ramble on

Jessica Evans

Posted on November 30, 2005

When I was a little girl and I couldn’t sleep, I used to get up and walk around the house in the dark. It was fun to navigate in the dark and to make as little noise as possible. I’ve done this in many places in my life. My favourite was my Aunt Leota’s cottage in St. Martins, NB. She and my Uncle Hilliard kept the place as a summer home for a while and eventually moved out there in their senior years. I don’t know why, but I’m … well I wouldn’t call it sentimental, but I’m certainly reflective lately. It’s like my entire memory is playing back for me… considering just about everything that has ever happened in my life. I’m not…

surreality settling down

Jessica Evans

Posted on November 29, 2005

I’m starting to feel oddly calm about my decision. it’s still quite surreal though, I look around at all i have… the fancy job and the pretty apartment… and i think “wow, i’m really just walking away from this.” I appreciate it more already! In other news, I’ve allowed myself to think about the trip i’m about to take. I’m working out dates and where I’ll be when. Depending on how my money goes, maybe i can stay in the SE states for a while… if i can make it through february, i’ll go to the red in march. and if i go to the red in march, i’m not leaving until may. 🙂 ah, daydreams of climbing are coming true! Can’t wait to…

non tylenol-3 induced rambling

Jessica Evans

Posted on November 23, 2005

so yesterday i was playing Damian for the Tetris Worlds household championship, and i was thinking…. why don’t i quit my job tomorrow? it was tough enough to make it into work on Monday, I set a few things up from home to run at the office in the morning and then didn’t make it in until 11am. I just couldn’t be motivated. So then later on when I was syringing my tooth holes (one of the beautiful side effects of being wisdom tooth liberated) I got to thinking – why don’t I quit my job tomorrow? I couldn’t think of any good reason to wait until Thursday… why sit in meetings all week planning for the future when i’ve got resignation on the…

insomnia and the taste of blood

Jessica Evans

Posted on November 17, 2005

so. Here i have arrived in the final stages of preparation. i got my wisdom teeth out today… as long as this goes well and heals without major complication, i’ll be handing in my resignation at work next week.This was my first surgical procedure… my first IV, sedation, tooth pulling… what a day! i’ve heard of a condition called “dry socket” which is essentially when the blood clot that forms in the hole (aka socket) where the tooth was somehow becomes dislodged. apparently it’s extremely painful. so needless to say i’m appropriately paranoid about the healing. i’ve had the taste of blood in my mouth for about 17 hours now, and i must say i would not make a very good vampire. i’m sick…

i miss all the places i’ll never go again.

Jessica Evans

Posted on November 13, 2005

it’s strange… when compared to others, my travels so far have been very minimal. i guess it’s a way that we deal with our mortality – to honestly believe that when we visit a place we like, that we’ll visit again. I just sorted through my maps. For those of you who don’t know, I collect maps. The free ones put out by the ministry of transportation for different states and provinces. I sorted through so many brochures and pamphlets for places that i meant to return to, that i wanted see again… but now i have to admit to myself that these things may not happen. I can now understand what it is that ties a person to one place. This is how…
