“Agh, I dropped my clip-on earring in the sink!”
Me: I’m not sure what the play is about…I think it’s like, these people are penpals and they really love each other but they don’t know that in real-life they ALSO know each other, and they’re enemies. I can’t remember if that’s what the play is about , or if that was an idea someone had, or –
Scott: – Isn’t that “You’ve Got Mail” ?
That reminds me of the time I told my boyfriend in grade 11 I had my shoes stolen off my feet…I really believed it when I said it…but seconds later realized that actually DIDN’T happen to me, that it happened on “Sex&the City”…

“I HOPE I DIE IN THE MAZE!” -Skye, whilst reinacting guilting her boss at an amusment park because she was in trouble for taking too long of a break. (She was having an asthma attack for God’s sake!)

Jock: (in the middle of analysis work, turns to her) Do you pay to have your jeans look like that?
Jenna: Why, do you want a pair?
“Life isn’t terrible!”

MyYen: Give the mug to your mother! She carried you for 9 months!
Me: Actually, I was adopted.
MyYen: You should still give it her.
Me: Yeah…she did have to drive to the adoption agency to pick me up.

The worst part of my day is usually biking home after going to the gym. The gym is located in the basement of a huge building, filled with many restaurants, bakeries, and a whole food court. How is that fair, life? How? Why did you put the gym under the movie theatre that always smells like delicious popcorn?
Plus on my route home I have to bike past that new poutine restaurant.

Dear boys that work at Film Buff,
You are so, so cute. And always able to make me chuckle, giggle, blush, or smirk. But why were you so mean to me last time I was in? Were you weirded out by my yoga pants, bike helmet, and the fact I rented ‘Diner‘? I can’t always be wearing nice dresses and renting Katherine Hepburn movies. Katherine Hepburn is way more intimidating then Kevin Bacon, by the way!!
Were you upset because when you pointed and said the movie I was looking for was by Clint Eastwood’s face, I didn’t know which row to look? Did you assume I don’t know who Eastwood is and then decide to judge me?
You are crazy, attractive FilmBuff boys! Perhaps you were disappointed because my cute step-sister wasn’t with me this time? I don’t know what it was, but you were inexplicably short with me, and I didn’t appreciate your tone. It made you not so high on the hot-schedule.
Please go back to being charming and helpful next time I come in. Which may be soon – I need a Garbo fix.
Yours,
Meghan.

A few Thursdays ago, I was cycling home from class, over the DVP bridge, when a fellow biker pulled up beside me to say, “You’re an amazing biker! You own that road bike! I was behind you thinking wow, she’s really fast and she’s wearing jeans and hilarious 80’s flats but you seriously own it!”
I told him it was my first road bike and he said “Well, you really know how to ride. You have amazing leg speed!”
Thank you kind sir.

Dream analysis tells me my dreams have been saying this:
“You’re feeling exposed, or forced into a vulnerable situation in real life somehow…someone is crossing your boundaries, taking advantage of you, or “intruding” on your life somehow in real life.”
I’ve had dreams that represent “the health and well-being of [my] mind, body, or spirit—especially through cleansing and releasing of the old, decaying, or toxic elements in your life” but that the “cleansing and releasing outdated or toxic thoughts, emotions, beliefs, judgments, or physical toxins or decay” needs more attention. I am also apparently “thinking about a frank, straightforward interaction with someone in [my] life.”
This was all from the Curious Dreamer, which reminded me “the subconscious mind may not see much difference between a seeing a person in the media and talking to them in person.”

well my trip home has come and gone…more on that later, i guess?
i am in the midst of a detox and lemme tell you, all i think about is naan bread, soy lattes and junior mints. (that was mostly what i thought about before but now it’s worse.)
here is what i can eat:
fruit, vegetables
rice, quinoa, amaranth, millet, buckwheat,
beans, lentils, unsalted nuts or seeds, nut butters (except peanut/peanut butter)
extra-virgin olive oil, vegetable salt, sea salt, vinegar, soy sauce or tamari, all herbs/spices,
green & herbal tea
water, lemon water, pure unsweetened fruit and vegetable juices, rice milk
i am not having coffee, wheat, sugar, dairy, gluten, yeast, alcohol, food additives and preservatives, or chocolate.
i had really bad headaches on friday and saturday, but today hasn’t been too bad. i think i even feel up for the gym tomorrow. i’m introducing things back in little by little…i think sugar and coffee will be last…right before food additives and preservatives.
i am also drinking more water than i have in the last year, i think. i also have to pee every 45 minutes which is quite embarrassing at work, to be honest.
THINGS OF NOTE:
-i am starting a playreading book club tomorrow. oscar wilde. DON’T BE JEALOUS.
-started watching ‘slings&arrows’ and ‘firefly’ at stephanie’s last night (over a bowl of rice and orange herbal tea)…’slings&arrows’ and i are going to get married. bob martin, how you be such a genius?
-claire eff threw a sausage breakfast sandwich at my knee today. (ok, so she dropped it off a plate and it hit the back of my knee. the best part was her first instinct was to try to wipe it off my white tights [!!] with my legwarmers. ahahhha….i love you, fletch.)
-arcade fire will never stop being amazing, ever.
–i fail at everything real
HAVE I DYED MY HAIR?
semi-permanent.
YESSSSSSSS
i feel
-taller
-more like myself
-ready to dance
-smitten
-taller???? what???
1. i love soy bacon more than practically anything you could name. (try me!)
2. i hate wearing pants. you know how when kids are like, a year or so old and they fuss when you try to dress them? that’s like me.
confessions!!
it’s like post-secret but you guys know its me. (oh come on, if you saw a post-secret about soy bacon you’d know.)
HERE IS A PICTURE OF ME AND KATE:
we used to a) work at a local coffee shop in halifax where we’d eat all the food and bring our laptops to work, and
b) look like this.
she blogged about me one time.
