The Internet guilt-trips me into spending time with her. Seriously, she holds me at emotional gunpoint and says things like, "You spend more time at work than with me!", "We never have any 'us' time anymore!", or the ever popular, "I want a quickie before school!" So I end up giving her a little bit more of my time. I set aside Facebook breaks throughout my study day. I check up on the celebrity gossip before I leave the house every morning. The more time I spend with The Internet, the more time I want to spend with her. Every Wikipedia article I read or write makes me want to read and write more. I would much rather watch Shakira's Grammy performance on YouTube than study ichthyology. I've forgotten to eat meals, I've ignored bodily needs! All because The Internet commands my attention. I've been thinking about changing the scope of our relationship. Not a complete break-up, but perhaps a shift from our marriage to ...

I am SO ready for this week to be over. I have been so busy this week with assignments (I like the word assignments because it starts with "ass" :P) and getting ready for midterms and tutoring and having meetings and on and on it goes. I feel like I got run over by a truck. And it's not even exams yet! My life is so unconscionably boring right now because all I have time for is school. But I have nothing to do for the next 15 minutes before my last lab of the week, so I'm going to start blogging about natural law ethics and see where I end up. Basic idea is this: There are certain foundational principles on which we ought to live our lives. These principles are not made by people, but rather discovered by them. A great deal of western law (particularly with respect to human rights) is based on this concept. For example, most Canadians would agree that slavery is wrong. Our laws reflect this. However, slavery was legal in most of the world for ages, yet ...

Friday night, StFX hosted our third annual drag show! It was blizzarding like hell that night, and we were worried no one would turn out for it, but the place was packed! Every seat that had been set out was filled, and more chairs were even brought in. The show was absolutely fantastic! Highly embarrassing for all the straight men in the crowd, yes. But it was such a laid back atmosphere, and it was nice to drink somewhere besides the pub. High school girls dancing (and badly at that) can only provide so much entertainment. Random tangent: My first glimpses of dressing in drag were in movies: Inspector Clouseau dressed as a "wandering transvestite" in Revenge of the Pink Panther, and Timon & Pumbaa in The Lion King. Then we went to San Francisco and it just became standard. That's my randomness for today! Love, --KM

But, this weekend, I will search through my computer at home and see if I can dig up some more recent pictures of me. Cause yea, ew I don't even look like this anymore!! --KM

Happy 2007! 2006 was an amazing year... I got rid of the stupid people destroying my life, and found out who my true friends are. I realized how loved and supported I really am. Laura and Jordan moved in with me, and they are the best housemates in the entire world!! Janine and I rekindled our friendship as we worked at the coffee shop and painted my cottage together over the summer. Collin grew up a lot (more than my mind can handle!!). He is absolutely the shiznit, and I'm his biggest fan (not literally , but you know)! I got out of Nova Scotia for a bit! I love it here, but the travel bug hits me about every six months or so, and after spending two years in the same exact spot without leaving, I was getting cabin fever. I spent a week in New York in the spring, and Christmas in Alberta. School went well also - I finished Microbiology! I also wrote my MCAT exam, and survived what I pray is the last calculus course of my entire ...
