Womanizer woman womanizer you're a womanizer.
Last night I realized that I very rarely refer to myself as a woman. It's always "girl." I feel strange when someone calls me a woman, even stranger when I call myself one.
I'm fairly sure it isn't just me, but I'm interested in hearing other people's experiences with "boy to man" and "girl to woman." Tell me, do you refer to yourself as a boy or ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts and thinks
I won a set of dogtags in a blog giveaway. It feels wrong to be wearing them. Oddly, I feel the same way about wearing a cross as I do about wearing dogtags. I shouldn't wear dogtags because I am not in the armed forces. I shouldn't wear a cross because while I was born and raised Roman Catholic, I'm a recovering Catholic - I've been clean for 11 ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I mentioned on Twitter the other day that I miss the good ol' days of Livejournal. Not just that I really enjoyed writing a regular personal diary, although that is part of it. I recall the days when a large number of friends were regular Livejournal contributors ( Read more... ) -

Ah, confession day!
I really want to try a variety of drugs; pot, 'e', LSD, cocaine, Heroine, and many others I don't even know about. I want bliss and oblivion and loss of control. I want chemical enlightenment. I won't though, I'm the product of the 'Just say no' suburbs. Drugs make me think of an egg in a frying pan. My peers may talk a good game, and I almost want ( Read more... ) -

Audioflies.
I've mentioned my love of covers on more than one occasion. I love covers of covers the most.
This is a fun little audio journey.
First you take Cliffs (the original), by Aphex Twin. Nice, trippy little piece of electronic composition.
Then, you take a cover, by Alarms Will Sound - an innovative ensemble of 20 musicians. Not dissimilar to ( Read more... ) -
On yoga, running, family and contentment
There is something very soothing about the life I live here in this city. I wake up, I feed Beatrice and help her to dress. I play with Margaret, I get her fed, dressed and ready for school. I run. I go to yoga. I meditate. I spend time surrounded by my family, being crawled on by little girls ( Read more... ) -
Ganesh is fresh, Becca is blessed.
I can't believe how being here is a balm to my spirit. I had no idea how much I was craving spending time with my family. Living in different cities, in different countries, from family generally doesn't bother me very much. The beauty of this system is that you can chose your own family. I have a family in Winnipeg that is not family by blood ( Read more... )
