Welcome, and step inside my blog. I'm a 26-year-old Canadian lass with a penchant for fitness, writing, Tori Amos, Beck, REM, all things Simpsons, cats, bad soap operas, poetry, my honeybee Eric, food, coffee, wine, women's issues and that crazy little thing called the interweb. I believe in synchronicity. I work at a gym but have a pot belly (more on that later), and intend to make my living as a writer some sweet sunny day. I am sitting in my salvage chair (bequeathed by a previous tenant) in my room in a three-bedroom townhouse in quasi-suburbia, Gemma in a bundle on my lap. Clem, my other hairy little cat-child, is doubtless peeing on the carpet, as has been his tendency of late.

And today is oh so delicious, because I don't work today or tomorrow and the world, oh the world is my oyster. The View just came on - what a surprise, it's the Star "Bridezilla" Jones bridal update! Mr Mute Button fixes her hash. Bye-bye pie hole!
