Virgin Comments

HH Quote: “And tell me who’s your housekeeper and what you keep in your house. What about diamonds and gold? Is that what you keep in your mouf?”

My kid sister (the 18yr old) and I were discussing the whole topic of virginity the other day. I believe she decided she doesn’t like a guy anymore [...]

What Kind of Blogger Are You?

The veteran bloggers have probably seen this already, but I’m new so here’s my result:

And that’s why they read your posts as often as they can!

What kind of blogger are you?

Credit where it’s due: I found this on caoimheb’s [...]

An "Ian Clone"

Last night I didn’t get to put in an entry because I was pretty exhausted. I went to work, went to the gym, did some kickboxing/jiu-jitsu sparring with Craigie, got home, showered, bought a nice fish+chips supper for the family and finally, while watching “The Day After Tomorrow” (which I will review later) I fell [...]

How much are you worth?

Tomorrow at 17:00 I find out if I’ve made the final round at ICBC. I’m a little nervous. Wish me luck!!!

I thought this was a Sri Lankan expression since I’ve only ever heard my parents and grandparents use it. I just found that The Dog in the Manger is a fable.

Dog in the manger (n): an ugly-natured person who prevents others from enjoying what would be an advantage to them but is none to him/her.

Hip Hop Quotes

I completely forgot last week’s hip hop quote, and I almost forgot it again today! Here’s the answer to the one from 2 weeks ago (which I’m surprised no one got!) and the new one:

“I guess I was a combination of ‘House of Pain’ and ‘Bobby Brown’ – I was humpin’ around and jumpin’ around!”

Gems in Scotland

From now on, anyone who gets added to my link list will get an appropriate introduction. Fine. I’ll make some retro-active introductions later of those already on.

I was speaking to Em this evening about my trip to Sweden. Em is the cute girl who was recently in my Summer 1 classes. She’s a very bright [...]
