oz. **the alien/torpedo is out** 23 inches long... she got to hold him, right away! Lucky for him - he looks just like his brother, Seb. Seb was 15 months old, yesterday and cutting his eye teeth... so, he's drooling and has runny poo-galore! **oh

Ridiculous premiums for diddly-squat! "No-fault" insurance, in Ontario, means that each injured party goes through their own providing company. As a passenger - I still had to claim through my own insurance. As a rear-ended driver - repeat previous sentance. Now, ignore the three "convictions" for speeding (15 - 20 kms over) because the insurance broker has. I was informed that my "high risk"

It intrigues me how something could be so profound, in a moment... and the next, "something" completely different. Elaborate? I shall. Re-reading: ~ my idea of self - awfully negative! ~ email about life - random, dramatic and misleading *blah blah blah* Our minds change so much with the bombardment of daily information. Personally, a new thought-string takes me to another realm; a shift in

There are friends and then there are Friends. We all have friends... people that we get along with; see them "often" enough. Hopefully, though, we're (each one) lucky enough to find Friends. These are those who irregardless of time, distance, age, stage or predicament - none of that matters. Their company brings understanding, ease and unhindered depths of conversation. Perhaps the distance and

Is it possible for realistic expectations to be TOO high? I don't want a relationship, right now - I'm enjoying my freedom and independence. However, a date, now and then isn't a "bother". In a relationship, I know what I'm looking for... and for now, I enjoy the "prowl" - commitment, however, will quell this. As I get older, I begin to wonder - "what's wrong with me?" So, the first area to

Today is a new day... here. Compare: UK, it's afternoon; Australia, it's almost bedtime. So... is the dawning of a new day (season, riptide, etc) more a change within ourselves rather than a calendar? **ie. astrology, current division of days, religious festivals** One may hope to succeed in a "new year's resolution". However, a resolution could take place at any time, any week of the year!

I have been called many things in my life... but this is absurd. If one was to successfully cross the threshold of my bedroom - strike that... catch a glimpse of the mess KNOWN as my bedroom it's quite apparent that my tendancies toward perfection are lacking, to say the least. Mind you, it was pointed out that my room IS a catastrophe because of my verging on OCD. And then there ARE the
