Speaks for itself really. Very very good :o)

Reasons why Robin Hood is the best hero and legend.

1.He lives in a forest.

2. His weapon of choice is a bow & arrow which requires mad skills and is seriously cool.

3. He wears tunics and hooded cloaks, no super tight onesies or balaclava's decorated with spiderwebs.

4. I like the color green.

5. His men are always merry.

6. He is a compassionate and kind hearted outlaw. A good bad guy!

7. Kryptonite ain't gonna kill him Yo.

8. He's a one girl guy.

9. Steal from the rich and give to the poor. This is a mission statement I'm ok with.

Somebody asked me over New Year what my perfect guy would be like. I think he's Robin Hood.

Glee. I love it and I am not ashamed to admit that I have hitched one of my stars to the Glee bandwagon filled with hilarious one-liners, obsessive crushes and cheeseball songs. I'm involved.

I watched an ep tonight where hot guy in a fake wheelchair gets into a scrap with sometimes-hot guy in a fake wheelchair. Scrap turns into a fist fight and hot teacher breaks it up demanding an explanation.

"I'm just really stressed about the bake-sale Mr Schu"!

He's not stressed about the bake-sale. He is stressed because he slept with his best mate's girl, knocked her up then fell in love with her. FAIL. But here is the thing...we all say we are stressed about the bake-sale, or 'work', or 'church stuff', or we're just really tired or just really busy.

I'm a little stressed about the bake-sale. There is alot going on, so many people to contact and keep informed, so many things to be organized and planned at work and at church and with friends and at home. After School club and youth retreat and summer holidays. But beyond that I'm thinking about making decisions about what happens after this semester, this summer. Making decisions about relationships and trying to enjoy life because I do love it at the minute.

Life is one big bake-sale.

Dr Seuss was a smart smart dude. He said this...."Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind".

Sometimes I'm loud and outspoken but it doesn't make me arrogant. And in others I am quiet and unsure, but that doesn't mean that I'm afraid or that I don't have alot to say. I'm incredibly stubborn but I'm easy-going. I forgive easily but it takes a long time to forget. I try to keep my feelings hidden but it doesn't mean I don't have any. I've made mistakes but I've achieved alot.

Being comfortable with who you are and fighting the typecast boxes people put you in is a constant battle, but it's part of the journey. My best friend gets married tomorrow and I have finally booked flights back to Vancouver. I'm happy in the skin I'm in and it has been a long string of months since I have been able to say that.

We were talking last night, over 36 tunnocks seasons greetings tea cakes and lightly salted tortilla chips, about living at home with parents and how crazy they all are....throwing important stuff in the bin for no good reason, muttering under their breath even though you have already given in and started said household chore, stirring cups of tea for a really really really really REALLY long time. And I have to ask....

Why do parents ask us to do things when they are perfectly capable of doing it themselves? And why is it so hard to ask this question without sounding unbelievably obnoxious.

Why do parents lock in on one thing, lets say the coffee cup you left in the lounge the night before, and turn it into the worst offense you could possibly have committed. For instance, "while we're on that note of the coffee cup....you are really really bad with money".

Why do parents want to know absolutely everything? How much money do you earn? Whats in those shopping bags you just brought in with you? Who was on the phone? When are you going to grow up?

You gotta love your parents and the the older you get the more comical these incidences become and isn't it somewhat comforting or refreshing to know that all parents are the same. The man must insert a chip into your brain when you have your first child that programs all this stuff in. Maybe thats why people have water births...you can't insert an electronic chip in water. It goes against common health and safety regulations.

Happy 2010.
