Lake Lovely Water, Vancouver

We sweat through our backpacks, Tripping over unstable river stones we search for the bright plastic ribbons that flutter guiding us up this fucking mountain. Higher — Scrambling up the steep cliff, my nails deep in the dirt. We start with laughter, twenty questions — Who am I?

Perfect Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance

A friends dad told me about the 6 P's just before our final exams. I was 16 going on 17 and thought old people were the worst. Needless to say, the wisdom was lost on me. As it has been, most of my life, hindsight is a massive bitch. 20 minutes into our 4 day … Continue reading Perfect Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance

Travel and Vomit-A tale of Irony

I was preparing to fly to India and decided, last minute, to make myself a quick pasta. (So I'd be nice and full on the flight). I had been discussing my travel plans excitedly all week, laughing off the odd comment about food poisoning and people who return from overseas travel with weird parasites in … Continue reading Travel and Vomit-A tale of Irony
