Vegan Adventure: Tori’s Bakeshop, Toronto

I am writing this from the lovely Tori’s Bakeshop in Toronto. It is adorable, fully vegan and I am in love (not just because soft French music plays in the background on this Sunday morning)

I had a delightful cinnamon bun and an Australian drink called a flat white. And a lovely overheard conversation about living in the coolest cities in the world. Smiles.

Blast from the past

Dear Jenni,

Today is April 12th. It is 5:02AM. This is a web 2.0 letter from yourself.

Summer semester is upon you. This summer you started your: 3rd year courses, your term on the SFSS Board as Forum Rep, the LEAD 2 program, and had many adventures.

I hope you achieved all of your goals, or were led to interesting places in pursuit of them:

• Film an underwater scene.
• NOT become a part of gossip.
• Host a “french” themed party
• BONFIRE
• Go Camping
• Learn to BE LOVE
• Work on your diplomacy

Here’s to you,

Love,

Jenni

What a lovely semester it has been! This term I took dance, acting and writing and participated once again in the SFU Improv Club.

Through improv I have learned many relevant life lessons, such as “being a yes”, accepting offers, supporting others, going with the flow, having fun, listening, being present and more. It was a really fun time this year as I actively maintained our twitter and facebook, posting QUOTE OF THE WEEK to highlight the best one-liners from our practices.

We hosted three bi-weekly shows at the Highland Pub called Funny Monday’s, where we featured improv and stand up comedy (which I am hoping to try this summer). One of them was 2.0 themed, a dream I have had for a long time.

I also got the chance to perform as part of the festival ensemble at the UBC Impulse Festival where I got to meet some awesome people (including the brother of a guy from a TV show!) and see some innovative improv (including two amazing formats: the EPIC [suggestion: mundane task = half hour adventure] and hostage [three improvisors were taken hostage and given a case of beer, for inspiration the improvisors would yell HOSTAGE and a live Skype feed of the increasingly drunken hostages would play for a while, inspiring the cast to improvise more]).

I am really lucky to have such a funny, awesome group of friends.

Psalm 30: the love edition

Inspired by Truly Tanisha : )

god is love

Psalm 30

¹ I will exalt you, love
for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
² I called to love for help,
and love healed me.
³ Love brought me up from the realm of the dead;
and spared me from going down to the pit.

⁴ Sing the praises of love, faithful people;
praise love.
⁵ For anger lasts only a moment,
but love’s favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.

⁶ When I felt secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”
⁷ When love favored me,
love made my royal mountain^[c] stand firm;
but when love hid it’s face,
I was dismayed.

⁸ To Love I called;
to Love I cried for mercy:
⁹ “What is gained if I am silenced,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
¹⁰ Hear, Love, and be merciful to me;
Love, be my help.”

¹¹ Love turned my wailing into dancing;
Love removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
¹² that my heart may sing love’s praises and not be silent.
Love, I will praise you forever.
