I'll Try Harder

About Me

I am a small-town girl from Alberta. I go to McGill University in Montreal. I started in Chemical Engineering and I am now in Arts majoring in Philosophy and double minoring in World Religions and Sociology. I have always wanted to go into Law, probably Corporate and then Human Rights. I want to change my world. Please don't underestimate the seriousness of that goal, and I'm always looking for people with the same mindset! I don't think whether or not God exists is an answerable question. I like Taoism's ideal of letting things be, because it's a weakness of mine. I voted Green Party in the last election because it seemed to be the least of all evils. My life revolves around school and I focus on my family. My closest girl friends mean the world to me! I'm a music junkie and love finding new stuff. I have six piercings and one tattoo. I am a vegetarian, former vegan. I love travel, expensive restaurants and pasta! I have an obsession with men's hands, a foot phobia and I wish I were a cat.
I've been kind of tired lately. I've been not myself. I'm feeling like I should be putting in so much more than what I put in. The wife, the kids are starting to get in the way of the important things like cars, like cars, like customers... Just keep smiling and I'll try harder, I'll try harder, I'll try harder, I'll try harder, I'll try harder, I'll try harder, I'll try harder, I'll try hard. Is this a joke? I'm not laughing, I'm not trying to be difficult, cause a scene. I dress real good, I talk real good, I act exactly like I should, just like you taught me, like I'm part of something bigger, more fulfilling, more worthwhile than anything left in my life.

Papers

The world looks different when you're not in love.  It's more mechanical, people run around like ants, and not even my headphones can block out the ka-ching of money exchanging hands in the mall....

Avalanche

When I lived in Alberta, whenever I was stressed, worried, tense or just needed to think, I would hop in my car, put the top down, blast the music and go for a drive.  It was like going so fast i...

A Really Good Day

I have had the greatest day. In the metro, there is usually someone playing guitar for change.  Some of them can get a little crazy or just be really bad.  Today a short fat man who reminded...
