I got an invite to go curling for the first time in my life. Nobody there really knew how to play, so we were instead guided by the energies of our great Canadian forefathers and battled through a few rounds of this most social game.
I had a great birthday party with my friends. We played Settlers of Catan, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite board games. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect party!
Broomball. Never heard of it until Carolyn invited me to a wedding shower for Marc and Chars. At first I said that I wasn't going to play 'cause of my arthritis. But about 20 seconds into the game I realized that I was missing out on a world of fun! It wasn't that intensive as I imagined. I hurt today, but it was worth it.
You should all know that I did indeed play the game for about 45 minutes and then decided to film the remainder. I blocked approximately 4 goals. I have no idea how I ended up in net half the time. My team was no where to be found. There was also little by way of comparison between myself and the broom stick.
I'm 25 and I love Canada. These are the thoughts and observations of a university student; confessions of a bi-curious Christian and; observations of a niche Winnipegger. I've been out of the closet since March 2007 and a Christian my whole life. I do not enamor either of these labels. I studied video production in South Africa for my first post-secondary career. I was crowned "Best On Camera Presenter 2003" , and have worked in that field in Cape Town and Los Angeles. Today, I am a student at the University of Manitoba in Environmental Studies. I am addicted to the CBC. This is my life's journey.
