I think my problem is I'm constantly in my head.
Ever watch the show Scrubs?
Well, I'm J.D.
Poor lad has his brain on overdrive and because of it, he misses a lot of what goes on around him.
C'est moi!
But I think, as I have for sometime, the unexamined life is not a life worth living.
I'm going into Toronto today to visit some people and maybe grab some stuff for school.
And unfortunately, I know I'm going to be living in my head for most of it.
I'll write when I get back home; I have no doubt I'll have many dilemmas that require discussing.
Be well, everyone!

A Broken Cellphone and A Crazy Cat
I suppose in all intents and purposes I should introduce myself; say who I am, what I like, if I prefer vanilla over chocolate ice-cream and generally make it seem like you, my lovely reader can relate to me in some way. That we have some type of connection; be it real or imaginary, fictional or otherwise. But since you are reading this I feel we've already got that connection.
But for the sake of argument, I'll start the introductions anyways.
I grew up about an hour east of Toronto in a decently sized town in Durham. Two sisters, younger of course. Mom and Dad still together after 25 years of marriage. Everything was great in those days. I ran away from home when I was two years old if you can believe it. I was in my diaper, pedaling my little heart out because I wanted to go to the park down the road. I lived by an airport for many years and for many years I dreamed of being a pilot. Then I grew up. I met a boy through a friend and he became my first boyfriend at the ripe old age of 13. He was the love of my life, he was my soulmate, he was everything you think you want at 13...which in reality just meant he would hold my hand, kiss me sometimes and take me skating at the Civic on Sundays. Long story very very very shortened, we broke up and I moved on immediately to someone else. Someone dangerous. Someone, looking back, I should've avoided. But from him came one of the best people I've ever known; so yes, things have silver linings even in their darkest hours.
I could go on about my addictions, my troubled youth, my problems with suicide, my neverending and relentless urge to help others when they need helping but that would make this a very long and very sad blog.
I'm not here for that now. Although I'll likely tell you stories from time to time about things I did. But this is not the purpose of this blog. Not now anyways.
So for now, it will be what is on my mind presently that will grace these pages of the interwebs.
And for now, that is my introduction.
Be well :)
