  1. Mine was The Hip at Copp's Colloseum on February 9, 1995. The Odds opened. It was the actual day of my fourteenth birthday. It was awesome!! My sister's friends thought it would be funny to get me high....and they were right.

  2. Mickey, I'm really sorry to hear that. Many good vibes for you and your Mum.

    This spring was the first time in my whole life that someone very close to me died. (I'm very lucky that way) I took a lot of comfort in knowing that Gwen lives on in a lot of ways and that I can still feel her energy around every once in a while. I like to bastardize physics and remind myself that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

  3. I'm glad I'm not the only one on here that reads Ayn Rand. (how do you pronounce her first name? I say it like Ann.) Atlas Shrugged I've read twice. Each time it took me more than four months. I have to take it in tiny little bites and chew over her ideas for quite a while. I think I've combined her ideals with my own sugary, hippie-dippy shit. I like to think that she is basically saying we have a responsibility to be the best person we could possibly be and that is the optimal way to improve the world. I kind of glaze over the ruthlessness of her philosophy.

  4. I bought my favourite book at YYZ. I was thirteen, going on my first flight ever. We were heading to Vancouver and Whistler. I bought To Kill a Mockingbird. I've read it at least once a year for fourteen years.

  5. Reading Lady Oracle by Margaret Atwood right now. It's been a while since I've read any of her work (a year or so, maybe). Thoroughly enjoying it. It's symbolic and cryptic so far, love it!
