Do you ever email something to yourself, then see the (1) new email thing pop up and think ‘Ooh an email!’ then think ‘oh yeah that was me’ and then feel a little sad and a lot stupid?

Every time.

Truth. I’ll often close my eyes at a concert, just listening in the dark and wondering if I could live in that moment forever. Bliss.

For continuity’s sake…

I’ve changed my tumblr name from jesstobesure to shakes1327. It made no sense to be using shakes1327 everywhere on the internet except here.

Update your URLs accordingly and let me know if you see any broken links. Happy Sunday!

…and everything else will work out fine.

Canadians voted today…

…or at least 57%* of us did.

I recently taught a grade six class about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Part of the curriculum focuses on how each right has an accompanying responsibility.

Yes, Canadians have a right to vote. We’re lucky. This is a right many around the world do not have. It is a right many are willing to die for. But with that right to vote comes a responsiblity to vote. That is your duty as a member of this democracy. If you do not vote, you fail to uphold your end of the deal. Without your participation, democracy fails.

A classroom full of twelve year olds understood this perfectly. Did half of Canada miss that lesson?

(*votes are still being counted, that number might change slightly)

The Dreamer - Tallest Man on Earth

Love this man. And not just because he’s Swedish. Or because he played my favourite song during the encore so I wouldn’t walk away disappointed. Or because his claims of being “tallest” are clearly false.

I have a thing for ducks.

I’m starting to realize just how much grumpy people bother me. I choose to be happy. You should too.

Sometimes the hardest part of being young is not being able to visualize how much is ahead of me. I was thinking this morning: I probably haven’t even met the people who in 2, 3, even 10 years will be most important to me. That blows my mind. That gives me hope.

A lovely thought. Though there are also many people in my life right now that I truly hope I will still know and treasure 2, 3, 10 years in the future.
