I fucking hate being sick. I really fucking hate being sick when I’m on vacation. I survived the holidays…. Just barely. I was able to write about my mum… thanks to The Band for being an outlet for me to express my pain. If you want to read it, it’s here . SO… what’s new with me? Nothing. I’m sick, watching Netflix and not looking forward to being back at school in a week. I’m not making any New Years Resolutions.. because they are worthless anyway. I am just going to try and work harder at feeling better and dealing with my issues. I’m going to get out of bed every day and face the world. I’m going to love every moment I spent with my family and friends. And I’m going to try to be the best person I can be. Hope the rest of you have had a very wonderful holiday and I wish you all the best in the new year!

THEN Before my parents got divorced and therefore before Christmases became awkward…… we used to decorate the Christmas tree as a family. That meant ………tinsel. If you don’t know what tinsel is, it’s the silver stringy shit that people put on their tree to make it look pretty… or IMO to make it look like silver stringy shit threw up on it. fa la la la la ..I look like crap Especially our tree. I swear our mum liked so much tinsel on the tree that you couldn’t even tell there WAS a tree underneath all the tinsel. That’s not even the worst part.. If you can believe it. The worst part was the fact that my mum insisted we put the tinsel on the tree ONE PIECE AT A TIME! Do any of you know how fucking long that takes? I’ll give you a visual…. Tinsel packs usually have like 300 pieces in a pack and my mum liked to put on 2 or 3 boxes. And I’ll say it again.. one at a time. We tried to make it fun… like when my mums back was turned, my dadwould take a whole handful and throw it on. H

it's like I'm a fucking saint, yo.... helping others be grateful for their own lives just by the simple fact that they don't live my shitstorm of a fucking existence. So..... it's Monday. What does that mean? Well... not much for me cuz I'm done with classes, but I should probably be studying.  Am I? fuck no! .. I'm taking after Noa's science ......... oh.. and thanks to Jen as well for a Monday distraction with listicles.... except my listicle is a little less Christmas Cheer .. and a little more ... fucking balls (that's for you beausaphine ).    I had a final exam on my birthday…. It was bad…. Very bad….on the plus side? The TA’s are going to get a kick out of all the doodles I did on my scratch paper. My eye is swollen AGAIN… last week I had a stye on my lower eyelid… and now the inside of my top eyelid is swollen… I’m thinking my eye is trying to tell me I’m ready for vacation I’ve been fighting a cold for the past few weeks n

but oh......... maybe you like it... ew. gotta love Icanhascheezburger My daily commute consists of a five hour total commute to and from school…. And not only do I not get paid for this.. I’m PAYING for this privilege. The only benefit is at least I get an unlimited bus pass and don’t have to stress about the extra cost involved with the amount of travel I do. This is how my day typically goes.. Depending on the time of my class…. If it’s a late class.. I laze around in the morning.. enjoy a rerun of Charmed and a mocha.. a nice leisurely shower and then it’s off to the salt mines. If it’s the early class… I’m up at 5:20am and I end up spending pretty much my entire 2 and a half hours standing. Thankfully the commuter bus stop is right across the street from my house. C70 – Commuter Bus … this is a little dinky bus that resembles the “short” busses that we all remember from our high school days. img courtesy of riding the short bus Its purpose is

Kitty, I don’t need help to go to the bathroom. “meow?” Kitty, I’ve given you loves… what else do you want? “meow?” Are you hungry? Do you need water? (cleans and refills water dish. Gives kitty a treat) There… happy now? “meow?” Fuck you kitty. (putting on pants in the morning, notice that there is about a pound of cat hair on them) Kitty… I just brushed  you last night.. how is this possible? “meow?” Seriously… how can you have your winter coat.. ALL YEAR LONG? “meow?” I swear… I’m shaving you bald. Would you like that? “meow?” Nevermind. (walking down the hallway to the bathroom first thing in the morning, suddenly a black mass of fuzz comes zooming past almost knocking me over) Kitty… is it really necessary for you to beat me to the bathroom door? “meow?” No really… you almost killed me…. again. “meow?” Do you even feel sorry? “meow?” One of these days kitty, one of these days.

Welcome to this weeks…  I put some words together that hopefully make sense and are remotely funny. Tonight I am talking vagina. Now boys.. you don’t have to turn away.. don’t close the window… you could learn something. Probably not, but read anyway. And comment.. I love comments. They make me all squishy and happy and want to run around my house in my pjs high fiving the air and yelling “they love me, they really, really love me” /Jim Carrey moment. Back to the topic at hand… You ever thought about how much power you can wield with your vagina? And no I don’t mean like lifting heavy objects with it like it’s a crane. That would just be weird. Although I’m sure there is a guy out there somewhere reading this going.. “mmmmmmmmmmmm.. crane vagina” And now I’m creeped out. Back on topic… again. Vagina Power. What does it mean? What does it stand for? How does it work? Here are some examples. you like a guy and you’re pretty sure he wants to g

You ever notice how there are certain inane things that women understand that men just don't "get" ...now one could argue that it is simply cuz women are insane ... and so therefore in order to import order into our lives.. we create all these things that only we understand... which could be true.. but that is besides the point... our mistake however.. is assuming that men will understand them as well.... now some men ..for whatever reason are in tune to these things.. and "get" them... (and no I'm not just talking about the gay men)..  One of these things is our rationalization in regards to food... as women we are always concerned with what we are putting into our bodies.. even if we don't exercise regularly or even generally eat healthy.. we still are always thinking in the back deep recesses of our brains ... how "bad" a certain food is.. or how "good" another food is... for example.. fruit is good.. it's healthy.. the fact th

first off.. I want to welcome my new readers! Thanks so much for reading and hopefully you'll continue to read and enjoy my blog. I love you all so much... just want to SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE you all. but not too much, cuz I'm not a serial killer. I promise. ok... so this week I'm too stressed out from midterms and studying, but I still want to bring you some new shit... so I'm going to do something really rad. wait for it........ wait for it.................. ok, I got nothing. just kidding! ... since the invention of the internet there have been YouTube videos. I think. I'm not quite sure, since the whole inception of the internet has been quite debated and at this point I don't really care. Regardless... the internet is rad and so are YouTube videos. So I'm going to share with you some of my favorite videos that make me pee my pants a little, no matter how many times I've seen them. BRING IT ON! DISCLAIMER - most of these videos are

Dear Vagina, Thanks for being such a trooper this month. I finally know what it means to have a happy period. Dear Jaime, Don’t thank me… thank the hormones. They’ve been AWOL for a while now. Dear Vagina, What? Where did they go? Dear Jaime, They’ve been recruited to deal with all the extra stress you’ve been going through lately. You just need to chill the fuck out. Dear Vagina, Well, if it helps me have awesome months like this… I’ll be glad to stay stressed out 24/7 Dear Jaime, Well that’s all fine and dandy… but don’t blame me when you die early of a heart attack or sudden embolism. Dear Vagina, You’re kind of a snide bitch, you know that? Dear Jaime, I am, so you don’t have to be. Dear Jaime, Hey… you wanna work on some vaginascaping.. I’m feeling a little neglected down here. You aren’t going to get any play looking like a wookie, ya know. Dear Vagina, In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been a little busy with school a

I totally fucking forgot to write about myself yesterday when I was given a blog award... (read about it here ). SO ... I'm supposed to talk about myself. well... shit. OK then... if I have to do this, you're coming along with me... no... don't try to run away now.. I've got you in my clutches. mwah ha ha ha ha ok so pay attention.. you'll be tested on it later (sidenote: my dad used to say that ALL the time when I was a kid and I just remembered.. what a pleasant memory.. I remember him always saying that about random things, but there was never any test.. I love my dad) Welllllllllllll.... I'm a chemistry student at the University of British Columbia but this is actually the first time I'm studying post secondary education in my home country.. .I've done all my other post secondary education in the US. I am TERRIFIED of bugs... like.. all kinds of bugs.. I may have even tried jumping out of a moving vehicle one time when a bug la

so ... I'm SUPER excited to announce two things.... the first being my blog has over 2000 total views!!! This is pretty exciting for me considering I'm not sure why you people even read my horrible grammar and random thoughts... but for all that do.. thank you so much! You all make me feel like I'm not alone... and not just in the squishy heart three times its size kind of way... also in the "I love bacon so much I could eat it every day" kind of way... which is equally important, IMO. Second... the awesome spork queen of tazerwarriorprincess nominated me for a Versatile Blogger Award... now I've never won a blog award... so this kind of makes me want to scream.. out loud... but I can't cuz the kidlet is sleeping... so I'll meep. *meep* ok... moving on. Thanks SO much tazer... not only are you as funny as a video of a guy getting hit in the balls (come on.. even guys laugh at this shit)... but you also share my love for animals, goofy photogra

this weeks theme from Cheesy Bloggers is PETS ! I LOVE animals... like seriously.. I love animals.. I've always loved animals.. ever since I can remember I've had an affinity for animals... When I was a kid my imaginary family even had pets.... beware of the horse, he bites. Then as I got older, I would go over to peoples houses and they would have a dog and they'd say, "oh... don't pet my dog, he's kind of mean" and two seconds later that same dog would be rolling on it's back with me rubbing its belly. I don't know why.. I just seem to have this way with animals. I even volunteered at the local SPCA when I was younger cuz I loved being around animals. At one time in college I thought about being a vet... but then I realized that I love animals more than I love people.. and I don't think I could put an animal down.. even if I knew it was what needed to be done. I got my first pet when I was 5... she was a purebred siamese kitten.. I cal

it hurts, mmm'kay 125 , a photo by jselizabeth on Flickr. so this weekend I've been totally incapacitated by a migraine .. so I didn't do any homework, housework... or anything at all really... I actually napped most of yesterday in between bouts of sobbing in utter agony. It's so hard to even rest when your brain is pounding in your ears... even as I type this I can feel it wanting to return... just tapping on the back of my forehead like, "hey dude, I'm here to render you unable to do anything but lay down on the couch and be pathetic for the next 12 hours" but anyhow.. this is supposed to be a Silent Sunday post... so here it is... in all it's fally goodness.

First off... I know I’ve been really sporadic with my posts and also I haven’t kept up with my Thursday Tunes or Things I Love Fridays…. You may not have noticed if you actually have a life... but whatever. I’ve been super busy with school, stress, family and a little bit of everything else. Plus I think chemistry has sucked out all my brain power, leaving barely enough left to form coherent thought let alone write a blog post. I have been posting on the Silent Sundays but that’s only because it doesn’t require a lot of effort other than linking the picture from my flickr account and writing a sentence or two about it. YAY for low amount of effort! Anyhow… onto today’s subject……… FASHION! Now I am going to preface this post by saying that I really don’t know SHIT about fashion. My daily routine consists of a pair of flared dark wash jeans, white puma’s, a tank top (various colors for variety) and a yoga hoodie. Occasionally I switch it up with a collegiate sweater…. Or possibly a

Picture 005 , a photo by jselizabeth on Flickr. this isn't a photo from the past week.. but from a few years ago... oceans make me think of peace.. and my mum.... I really hope she's at peace.

So…. It’s Tuesday and that means it’s………….. brought to you by Motherhood Truth! For this week’s zombie discussion, I’d like to get real about zombie’s and the approaching zombie apocalypse. Ask yourself this… do you realistically see yourself surviving? Forget all your ass kicking fantasies and everything you have learned from zombie movies.   Cuz I’m gonna break it down for you in regards to my chances for survival …and how if things were to go AWOL right now… I don’t know that I’d survive. I was thinking about this on the bus this morning, as I pondered whether the rider in the seat in front of me was a zombie........... Hey… it’s not my fault… he had red rimmed eyes and every time he looked my way, he had this glassy “haunted” look about him….. and yes I realize it was 6:15 in the morning and it’s quite possible to explain this phenomenon by lack of sleep and coffee… but whatever… take that logic out of here.. he was a zombie, I know it! Anyhow…. So I was

this week in Cheesy Bloggers .. it's all about cleaning up your act. below is how I feel about chores....... Every week it’s the same thing…. You can’t deny it. You can’t avoid it… It always seems to sneak up on you … and before you know it … you’re standing face to face with………….. A DIRTY BATHROOM!!! Dirty bathrooms are the bain of my existence…. Mostly because no matter what you do … they are ALWAYS dirty… even right after you clean them, they are dirty again the first time someone uses the toilet, sink, and tub… whatever. If you have kids in your house… especially boy kids ..or live with boys (or a man, which.. let’s be honest.. are really like boys in respect to the bathroom)… then you probably have pee on your toilet somewhere other than on the INSIDE of the toilet. This is one of the grossest things I’ve ever experienced… it’s just so wrong. As a girl growing up in a household mostly comprised of girls the toilet was always clean… cuz girls ar

So it’s midterms…  and so I’m a little agitated.. you can’t tell can you? But seriously…. I am wicked stressed. Add to that.. the fact that I typed a whole fucking blog post in blogger and clicked something and it all went *poof*… like a fucking genie.. except less awesome cuz there was no wishing involved. So now I have to remember what the fuck I was writing about. I know I wrote a bunch of shit about things I was pissed off about… and considering I’m now especially pissed off…. It just makes logical sense. Fucking blogger… aren’t you supposed to auotsave  that shit.. didn’t you used to anyway? wtf is up with that shit.. this is the 2 nd time you’ve gone all nazi on me and nuked my shit without even giving me the option first… my blog post just disappears into some nether world… probably a world where kittens and puppies are slayed. So now I’m typing this on MS Word 2010 … so there…. Take THAT blogger. Budgers… ok.. so I know we all learned how to form

so everybody loves a good zombie movie.... well... everyone who doesn't get scared or grossed out by people biting chunks of other peoples necks or trying to eat their brains... but this blog isn't for THOSE people.. those weird, strange, unusual people.... it's for the rad, awesome, fun, cool people like ME who LOVE zombie movies! I love them SO much... that I'm willing to review my top 5 zombie movies... just for you! Yes, I'm taking time out of my busy schedule to do something nice for you. You can thank me now. It's ok, I'll wait. .... .... ok.... so onto the list... now this list is in NO particular order. Partly cuz I'm indecisive... and partly cuz I'm lazy as fuck and can't be bothered to add that one tiny detail. Dawn of the Dead (1978) This movie is simply classic .. it embodies all the greatness that is zombie movies. Gore, violence and a high death ratio.... all of which this movie has in spades. It's before th
