Ha!
There we go. So accomplished am I today, that I finished my paper a whole six hours before my midnight deadline, and furthermore, managed to fix a pic of myself so that I don't look so smushed. Ok, hair's completely different, you're missin' out on all the metal in my face, I look a little stoned, maybe, but certainly not smushed.

What am I saying, I always look stoned.

Ah, yes, so four cups of coffee and no sleep later, I'm done, done done done the schoolwork for Current Canadian Theater. It's unfortunate. Current Canadian Theatre is the class that every theatre student needs to take in order to find out what they're getting into. Sadly, what we learn is how to use Moodle, and how little relevance the course has to what's actually going on out there.

SO! A bit about me for all of you who've been so kind as to add me to their friends list.

I'm from the Maritimes and have been living wickedly anti-socially in Montreal for just over a year. I love it here, I could stay for a very long time and not get bored. (whether I will has yet to be decided) and have recently decided that, in the interest of my mental health and fabulosity, I need more people in my life. Me Voila. I came from NB to study Theatre, although I haven't been able to get more specific than that. I act, I design, I build. I don't care what I do, really, so long as I'm involved. Theatre, I noticed, when I came, is the only thing (Well... no... but occupationally, yes) that I do, that when I'm doing it, I don't spend my time wishing I was doing something else. This is a good thing. I am empassioned. It's made a flake out of me, but that's ok, 'cause I'm cute.

Hmm. What else can I tell you?
20 interesting things about me that you don't already know?

1) I grew up in a beauty school. I was a guinnea pig.
2) I once owned a cat named Trip who liked to sleep in the fridge.
3) I learned to speak, read and write in French first, although you'd never know it to hear me speak English. Or French.
4) I was adopted. I have a well-to-do long lost father who lives on a tropical island in the middle of the ocean.
5) I have an accent, which is characterized by my truncating my syllables. This is what my voice teacher tells me.
6) I think most of my classes are flaky and retarded, but I love them anyway.
7) I have a bad m'fuckin sweet tooth.
8) I'm addicted to the pot, and sometimes it bothers me. Although not enough to stop.
9) My heart knows I'll never get over it, and my head says I will, but my head knows one very important thing: My head makes mistakes, my heart does not.
10) Except for one brief, fleeting moment, I've never felt at home or like I belonged anywhere.
11) I went to France just for the cheese.
12) I was a journalist, with my own beat, and my own office, complete with brass plaque that said (no lie) "Mild Mannered Reporter."
13) Nobody in my life currently knows me very well. I'm tough that way. Not usually forthcomming with information, usually because I believe that knowing random bits of trivia about me isn't at all like knowing me. I'm wide open, but silent. You'll figure me out through careful observation. If you're paying close attention, I'll know, and I'll love you for it. No one has been paying attention.
14) I love to sing. I love to sing more than I love Theatre. That being said... I'm in Theatre and not singing 'cause I couldn't handle the sheer bliss of doing it and nothing else.
15) I've never been parking. I've been TO Parking... but that's different.
16) I can count the people who've seen me naked on one hand. May or may not do something about that.
17) My first words were "Woof Woof"
18) As a child, I was often shut up by my older brothers with "Quit Cryin! Be A Man!"
19) I own my own tools. Cordless drill, tape measure, hammer all that stuff. I even know the difference between a robertson and a phillips screwdriver, AND what a cheesborough is.
20) If I believe in re-incarnation (IF) I'm convinced, for a variety or reasons, that this is my last time around.

And voila. That's what you're gettin' for now.
