Not bad for 26
First cavity at 26 years old. (Small one too - a "spot cavity," er, or something.) Not too shabby, if I do say so myself!

I don't understand some people's values
"Women often lose sensation in their nipples after breast enlargement surgery. They would rather look sexy than feel sexual pleasure."

Whoa!
I just found out about a second person who has read my blog whom I hadn't told directly that I have a blog... This is really cool. Both people were able to find out stuff about what's going on with me. (Coincidentally, both brought it up in context about the Slam I did.) I guess this web stuff really works, huh? I wonder if this newfangled Internet thing will ever catch on... *pensive face*
I've mostly fixed up them poetry pages and the blog format now. Still tweaking, but, hey, these things are (or can be) eternal projects. At least they're usable(ish) (and readable!) now.

Guess What?
I made a new format for my poetry pages and also posted two new ones. The navigation needs to be fixed on the new format but otherwise... enjoy. :)
Someday I will fix the format of my blog too. I will indeed.

:(
It's too bad I'm too sick to enjoy the rain of Vancouverites. I had to cancel on Vicki and Hooper yesterday (well, they weren't feeling too hot either, so I guess it worked out), and hope I do not have to cancel on Diana as well. :(
I hate being sick. This bites!!!

It's Raining Van
Wow! It's raining Vancouverites! Where did all these Vancouverites come from??
From last Wednesday until tonight there was Ron and his girlfriend. Tonight there is Vicki and Hooper. From Wednesday night until Sunday there is Diana. Not to mention last month there was Rowan and T.Paul, and in another couple of months there may be Margaret.
What's wrong with this picture?.............
It should be raining more with Vancouverites! ;)

Oh my god
"Do you not just love Afro Ken? Sure you do…especially because he is so colorful and cute."
Oh. My. God. .....but wait, there's more. Also comes in cherry tree variety...........
*Shaking head* What were the marketing geniuses thinking behind this one? Who are they appealing to?
Today's weird and wacky finding comes to you courtesy of another weird and wacky finding, the Hello Kitty vibrator (must be 18 years old to enter), that a friend and I found one fateful day...

WARNING TO POETS
http://windpub.org/literary.scams/ilp.htm
"Is the following poem worthy of consideration for a national prize?
My Cat Has Fleas
My cat is chewing on her butt;
It makes me think she is a nut.
I try to drown the fleas in spray;
They jump and shout and just yell "Hey!"
I try to drown the fleas in powder;
they eat it like it's fine clam chowder.
I try to drown the fleas in gas;
that really burned my kitty's ass.
"Yep. The NLP picked this poem as a national semifinalist in their free poetry contest. Click here for details. And you can have your very own semi-finalist poem published in a handsome book of similar, excellent poems for only $49.99."
"The International Library of Poetry is one of several organizations of poor repute associated with the National Library of Poetry and operating under the internet domains poetry.com and poets.com. In recent months this organization has deemphasized the National Library of Poetry name in favor of the 'International' designation.
"Serious poets consider the International Library of Poetry contests and their affiliated organizations to be unethical, and their free poetry contests a scam designed for no other purpose than to prey upon trusting and unwary amateur poets by relieving them of their money."
Do I look stupid?

Revelation
It's not just about passion, it's about an inner light.
Like when C talks about architecture and the structures of things, or when P sings in Spanish (or talks of Spain or of his artistic endeavours), or when S even so much as thinks about rock climbing (or whatever his current passion is), or when A or SR rant about politics, get animated, get lost in their worlds.
Their inner lights shine through their eyes, and I am sucked in. Feel so close. Want more.

Scene from the Cottage
Day 2 (of 4) at Josh's cottage. Jill stumbles out of bed at around 11:30am. Josh is sitting at the kitchen table, reading the paper.
Josh: Do you realize what time it is?
Jill: (rubbing her eyes) Well, at least it's still morning.
Josh: (in his best cheesy sci-fi deep movie voice) It's the year 2005.
Josh proceeds to tell Jill for the next 10 minutes, continuing in the same voice, all the changes that have occurred while she was asleep. Apparently the world changes an awful lot in 3 years. You'd think I was asleep for a century or something. Yeesh.

Poor Mr. Bear
More from the world of Jill's Abyss of Surreal Friendships:
"If it's me or Mr. Bear, then Mr. Bear is going to the Happy Bum Scratching Forest in the Sky, not me."

Slam!
I was quite excited about competing in a poetry slam competition tonight. I didn't do too badly either. Scores aside, my personal rating is the first piece didn't go amazingly, and the second one did. (Two rounds of competition.) Sadly, I guess the judges didn't see it that way. Not only did I not win, I didn't make it into the final round. *scowly face* I think I came close to making it.... I think I probably came in 6th or so, and it was the top 5 that made it into the final round.
It was fun though. I love high-energy performance readings, and this was the first high-energy performance reading I've seen in Toronto. It was a good time. Also, some of my friends whom I really really wanted to see me perform made it out tonight. Woo! (You know who you are--*waves*)
Oh, and I got asked to be a feature at two shows. So really..... it's like I won. Heh. :)
