40
I'm 40 today.
The following are things I have learned during my 4 decades on this earth that I would tell my 14 year old self if I had the ability to travel back in time:
1. You will not marry John Taylor of Duran Duran.
2. You do not become a famous actress.
3. George Michael is gay. Seriously. So was your first kiss.
4. Try harder in school. Seriously, hanging out with your friends at McDonalds can wait.
5. Take typing in high school. I know you think it’s just for secretaries, but when you’re 40, everyone should know how to type on a keyboard, (that’s what they’re call now. No one knows what a typewriter is.)
6. You will have some amazing teachers. Show them some respect. You will have some stupid teachers. Show them respect too.
7. Wash your face every day and moisturize.
8. Spend more time with your family. Especially your Grandparents. They won’t be around when you’re 40. Your parents too, (don’t worry, they’re still here).
9. Don’t be in such a rush to grow up.
10. Don’t be so boy-crazy. It makes you seem ditzy. You aren’t.
11. A little less backcombing of the hair might be a good idea.
12. Do NOT shave your eyebrows into zebra stripes in grade 9. They will never grow back properly.
13. Maybe don’t hit your sister in the head with rings on your fingers every time you walk past her.
14. Participate in sports. You may suck now, but you could at least practice. It would be nice to be part of a team.
15. Don’t worry… you are just a late bloomer. Your boobs will eventually grow. A lot. And they will be spectacular!
16. The bitchy girls in high school? They don’t matter. Really. And once you find everyone on Facebook years later, you'll realize you have a lot more in common than you’d ever thought.
17. Don’t go in the sun as much… and stay out of the tanning beds.
18. Buy Apple stock. Lots of it.
19. Sex for the first time really kinda sucks. In fact, it doesn’t get good for at least another 10 years.
20. Those guys that don’t call you back? They’re really just not that into you. Get over it. You deserve better.
21. Be happy when you get stuck for a few extra days in France due to a train strike; something fantastic comes out of it.
22. You will get your heart broken, several times.
23. Don’t apply for every credit card you can when you turn 19. It takes a long time to reestablish your good credit.
24. Learn how to make a budget and stick to it.
25. Not everyone you meet is going to like you. That’s ok.
26. Classy is always better than trashy.
27. Don’t drink too much; that’s when the classy disappears.
28. Don’t sleep with him. Or him either.
29. Instead of spending cash on “stuff” that you won’t care about the next year. Either save it, or spent it on experiences that you will always remember. Go back to Europe.
30. There will be friends that are only in your life for a certain time; that’s ok. Cherish the good times, let it go, and move on.
31. Even by the time you turn 40, the Canucks will still not have won a Stanley Cup. Do NOT bet on them to.
32. Kindness and empathy should come naturally to everyone, they don’t. They take practice; start practicing now.
33. Don’t ever stop being active, walk, run, hike, do yoga, go to the gym. When you stop, it’s hard to get back going again.
34. When you get your weight down to 100 lbs and you think you look good. You only look sick. Dieting isn’t about being skinny, it’s about being healthy.
35. Buy real estate in Vancouver in your 20’s. As much as you can.
36. Practice cooking. Guys like a good cook.
37. You’re still not married when you’re 40, so don’t be disappointed. Just be thankful when all of your married girlfriends complain about their husbands.
38. Always trust your intuition.
39. Facebook will steal way too much of your time that you will never get back, (unless you are a time traveller, which you might be).
40. Just wait until you meet your nephews. Your heart will melt.
8. Spend more time with your family. Especially your Grandparents. They won’t be around when you’re 40. Your parents too, (don’t worry, they’re still here).
9. Don’t be in such a rush to grow up.
10. Don’t be so boy-crazy. It makes you seem ditzy. You aren’t.

Project 365 Day 147
So this is annoying... I bought a new bareMinerals powder the other day, and they slightly changed the packaging. No big deal, except that the new jar, (on the right) is only 8g, while the old one was 9g. I know it's not a big difference, but it's still really annoying. Did they think no one would notice?

Project 365 Day 128
Take me out to the Ball Game...
I don't know what else to say... today's Project 3.6.5. picture is me eating a footlong hotdog at Safeco Field today.
The Mariners lost btw.

Also, here are a few more pictures from today:
Anyone that knows me, knows what a significant picture this is. Enough said.
Beer at the Ball Game.
Great seats, right behind home plate!
Me in my new Mariners (Ichiro) T!
On the train ride home tonight. I loved that we were so close to the water.

Project 365 Day 121
So my Mom told me that her Dad used to tell her that she'd trip over a match stick in a hay stack. Guess who got my Mom's klutzy genes?
This is the goose-egg I got after falling on the playground equipment that I was playing on with my nephews this morning.
It really hurts, and it's my Project 3.6.5. picture today.

What I learned in April
This is April:
1) Playoffs games make me very nervous, and they are much more fun to see live
2) I still believe in true love
3) I really want to win the lotto
4) Vancouver is the most amazing city in the world
5) Doing taxes really sucks
6) Advance voting is the only way go
7) Hockey jerseys are not very flattering on women, but they’re still very fun to wear
8) I’m still loving yoga
9) I love it when my fat jeans are super loose on me
10) I love it even more when my skinny jeans are loose on me
Really looking forward to seeing what May brings!

Twins
Have you ever met someone that had the same birthday as you? Right down to the same year? You probably do all the time, but you just don't know it. Last night at Section (3), I met someone that had the exact same birthday as me! Greg (Craig?) on the left and I could be twins separated at birth. Other than the fact that we were born in different cities. I think that's kind of cool.

50 Things...
ME!As this is my 50th Post (already??), I thought I would honour it by posting 50 random things about me. It’s an updated list that I posted on Facebook about a year and a half ago.
1. I can touch my tongue to my nose.
2. I wanted to be an Astronaut when I was younger. The idea of exploring space was beyond exciting for me.
3. People that bite their forks drive me absolutely crazy.
4. U2 is my favourite band. Ever.
5. I lived on a commune for the early part of my childhood. No electricity and no running water.
6. I thought I was Japanese during these early years, and was rather distraught when I found out I wasn’t.
7. Moving to Toronto was the second best thing I’ve ever done. I met many wonderful people there.
8. Moving home to Vancouver was the best thing I’ve ever done.
9. I have had my heart broken and I have broken hearts. Both are equally painful.
10. I have never known a love as strong as when I saw my twin nephews for the first time. I was heartbroken that I couldn’t hold them because they were in incubators.
11. My family is the most important thing to me. Even extended… all have a huge place in my heart. Blood truly is thicker than water.
12. I talk to myself all the time. Everyday.
13. I can’t listen to a Wham! song and not sing out loud.
14. I over-analyze Everything.
15. My first concert ever was Bryan Adams. September 3, 1985.
16. I am the worst speller ever, but am not too bad at grammar.
17. Photography is my new favourite hobby… I’m getting better at it everyday!
18. I didn’t eat my first hamburger until I was in my 20’s.
19. I could tweeze grey hairs all day long. I’ve had them since I was 12.
20. Cheese is the best food ever. Ever. Chocolate is a close second.
21. I am scared to death of moths and black holes. Oh, and public speaking and being on TV.
22. My favorite movie is “It’s a Wonderful Life” I can recite every line.
23. I work alone, so I get pretty lonely. I’m so happy on days when I have meetings and get to interact with other people.
24. I cry at the On-Star radio commercial where the lady that just had an accident is pregnant.
25. I’m a lurker... I love reading blogs and chat-walls, but I rarely ever comment on them.
26. The book “The Devil Wears Prada” was loosely based on my life in Toronto. Not really, but it could have been.
27. I love stories about time travel.
28. I’m a bit of a nerd.
29. My hair is ridiculously thick and has super-human powers. You can actually floss your teeth with it. Gross. I know.
30. My great-grandmother was the first school teacher in Kelowna. There’s a school named after her there.
31. I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 27! I have only driven a handful of times since then.
32. I get crushes on gay guys. Figures.
33. I have won 2 trips from radio contests. Same station, different name. South Beach and New York.
34. I am always proud to say I was born in Vancouver.
35. Two of my best friends are both named Melissa. They are more like sisters though.
36. When I was a kid, I thought others judged me because I didn’t go to Church.
37. I broke my two front teeth on a curb when I was 14. There is nothing more traumatizing than having to go to high school for 2 weeks with no front teeth.
38. I can stare at a beautiful woman for hours examining her face. Angelina?
39. I’m not afraid of getting older, but I don’t want to look older.
40. I haven’t seen the kids I grew up with on the Commune for years, but no matter what, we’re always family.
41. I once saw Mary-Kate or Ashley naked. I’m not sure which one though.
42. When I was in Grade 6 I got to play Zeus in a play.
43. I can play dumb really well… I’m not though.
44. I still cry when I think about the day my dog, Max died… over 13 years ago.
45. I am so proud of my sister for carrying my nephews and being stuck in the hospital for 40 days.
46. I was a latch-key kid when I was 7. It wasn’t a big deal back then; I used to come home and watch Spiderman. I would never let a 7 year old do that now though.
47. Trevor Linden is my favorite Hockey player of all times. When I moved to Toronto, my work gave me a Linden jersey as a going-away gift. Best present ever.
48. Although I love my roommates past and present, (except 1), living alone was amazing, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I could afford to.
49. I am the worst singer, which really sucks because I love to sing.
50. When I was 17, Robson Street was my second home. 20 years later, I've come full circle.
1. I can touch my tongue to my nose.
2. I wanted to be an Astronaut when I was younger. The idea of exploring space was beyond exciting for me.
