I just love the pillow journal… did you come up with that concept on your own? Or had you seen it before?

There is something so facinating about those simple pictures of pillows with head-squishes in them!

I think most people don’t know and are maybe surprised to find out that I like wrestling. I was pretty hooked in high school; even sat 4th row at a Wrestlemania at the SkyDome. I also did an internship there around the same time, during which I got to meet the rock and had my photo taken with “Scotty 2 Hotty”. The photo hung proudly in my locker for many years.
I am not an aggressive person, nor do I find men in tights attractive, so I have never been sure where my fixation began!

awwww… I hate public speaking too. I still hate it. I either end up drawing blanks or start speaking very fast about unrelated things. I remember once back in Gr. 5 when a teacher wouldn’t let me get away with it. and force me to do my speech from the back of the class room (so no one was looking AT you, the teacher thought that might make it easier). I sat in the front of the class room, and I remember dragging my feet and felt like I was going to get beheaded. Of course everyone looked at me as I walk. I remember one boy smiled and whispered “you’ll be great, no worries.” and somehow I got through it!

One thing most people don’t know about me (even the ones that do know forget 80% of the time): I have hearing disability, I cannot hear anything from my right ear. Depending on the noise level around me and where people are speaking to me from, I might or might not hear anything at all. I wasn’t born like this, I lost my hearing due to illness when I was 8. Over the years, I have relearned my sense of balance and how to position myself so I can hear the most of what’s going on. Hence the staying very close to Karyn during classes. Really, I wasn’t just trying to get into you personal space… maybe just a little.

awwwwwww…how cruel and awful that teacher was

You know what’s weird, I hate public speaking but love karaoke.

OK – one thing about me: When I was 16 I bought my first car but I didn’t have enough money for insurance. I tried to save up $$ but by the 2nd week I was too impatient so I went and stole license plates off a car parked in my school’s parking lot. The plates belonged to a car from California which I thought was so cool. I drove around with these plates on my uninsured car for two weeks. Then one of our neighbours finked on me and my dad took the plates off and threw them away. Not one of my more well thought out plans…

It’s shocking some of the things we get away with in the name of education…who thought that experience would somehow contribute to your development as a person?

I once kind-of stowed away on a plane to Bolivia…in some post earthquake confusion about who had tickets and who didn’t.

One thing that most people don’t know about me is that I’m petrified of heights. The thought of going up the tall ladder at work makes me want to cry. I’ve been up the CN Tower, but the ladder is far worse.

Hey! That big caramel-coloured mass in that last photo isn’t a pillow- it’s a Maisy!! She is my favourite dog-friend.

When I was twelve years old two of my favourite things were the movie Clue and Steven King novels. When I think back to my childhood, I think I was a really weird kid.

What exactly is a photo pillow journal? You take photos of your pillows? Odd but interesting.

About me: I love the smell of the forest. I wish I could bottle it in some form.
