I've talked about Wong Fu Productions before in a Weeklies post. They have been doing short films and videos for longer than YouTube has existed. I first found their channel way back in 2008 and they have consistently delivered quality entertainment. Now they're moving on to bigger things: their first feature film. I liked it. Wong … Continue reading Everything Before Us
Wayyyyy back in one of my earliest blog posts, I said I wouldn't know for sure if I'd keep up this blogging thing until six months have passed. Well lo and behold, the six month mark was passed a few days ago and I'm still here! I guess that means I'm sticking around for a … Continue reading The Six-Month Mark
I've noticed that when I'm really excited about what I'm writing and it no longer feels like work, I get more writing done. For example, today I finished the first draft of Book 3, began the first draft of Book 4, and typed up over four thousand words. I guess it's been a pretty big … Continue reading Milestone
My family on my mom's side is really big. My grandparents had twelve kids, twenty-eight grandkids, and two great-grandkids (and counting!). Pretty much all my cousins on my mom's side are frickin' straight-A perfect people. On top of that, I have a bunch of cousins with black belts in tae kwon do, gym regulars, track-team stars, hockey … Continue reading Support

My schedule goes a bit haywire during breaks from school. There's no regular schedule anymore, so on a day like today I'll just stay home and play computer games with messy hair and glasses and tomorrow I'll have a dentist appointment, catch up over coffee with an old high school teacher, and then go to … Continue reading Updates That Came To Mind
I thought it might be nice to have all the outfits I wore in Paris in one place, so that's what this is. I'd love to hear about your favourites in the comments below! Some pieces you might see repeatedly are the white shoulder bag which I got at a shop called Miss Coquines in … Continue reading Outfits in Paris
It can be the most awkward thing running into someone from high school who you don't really know well enough to say hi to. That happened today as I was window shopping while waiting for my dog Foxy to receive her annual grooming. She came out of it looking like a big pom-pom, like the … Continue reading Everything
Previously, on My Room... Last August, I was presented with a new bedroom and the challenge of decorating it within a budget and a simple set of rules: I can't use black paint, I can't replace the carpet, and I have to do all my own painting. I set fourth with an ambitious plan and … Continue reading My Room So Far…
It's weird being home and seeing high school friends, whether by accident, by appointment, or on Facebook. At university it was great being surrounded by people with similar interests as me. Lots of my uni friends do Creative Writing and we can talk about the possibilities for future employment as journalists, teachers, authors, and more! … Continue reading Precarious, Indeed
