so, I turned 26 recently. According to my childhood plans, I’m way behind in life. Now that I’m ‘grown up’ I was supposed to have saved the world, become an artist, ballerina, car mechanic AND paediatrician. I remember a grade 3 teacher telling the class that we could be anything we wanted in the world. She asked us to name a profession that we wanted to aspire to. My hand shot up immediately, and when called upon, I said “I wanna be a Catholic Priest, is that possible? you said anything!” I didn’t actually want to be a priest, I just wanted to prove the teacher wrong.
I recently ran into an embarrassing situation that makes me realize I’m not as ‘grown up’ as I’m afraid of becoming. The story starts off with a confession… I’m a handicap stall lover. You know, in public restrooms? I go right to the handicap stall. I though EVERYONE used the handicap stall.. it has so much room in it, and always has a purse hook… its just so logical. So, I’m at the movie theatre and it has about 10 stalls. Of course, as usual, I use the handicap. I walk out of and there is a mother and her daughter waiting to use it, the daughter in a wheelchair. The mother pointedly looks at all the other empty stalls and then back at me. I mumbled sorry and RAN out of there! In my 26 years of using handi stalls, I finally run into someone who needs it. I have to admit, those are some pretty big odds, BUT I’m not going to wait another 26 years to break the habit.
In my attempt to really grow up, I’m wondering what other habits I have, hidden from myself, that I think are perfectly normal, but find out in an embarrassing way, that they aren’t! I think the list is growing shorter.. Maybe once I finish it, I can start saving the world.

New Music: The Burlington, Ontario band Walk off the Earth really intrigues me… They have made themselves successful but making wicked covers… bringing their own sound to old favourites. They remind me of Behind Sapphire does, I hope they start making their own songs again soon!
Annnnd check out these guys, the Icelandic Indie band Monsters and Men… aren’t they fantastic?
