  1. I ran away the summer before grade 10 and spent a weekend on some beach near Comox burning logs, drinking Growers and watching people drive jeeps into the ocean until the police put me on a bus home.<\/li>\n
  2. I saw a UFO in grade 12.<\/li>\n
  3. I have had 9 cats (2 are still around).<\/li>\n
  4. I left the best mix tape ever on the train to Stockholm … Morrisey, the Smiths and some Swedish pop.<\/li>\n
  5. My favourite hair colour is blue-black like a comic book character. It was only this colour once and it was very hard to keep up.<\/li>\n
  6. I’m in love with the ocean – the smell and sound and taste.<\/li>\n
  7. My dream house is a boat.<\/li>\n
  8. My favourite foods are mussels and salmon.<\/li>\n
  9. I’m extremely shortsighted so even though I had LASIK and am over 40, I will never need readers.<\/li>\n
  10. I have a extremely high tolerance for repetitive and boring tasks.<\/li>\n
  11. I love live music and wish that I had practiced harder and not traded my violin for pot.<\/li>\n
  12. I agreed to get married at the Radiohead concert in Vancouver in 1998, so even though we were only officially engaged for 5 months, we had know for a long time.<\/li>\n
  13. \u00a0I like the feeling of sore muscles.<\/li>\n
  14. I am a dancing fool.<\/li>\n
  15. I hate washing dishes and matching socks.<\/li>\n
  16. I like standing on mountain tops, but I hate going back down.<\/li>\n
  17. Since becoming a mom, my taste in music has mellowed significantly. Learning to name my emotions helped me understand why I like such angry and aggressive music.<\/li>\n
  18. I tried to be vegan and ended up with lactose intolerance.<\/li>\n
  19. I find that riding my scooter and paddling in big waves are the perfect combination of “fun” and “scary”.<\/li>\n
  20. I am wary of stuff and keep trying to get rid of it, except for unique pieces of clothing that go into the tickle trunk.<\/li>\n
  21. My favourite colour is orange – like molten glass.<\/li>\n
  22. My favourite movies all have puke scenes.<\/li>\n
  23. There is land in Ontario that the Government of Canada carved off of Alderville First Nation and traded for my Great-Grandma’s native status when she married a Scottish colonist.<\/li>\n
  24. I would rather just hang out and drink, but if Settler’s is what’s happening tonight, then I guess I’m in.<\/li>\n
  25. I’m a sucker for a back\/foot\/head massage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
