I recently noticed that everytime something drastic happens in my life I heal by way of declaring something something. What I mean is that J and I broke up less than 2 months ago and in order to help me heal I have declared this summer the summer of trying new things. Last summer was the summer of trashiness where I listened to trashy music, watched trashy movies and read trashy novels that I wouldn't otherwise indulge in on any given sane day.

So in order to keep up with my declaration, not to be confused with a new year's resolution (it's more a mid-year resolution), I have been trying new things. These new things may be small, or may be huge in the scope of all that's new, but they are new regardless of size.

-- I have tried the new Yogurt and berries from Tim Horton's here in Canada and mm mm it's berry good.

-- I have decided to talk the corny language that seems to be spewing from my lips lately. For example: Berry goodness? Yes indeed I have flown my coop.

-- I took the train ALL ALONE for the second time in my entire life to visit a friend the next province over. This friend is my best-friend and I couldn't stay with him and his wife due to their abominable pets.(cats) So I stayed BY MYSELF in a hotel room for the second time in my life. It was fantastic and I shall be doing that again in August.

-- I intend to join the YMCA or YWCA in Montreal so I can meet new people AND start looking really good (i.e: working out my body because that’s what it’s there for I guess)…and it couldn't hurt to meet somebody new who may appreciate me for who I am and not throw me to the wayside like certain other people have done in the past.

-- Last but not least: I’m trying on a whole new attitude like it’s a comfortable pair of sweatpants. Basically this new attitude is a mix of “I don’t care” “Nothing bothers me” “it’ll all roll down my back” “Does this face look worried?” kind of attitude. But I also have some “I’m friendly, watch me smile” thrown in the mix.

I need to get out and meet more people, and quite possibly my lifemate who will fall madly in love with me...or at least tolerate my clammy hands.
