He's Out of my League.

I'm a single 23 year old curvy lady living in Winnipeg. This is what I think of stuff. I love Criminal minds and a million other shows. However, I also love to spend a lot of time in nature and I like to take pictures.

Dear Thursday Self,

Thanks for making homemade chocolate bars

Love,
Sunday Self

I’m in a weird position right now, not literally. Literally, I’m actually comfortably laying in my sleeping bag.

I find myself back in the position I thought I got past, fighting for a dream I am still not sure I ever wanted. I’m here because I need the money and connections.

In the last few months I’ve noticed a change in myself. I’ve become more mature, laid back, and calm. It has made life better and I don’t like how this position is bringing me back to who I was.

I am the same being, the same blood and flesh. But my spirit and my mind have grown and I must consciously remember the changes in order to avoid repeating the periods of desperation I felt in the past.

Lena Dunham is not representing all of us. Her characters aren’t reflecting every 20-something girl, no matter how much the title of her show or the “plainness” of her face might make us occasionally forget otherwise. She is not speaking for all us (and nor should she), but she is speaking about some of us. For those of us who aren’t ashamed to admit it, the characters in Girls help to normalise what our lives can be like. In the same way, My Mad Fat Diary is painting a picture of what it can mean to be a teenage girl dealing with the burden of being a teenage girl. It is not the story of every mentally ill person, every teenager living in Lincolnshire in the 1990s, nor every fat girl dealing with crushes and clothes shopping and pool parties. Rae doesn’t represent all of us but, like Hannah, she’s ticking a few boxes that, up until now, have gone unchecked on TV.

In case anyone every wondered. I’m smart :) Proud of myself and really wishing those first year courses would disappear and bump up my GPA. 15 credit hours left for next year. So close!

Want to know what is even worse than a construction company pulling down your cable/phone/Internet lines? A garbage truck ripping them from your house the following day.

Today I am thankful for 3G and kind strangers who help pick up overturned BBQs knocked over by the force of such events.

The photos are of the pieces of wire now laying in my yard. That grey box should be attached to my house, not at the other end of my yard against the fence.
