it seems there is an upside to doing things i don't want to do... getting to do things i DO want to do. the reality is, we can't have two things at once. we can't eat everything we want in excess and still expect to be fit, we can't sleep all day and still expect to have a job, we can't not work and still expect to have money, we can't say whatever we want and still expect people to like us, we can't never do housework and still expect to have a clean+tidy house. so i guess the end result makes the effort worth it, i'm just hoping that one of these days doing good will become first nature, and it won't require so much effort. my current project is (not a surprise) cleaning my house, but my plan is to tidy one room each day, and just continue in that cycle. if i do a small amount each day it shouldn't be too hard to maintain. i'll keep you posted.
i biked to yoga class tonight. it seems i only takes about 6 and a half minutes to get to the YMCA from the m centre on a bicycle. handy. bikes really aren't much slower then cars in short distances. i love how my bicycle helmet looks like a motorcycle helmet. i love that some day i'll have a real motorcycle helmet because some day i'll have my very own vespa :) man, it's gonna be so rad.....
i was telling my table-mates at jo's wedding what an esthetically pleasing name i have. check this out....
Lesley McKnight
isn't that a beaut? i love the ascending and descending letters. nice mixture, the capital K really adds something i think. i'm not just saying this because it's my name, i've just noticed because i've looked at it my entire life. Tigerlily is also quite attractive, sarah did well. i find it interesting that my last name has 8 letters but only one vowel.i tried to be good,
but i wasn't very good at it.

purely from a scrabble point of view, your last name is unusual. i think it's totally wicked that you like your name so much. myself, i have issues with capital Rs and Bs. Rebecca looks ridiculous with a small 'r' though. beckie looks ok. Beckie, weird.
i'm glad someone else fixates on these things a bit, too. :)
i like dawna better than Dawna... and definitely much better than donna. donna is just plain weird.
but, in handwriting, the 'd' requires capitialization... looks much better.
During busy times on kingston roads, even over long distances a bike is as fast as a car. I biked from the WI ferry up princess street a while ago and there was a distinctive car that I used to check my distance. While I was in continuous motion and it was stopped quite a bit we both made it to Victoria St. at about the same time.
it's not so much tha i like my name as much as i find it very esthetically pleasing from a typography point of view. lovely.
i like that other people have thought about this as much as i have :)
i too prefer dawna to donna. you're the first dawna that i've known.
good investigative work aphra!
