twenty-five things.

1. i have several kinds of deodorant. different smells for different days/moods. sometimes i just need a little 'tropical breeze' in my pits.

2. i once owned a serious collection of over 75 rubber ducks, which i use to showcase in a display cabinet. one day, i gave them all away to a kid at a garage sale.

3. i take weird pride in my unorganized tea cupboard.

4. i've been fired three times. from socan, the green room and from selling knives!

5. i take approximately 2.5 baths a week. i'm going to say it's because i'm a fire sign.

6. i was raised by dolphins.

7. i think red bean ice cream is THE BEST.

8. i find the "fun" in aquafit classes.

9. when i was younger, i use to think i was peter pan because i could crow really well.

10. i've always wanted to be homeless for a day. i'd put on some stage makeup and dress the part just to see how much money i'd make.

11. i have a weird thing for orca whales. i blame it on free willy. i once called the 1-800 number from the credits and adopted one.

12. i use to play curling, every sunday. i only did it because it was fun to yell "HARDER!" and pretend fly.

13. i still have the nightmares where the alligators are trying to bite my toes.

14. i am afraid of thunderstorms. if i'm not with someone, i will sleep where there are no windows (i.e. the washroom).

15. i sat on my macbook and busted my screen two months after i purchased it (over a year ago). i've become the queen of "shifting windows" since i can't afford to fix it. best part? i am STILL paying for it.

16. i have a notebook for everything.

17. i color co-ordinate my 'things-to-do' in my day planner.

18. i use to play the keyboard. i never listened to my teacher and lied about reading the notes. i could only play by ear.

19. currently, i am buying 2-3 albums a week. music rules.

20. my motto is 'i can do that'. i often take on too much at the same time. leaving some things unfinished. but i try to dabble into a bit of everything.

21. i named my first cat 'mini-me'. i have an austin powers doll in my room. you press a button and he says things like "very shag-a-delic!"

22. i eat a silly amount of sushi.

23. i prefer to use baby soap.

24. i keep a penny in my shoe for good luck.

25. i think my boobs can tell time.

when the sun hits,
bask in your golf-glory
and run home to your ugly wife.

i was too good for you.

the z remedy.

tossed, turned and tangled i am
in a sheet cocoon.

eyes shifting nervously,
i wonder
if closure has come unannounced.

the days help constrict
your pillow shape.
while
our patterns
begin to disintegrate.

dry tears fall
in vain
and sorrow weakens again.

TONIGHT!

Bring your snowshoes.

too much.

i won't change on the count of your insecurities.

i am who i am,
love me or hate me.

you and i.

we get into late night trouble.
and
the self-indulgence
WILL
burst in time.

IMPRO A LA CARTE!

This Wednesday @ COMEDY BAR.
Watch a sneak peek.

what a great show tonight!

the sad little bunch.

there are copious amounts of depression surrounding me.

and it's not even february.


we may find ourselves...

*unintentionally rejecting or pushing away something that we love.

*thinking of what it might be like, on the other side.

*making plans and breaking them.

*taking frequent naps.

*choosing comfort foods over physical comfort.


the laughter shields
our darkest times
as we dance
into their minds.
and all we can really do
is keep talking
like hallmark cards.
because that's how we do.

nanny.

dans une chambre,
illuminee d'un bleu pale
le cadre de famille
te regarde.

les jours
un apres l'autre
se ressemblent
et la fatigue s'eleve
d'une temperature
inevitable.

les annees
d'amour,
de sourires,
d'histoires plus heureuse
surface nos memoires
sans choque initial

tes yeux
guide d'un chemin faible
se fatiguent
et
depuis longtemps
ils demandent
un voyage.

je pense souvent a toi,
ton amour,
tes garcons,
et surtout ta fille.

du fond de mon coeur,
j'aimerais que tu continues a sourire.

car tu es bien aime.

little sister.

i just pulled my hair up
with the tension from my arms

how you need a smack!
or a case of whip lash-
SMELL THE COFFEE!

i want you to learn
without these mistakes.
i want you to grow
without my guidance.

but blood binds us.

so
you sleep
alone in the empty room
slurring your case
like a fool
and my head shakes like fists.

shame on you once-
but twice?

i am at a loss
for many things.

bonjour cherie!

i am really happy you started blogging.

tonight's

the night we're going to make it happen.
