I'm a 23 year old from Edmonton, Alberta. And I just had the best b-day ever -- thanxx Chelle!!! It was a blast :) Let's just hope I don't 'make the cut' *l* "I'll have a Cowboy to go, thank you! Oh, that's not what they meant?" Anyway,,,, I'm in my last semester at the University of Alberta, and will graduate with a bachelor of commerce degree from the Faculty of Business. Yeah me! :~ My major is accounting and my minor is finance,,, for whoever cares *grin*. I spend most of my time working and studying these days (and then there's that little thing called hockey *l*), not much more time to goof around on here anymore,,, *pout* I took up white water kayaking last year, after going on a couple of rafting trips for the past two summers. It's a blast but I've been so busy with school that I haven't had time to really pursue it as of yet. That and it's bloody expensive to boot! I'm not sure what I will do once I graduate, take over the world, I suppose. There's really nothing else to do ;) Yeah, OK -- freak!

Lyrics that make me think twice:
it sounds better in french, of course,,, but you'll have to bear with the
translation I guess :)
"Aux malentendus, aux mensonges, ` nos scilences
To misunderstandings, to lies, to our silences
A tous ces moments que j'avais cru partager
To all those moments that I thought I shared
Au phrases qu'on dit trop vite et sans qu'on les pense
To the things we say too quickly and without thinking them through
A celles que je n'ai pas osies
To those that I didn't dare
A nos actes manquis
To our missed deeds

A tous les murs que je n'aurais pas su briser,
To all the walls that I didn't know how to shatter
A tout c'que j'ai pas vu tout prhs, juste ` ctti
To all that I didn't see so close, right beside me
Tout c'que j'aurais mieux fait d'ignorer
To all that I'd been better off to ignore
,,, ` nos actes manquis"
To our missed deeds
