I Want Halls, Dammit!

Happy Day After Canada Day Everyone!! So yesterday was Canada day! What did I do? Nothing.. hehe Oh there’s a shock for you all I bet!

Depressed About Depression

I really wish I had some honest and true friends I could talk to who wouldn’t judge, or try to tell me how easy things are when they aren’t. Who aren’t too wrapped up with their own lives to remember to say hello or get in touch. Someone who will just listen and be there… and make me feel like …

Year Round X-Mas

Still in Canada.. still having an awesome time. Tuesday night we went to see the Lipizzaner Stallions and they were as beautiful as I remember them. It was strange because there were so many empty seats! I don’t know if they didn’t advertise it well or if I’m just so biased and in love with horses that I couldn’t imagine …

Four Years
