This: If I could have that tattooed on my body, I would. (…Actually!…Maybe???) And this: “If you want something you’ve never had before, you have to do something you’ve never done before.” – Michael Jackson? (???) Onwards and upwards, my friends!

I know what you’re thinking. People can’t propel themselves into the air by excreting feces. And, yes, I suppose you’re right. In fact, now that I think about it in the light of day, it does sound pretty ludicrous. But try telling that to my subconscious. The dream starts harmless enough, I suppose. I’m watching…

I have a blog? What??? So anyway, yeah, I’m still alive and my Internet connection works and my fingers remain functional, so here you go, a blog post. A. 3 reasons why I hate articles of clothing that start with “boyfriend”: They are called “boyfriend pants,” or “boyfriend jeans” or “boyfriend sweatshirts,” etc. and I…

[Addendum] A couple of very promising things happened to me after I wrote this that have made me feel better about things, one of which is the possibility of a job that I really believe I would actually enjoy doing (apparently they do exist!). But even if I don’t get this dream job, my verdict,…

Maybe it’s because I’ve been a student pretty much all my life, but Labour Day just feels more like the beginning of the new year to me than Jan. 1. Besides buying a new agenda recently, I also put a post-it on my laptop with my 5 goals for the year without realizing they were,…

You know how sometimes on T.V. and in movies, people who are recently unemployed mope around aimlessly and watch bad daytime television ad nauseam? I don’t have that problem. I think I could find useful things to do to fill a thousand unemployed days. Of course, I consider watching the entire first season of Dollhouse “useful.”…
