Hey Internet, it's been a while. It's safe to say that existence is not quite the same since the last time we spoke. Our relationship began when I was a young, insecure teen who didn't fit in. You provided me the means to share my journey and meet others who shared similar interests - however … Continue reading A decade older

Giving in to peer pressure, I entered my first bike race which took place at the local off-road trails I usually ride in St. Catharines, Ontario at the end of September. It's only been a couple years since I started riding mtb, and not much longer on a bike in general. I'm 30, barely over … Continue reading My first mountain bike race
Last summer I got into mountain biking, and so did the spouse. Technically it's been a few years since venturing offroad for the very first time (at least for me), but this past year was the first consistent season of riding, and first year of feeling somewhat confident out on the trails. I also became … Continue reading Beginner cyclist & Zwift newbie vs. the 12 week “Build Me Up” training plan
While intentions were good to try and sketch throughout the month, like so many others I fell off the bandwagon. But October (and this past summer) brought changes, new experiences and additions to my life, and for those who are interested I'll introduce to you the two kittens who joined my family, the beginnings of … Continue reading Inktober
It has been a while since I've experimented with body piercing, and although it's not a DIY adventure that I can take credit for, it was the first time I let another person (a trained professional) pierce my face, and after spending half my life collecting a number of facial and body piercings all on … Continue reading Mod monday: My weird new piercing
Before the piercings, the scars, and all of the other little, more permanent procedures, makeup was my jam, or at least a bold, weird wing was. I experimented with fashion a lot too, and started to test a number of boundaries with my appearance at a really young age, beginning with a unique taste in … Continue reading Mod monday: is makeup body modification
It’s that time of year again where we all look back and reflect on how life went this past rotation around the sun, and many of us will come to the conclusion that some things need to change. When I was younger, new year’s resolutions seemed silly. Nobody ever seems to stick by them, and … Continue reading New year, same anxiety
October 2012 was the last time I play pierced. It was also the month my lobes were reconstructed. A lot has happened in the last five years. Obvious things like my aesthetic changes of course but more private things, too. A few months after the photo on the left was taken, I went on hiatus … Continue reading Onward
While tattoo ink is still an awkward stranger to my own skin, body art and alteration isn't. The older years have seen a much slower modification process and retiring or reversing of many, and while that's just a part of my aesthetic now, that doesn't mean I'm done wanting more. Scarification is probably my favourite … Continue reading Mod monday; scarification stories
My second visit to the piercer conference in Vegas is now over and down in the books. I'm back at home and have spent a day reflecting on my experience. This past week began as a lonely one, arriving alone a couple days ahead of classes, triggering the recluse in me, and making it even … Continue reading Post-Vegas depression
