Manners

My name is Caryl Joanne Davies and I have a manner problem. I don't know when to say Thank you, or Please, or any other manner-y type thing. Don't know why this is, it just is!

That's it really...just bored my self. Time for bed-y byes.

Disconnect

There's this guy who, on one Saturday, decided to turn off or 'disconnect' if you will, and be 'offline.' To me, this is very freightening. I really don't know what I would do with myself. So I challenge thee, to the one person who reads this, to a disconnect-off. Yes, that's right!

The challenge:

Do not use cell phone, tv, blackberry, computer, or any other tech-y device for 1 full day, that's a 24 hour period.

I would like to see you try.

I would also like to see me try.

If anyone out there is reading this, please try it and message me that you've done or haven't done it. I'd be interested in seeing if it can be done. Well I know it can cause some dude did it, so good for that guy.

God speed!

The Weekend

I really don't understand why we have the time change, like I really don't understand. Somebody tried to explain it to me, he said that it was to conserve energy, but I don't buy that. You see, I have this theory that the government actually pays aliens to come to earth, well specifically North America, since that's the only place where the time change happens. The aliens take over our brains and manipulate us for that 1 hour where we 'lose' sleep. They do all sort of experiments and laugh at us while we sleep. They collect the data and then give it to the government and then the government laughs at us too because the data they collected shows that people sleeping are really boring and lame, and that's what they want, they want boring people. They also get the aliens to brainwash us into being dumb people so they can take advantage of us and play with our minds on a daily basis. The government loves this shit, and that's why when the time change happens everyone in the North American hemisphere is always so tired for 2 weeks after the change, because "Aliens have taken over my brain!"

I don't want it to end!

I'm really sad that winter is nearing an end. I mean, I really enjoyed the delicate, flakey snowflakes that gently caressed my face, and also the way the minus 20 temperatures smashed into my face like sharp knives. I'm going to miss those days. If only we had winter all year round. Think about how great life would be. We could build snowmen all the time, wear huge winter jackets, and long, colourful scarves, and my favourite, heavy, clunky, salt stained boots. I am seriously thinking of moving to Nunavut. I hear the people are friendly and they love a good deer killing. You can't go wrong with that! One great thing about Nunavut is that in the summer the sun never sets, it's like 4 in the morning and it's like, let's go to the beach, or in this case, the ice. I really don't see why anyone would want to live in warm climate. Like Baz Lurhman says, "living on the west coast makes you soft...." Nobody likes a softy-pie.




As of late I've noticed the snow slowly melting into lake-like puddles in the street, I'm really going to miss the days when it was rock hard ice and I could skate my bike across the sheet of ice and race the car beside me on the street. I'm especially going to miss the times when I would fall on the ice and break my ankle and have to go to the emerge because my ankle broke in two places.


One of the greatest winter memories happened just yesterday, I went tobogganing at the local mountains and hit the slopes with fast and fury. I managed to beat my friends down the hill! The only problem was that I thought it was warmer than it was and I got frost bite on my two pinky fingers. One of winter's greatest things - frost bite. Man, I had to get my pinky's cut off and then dethawed them and then had them reattached. Thank goodness for winter. I mean, I wouldn't have any of these kinds of wonderful experiences to share with you.

Between you and me, I really don't want winter to end. It's my favourite season in the whole world! Screw Spring, Summer, or Fall, those seasons are for the softies! Bring on the snow...I'm ready and waiting!

Until next time!
