International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

Happening March 21, 2010.

I remember last year how intense the rallying was in downtown Calgary. It made me feel so many things at once. Probably one of the biggest adrenaline rushes I've ever experienced.

It makes me angry how ignorant people can allow themselves to be.
It makes me afraid that people feel the need to cover their faces to protect their lives from harm in the future.
It makes me proud of the crowd that comes to support unity in any way shape or form.

I was looking through random Google photos of the event trying to find the Calgary Sun cover that had the side of my sweater in it, as well as photos of the event and look what I stumbled upon:

Could I be more interested?

I think this year I will go down again. Zoe just told me that we might have a bit of Jew in us? Random. It's refreshing to see people be so passionate about something that MATTERS. Police have to protect these bigots- can't wait until Karma finds each and every one of you...

In other news...
Moving has begun. Can't wait to be done.

I need to find a doctor as soon as possible. After the incident on Saturday I need to find out what happened to me. I spoke with quite a few people about the details, and considering the chances of me being drugged are about 1 in a million, it seems as though I might have had a seizure without being extremely tense in appearance (which is apparently really common), and the side effects of what happened after were a result of the fact that I had consumed alcohol mixed with extreme fatigue.

Here's hoping it never happens again. Thank you everyone who took care of me...

My conch piercing hurts.

That is all.

Speak

My abs hurt enough to break off from the rest of my body.
Pole level 3 is so intense. I'm thinking with the higher ceilings I'll be able to post a video soon.
This has been muchos procrastinated, and believe it or NOT my Mom is the one asking for videos the most.. odd.

In addition to the "just for fun" aspect, I have a list of requests I am to fulfill sooner, rather than later. Feel free to add to this request pattern.. unless you're Megan. You only get one. The one's I'm currently working on -

1. Pole tribute to Michael Jackson - Kristin
2. Pole tribute to Lady Gaga - MD

Don't expect this any sooner than the 20th..

In other news...

Poppy is well, so glad the surgery went as planned. School is well. Moving will be well.
Jodie is in town this weekend, can't wait to see that little brat. And I honestly think I'm more excited to HEAR her, than see her. Especially when she's drunk.

She's become a bit of a "inside joke" in my class... (that sounds bad, let me explain)
Obviously we massage each other a lot, and some techniques are invasive and painful, etc..
So when someone says "It hurts..", it's often followed by someone saying "..it reallyyyy does." in a British accent...

I think I should post said video, for those who may not understand.
And then I should post myself in Texas, laughing the same way, almost 3 years previous.

Ramble ramble ramble...

I wish you could buy butterflies

Sometimes I wish our lives were video documented.
Even if in silence.

Everyone could have a library in their basement, and a rusty old player to watch memories on, right there. I wonder what parts of my life I would re-watch.

Perhaps driving away from Cemetery Hill
Perhaps driving down Granville.
Perhaps walking past Mac's at 8th.
Perhaps climbing the fence beside 52nd at 2am
Perhaps looking out my Gr. 8 classroom window towards the empty walkway
Perhaps every memory before that

I wonder what the world would be like then.
I wonder if we'd have less to lie about, and less to regret.
Even if temporarily.

Just a thought.

Dear Peter,

I'm over here. Still being ugly.

Love, Wendy

Messages in a Bottle

1. I'm going to be there for you, and I'm sorry I didn't take what you said more seriously. Get the help you need. So many people love you.

2. I really want to be proud of you, I wonder if that will ever happen. It feels really disheartening to make the same mistake over and over, you'll get it. I know it.

3. You are more than your body. Than your face. Than your past. ( - + - )

4. I miss you..

Dear Negatives

Please stop whining.
I feel so on top of the world. Why? Because I bring myself to that place, or I bring people into my life who have that influence.
Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean you can change it.
End of story.

Where Am I

Midterms are over, phew, and now I'm sick. Lovely.

Currently looking for a new place to live.

Honestly, only 2 months in, I'm really looking forward to school being done so I can take MORE courses to get where I want to be. I'm realizing that the written work of massage therapy will prove to be the most important. Taking all of these intense courses and building them into a career.

If I ever plan to get to B.C and survive there, I won't be an RMT. I'd be called a "body mover". No thanks. Oh life, where will you take me next?

Carly and Poppy just had birthdays. 23, 83. I love you both, so much.

Pole Level 3, begins Tuesday. I think it's about time I post something I've accomplished. The degree of difficulty is about to go sky high - exactly like my body will. I'll take some pictures soon. The human body is amazing, inside and out. I learn this more everyday.

I hope things settle down for you soon, Peter. They always do. Go clean.

Enjoy your vacation; grow grow grow grow grow.

Un - Easy

I wonder what it is brewing inside.
Would enjoy a sign.
Not a blind side.

My Calling

Oh hey! Look what I learned to do last night:

Pretty stoked on it. Not so stoked how much my inner thighs hurt, but it's worth it.
