Jenie stayed over last night and I’ve successfully not been drunk yet this year. Yay me. Feels good. We watched movies and stuff and it was pretty much the best ever.
Posting this via mobile but have a good pic of our boots on my camera. My boots are Hunter and I gave Jenie my Cougars…”Cougar Hunter”. Funny to me ok. That’s what really matters here. haha.
Woke up to winter wonderland, you can hardly see the ground. We made brekky and now heading to studio of my friend and fashion photographer Lynsie Roberts. Doing work from her place this afternoon.
This week has been really busy. Good busy. Monday I worked in my hibernation station, had meetings the rest of the days and now it’s Friday. Whoa. Flew by.
Going to meet a girlfriend for lunch then gonna try & pop by a friends new office space. I love when friends get new office space. I’m so proud and grateful to have the people around me I do. They’re all so smart and good at stuff. INSPIRING!
Last night wa slike a blizzzzzzzzzzzzard. I walked two blocks and then from a friends place in the neighbourhood and jesus cripes it was windy-snow-blowy.
I was practically attacked & violated by the weather.
The island is looking incredibly beautiful today. This photo doesn’t show just how lovely the water is glittering in the sun. I love living here. I love glitter.
This song has been stuck in my head all day. So, I’M PASSING IT ON.
I can’t stop thinking about this movie. It’s the sharing that sometimes creeps me out. The ‘onlineness’ of my life. That movie got me thinking about privacy and openness. I obviously don’t mind being open and sharing about my life and thought to myself, ‘where do I draw the line?’ Where do you draw the line? Is there even a line? Do I care about a line?
I leave out certain things from you, the internet, my friends, things like sex, dating, my family, pretty much any problems I have as well as feelings of sadness/anger. Would I be more real if I shared all that? Am I less real because I don’t?
To a bunch of people, I’m a girl from the internet, possibly someone they (you) feel connected to but have never met. On the other hand, there’s many people I’ve met via Twitter who know me, but don’t really know me at all.
It boggles my mind when I think about our world sometimes. Everyone is so connected. I feed on connections with people. I need them. I’m sitting at my desk as I write this with a external monitor for my netbook (two screens going) while my iPad is beside me (anbother screen) and my phone beside that (four screens). All have twitter running and multilple email accounts and the second I hear a sound from one of them my attention is captured.
Maybe that’s it right there, my attention is captured by the internet, by you. I don’t really know how I feel about the future of the internet but I like it. Even if it makes me feel funny sometimes.
It’s a crazy world we live in. We live in public.
This is what I did last night… I took a break from work for an hour to check out Nat & Marie on ustream then stream live myself on twitcam while my friend Jason streamed from his house. Jason and I chatted with people via twitter and watched each other (twitter-skype?).
To me, was the funniest thing ever. I just watched it again and it was funny.
I really like being on camera.
he started it, so then i started it too:
I posted it before but maybe you didn’t watch it, here’s the trailer for We Live In Public. This very blog post enticed reader @the_jmoney to blog his thoughts about the same topic. Check out his post ‘overshare or unique TV’.
Founds these pix from my trip last month to Puerto Rico.. We took a day cruise with about 20 people on a huge catamaran off the coast to some little island where there was a reef and went snorkeling. The pix certainly warmed me up a little! Enjoy xo
it was sooooo beautiful.
i considered staying with my hot puerto rican BF and Captain Ron…
but, by the end of the day, i craved wifi and modern technology.
AND relised I was quite hammered from so many RUMski’s in the hot sun. AI MAMI!!
it was my first time snorkeling and WOW, it was so amazing. i felt like a FISH!
then again, he was really hot though w/ tattoos and spoke soft spanish words to me….
ah, well. simple pleasures 😉
team boston aka team AWESOME!!
ONLINE (there was one of these in english right by my house when i left)
FYI: been using that jergens lotion and it’s kinda helping me keep a nice glow
this is where i was staying, El San Juan. SO NICE.
On streetcar for the first time in ages. I love the style and energy of this city. It’s so vibrant despite being winter. Its not really even that cold. Went three blocks and saw two friends. Made a hot tub date for this eveing with a babe too.
It feels good to be out of the house and back in the city I love.
My streetcar just went past that burlesque girl I met in Montreal. I need to contact her!
I’m off to a meeting now then meeting friends and back home in time for my show.

I first joined twittter on May 5th, 2008. At that time I was working for an online casino company doing project management. I liked my job and was blogging daily. Near the end of 2008 I was really into Twitter despite not knowing THAT many people into it. I had under 500 followers and the Toronto community was very small compared to what it is now.
Since then, my life has been enriched with HEAPS of wonderful people and experiences. I’m looking forward to the next 45,000 AND when I hit 100,000 tweets. OMFG that will be AMAZING.
Cheers to Twitter and my 45,000 milestone!
One of my followers @MCIbites introduced me to this video made with 45,000 still images. Pretty neat.
In other news, there’s this new thinger called Facto.Me and Mashable said it’s kinda addicting so naturally, I tried it. Well, it is quite amusing. See facts about me here. Some thing you might now know like “The ring on my finger is based on a personality theory.”
our group 20 had a five course dinner at the ever so lovely buonanotte. the website has heaps of plates signed by famous people who ate there like lenny kravitz, jerry seinfeld & jimmy kimmel.
our chariot for the night was a massive limo disco bus (like the ones 905’ers get to come downtown!)
we had a massive area for our crew at this club calle BAINS DOUCHES. haha. these hot ladies danced sexy burlesque for us. rrrrrarrrrrrr. one of the girls is from TO and would like me to come to her class. i like this idea.
HAPY NEW YEAR! 2011 OMG!
this giant 6’5″ 19 year old may have kissed me at midnight
we had a photographer so i didn’t take many photos of our party
i came back from the club earlier than the rest and made use of our awesomely huge tub
our suite was pretty awesome, well except that it was 911. bad sign, gah 9/11? bathroom is behind blue curtain.
had a great sleep, woke up and hung out with myself around the hotel lobby
looked at the beautiful & modern art displayed by an artiste named TONE
then i went to the Away Spa @ W Montreal for a massage and a lovely breakfast
post brekky i met up with the rest of the crew and prepared for departure…
and finally… I share this with you beacause it is pretty freaking AWESOME. Posted details on tumblr.
It’s not as easy as you think. I drew the images on iPad then uploaded to FB. They had to be cropped and edited etc., took a bit longer than I thought but was good practie.There’s some real creative ones on Techcrunch and Mashable.
our NYE adventure started out with a lovely lunch breifing at Mercatto in TO. andrew & monoka gave us all the deets incuding fancy dinners, clubs, limo rides, shopping, plus hair & spa appointments.
I watched it last night as I had a lovely bath in my suite at the W Montreal. It really got me thinking about sharing of content online. Living in public. It opened a few windows in my mind that lead to doors with ideas behind them. I’ve got lots to share with you this year my friends.
Having the most fun. We are quite a hilarious bunch. Flight was short and we were quite loud which made it even more hilarious. We clapped at the end, y’know like how people sometimes do when you go on vacation?? Yes. Funny.
The W Hotel Montreal is so beautiful. It’s my first time staying at this one. Went to Wunderbar the club here last night. The INQ Team is treating us really great, had bottle service and a nice dinner before hand. Brekky this AM with the whole crew, there’s about 15 people in the #INQNYE group, us, couple peeps from Strategic Objectives and contest winners.
Spent some time shopping morning then I ventured out on a massive walk around downtown Montreal. Was nice to have a little self time before tonight. It is going to be INSANE, the whole place is open bar and we have a section to ourselves, a bodyguard (Frank Farmer?), and a massive limo for the night. Dinner is at a fancy place too.
This is the life. This is my life, aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
In other news, I’m blogging from iPad and it’s not going as well as planned. Adding photos is harrrrrrd. So many good ones to share too. Gah, getting me frustrrrrrrated. Check Raymi’s blog to see pix until I figure this crap out. Rarrrrrr.
This was a very exciting time of year for me. In the past three months I’ve been in San Fran, LA, Boston, Dallas, and Puerto Rico. Last year my New Years relolution was to reavel more and I deff made that a reality.
These are some of my fav things from the last three months of 2010:
I was a spokesperson and got my first national gig and hosted an event in Young/Dundas Square.
i love going back and looking at my archives, it’s amazing how much you forget. for me, it is a really good reminder to make the most of each day, smile, be positive and keep motivated. you never know what you can achieve when you put your mind to it.
lots happened january – march 2010, here are some of my favs:
