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
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’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
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
For a second year in a row, Vegas will once again become an awkward home where I'll live and study within the same building for one week, get a glimpse at the best body jewellery, and if I'm lucky enough, get the opportunity to tag along with others on new adventures and create social bonds. … Continue reading Pre-APP2017 nerves
The idea of spending money on a biological inconvenience to create biohazardous waste to fill holes we dig for massive scale accumulation which will eventually become a "conservation area" that smells like farts just doesn't compute as logical to me. Now I know people are probably tired of the feminist angle. I can't say it's … Continue reading Lady problems
Someone once told me that time feels like it goes by quicker as you age. Thirty is only a couple years away, and as things go forward I've gotten used to a lot of different patterns and habits. Lately the remedial and seemingly tiny tasks have been getting to me. Shaving in particular is one of those … Continue reading Au naturel
There's a common message being projected right now, and that's how nobody saw this coming. It came as a total shock to everyone. Nobody expected it, and it was written off as a joke. Now, I'm not American. I don't live in the states, and I'm not really into politics or media (or at least … Continue reading Trump
