hi peepz! well, i’m back…sorta. had a great time in toronto (thx, bindras!!) and am back in the swing of things at work. i’m not back on this blog yet tho, cuz i don’t wanna just post bs entries.

but anais nin is cool as sh*t — she’s one of my favorite authors and a very sassy and intelligent chick…hmm, sounds like a lotta women i personally know!! she also wasn’t afraid to speak her mind and think differently (yes, it’s differently, not different like in the grammatically-challenged apple ads from a few years ago. but, i digress. here are some fabulous quotations from anais (mizz nin if you’re feisty). yes, i’m corny. but i have the best intentions. below are some of my faves.

“Good things happen to those who hustle.”
“How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.”
“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
“It’s all right for a woman to be, above all, human. I am a woman first of all.”See, I told you she is the sh*t. It’s like she is in my mind!!
(“AHHH! Get out of my head! Get out of my head!” – Chris from Family Guy).
