Something in a Shade of Grey
Well hello
I am perpetually trapped in a real-life soap opera. Sometimes I will tell you about it. Sometimes I won't.

You're a goddamn treasure.
A total stranger once said to me, “You’re a goddamn treasure and if they don’t see that, screw ‘em.” Thank you, total stranger! Sometimes people who admire you at a distance can see how brightly you shine while those closest to you might need a kick in the pants to remember. Never settle. Today go out and show them how you sparkle because you, loverface, are a goddamn treasure!
Today remind yourself: I’m a goddamn treasure.
Awww…
Holy. Shit.
I take back any complaints I have ever made after encounters with the “worst/creepiest/most arrogant guys ever” approaching me. This guy wins. And by wins I mean FAIL.
Edit: I don’t even care if this is fake. Still makes me appreciate the normal level of creepiness displayed by control room guy at the forensic hospital who watches me on the surveillance cameras all day and opens locked gates for me two seconds before I arrive at them and then hands me his number with “here is the cure to loneliness” guy.
Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day, fellow Canadians!
What a great day to be proud of our country, and remember the historical significance of this day.
And of course, ignore all that completely, drink beer, wear red and white, watch fireworks and even paint our faces (for the more extreme of)!
Have a great holiday everyone, don’t drink and drive, be safe and party your face off.
Wasting time...
I have to complete somewhere around 160 hours for the first practicum for my Forensic Psychology Certificate that I decided I needed to tack onto my degree (Honours Neuroscience. No big deal, hehe).
However, I find this excruciatingly slow and I know I have to get the first practicum done before September, as I have to complete the second one throughout my already insane senior year next year. I can’t seem to get enough hours because I never have more than 5 hours of work to do in any given day here per WEEK, and also because I need money more than I need to read crazy-people files, and spend the majority of my days at my job. Speaking of which, it is Canada Day tomorrow (woo!) and I am very excited to make double time plus tips.
So I am just wasting time right now, doing nothing but building hours, instead of going home and doing this very thing. Plus I know I have a pretty awful feeling awaiting me when I get home, and I would like to put that off for as long as possible.
Look forward to my new series of blog posts that I will begin to work on tonight- my favorite strange and/or interesting neurological/neuropsychological defecits or syndromes. Throughout my degree I have been left in awe of how our brain really works, how specific (yet blindingly imperfect) it all is, and have marvelled at the symptoms when something goes awry. I will share some of the weirdest or most interesting problems that arise when a patient has a stroke, was born with a rare condition, or was in an accident that caused brain damage. You may or may not have heard of some of these before, but a refresher never hurts, and I am a huge nerd for this stuff!
If you have a personal favorite that you would like me to analyze, by all means email me and let me know.
xoxoxo
Roll Call?
Having Google Analytics attached to my blog is so much fun. I can see so much about each visitor. I have a lot of return visitors, the majority of which I can identify.
However…
There are several return visitors who do not comment, and I know where they are from. One such visitor creeps up to 5 or 6 times each day!
So…if you guys like to read and watch this blog, let me know who you are in the comments! Otherwise, it’s just (more than) a tad creepy.
And like I said—I know who most of you are, whether you think I do or not.
Mostly I am just curious, and want to know who you guys are too.
Reason #8045390485 why you should not get or keep a Myspace account
Because you find things like this on Myspace.
This picture actually comes from the fact that someone posted a bulletin, asking all of his friends whether or not this particular disgusting sexual act was appropriate on a second date. A “friend” of his in response created this flowchart.
I can’t lie, I actually laughed a little that this exists.
THANK YOUUU!!!!!
Time stamps now exist. Yay!!!!! However getting them to read in Halifax time (1 hour later) will be a bit of a trick. Until further notice, read all my timestamps as an hour later than they say, except from Friday-Tuesday, because they will be correct when I’m in Toronto.Just get it done
So…going out to party the night before a 9 am flight is likely not the best idea in the world. However I owe my roommate a massive favor and promised her I would (plus I bought my incredibly attractive outfit). Her response when I said I had a 9 am flight the next day, fishing to get out of the meet and greet, went something like “wow that’s going to suck for you getting up so early after going out with me!”. Sigh. Yes it will.
My schedule for today and tomorrow is as follows:
8 am- Wake up, albeit slowly and get ready
9 am- Post office. I had some things sent back to me that needed re-mailing, that I have been procrastinating on. (I am not impressed with the postal services right now, they cost like eight hundred billion dollars and rarely work).
10 am-12 pm- Shopping in the bigger mall with Jamie to find accessories for her outfit. (Kevin I swear to God if you aren’t hot I will kick you right in the shin). End up buying a salmon colored purse I don’t need but that is outrageously adorable.
12 pm- 2pm- Drop Jamie off at work, come home to write this and stalk people for a couple hours. Make sure my horoscope still promises me good things for today. Make sure the weather is going to be nice to plan what to wear to work.
*I end up with 4 seasons worth of clothes in my trunk because the weather here is so variable, and I work outside*
2 pm- 9:30 pm- Go to work. Aka the easiest way to earn money on the planet, flirting with attractive boys and watching them golf. I love my job.
9:30 pm- 10:30 pm- Pack my bags, I’m going home in the morning!!!
10:30 pm- 11:30 pm- Get ready to go out. Hurry if at all possible. Get angry at cab driver for attempting to take us the long way to the bar for a bigger fare.
11:30 pm-1:30 am- Argyle! This is where they hide all the hot people in Halifax (after 3 years here, I just realized that yes, they do exist). Avoid the drunkest guys in the bar, try to remain sober. Fail.
1:30 am-2 am- Try to block out any sounds coming from Jamies room.
2:00 am- 6:00 am- Passed out.
6:00 am- 7:00 am- Get cuter than I probably need to to go to the airport. Feel self conscious because everyone in Toronto will be dressed better than me.
7:00 am- 8:00 am: Drive to the airport and park at ridiculously expensive parking lot.
8:00 am-9:00 am- Check in, probably get scolded because my bag will be overweight because I don’t have the “pack light” gene. Flirt enough to not pay a fine. Regret choice of shirt with no cleavage. Wait.
9:00am- 11:00 am- Fly home…get ogled by creepy old/foreign/doesn’t bathe enough/overzealous dude next to me. Remember why I chose the shirt with no cleavage. Fall asleep with my mouth open and look stupid for two hours.
10:00 am-11:00 am (time change, it is now Toronto time!)- I’m back! Chat with my mother, attempt to not fall asleep in the car, fail.
11:30 am: Greet my puppy. Outdoors. He gets so excited to see me that he pees.
Woo!!! Next four days after that will be all about showering in a clean bathroom, eating real food at real meal times, and getting a sweet tan at some point between Wasaga beach with my friends and the new boat with my family.
Can.not.wait.
Will post pictures.
I wish...
That blog posts on Tumblr had exact times of posting…so that I knew what time others posted their blogs and so people could see what time I posted as well. Not just the day, the TIME of day.
Am I an idiot? Can I see this? Can everyone just do this for me please? I am really anal and I need this.
Biopsy
Rescheduled to July because I am going home to Ontario this weekend instead of getting pieces of skin cut out of me and then stitched back up…
Sounds like a reasonably fair trade haha.
Can’t wait to see my friends, family, and doggies!
