My younger sister introduced me to Gaia Online. This place is so fantastic that I spend way too much time here . It just makes me happy to be in such a wonderfully vigorous and chaotic environment! Gaia Online is an online hangout, incorporating social networking, forums, gaming and a virtual world. Mainly, you can create a customizable avatar, your own house, even an aquarium with items you can buy with ‘gold’ that you earn from doing… just about anything on the site including simply browsing. You can chat with people in the forum or in flash based chat rooms known as “towns”, play cute flash games, whatever you want! I highly recommend this site. It’s very adorable and fun!

Rain, rain

It’s raining, it’s pouring ! I love the rain… when I’m inside. It makes me want to curl up by the fire with a good book and read for the whole day or maybe drift off to sleep. I especially love walking around with my new umbrella with the dogs, but it’s really irritating when Geist or Sasha play in the mud . Then I have to give them a bath! They say that April showers bring May flowers, but in Canada the flowers really don’t appear until mid-June . It may still be March, but I certainly am ready for spring!

This June, Junko Mizuno, one of my favorite artists, will be having a solo exhibit at Magic Pony on Queen Street, in Toronto ! She will be showcasing her new body of work. Anyone who knows me knows I simply adore her work ♥! Who can resist such grotesque cuteness?

If only Toronto wasn’t so far away …

There are two phrases I absolutely loathe to hear, and that is because they are both foreboding of bad and awkward things to come. At the least.

One of them is, “I have a question for ya!”, second only to, “We need to talk/There’s something we need to discuss.”

So, for future reference, if you DON’T want to give me a panic attack, DON’T call and leave either of these phrases as a message. If you have a question, I don’t know…you could always…gee, what alternatives are there? OH YEAH you could JUST ASK THE QUESTION. Why preface anything with what you’re going to do? It’s not like if you want to say something, no one will find out until you say, “I have to say something”- it’s obviously going to come out pretty soon, anyway. No normal person is going to respond to, “I have a question for you!” with, “No questions please,” or the like. Give me a break.

Dreams

I think I must be getting boreder (and I created a whole new word! ) . If anyone would like to offer to keep me entertained, I’d consider all invitations. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder (a favorite quote of my husband’s ) so by my calculations you should all be mildly pleased to see my happy face and hear my wonderfully posh tones – except you can’t. This is a blog.

Just to bore you all, and maybe weird you out further, as it makes me feel better, I’m going to mention the dream that I had last night. Any interpretations would be more than welcome:

My father and I were out in the middle of the countryside in a lime green Chevy. The whole place was flooded and so we decided to go to a car wash for some reason . Anyway, next thing I know, I’m in a hospital wandering round, with no sign of my parents but many people who I seem to know. Anywho, there’s a really bitchy girl and we have an argument . I got for a chat in the grounds with some guy. We almost run away, end up by a lake and a manor house (also part of the weird hospital) before I get a call on my iphone from Matt saying that I have to go back.

Hmmm, maybe it’s because of the awful cold I’ve been suffering from. Tell me your thoughts.
