Day 2 of 30: I don’t even know what to say

Day 02 Your first love

I don’t think I’ve experienced love in a way that I would justify writing about… so instead I’ll tell you about a boy from my childhood.   His name was Randy (for serious) and we were in grade one or two together (the years blur, because I had the same teacher in the same classroom and many of my classmates moved up the grade with me).  We used to go over to each others’ houses for lunch.  We would eat KD with ketchup and watch Power Rangers together.  It was lovely.

And then he moved to Kitchener.

The end.

Day 1 of 30: Me!

My dear friend Ronni has been writing “30 Days of Me” and is just about reaching the end now.  I’ve been having trouble keeping up with blogging, or writing in general (a lot of it went into notebooks in the first half of 2010), and I think it would be a great idea to take this up as a writing exercise.  And what else do I do but write about myself anyways? =P

Day 01 Introduce yourself

Okay… Hi, I’m Jess, and I am a time and a place.  I started at a new school about a month and a half ago, so there were plenty of introductions going around.  “I did my undergrad at McGill,” “I’m from Toronto,” “I studied East Asian and Middle East studies,” et cetera. While those basic introductions are important, I think if I wanted you to know things about me that aren’t just facts from my transcripts, I would probably tell you that much of what I am and what I identify with comes from a place and a time.
