My first WordPress meetup!
I have been working with WordPress (an open source website platform) for years and I’ve been wanting to get more involved with the development community for most of that time. Today, I was able to join a WordPress meetup to discuss some upcoming changes in the platform with other WordPress folks. It was a blast! […]

Just a thought.
The way you think about yourself determines your reality. You are not being hurt by the way people think about you. Many of those people are a reflection of how you think about yourself. —Shannon L. Alder Someone in my life is currently in a lot of pain. They can’t see anything clearly. They need […]

Still with the headache.
I still have that headache. It’s been with me all day, so I’ve just been in bed. Yay! I’m catching up on Orange is the New Black and watching YouTube videos in between napping on and off. I’ve been on a Vsauce kick after watching Vox interviews and listening to arguments about climate change. Very […]

Oh my goodness!!
I just finished Game of Thrones!! It was the premier of the new season and oh my goodness, stuff is happening! Can’t wait until next week for episode two! I also have the worst headache. Like, nothing is helping it. Today’s been a fabulous day with swimming, ice cream sundaes, and flip flops. I’m so […]

Let’s go with apathetic.
The other day I was trying to put words to my feelings. What I came up with was very, very close to capturing what was, and still is, in my head. But today, another word popped into my head. Apathetic. That also captures my mood/feelings nicely. I’m kind of lacking that spark, you know? Like, […]

Obligatory daily post.
I have a headache and I can’t look at a screen right now. So this will be it for now. Keep on smiling! DFTBA! M3

My mantra.
Okay, just after I typed out ‘mantra’ I thought of the word ‘katra’, which is the living spirit of a Vulcan from Star Trek. Just a little side note there. Mantras can be helpful things. I’m talking about those sayings that you repeat to yourself that help you focus on something. Repeating a mantra every […]

Wah…
I wanted to finish writing one of the posts I drafted a few days ago, but it’s now late and I am really tired. One of my uncles is in the area, so Mom, Rebeckah, and I will be meeting him first thing in the morning! I’m really excited about that! 😀 After that, we’ll […]

My number one enemy.
Good news, friends! Today I have discovered my new top enemy. No, no… Calm down. It’s not me. We already knew that my true enemy is myself. That’s not news. To be honest, this discovery isn’t that surprising. I’ve known about it for a while. But today, the danger posed by this enemy has become more […]

Meeting new people
I have been in Vancouver for a few weeks now, but I haven’t done too much socializing outside of my family’s friends. Meeting new people is a big deal for me. I can do it, and I’m really good at socializing, but it’s scary. I know I’m not alone in that fear. Many people also […]

I’m still hungry…
SOC (Stream of consciousness)—So, today I’ve eaten a great amount of food, yet I’m still very hungry. Mom made a large breakfast consisting of eggs, guacamole, toast, hash browns, and a really punchy smoothie. All very yummers! I really enjoyed it. Then we drove up the coast to Whistler for a change of scenery. It’s […]

This is a title
This is the text of a post I have written. Does that makes this post self aware? And if so, does that make it sentient? It’s kind of a weird thought. I imagine this post coming alive and being some kind of mutant being that roams the Earth looking for love but being incapable because […]

Dear driver of the white Honda CR-V on the Coquihalla this afternoon
Three things. First, there’s this nifty little feature on cars that all the kids are using these days. It’s called a turning signal. You use it to communicate with other drivers! (Crazy, I know!) Gonna change a lane? Let others know by using the turning signal so they can help you get where you want […]

Just an update tonight.
Today was an incredibly busy day. A friend needed help moving, and the people who were going to help them bailed last minute. So I stepped up. We’re both really, really tired now. But it’s been a good day, mostly because we’ve gotten to hang out and chat while working hard on one of the […]

I have a disease.
I was getting ready for to go sledding at the landslide, which meant that I had to first locate my ski pants. Every year around Christmas, our family has a sledding party with a bunch of friends. We’d grab our plastic sleds, our crazy carpets, and our single GT snow racer to have some fun […]

I didn’t go on a walk today…
… I disappoint myself. Tomorrow I will go outside. I’ll also start writing a series of blog posts about my Crohn’s and health issues. Over the past several months, I’ve been considering documenting and sharing my health journey properly. Partly for my sake to help me on that journey, but also to highlight issues that […]

Up and Down
People often characterize the crazy things happening to or around them as a roller coaster and in so doing, imply that it’s really hard and full of ups and downs. But aren’t roller coasters supposed to be fun? Like, yeah they’re scary and if you’re afraid of heights they’re maybe not the best idea, but […]

O Canada

Now how aboot we hop onto a moose, head off to the igloo, and fulfill some stereotypes, eh? It’s so cold out here! Let’s […]

Don’t read this.
Please. I’m being completely serious here. Don’t read this. You probably want to keep reading now, right? But you’ll probably pretend that you didn’t. Perhaps you tell yourself that you’ll just “gloss over the rest” instead of actually reading everything. Just please, I ask you to stop reading. If I were to actually ask you […]
