A Love Letter
This blog is the equivalent of a love note - tucked under a rock outside his ground floor bedroom for him to find when he sneaks out at night. He says he's in a dead land of shattered stone, alone. I know we're somewhere different this week... but I prefer this...

I much more prefer your place that that other place with shattered stones and men with heads full of straw.
What an odd day today.
Not sure what to write - staring at a blank screen.
I think my body's reaction to my mind being so confused today was to make me headachy and just incredably tired.
I could write about evil voices, confusion, frustration, strength (not mine) and above all love - but I don't even know where to find the words to start....

Staring at a blank screen...so much ammo...crazy serial killer references...make fun of Canadians...saying the headache is caused by that twin you absorbed in the womb...fact that you are a cannibal...
And good words to start are "once apon a time..."

My First Car
I didn't get my driver's licence until I was 25. And because Ontario has graduated licencing I didn't get my full licence until I was 30. C'mon - I lived in a big city - I didn't need a car!
So I got my licence and drove my mom's Camry... getting braver and braver until I could drive in downtown Toronto. Oh...

Funny...always thought you types tooled around on flying brooms.
Braaaaaains!
Okay - I asked for a suggestion for blog posts today and I got "brains" as a topic.
1. Why did I think brains are pink? I've been told they are white/grey. I did a lot of dissections in school - did I never dissect a brain?
2. The scarecrow was my second favourite character in the Wizard of Oz. I loved the lion...

Down to Up
I started the day with a rather sad blog - so I'll end with a happy one.
Things that make Joy happy (or joyful if you will):
A fire in my fireplace
That flushed feeling I get when I come in from walking the dogs in the cold
Singing along to music loudly in my car (there may be some dancing involved...

You forgot your fondness for watching hobos fight.
Oh and how happy you get hiding under bridges and scaring small children.
And...and that thing you do to the chickens.

Scared in the Dark
This happens from time to time. My alarm goes off... it's dark ouside. I'm alone. Every thought in my head turns against me.
You can't do this
You're ugly
You're going to fail
You made the wrong decision
Don't be silly - this isn't real
I pull the covers up and wait for the light. A little girl - scared and...

A.V. Stands for Artificial Vagina
My dream growing up was to be a veterinarian. I did well in maths and sciences, I had experience working with a city vet from a co-op program in high-school and I was accepted to a science program in a university that had a veterinary sciences program. Students could apply to the vet program after one year of undergrad science....

Yeah but at least I was getting paid. You were just being spooky.
The Worst Lab Ever (or Fun with Urine)
In my third year of university I was taking a class on physiology. Each week I would have three hours in class listening to lectures and then a three to four hour lab experiment. Each week would focus on a different system - nervous system, circulatory system, etc. This story is about the kidneys and urinary tract....

That's a funny story. I'm guessing the person who ate a candy bar didn't have to go to the bathroom at all. He or she probably felt left out (ha ha). Here's a funny story for you. I went to class one morning and.....Oh damn I gotta go pee now.
smaptie:
Oh snap! I was the "drink cranberry" control group. Headed out and ran into a tour group for new students. Talked to them for a while with this obvious glass of pee. Priceless.
Some Thoughts About Teachers
I truly believe that a great teacher can shape your life. When I was in highschool I was good in most subjects - sciences, English, math, art (not so much French!). I chose to pursue science because of one great biology teacher.
A few thoughts about a few great teachers.

What did he sing in the quartet? Baritone?
miss_joy:
That I don't remember - I do remember he wore a funny costume and had on makeup (which freaked me right out!)
The first boy I danced with was also my first 'boyfriend'.
I was in grade seven and I really liked Matthew who was a boy in my class with blond hair. He was also shorter than me, as were almost all the boys at that point. It was the last time in my life I felt tall!

Thieving Panda (An Illustrated Story)
When I was 21 I was dating ZenBoy, a club promoter and general slacker. He only worked doing "promotions" for one nightclub.
What this meant was that we would spend pretty much every Friday and Saturday night at this one club.
Now, I love Halloween, but by the time October 31st rolled around I was over it. I didn't really...

I think it was less to do with the club than the amount of alcohol consumed by the people in it. And maybe it was only one person... possibly two...

You were the cutest Panda ever I bet.
