Six weird things about me

1. Every night I pee before I brush my teeth and wash my face. Then I pee again. Sometimes I'll empty the last trickles from my bladder three or four times before I go to bed. (This habit could date back to the barbaric kid's camp I went to where all the kids had to bring ice cream buckets to make sure we had something to pee in if we woke up in the middle of the night. Seriously. There were perfectly good bathrooms, but we weren't allowed to wake our counsillors up to ask them to take us. And we certainly weren't allowed to go anywhere by ourselves in the dark.)

2. I have such gangly, long toes that I've thought, albeit fleetingly, about getting plastic surgery on them.

3. I turned down an internship with CBC radio last year to spend the summer unemployed, painting and enjoying the sun. And I loved every second of it.

4. I once got broken up with in a text message. Classy guy, huh?

5. When I sugar my armpits, I feel strangely satisfied not only with the new smooth patches but also with amount of pain I know I can tolerate.

6. I've stopped liking money. I feel selfish even having it. Once my student loan is taken care of, so a year from now, I want to become a wild-haired, barefoot woman doing some kind of volunteer work in a jungle far far away.

1) rather graphic.

2) frankentoes: avoid sandals. closed toe mules or slingbacks in summer. avoid bright polish.

3) amen, sister.

4) didja swallow? that might explain it.

5) the deeper the pain carves into your soul the more joy it can contain.

6) silly. guilt is such a waste of energy, it's a learned response to success not a natural one.

money rocks, it's just another form of power, and like all power, it's how you use it that is important. glinda and the wicked witch of the west were really sisters remember? same power, different application.

pride is only deadly when accompanied by arrogance and ignorance.

poverty is cool if you need it to teach you to appreciate your blessings, but, regardless, get thee to the jungle. africa, actually, is where they need all hands on deck this decade.

and when you get sick of the misery and suffering, the beaches in south africa are unsurpassed.
