Class Act

THIS makes me proud to say that I'm a Leaf fan. No matter what the outcome turned out to be, we still gave Sundin the standing ovation he deserves.

This was one of my favourite hockey games this season.

WHY? WHY? WHY?!!

(I still can't believe I actually Googled Miley Cyrus)


Well, this is officially my rant of the week.

I DO NOT, and WILL NOT understand why kids these days think it is cool to grow up a lot faster. I miss the days when we would play tag (you're it!) and soccer-baseball at recess. I miss my childhood, and feeling a sense of controlled freedom to play, laugh and dream.

Where the hell did that go?

I was incredibly creeped out and disturbed when I read that a boy in England fathered a baby at the age of 13... 13! When I was 13, I had an active account on Neopets, I read tweeny books, and I sure as hell weren't making babies!!

It saddens me to know that more and more kids are jumping on this bandwagon, and are acting like they are 10 years older than they actually are.

The bottom line is: I am disgusted, and it makes no sense to me.

God... Buddha...

Please pray for me.

A Conversation With My Dad.

This happened about 10 minutes ago...

Dad: So why did Kim go downtown today?
Me: She's having lunch with Ollie.
Dad: Why?
Me: She's going to meet Ollie's girlfriend.
Dad: *Confused face*
Me: She never met Ollie's girlfriend before...
Dad: Girlfriend?
Me: Yeah.
Dad: Does your sister have a boyfriend?
Me: No!
Dad: On the internet?
Me: No!
Dad: Why hasn't she met her before if she is her friend?
Me: No... *feels defeated* It's Ollie's GIRLFRIEND. My sister never met her before... Ollie is introducing his girlfriend to my sister.
Dad: *Blank stare*
*I give up, and leave the room*

I Heart Poladroid

I was watching "The After Show" yesterday, and Dan mentioned his love for Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP, and then revealed his own version called, DOOP.
For his first newsletter post, he posted up a link to Polardroid. Polardroid creates the dreamy, lomo style of polaroids for digital photos. I did a couple, and I thought they look pretty cool and authentic.

"The District" Looks More Realistic Than "The City."

I have to give kudos to Newsweek for making this silly little gem.
