SPORESgirl   Vancouver, BC   310 days till my birthday. I dare you to drink some vinegar I'm 28. I watch a lot of television. My favourite show is Murder She Wrote (that's not a joke), closely followed by Matlock, Monk, Nero Wolfe, 30 Rock, One Tree Hill and The Simpsons. I guess I took a 2 year break from here. But I guess I'm back because I'm bored and perhaps miss being part of an online community...or I'm just looking for a distraction because my husband works out of town a lot and I'm not digging this homework that I have to do for stats. I've been in many university programs, I love education and have a love/hate relationship with academia.I strongly suggest you read the book "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" by Gabor Mate. And if you knew me before you'll be pleasantly surprised (or maybe not) that I'm mostly a nurse but sometimes a graduate student (right now in Health Science at SFU). I'm mostly from Calgary but I've been in Vancouver (again) since April of 2008. I watch too much television and am a graduate school drop-out. I strongly disagree with those who either go with the flow or don't give a fuck about the social injustice of the world. I love people. Is it fair that 1% of the people of the world have th majority of wealth? Of course not, but I strongly believe that if we work together we can make this world a better place...and that shit isn't don't through watching Oprah and Extreme Home Makeover, reinforce consumerism and the "American Dream" under a facade of charity. I long to communicate with the world and education everyone about social issues. Is this a tool for that...or is this another distraction? Love, Michelle D. p.s. If you want to be friends, it's entirely possible...let's be friends...let's exchange ideas.

I'm a year older

2009/12/17 22:22 Addictions is not a lifelong disease, it is something that has a beginning and ending and maybe when that seems clearer then it's easier to picture life beyond addiction. Work today was crazy. I think I'm starting to like it a little bit more there every day, although my level of anxiety is very high all day. I like helping drug addicts...and you know what? I really don't have any spiteful vengeance like some of my coworkers do. Is it because my father was an alcoholic (I say was not because he stopped being an alcoholic, but because he is dead now)? I don't know. Today I am 28 plus one day. Tomorrow night I fly to Calgary. I'm happy. Love, Michelle D. p.s. Trevor is tattooing me on Tuesday. He works at a new shop now...Rock n Roll Hair Salon? Or something to that effect...Also I want to learn how to pierce...Does anyone in know how I would go about doing this? I'm an RN so I know stuff...and I do like jamming needles into people.

Waking up early

2009/12/11 21:20 My favourite shift is the evening shift. It's short, I don't have to wake up early, and I would usually get to leave an hour early because all the patients would already be asleep. Unfortunately all the shifts are Detox are 12.25 hour shifts. Tomorrow will be my fourth day in a row. I have done many of these 4 day stretches in my short time at Detox and I must say I hate them deeply. Today there were only two of us. Baseline staffing is 3 nurses during days but for some reason if we're short one and can't find someone on straight time then we only go to overtime if we're
