for change
As school starts and I am not returning for this year I am fully realizing that I need to make changes in my life.
I have reprioritized and so far it seems to be working out for me. I have my kittens who make me so happy. I have a job that is kind of crappy, but it’s chill and I work with cool people, and I have really great friends and a boy who looks to be like a really good thing.

for connection
I sort of ignore things when I want to.
I am rewatching BSG and it is still mind-blowing. I found someone to show it to. I am super excited.
I’ve realized that it’s super easy to fall into ruts, I want adventures, not ruts. So until I can find a real job I am going to dress people up and continue to wear ridiculous clothing because I can. I am going to giggle at my life because...

for patio pints
The Broken City patio is amazing. I feel isolated from the world up there. It’s perfect for pretentious conversations about music.
The Ship patio is wonderful for people watching.
I need to make a larger and more comprehensive list of the patios in Calgary and what they are good for.
I also forgot how much I love summer clothes.
I have the feeling that Girl Talk might be the creator of...

for dancing
The new Metric album Fantasies has reconnected me with an old favorite. I saw them around two years ago and they were playing most of the songs off this album and I not sure what took them so long. It has been well worth the wait.
They played “Stadium Love” and I remember being blown away by it. It has shattered my memories and it is one of the most solid Metric songs I have heard in...

for the weekend
my momma comes today.
I couldn’t be happier.
for the time being
it appears as though I will be staying in Calgary next year. this means a few things.
1. I need to look for a job here
2. I will need to decide where I am living and with whom
3. I don’t have to leave my friends
4. I am sad that I won’t live with my sister
5. I should stop complaining about Calgary because I am stuck here for a while
maybe this won’t be the worst...
for human education
today a random professor yelled at me and a few of my fellow students for moving desks around in a class. our class does not have a formal professor anymore and we have adopted a tribal learning style. for this entire school year we have been moving the desks around to fit our educational needs and we have never had so much as a peep of a complaint until today.
this professor came in and ever so...
for beginners
my head seems to be full of nonsense.
