Guess who has an iphone!
That's right - I have jumped feet-first into the world of technology considering I didn't even have a cell phone. Well... I had a cell phone once about 10 years ago for a year.
There is so much to figure out. I've only (unsuccessfully) sent a text message once in my life.
I'm looking forward to any and all suggestions...

You Who?
smaptie:
You who has those poorly constructed haikus.
So all of you Canadians and British - Happy Boxing Day! And for all of you Americans - you don't know what you are missing! I mean, when do you box up your presents to go home? Or when do your lords provide boxes of food to their serfs? or when do you... box each other for leftover turkey?
Okay - I will admit I...

Happy boxing day to you too. I used today to buy more blu rays

Well actually the origins of Boxing day dates back to 1900. During the Boxer rebellion. There was a small contingent of Canadian women in besieged Peiking. To help the multinational forces defending the lines, these women would wrap up the meager supplies as presents. Thus Boxing day...
So totally made that up. And we American's have the 4th of July where we celebrate the independence of our country by blowing up small bits of it.
And why is the Queen still on your money? I'm just calling you British from now on.
And thanks for the cheap drugs. We owe you a solid.

Yes, Christmas is upon us and the overeating has begun. I actually went to the same restaurant today twice (both the office gals and the parents chose it). Its bad when the waitresses remember you.
Todays count:
Coffee
Mochaccino
Potato chips (appetizer at this restaurant)
Apple/walnut/cream cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries and curry aioli
One bite each of four desserts that were passed around...

I believe you have been wrong because your reason doesn't contain booze anywhere. That's key.

Three Trips to Emergency
Trip 3: Boats!
For three summers I worked for a cruise line that did dinner and dance cruises in the Toronto harbour. I wore many hats tour guide, ticket seller, bartender and server.
On the night in question I was bartending. I was working one of my first shifts on a boat called the Captain Matthew Flinders. It held about 500...

You know this might actually fall under the head of High heel related injuries. Ok one last time remember Heel toe heel toe. That's how you walk in heels.

Um, ouch?
Anyway, you're now in SGMC. Merry christmas!

Three Trips to Emergency
Trip 2: Alcohol!
Remember when you turned 19 and could legally drink? I could drink two Mikes Hard Lemonades (what was I thinking blech) and be a tipsy happy girl for an evening. I would then drink two glasses of water before bed and be perfectly fine in the morning.
However, Ive never been particularly good at self-regulation. So sometimes I...

Three Trips to Emergency
Trip 1: Rats!
My first trip to the emergency department happened when I was twelve years old. I was in Grade 7 science class that was the year that science class consisted of learning through paper plane contests and building bridges with straws and glue to see which could hold the most boxes of chalk. It was also the year of...

Awww... I know. I didn't blame the rat - and they were taken home by a family to be pets - so it probably worked out better for them in the end.
Also, I would much rather deal with ROUSes than flame spurts or lightning sand.

Freckles
I defy you to find anyone with more freckles than me.
Of course, when I was a child I hated them. I was called Freckleface. My sister would chase me down and taunt me about how I even had freckles under my hair.
I remember being a child at the swimming pool in my favourite striped bathing suit. A younger child came up to...

One should reach boys how sexy freckles will look later that way they have a head start.

I love your freckles too!
It's always funny how the last person to appreciate certain features is the person who has them. Glad you learned to embrace them.

When I was 19 I fell in love. I fell hard.
I met DumaBoy at a club when I was in University. He was 29 to my 19. Our relationship is another story entirely but important to this story is that I thought he was the coolest, most intelligent person ever, and he had just returned from being a scuba diving guide in Honduras.

Had a friend ask me a couple of months ago if I would be more scared of skydiving or diving. I said diving cause of that whole rapture of the deep (and some people just will randomly take out the resperator in a fit of panic). Didnt think of doing a technicolor yawn.
And chickens, usually a bad sign.

First Kiss
I had my first kiss when I was 17. Keep in mind, I always liked the bad boys.
In grade 12 at 17 years of age I was trying so badly to not be the geeky kid I was. I wore my 10-hole Doc Martins and my secondhand flannel shirt. I think, looking back, I was pretty cute - but I was also...

Thats a sweet story. I started getting a sixteen candles feel. I was 17 as well and got a call from my next door neighbor (3/4 a mile away ah life in the mountains). She had a friend who had a crush on me so we all snuck out at night and walked through the woods to meet (she was a basketball player much higher than the optimum 5'3). Well yada yada yada she just ups and kisses me. I was quite shocked by how far someone can stick a tongue in your mouth if they are really trying.
