While You Were Sleeping.

This is my list though I'm not holding my breath cause it's very spendy!

-a zoom lense for my new camera
-a new ipod touch (the one that has the camera in it so I could have photo apps.)
-art supplies
-starbuck's gift card
-a new bag (which I'd have to buy myself cause only the person who owns the bag knows what she wants)


Really, my list is not that big, but it is expensive. :(

I celebrate Xmas and Boxing Day, because I am Canadian. We also celebrate New year's Eve, which is the anniversary of our first date. 22 years this year!

It's a toss up between my Uncle and my Mother, both of who I have excised from my life. One of the fabulous things about becoming an adult and being a strong woman is that you grow up and realize that YOU are responsible for how you allow others to treat you. I came to the conclusion that if I wouldn't allow a stranger on the street to treat me the way those two do, then I certainly could not allow family members to do it. There's no grey area in this at all. It's 100% UNACCEPTABLE. I do not treat people like that and I deserve better. You teach people how to treat you. If you allow it, then you have no one to blame but yourself. If you won't stand for yourself, then who will?

Because I like to know the people who are privy to my day to day life, please comment if you wish to be added. Only kind and friendly people need apply! :)

1. Have you ever had an addiction?
Nope.

2. Are you afraid of the dark?
No, I love the dark.

3. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Tin Roof Sundae or coffee flavour.

4. Have you ever been to the circus?
The Shrine circus many, many times-my Gramps was a Shriner so the circus was a yearly event.

5. What do you think of North Korea testing nuclear weapons?
It freaks the hell out of me. It's turned into one big pissing contest. Somebody's not going to be happy till they get us all killed.

I did some spring cleaning of my flist. If I removed you, please don't take it personally. I just need to pare down my reading time-it was getting overwhelming.

I wish you well!!

Small shadow settles
on broken buddhas
and family crosses,
Incense of roses
crowns the death.
Her history difficult,
hard hours,
little suicides.
The string of stars,
these white wing birds
gifts of the heavens
are with you.


Thanks Melissa-that was cool!
