back to basics

phew. after that little rant, to be honest didn't know what to write here. I've never had a blog so it's a little bit weird! I've never been a journal writing type - I'm more the type that buys pretty journals and will write in them for about a week and lose interest only to let another pretty journal fall victim to the dusty mess of my bedroom floor. That's not to say that expressing thoughts and feelings is a difficulty for me. If you ask any of my friends they will tell you more often then not that I actually need to sensor what comes out of my mouth more and that I am in fact the worst liar of all time. That being said, writing my thoughts out is an entirely new challenge.

So I suppose an introduction is in order. My name is Angela. I looked it up in a baby book when I was little and it means Messenger of God, so in essence, Angel. My middle name is Catherine and that means pure. Clearly my parents had some sort of theme going here.... I grew up in between two small towns in midwestern Ontario - Wingham & Lucknow. And by small, I mean really small. I'm talking 1000 people in Lucknow and 4000 in Wingham, not to mention the closest city is an hour and a half away. I lived on a pig farm (my Dad stopped farming when I was about 7) with my Mom & Dad, brother and two older sisters. For now I'll gloss over those details because now I live on my own far, far away from my small town existence in the city of Toronto and THAT my friends is what this is all about.

That's all for now. More later. ciao
