smurfs

during my attempts to do things i've never done before i occasionally come across people that say "why would you want to do that?" or "i see you got roped into doing such-and-such". i find those people discouraging. i'm trying to stretch myself and branch out! i sometimes wish people with such attitudes would keep their mouths shut.

my mom asked me to show her around facebook this evening. yikes. i didn't want to do it for fear she might see something (on other people's profiles) that she didn't like. oh well, i can't protect her forever i guess. in the end of my tutorial she assured me that she wouldn't be joining, i think she didn't like it.

my morning was gloomy. but things brightened when i got an email from my cousin pam. she's fabulous :) one of my favourite people in the world. since then i've felt quite encouraged. i like cousins, they're like siblings but different. it's neat.

and i've managed to do all my dishes and put my laundry away. i'm feeling on top of things, which i prefer to feeling buried underneath.

i have this problem with my eyelids. it's rash-like, perhaps eczema. it's an annoying place to get it, it looks like poor application of eye-shadow. my colleague francois inquired about it the other day ("what did you do to your eyelids?"), i explained, then thanked him for pointing it out to me and making me aware that it's noticable :S

(to close, i'd like to share with you one of my all-time favourite quotes....)

together since the world began the madman and the lover.
