Eight Relatively Unrelated Positive Things

1. I've rekindled my love for acting with "The Journey to the Bum City" a play I was in for the Fr!nge Festival here at Laurier. I forgot how good it feels to have an excuse for not being myself. Also, the cast, crew and director are some pretty hip cats.

2. The Crafter's Mafia, a crafting group I helped start here, got a mention by one of our members in the Facualty/Student Art Show here. We've all been working hard (if knitting, sewing and cross-stitching can be considered hard work) to raise some visibility for domestic arts, and it is amazing to see formal recognition. Yay, Anne!

3. I wrote an article for the my parent's union's newsletter on fair trade (which wasn't very good) and I'm getting paid $50 for it. Pretty freakin' sweet.

4. WLUSU Elections are over and I didn't die. Pretty positive, I'd say. With all the crap that usually goes down during elections, it was relatively uneventful. Also, it seems as though it is quite feasible to set up a loan system for candidates, thereby opening up the governing structure to students who don't have the $150 to $500 to spend on elections.

5. My friends are funny. This may seem small and unimportant, but I think my main form of exercise is laughing at their jokes, so it's a good thing they are so freaking funny.

6. I figured out how to do the sweet art of illusion knitting, which means I know have a scarf which looks like stripes straight on but when viewed on an angle looks like a skull and crossbones. I call it my skulf.

7. I painted my nails for the first time in ... aw, hell, it's been a long freaking time, and Alexandra says it's "really cool nail polish". So girly, yet so awesome.

8. Gin and Tonics.
