 I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible.

My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984. |

I haven’t had this happen more than once or twice in my life [...] When i was a little kid, i used to spend an inordinate amount of time weaving paper together to form rug-like designs. I remember doing this particularly for holiday cards at Sunday school and even taking out a book from the McCaig library in order to hone my skills. I never managed to create anything [...] Image via Wikipedia Trying out StumbleUpon, i encountered a lovely set of Street Installations by Mark Jenkins. Whimsical, witty and yet stunning i was mesmerized. They reminded me that i need to spend the next couple of months in Toronto going to the theatre, arts shows and other cultural events i don’t normally manage to find [...] Earlier this week, i got a referral from We Feel Fine. I had never before heard of them and promptly put aside my paper writing to go check it out. |
