About Me

I just returned from living on the Gold Coast in Australia for the past year. I scooped gelati, lived across from the beach and went to University...in that order. My feet are the only part of my body that tans. I missed riding on the TTC in Toronto. I love French toast. I have to smell everything. I make a funny sound when I yawn. Jon was my favourite New Kid on the Block. Rye & Ginger is my drink of choice. I love wrapping gifts more than I like unwrapping them. I wish I spoke three languages. I love snow. I’m a chocoholic. I hate spicy food. I like a nice set of sideburns, on a guy not a girl. I love reading the ‘Special Thanks’ section of a CD cover. I’m really good at dodgeball. I hate using blow dryers. I can sleep on any moving vehicle at anytime for any distance. I come from a large Italian family, a good portion of whom live on the same street. I rarely ever pay more than $15 to see amazing live music. Poo jokes make me laugh. Halloween is my favourite holiday. I've been to the Yukon in December. I wish I could play the guitar but I'm pretty awesome at air drums. I love my black stilettos and Converse high tops equally. I like to end a story with ‘…and the killer is…’. I love Redbull for the taste. I collect vintage purses. My mom wanted to name me Mariah. Sometimes when I laugh really hard I drool a little.

Magic

Yesterday at work some lady asked me if the ice-cream we sold was the kind that didn't melt. I looked at her for a solid 5 seconds before attempting to answer. What's worse than being dumb? Dumber?...

Free samples

Yesterday at work when I asked a guy if he wanted a taste he replied "what time?". Gross.

Dumb question part II

I've decided that this will be an on-going topic since I come across so many dumb questions at work. Today some woman asked me - if she got a waffle cone, would she be allowed to choose her own flavou...

Stylin'

Who would have thought I would get so much attention going out after work wearing a cap, white t-shirt, and pants from KMart? And all these years to think I've actually cared about what I look like......

There is such thing as a dumb question

I'm working in a gelato shop in a place called Surfers Paradise - not exactly the most stressful job.  Someone asked me the other day if we bake the ice-cream to make it look so good? Dumb....
