FEELING: Overworked and overwhelmed. I just got back from a school break and right away it’s back to the grind in a big way! I’m worried about next year still, but after the emotional roller coaster of this school year, I feel like I can handle anything that gets thrown my way. This year has…

5 Fandom Friday: I Shall Name You…
This was a fun prompt to think about! There are so many awesome names out there that I had a hard time culling the list down to just five! I can’t wait to see everyone else’s answers! I got a little fancy and picked two people-names, an animal name, a wireless network name (the most…

5 Fandom Friday: Songs That Changed My Life
I had to think really hard about this prompt, because music is such a huge part of my life! It’s hard to pick those benchmark songs that mean the most, so sticking to theme, I’m picking the songs that marked a change in course, or really made me someone new. Literally, changed my life! I…

Strawberry Fields Forever
My favourite December tradition is to go to Strawberry Fields on December 8th and sing around the Imagine mosaic. This year’s crowd was as chill as the weather and I barely noticed that I spent nearly two hours outside in the cold singing allllll the hits, up to and including the entire B-side of Abbey…

5 Fandom Friday: Troll the Ancient Yuletide Carol
Hello, Nerdy Girlies! Hope you’re trimming your trees with tiny spaceships and Tetris pieces and jammin’ out to your favourite Christmas tunes! I can’t wait 1.

#tbt The Gothic Renaissance
Kids say the darnedest things. I’m in my second week working at the school and already I’ve heard some amazing and truly terrifying conversation happening around me. But perhaps the funniest thing came from one of my students who, upon noticing my predilection for dressing all in black and my fondness for skulls, recently asked…

FEELING: Dotty and dopey and dripping with dandyness! Sunny days are here at last and I’m making the most of it, stretching my legs on the sidewalks and giving flight to my fancies. I’m taking strolls and seeing sights so sweet it’s like my heart could burst. WATCHING: Monday Night is still Hulu night as…

FEELING: Overwhelmed and charmless. I’m so tired of dealing with people. People are stupid and aggravating! I just want to be quiet and keep to myself. I’m also exhausted and have a great, hacking cough that I can’t seem to shake. WATCHING: Just as RuPaul’s Drag Race is winding down, a new season of Louie…

I’m trying to let go of a lot of my control issues, enjoy just “being”, and not worrying. WATCHING: I just discovered Breaking Amish – talk about gripping! I’m also enjoying the animated…

New Things
So this isn’t so much all NEW things. I would call this list “Something old, something new, something borrowed” because the something blue is ME! Winter keeps dragging on with no end in sight and I am SICK OF IT. So here’s what I’m using to get through: SOMETHING OLD: I have become re-addicted to…

Not For Typical Girls
If you have an hour and a half to kill watching some amazing rock and roll documentary, may I suggest this one? [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVEsta-GPso?rel=0] Last year, it seemed as though punk was all the rage, with the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit at the Met, and all the imitators. What I love about punk is…

3 AM
I don’t know if it’s stress, or neighbors, or some weird biological fault of mine, but for the past few weeks as far back as I can remember, I have been waking up at 3am every morning. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-Naa1HXeDQ?rel=0] Oh, I must be lonely. That must be it. And when I say “awake,” I mean…
