i knew your eyebrows couldn't be that naturally fantastic.
my wife calls mine "worbeyes" because the go the opposite direction of most people's; they're thin in the center of my face and thick at the ends. i also get one or two really long, blonde hairs in each of them that make me feel like i'm turning into a Klingon.

That's why I get mine waxed, ZING it's all gone at once.
Down, but not out.
Realizing further and deeper reasons behind the importance and overall benefits that smiling and laughter seems to give and receive. It seems to have also helped me become more grateful and appreciative.
I was nobody. Nothing.
I got the new stephen king book. I can't get the picture to upload.
But, Praise Jesus.
Stephen King is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy.
I will probably read the whole fucking thing tonight
Few things make me as happy. It's on par with a new NIN record to me.

In the days leading up to Thanksgiving (Sunday-Wednesday), I made my first trip to the birding mecca that is southern Arizona with two other birders, one a friend I'd known for several years and the other someone I hadn't met until the trip. Prior to leaving, I needed to see 6 new birds to reach 500 on my life list; by the time I returned home on Wednesday afternoon, I'd seen 7 lifers, bringing my life list up to 501 species.
My milestone #500 bird? Late afternoon on Monday, November 23, a single Yellow-eyed Junco, a specialty of the southeastern Arizona mountains, seen hanging out with its much more widespread counterpart, a Dark-eyed Junco, as the three of us were headed up Miller Canyon in the Huachucas to see some Spotted Owls, which we did, courtesy of the guiding services of the man who lives on the ranch catered to birders at the base of the trail. The junco may not be the most charismatic of birds, but because it was my 500th life bird, it managed to compete with birds as grand as Spotted Owls and as rare (in the USA) as a Sinaloa Wren for the title of "most memorable sighting of the day." It's just too bad I couldn't get a photo of my landmark sighting, but that's only a minor complaint in the scheme of things.

the smell of the lining of a motorcycle helmet. it's distinct, and it lingers from the ride until you wash your hair. it reminds you of all the fun you've just had.

You know, the only time in my life I considered birding was here in Australia. In the 6 years I've been here I've seen some crazy birds. Now that I'm leaving on Thursday, though, it's a bit late to start.

Australia has always been high on my list of places to go birding someday, mostly because the wildlife there is so extraordinarily different from anything we have here in the States. (My other "top" destinations being South America and Africa - which naturally are the two most bird-rich continents, with over 3,000+ species each, more than a third of the world's birds.) Well, I'm young; I'll get my chance to see Oz and those other international locations sooner or later...

Flicking through my pictures from last week and thinking of all the fun I had in NYC.

No way you've been there for 6 years?! And you're leaving? Where? why?

I know, it's crazy I've been in Australia that long. Sydney is now my 3rd-most lived place. This actually cheers me up, so...posting relevance.

3. Sydney, Australia: just over 6 years
4. Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada: just under 6 years*
5. Ottawa, Canada: 5 years
6. Pembroke, Ontario, Canada: 1.5 years
7. Toronto, Canada: 1 year
8. Deep River, Ontario, Canada: 2 months.
*Change imminent.

You're both grounded for being sassy!

Whoops, when I 'liked' that it was because I thought we were grounded for being sexy.
Bite me
We're both January babies. "Sassy" = sexy.
Cheers me up: The Mayor of Chicago fired the police superintendent. At least it's a start.

I'm now over a month without having self-harmed at any point, the longest I've gone without doing so since I started again this April. It's a little uncomfortable to talk about but I'm really proud of myself for stopping for this long and hopefully never starting again.

I seriously cannot stop laughing at this.

as someone who dealt with that for YEARS (bundled with my eating disorders and various other things), i can say that i'm proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself. every little victory is worth celebrating. stay strong and keep going.

Cheers me up: family agreeing not to buy Xmas gifts, because it's wasteful and pointless.
Cheers me up: I like the person my company has hired to replace me here in Australia.
Cheers me up: our families being super-excited to see us return to Canada tomorrow (though it will be a very long flight).
Cheers me up: knowing I have lounge access at the LA and Toronto stops on our flights back to Nova Scotia tomorrow.
Cheers me up: my customers here in Australia telling me they'll miss me.
Cheers me up: having to drink all the booze we don't want to pack or pay duty for.

Won a neat little flash fiction contest. Just a weekly thing and no big prize or anything, but it was a fun little thing I did on a whim and it's cool to get some praise, especially from people who look at a lot of stuff every week.
Oh, and I've now dropped four jean sizes in the past year and a half, with no signs of stopping anytime soon, so that rocks. Maybe not such a little thing though. Only twenty pounds away from finally being back in my target weight range, and then another ten from my personal goal. I've been lifting a lot and I know that adds muscle weight and I've gotten a bit bulkier from it, but regardless, say six months from now I should be in the best shape of my life so far, which is a really awesome feeling. And I wish I could say there isn't a petty sense of "That'll show them!" towards all the people throughout my life who made me feel awful over my body image and eating disorder, but there totally is that petty sense somewhere in there, and, to be honest, it's pretty great.
