i'm really hoping i have fun this weekend. i need a healthy dose of it. maybe even an unhealthy dose of it! lol my last two weekends reeked.

saturday looks like it might bring karaoke which is sweet because everyone always gets way too into it haha





(pssst: i miss my long hair)

workin hard for that money

so, the thing is. i need money. a lot of money. well, maybe not a lot, but as of now i don't have enough. enough for what you ask? life, basically. school mostly. and i want to move out and get a car and travel. travelling will probably come first though after school is over. one more year to go.

i always told myself i wouldn't work with food. but gosh darn, i think that's my next step. i'm gonna apply at some restaurants soon. it'll hopefully make me more mula then what i make now (although i'll keep my job i have now for once a week kind of thing because i love the job/people). plus if i get a job at one of the restaurants by the mall, it will be a heck of a lot closer. aka not 1 hour bus rides to work.
we'll see how it goes.

i hated the hours in rogers and how boring it was. but i did like the fact i pretty much got paid to hang out with my friends, do crafts and watch movies. i miss the regulars. there was the really muscular guy, the group of guys craig and i always got who rented futurama and such (who we're friends with in non-work life now), there was the guy and his gf who rented shark vs. eagle upon my suggestion and didn't like it (i felt bad), bye mitch, and my fav regular: curly haired mop top boy who i thought was 18 but turns out he's 23. everyone i worked with knew i thought this boy was dreamy (mostly because of his hair), and shawn made a point of finding out how old he is because we all debated it, and he texted me right after he found out lol. craig ran into him a month or more ago and asked him how old he was too. he probably thinks all of us roger's kids are quacks. lol just major creepers. sweet.

just some things on my mind

oh hello, i didn't see you there!




i don't know what it is about him, but adrien brody makes me drool. hummana hummana.
only a little bit less when he has silly hair.


i'm not really sure how it works, but you add this thing to your bike and it leaves a chalk tail for up to 20 miles! pretty pointless, but pretty none the less. called contrail.


some art i saw way back. don't remember who it's by.


look at jemaine all babed out


i've always wanted to have an excuse to jump in mud and get really really dirty.


meow meow meow. i think its funny how if someone bumps into you, both of you say sorry. we say sorry a lot. for things like that anyway. if someone steps on your foot, both of you still say sorry. it's weird. but nice i guess. i dunno why they changed our motto from friendly manitoba to spirited energy. now we sound like a haunted province.


this was recommended to me on amazon.com. apparently i have a lesson to be learned.

liar liar

sometimes i say waaaay too much.
that's probably why i'm a bad liar.
if someone asks me something, all i can think of saying is the truth. in vivid detail.
so sorry if i've ever given you way too much information.

p.s: i've been battling with my left elbow all week. so far the elbow is winning. and no, this is not a weird metaphor, my elbow just hurts.

i hunted down the song in the (500) days of summer trailer.

weird dreams part II

i had several dreams this morning. first dream: i was talking to an old boyfriend and he was telling me about all the boys he'd slept with recently...18 of them. i told him he was a man-slut and was probably breaking a lot of man-hearts. then somehow i was outside of his friends house and it was summer. i met his girlfriend and she was talking about how great he was in bed. then he heard i was outside and came running out of the house to see me, and he was dressed to go golfing. his shirt was neon orange and had the shape of a tea cup around the middle (as pictured above, because i think it deserves a visual representation lol). i don't remember much else of that dream. i remember he was about to tell me something and i then i woke up. i remember being bummed i woke up caz he was going to tell me something i wanted to hear.

dream two. i only remember fragments of it. i was in washington and walking by the white house, right below a balcony window with my friends cousin (i think) and winnie the pooh (in cartoon form) who was holding a bag. we look up at the balcony and these two guys lean over and wave down to us (one of them was supposed to be obama) and winnie the pooh and i took their picture, then kept walking. i think we were trying to steal something or save someone. then i remember being in a place that kind of looked like walmart but the isles were really long and the stacks of shelves went very high up. i had to run through these isles with the people who were with me, i think it was craig, kelsey and craigs cousin erik. on the shelves were tons of necklace chains and we had to grab all the gold ones. erik and i are running around trying to grab all the necklaces we needed when on my walkie talkie craig told us to get down and watch out. so we ran and dove onto the floor and i tried to protect who i was with (now i'm with a girl but it wasn't kelsey) and i throw myself over them expecting a giant explosion or something, but find out over my walkie talkie that the bad guy andrew (an old boss of mine who i'm actually friends with in real life) has come to get treasure or a weapon or something and we spy on him from around the corner. then i woke up.

dear me,
what is going on in that subconscious? your dreams are messed up.
yours truly,
yourself.

p.s: if you ever actually think about the names of things like "walkie talkie" the names are pretty silly. "hmm what should we call this thing that you can walk and talk with at the same time?!"

this looks like i might like it. both zooey deschanel and joseph gordon-levitt are babes, so that always helps. i used to watch 3rd rock from the sun just to watch that fella.

perchance to dream

i had the dorkiest dream last night. i was bella (from twilight) and i was trying to save edward (also from twilight) from evil vampires who didn't want us to be together (pretty much the premise of the twilight series). at one point we were surrounded and i used my magic wand to stupify the evil vampires(yup, that's a harry potter reference) and then picked up edward and ran home where we fell asleep on bunk beds.
technically i guess the dream could have been a lot dorkier, jaime and adam weren't there teaching me how to bust myths or anything, but i'm a little ashamed to be mixing twilight and harry potter into the same dream. in all fairness though, robert pattison played both edward cullen in twilight and cedric diggory in harry potter...

funny things

so i think i have an explanation as to why i'm a fairly awful story teller. it's because i'm pretty animated when i talk about anything, that people expect my excitement is due to what i'm telling them. so they get excited, and get their hopes up for a doosey of a story when really i'm just stating facts about my day. it also might be because i find everything interesting and everything is not interesting to everyone.

the other weekend, tim told me he imagines that when i tie my shoes i'm extremely excited and expressive. the comment came out of no where (or so i thought), but maybe now it makes sense why everyone laughed and nodded in agreement. is it really that bad to get excited about talking?....maybe. maybe that's why i get hired in retail. since working in the dress store especially, you have to be super pumped about everything.

my dog just drooled all over my sweat pants, gross.

it's odd that people tell me i'm funny, but tell me i'm awful at story telling. and yet, i know people who are unfunny, but amazing story tellers. how does that work?!

i think my sense of funny is a "you had to be there" type. i remember once kelsey and i laughed so hard we couldn't breathe and we were crying....because of the tassels on a blanket...
easily amused. but hey, at least i laugh a lot.

here is a tatse of things i found funny. someone posted them on fb i forget who:

words are meant for reading

(via upon the mountain top)

"Just because everyone really does live a life full of farewells doesn’t mean you shouldn’t at least realize what it really means to say goodbye to something that meant everything. Just because you will survive and get over it doesn’t mean you should let it go."
via apologies

i was thinking about it today, and i really don't regret getting close to anyone even if it ended badly. some guys have treated me wonderfully, others haven't, but ether way, i don't regret any of them. no one is a waste of time, everyone is an experience.

my friend was telling me yesterday that a guy he went to high school with got married this summer in italy. it was a naked wedding. wouldn't be my first choice, but i think it would have definitely been something to go to, once in a life time thing (unless you have lots of exhibitionist friends getting wed). i can't wait til i'm done uni, then i need to just go get lost for a while. i still want to do a swap to scotland or ireland.

it's odd how songs can make me feel a certain way really quickly. right now crosses by jose gonzales is playing on my ipod. i have it linked to a really random memory that's not work safe so i wont explain. i don't even really know why it's linked to that memory. anyway that story wasn't even my point, my point is i really really enjoy music sometimes. this morning on the bus i was choking back tears, because of thoughts and the songs, but on the way home, i was in such a good dance mood and the music suited that as well. i wiped out on the ice, i'm sure to have a killer bruise soon. i really like dancing when no one cares what you look like. at transformers last year that was probably the best dance experience i had, no one cares at all what anyone else is doing, every ones involved in their own world and everyone just kind of moves. it's cool, i may go this year but my friend who i go with can't come, so we'll see.

hey remember my goals for my reading week? start a painting and finish a book? ya haven't started either.

i thought i had a doc appointment at 10:45 at my uni this morning, but i called to cancel (because i was too tired o get up) and they told me my appointment is for next month. ugh. so, i'm glad i didn't bus an hour to get to an appointment i didn't have! i did have to go to the dentist though which i hated every minute of. the lobby smells like vinegar...why? i have nooooo idea.

goldin universe

i took this color personality test thing online, i found it to be pretty accurate, give it a try.

i think i really like this song. the city by milosh.


my next tattoo(s) will either be a feather or two more birds like this.




i'm hanging out with a friend today i haven't seen in 8 months. i don't know why we make it so long in between, but that's how we work.

two oh one

emptying my blog pic folder:








pics from a variety of places including epicly later'd, carl kleiner, and upton the mountian top, etc.

200th post

i hope you all have a fantastic day!

thought this was a funny quote for vday yesterday:
"Two people can be perfect for each other but if the timing’s wrong it’s never going to work out. Bad timing is the reason that most normal people end up single. Weirdos and creeps are single cause they are weird and creepy but people like us are single because of bad timing."

lol :)

spring break

my goal over spring break...start/finish a painting and read a book for fun.



maybe one day i'll actually finish this one! i did the creature in the egg a while ago, all that's left is the lamb things face and i need to figure out what i want to do on the bottom, originally i was going to cut it out, but that was back n high school when i had the equipment. lol i think i started this in grade 11...4 years later...still unfinished..

-Rules of Attraction

i liked this a lot. i didn't think i would, but i did. it was weird, it was funny, just all around pretty decent.

i also watched Bully. it was really good, but pretty disturbing. left me feeling weird tonight, lol definitely not one for bringing on the good moods. i didn't realise how many actors i knew were in it. aka i didn't know michael pitt was in it, and i've seen most of his stuff. he does really weird movies, but for whatever reason i like it.

so today i bussed an hour to school for my 2.5 hour class. literally right as class is about to start, the power goes out in the building and class gets cancelled. boo.

it was a pain, but that's ok. i listened to some killer tunes on the way over. liiiiike toto's africa lol wicked. you know you love it.

ray ceasar

read about this guy in a magazine the other day. his work is incredible. really creepy, but awesome. check out more.

film studies

"Someday, someone is going to walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else."
via itsonlythewind

yesterday i had to rent a film for a paper i'm doing on mario bava. it's for my european horror film class, but all of his horror films were rented out so i rented a suspense/crime/thriller of his called rabid dogs. it was not bad.

i also rented bully, and the rules of attraction. (rules of attraction, because a blog i read has been talking about it a lot, and because shannon sossamon is a huge babe.)

i don't like that school takes up so much time. i'd rather be doing something else. i guess i can't complain too much when my homework involves watching films, and classroom time involves discussion of zombies, and spontaneous rhyming comments.
i always think "i'm jealous, that person is in school for FASHION?!" but then i have to remember "wait..i'm in school for FILM?!(and art history)". as much as i whine and complain about papers....i guess it is a pretty cool thing to be studying, i do learn a lot. i just wish you didn't have to write papers.

my problem with papers are that they come with a word count limit. i'm always having to add on pointless babble to fill up the word count.

Worlds Biggest Ant Hill AMAZING - The most popular videos are a click away

neato.

p.s: why are the narrators in these things almost always british?

well look who's all grown up..

nicholas hoult from about a boy, is noooooow a man. he's in the brit tv show skins. i haven't seen it yet, but i'd like to. i've heard its really good.


"goodbye childhood"

the devil's advocate. wicked movie.

in my class "the popular film" one of the guys broke out into a rhyme as he commented on the film. i was only half listening when he started, then realised he was rhyming the whole thing, when i looked over he had a huge grin on his face. my prof started "rap dancing", i'm not sure what else to call it haha. he's an old fart of a proff too. that's one thing you gotta love about film class, you never know what to expect. the rhyme cheered me up completely.

makeover makeover

ahahaha. so i'm being the ultimate time waster this morning before i have to catch the bus to class. i did a virtual make over. pretty much just tried on tons of celeb hair styles, and added some blush/eyeliner/mascara to my un make-uped face in the origninal picture. check it out.

tons of styles:


the best:

i've been wanting to go short for such a long time...this may have convinced me

the worst:

never dying my hair dark again!

the...uh...:

lol why don't i look awful with hillary clinton's hair? i don't know how i feel about that...lol

this one goes out to all the ladies..

...with eyebrow issues.

put the tweezers down and back away slowly. now turn around and run.


eyebrows are supposed to be composed of more than three hairs. i don't know what compels you to pluck your eyebrows into odd angry shapes, but please, just let them be. i mean if you have caterpillars above your eyes, by all means clean it up, or if you have a unibrow like a muppet, then go ahead, clean the middle up. but really, other than that, just leave them alone. you look really weird with no eyebrows. just sayin.

i have no idea why, but this is one of my biggest pet peeves.

"Would you like to run away with me? We can hide away on trains and watch the scenery play like a film. We can hitchhike with strangers and listen to the stories they tell. We’ll make love in a cheap hotel room, and tell the neighbors that they were only hearing the television. We can explore this new terrain and sleep beneath sea stars. We can fill in the gaps of our conversations with kisses, so that we will never know an awkward silence. We can build a home among the thinkers and the lovers. And if you should ever disappear, know that I will disappear with you."
(via utmt, originally from haven't got a prayer.)

i think my blogs pretty much a tumblr now. either way, i thought this was nice. i'd love to runaway and have an adventure, but i'm limited by my schooling. right now i have to wait and finish it. i can't complain too much, i'll graduate uni with a degree by the time i'm 20, i think i can handle that. i have my whole life to adventure.

hi ho hi ho its off to work we go
