[ Edit: I updated my links page with a few more fab blogs, which you should definitely go look at! ]
This is my personal blog, and as such, my most popular category is “Journal.” Recently, I’ve also been using the “Aisling forgot to click a category,” category (take that Uncategorized!), but not on purpose, obviously. Anyway, as of late, the other categories have been becoming antsy in their stagnancy, so I’ve decided to dedicate an entry to some of them! So, here we go!
Blogger- It’s been a few months since I left Blogger spinning on its ass, and it’s been a pretty nice adjustment. Still, I am a bit of a fan of the old girl, especially since they’ve added new features, like OpenID commenting, which means you can now comment on Blogger blogs using your AOL, Livejournal, TypeKey or Wordpress accounts. Just to make things a little bit easier, and less of a piss off for people that hate entering their information for each comment. Lovely.
Exposé- I once wrote an exposé on showering in the dark. I recall I was a little cynical, but since then I have changed my viewpoint on the situation. I now realize that showering in the dark can be an enriching experience, especially with Vanessa Williams blasting from crappy old computer speakers. Sometimes the snow does come down in June.
Info Pages- Back in the day this category was for my “About,” pages, and such. However, the definition of Info Pages changed for me recently when I found Tech Info Pages. It’s just an info page, of tech stuff. And really, how can you go wrong with that?
Katimavik- The last group of the season departs on January 9th. My little brother will be among them. I love Katima-send-off time, because my Google hits go way up! It seems everyone has questions, even though they now send out a little green booklet with the acceptance letters, due to the fact that we all complained about being unprepared in November 2006. To address some of the google queries: you may be homesick in Katimavik, especially around holidays, so it is up to you and your group to make sure plenty of activities are planned. Your group is your best link, as they are also probably feeling similarly. When packing, it is easiest to roll your clothing. It takes up less room. Don’t bring too much clothes, because you won’t wear it all, and you will want space for other cool things you pick up. A good reference and laugh before the program is the book I Was A Teenage Katimavictim! by Will Ferguson. The program has changed a lot, but it is definitely an easy story to relate to, and packed full of giggles. Lastly, we do have showers, and it is not difficult to obtain one! You can create a simple schedule to begin with, and remember that everyone should be taking 10 minute showers. It’s good for the environment.
Kelowna- The best place in Kelowna, BC is Welk Mart. Welk Mart is like the ultimate dollar store. It is stacked to the rafters in a mish-mash of everything you could possibly think of. My favourite purchase was a sippy cup with the Human Torch from Fantastic 4 on it, that said “FLAME ON!” It quickly became my hiding alcohol cup. Whenever we had crazy (illegal) drinking nights, I would use it because it was a) fun and b) hid the alcohol in case our PL came home (they never did, but I was paranoid). We also bought craft supplies and other crap we would never use, without going over out budget of 21$/week!
Old Posts- From my old (and recently revived) LJ, Xmas Eve 2004, about my favourite things: - certain people (certain people kick ass, and i love them to bits. some of these certain people know it…. but many do not… pity.) Well, that is certainly vague Miss early-teen Aisling.
Rachael- The only person with a category on my blog. Ha ha. Ummm… she still owns Calm Banana and is still awesome.
Random Lyrics- Here is the church and here is the steeple. We sure are cute for two ugly people. Anyone But You by The Mouldy Peaches. Go find it now.
Rant- Auuughhh, I am sick of 2008 already! And I am dreading work on Monday. Also, I had to do my laundry, and it took me two days! And my closet was still full! Now, it is extra full, plus my drawers are full, plus I’ve stashed clothes throughout my room to hide them, because my closet is so full! It is intense, and I should maybe do a clean out, but I really do like all of my clothes.
Site- This is my site. What do you guys want?
Video- This video of Sean Paul- Temperature’s Mis-heard Lyrics makes me giggle like a fool every time I see it.
Well, there you go angry categories! I hope this has appeased you. And apologies to the Orleans and Photos categories. You were just too boring to warrant discussion.
