birthday activities:
--20 shots of white wine from a box, to start off the night right. And by right I mean quease-inducingly.
--heading to Shooter's, Jennie's bar, to dance and drink and ward off drunken come-ons by pretending I saw Paris Hilton across the room.
--running to three other bars to run in, dance, and leave again
activities since I've been in Surfer's, in no particular order:
--chasing down the elusive rare Alcatel 100 phone charger, which no-one seems to want or have.
--eating couscous, soy-linseed bread sandwiches, and muesli, and the odd cup of gelato
--swimming, tanning, swimming, tanning
--working out in the 'bark yard' made of Astro Turf to an old Black Eyed Peas album (before they sold out completely)
--having tea at the coffeehouse with Jennie and Bessie
--swimming, tanning, swimming, tanning
--phoning
--trying to avoid buying things
--appreciating neon and the kind of fashion that comes straight from the mall
--reading "Pigs In Heaven" and old copies of The Economist stained with spilled alcohol
As you can see, it's been quite a stressful time here.
Tomorrow I get on the bus and head to Townsville, where I will hang out with Jacky and the kids she takes care of. I am looking forward to this.

the human behind the bean
I'm a 27 year old Canadian woman. I grew up on Cape Breton Island, although my parents and their families are from Quebec and Ohio. Currently I live in Cape Breton, in a small town by the Bras D'Or Lake.
I can make a good soup and tie my own shoes. I've worked as a nanny, a potter's assistant, a shop clerk, and a janitor. I've also worked in a library, and taught computers to seniors. I've travelled to Australia and New Zealand and across Canada by train. I spent two and a half years in university before I left. I like the way the air smells in the Fall.
Since 2002 - this is my blog, a place for me to write about life, what I experience, to share my photography and my writing. I'm glad you're here!
