Let it Snow and Other Ramblings
2005 starts and thus i begin a brand new blog.
I woke up this morning to a white Vancouver. Some of the thoughts i have already had regarding this first snowfall:
This snow is pussy snow. It is like a bad imitation of snow. It is like a drag queen that got dressed up in white army fatigues. This isn't real snow! It is slightly more committed rain.
That being said, i love that it can be snowing so hard and i still don't need mittens. I do, however, need to leave for work earlier seeing that BC people go even slower in the white stuff AND perhaps concede to the fact that, whimpy or not, it is still snow that impedes the wearing of 2 inch heeled boots.
Enough about snow.
A life lesson: in scene study at theatre school, the teacher often stops you and asks 'what is your motivation here?' In the event you say something like 'i don't want edgar to leave' or 'i am conflicted about whether or not to tell edgar about his illegitimate child' the teacher may well respond with this -- 'THAT is not a motivation. You can not be clear about what you DON'T want and you can not make your motivation negative. You must figure out exactly what you want, state it simply and succinctly. Only then will you have a goal worthy of fighting for.' So, i translate that into my life. Instead of saying 'i don't want to be pregnant' i say ' i want my body to be healthy and strong and for it to offer outcomes that will serve my highest and best good'.
Not that i am saying i am pregnant. Not that i am saying that i am not.
Hmmmmmm...have i got you curious yet?
