... I love this.

Good luck! I am not *great* at math, but I was so convinced I was terrible at it that the very idea of revisiting it in university drove me to tears and adult tantrums. With some help from a non-misogynist teacher who believed I could do it, turns out I could! I pulled an A in an intro course and am taking a "Math for…

I like your style! I'm doing an EDUC minor (in counselling though, not teaching) and there's a ton of empirical evidence that a 2-3 month holiday really isn't good for a continuity of learning, particularly in children with a lower socioeconomic status.

What I find weird is that you're able to take eight courses per semester. At my university, you have to get special dispensation to take 6 at a time (some ENG double majors can take 7, but they CANNOT work in addition because the coursework and homework takes up at least 55 hours a week) and most people tap out at…

Eh? Eh?

It's really weird how much more common tans (particularly the salon variety) are when you get out of central Van and into the outer suburbs. I grew up in North Delta and hoooo boy, back in the early 2000s, just about all of my ladypeers were roasting themselves at tanning salons. I'm way too pale to handle it, but I…

I did have a prescription - about five years ago, I had acute anxiety almost constantly for an entire year. I did talk therapy which helped bring medown to sort of tolerable-but-chronic low-level anxiety (I am just a person who swims with responsiblity and guilt all the time - it seems to be my character and something…

Are you my fairy godmother? That is the perfect combination for me going from frazzled asshole to totally rad.

Flat-ass, EE width size 11s here. Fluevog's one of the only designers that fits me, but good lord, they are pricey at retail.

I really dig this cut, provided someone's got the bone structure and hair thickness to rock it (I have crazy fine hair so I can't do a buzz otherwise I look ill). I also don't really have a problem with Skrillex, possibly because I don't really go to clubs or catch much radio. I've only heard his "big" single a…

I definitely lost my own engagement ring about a month ago. I'd love for it to turn up again, but given the "very rigid search" that ensued, I don't expect to be reunited.

I was coerced into seeing Happy Feet, and I can honestly say that it is one of the worst films I have ever seen. It was offensively bad, and I felt like I was dying of secondhand embarassment the whole time I was watching it.

Co-signed. I feel like that's sort of a feature of that brand of comedy, is some stuff is just REAL SHIT and even if played for laughs, uncomfortable. Well, plus the whole Letourneau-esque angle.

I use the film as sort of a personality baramoter with friends - I show it to them, if they laugh hysterically, I know we'll at least get each other on that level.

LOVE LOVE LOVE that film and just about everything anyone from the State/Stella has their grubby mitts on.

Had a lousy experience with Trees - their wifi sucks, the coffee is average and they are entirely too proud of their lacklustre cheesecake.

I live in Vancouver (BC) and am, in short order, doing a wee pilgrimmage down the PNW coast, hitting up Seattle and PDX. Now I'm gonna check out all of these places in the comments!

JJ is good, but I prefer Artigiano. Granted, I usually get an Americano over drip and that can make a difference in preference.

I don't believe I have ever allowed a dude to pay for anything for me on a first date. Actually, for the most part, I pay for everything on the first go. Specifically to avoid the feeling of owing someone something and to cushion the blow if I'm not interested in a second. That's not to say I'm a total catch or…

When I was an a committed, nonexclusive relationship, there were strict rules about sleeping with other people that included a frank discussion about recent testing and concern factors. I followed this religiously, my (at the time) partner did not. Or he only went halfway, and then I found out one of his other…
