Veronica's diary (laptop version)

 Something I thought to invent while reminiscing on my Trays (Trent + days) were the Trentds (Trent + trends) I followed with my Triends (Trent + friends). One that has snuck its way into modern (ie. today's) lingo is "life is embarrassing."  The cop [ja] or drop [nee] committee 2026 (aka "yay or nay," "boom or doom," "in or out") has voted to drop/ nee/ doom/ out "life is embarrassing" because, well, let's embrace the cringe this year – things are only embarrassing if you let them be, this is indeed true, I have recently realized. Now I will share a story of how I recently overcame something that one would absolutely consider embarrassing #resilient #strong. [some of you wonder how I get myself into these situations, I will let you invent your own theories].  Yesterday I was at a going away party for my oldest friend (as in friend I have known the longest). She is going to China for 2+ years. My family doctor is her aunt.  We w...

My new year's resolution = use my blog more? The question mark is there because I am not sure yet. Perhaps I am to do a biweekly update, but considering I haven't written anything on here since the summer, there may be a lot of backlog to catch the fans up on. Life summary: June 2025-December 2025 – Life is crazy: I did things, I made new friends, I have played volleyball into obscurity, I am just living my life because if I am not doing that, then what the world is going on? Some highlights of the last six months: the one beach volleyball win + ice cream run (June), cottage max friends summer (July-August), Spain trip (August), 3k race (October), Germany trip (November), 5-week winter holiday (December-January).  Additionally, I have been notified that I have a cult following (I had to search up what it meant tbh), and I feel like I need to set up a forum of sorts to encourage interactions between my people/fans so they can organize ideas and rituals and such. Perhaps a discor...

 Hi everyone. I am not dead (is this how I start blog posts now?, probably). My blog has seen me through some of the most troubling times of 2024-2025 (examples: midterm day 2024, when I thought I was being followed by the ghost of my high school enemy, realizing I work for a mega-corporation and famously, thinking the guy I was into was my cousin). But what have I accomplished? When have I said that life is good?  It is time to play catch up since February. First order of business – people who are so cute I would pick them up and shake them: Jenny (biophysics professor), Annie (boss), Blondshell (popstar), Clementina (neighbour). Speaking of, I was at the Blondshell concert last week and may I say that I was blown away. I kept telling her – "Sabrina! It's me, Veronica!!! You got me through rock bottom in 2023, remember!?" Let's just say she didn't remember me – she was one playing salad away from me collapsing to the floor in the venue and letting out a guttural,...

 How mind blowing is it that February is only a small number of days from being away. Saturday morning I braved the unknown and went to my (regularly scheduled) kickboxing class without my mother??!? Everyone asked where she was and I told them that I lost her somewhere along the way. That was not true. She was in Toronto.  She got home that evening and I asked her if she wanted to play fantasy football with this season of survivor and she got mad at me. Instead of drafting players (which my dad was all for, by the way), my parents watched a documentary about the Vietnam War. I went to bed at 9:45.  At kickboxing, we did sparring... it started with pretending to hit someone, then would proceed to light hitting and then actually fighting. at the start I was ready for actual combat, but the universe had other plans. Without my dear mother present, I had to fight with other people. The guy who stands in front of me, Sam, and I sparred and he was TERRIFYING. I told him I am u...
