Today is the first day this winter that I felt the winter chill. It’s a perfect night to cuddle under a blanket with puppies and listen to the wind try and break in.

: the device of giving emphasis by professing to say little or nothing about a subject
The skinny:
20-something female from Toronto. Lives with her husband and two dogs in the beautiful "Scarlem" area. Works full-time doing marketing-type things (and much more outside her official job description). In her spare time you can find her creating – whether it be a knit sweater, a short story, or a new recipe. She is a bookworm, a bellydancer, a knitter, and much too stubborn for her own good!
The extended version:
I am an equal mix of both of my parents. From my mum I inherited a bit of bohemianism and social awareness. From my father I learned the value of money (and working hard for it) and came to acquire somewhat of an expensive taste (which unfortunately I do not get to indulge often). Like my parents, my political views are mixed: I can lean towards the left (mum) only to turn around a second later and lean towards the right (dad).
I chose to go into Marketing after high school to get the required post-secondary education behind me so I could pursue further education at a private music school in Recorded Arts Management. After that fell through for various reasons (lack of money, mainly, and the horror stories from friends within a declining industry) I landed in the confectionery business, where I have (sometimes un-)happily been ever since.
I always have a “project” going on in my spare time. It can be anything from performing surgery on my wardrobe, painting on canvas to fill the blank space on the wall, trying a new knitting pattern, or just trying to finish the book I was sidetracked from months ago. I have recently gone back to school part-time to pursue Communication Studies, just for fun.

Oh how I miss this drive.
Hundreds of people from the United States and Canada want to adopt an Oklahoma dog that survived an attempt to euthanize it.
Can somebody please tell them to stop staring at me? I just want to knit in peace.

"I am on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it once your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body."
