i love love

just watched charlie bartlett and was pleasantly surprised! lots of degrassi actors in it, i'm guessing it was a canadian film, which makes it even more of a surprise that i liked it so much :) the story's not the same at all, but from the start i caught influences of harold and maude and then sitting by the piano, charlie and his live interest start singing "if you want to sing out, sing out", and they had me. it was cute, if you watch charlie bartlett, don't go in expecting tons, but it's definitely worth a watch!
(just checked [via imdb.com] and it's not a canadian film technically, but it was all filmed in canada, hence the amount of canadian actors)

p.s: i would love to hold hands and skip/dancelikenobodyswatching in a meadow right now. gee whiz, movies make me love life. even though they're scripted, sometimes they are so spot on. or at least sort of, but intensified. even still, i love love movies and i love real love. love love love love.
p.p.s: ten days until england!

oh dear..

so now that i've moved on up to frckstr to work, a place which sells all dresses, i'm supposed to now wear...all dresses. not a problem at all seeing as how i love dresses and would love to wear one everyday! the only thing is, i can't afford any of the dresses we sell right now, and all of the dresses i have are from other stores in os so i i can't really go around reppin someone elses store now can i? hmmm. so today i threw together an outfit. i'm wearing my navy dress from joe (aka superstore) with a scarf from ootb (reppin my work a little), and a red belt from the 80's or something from my mom's closet.



now my problem is, i can't tell if i look cool and put together, or like a big mess! yipes, i'm going to give it a go i guess, because the only things dress/skirt related i have from my work, i wore last week, i have to at least wait til the end of this week to pull em out again...

this is how i've felt all day.


also, this is work by brian dettmer, he cuts up books, kind of like an autopsy, and show's you whats inside. when i saw these, it blew my mind, i don't know why, but i think this is he coolest art i've seen in a while.

13 days to go...

only 13 more days (holy shit) til i leave for england/bulgaria to see marcus! just realized how soon that is! :D


it's kind of hard to make out, but the pink blog on the left is where i depart from (canada), then the middle one is derby, england where marcus lives, then the last blob on the right is sofia bulgaria!

so the plan (thus far) is, i arrive in england and meet up with marcus and we just hang out (aka i'll probably sleep) for the day, then the next day we fly to bulgaria with his dad, his dad's fiance, his sister, her gf, and a bunch of other people, for his dad's wedding. the hotel we're gonna be staying in looks super cool and i think that it will be crazy fun. then after ten days i think or so, marcus and i are heading back to england where we have a few days to chill and gather our things for our trip to the big chill music festival which i'm super pumped for. then we'll come back from that and just kind of hang out for the last week i'm there. swing by london for a few days and see where he grew up.

i'm scared shitless, but i think it'll be awesome, i miss him a lot XX

seinna vs keira

these two are actualy super cute

gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight, gonna grab some afternoon delight..

i forgot to update, games night was a complete success! there weren't many games played, but that's always a secondary in games night anyway.

these pictures pretty much sum up the night:



canada day was also a success! i was in os for the whole day, from 1-8 working which was pretty hectic but i had fun anyway. around 8 when we started to close up our booth/tent we were all getting frusterated and just wanted the partying to start. dayna, brit, april and i went to april's appartment to freshen up and then headed back into the village to meet up with the rest of the girls. we ended up in the tavern where it got really fun. we had a blow horn that we were told to stop using so it was turned into a beer bong. these 3 people in the booth next to ours fell in love with us all and the couple in the 3 bought me drinks which was wicked. the boyfriend kept pushing me into pictures with his girlfriend so now theres about a million pictures of me and a random couple somewhere on facebook, if you see me, let me know. (its sad that in wpg this isn't impossible, everyone is seperated by max, 3 people, even though the city is pretty large...i guess we're all just really friendly). it was fun though and they were super nice. the drummer from all the kings men (who i go see often at the kings head) was there so i went and talked to him and got a picture with him just because i thought it would be really funny to show kels later because she loves him. it was all in all a great canada day :)
p.s: the boyfriend of the couple looked super familliar but i couldn't figure out who i thought he looked like until this morning...alan tudyk (except younger)


(he's in a knighst tale as the funny redhead who's kind of a prick, and he's also the guy who thinks he's a pirate in dodgeball)

when dayna posts some pics of fb, i'll post a few to show

oh, canada

pretty much, the two places everyone goes to on canada day, are the forks and osborne village. this will be my first canada day working in the village, and i'm getting scared! it's going to be insanely busy. they have me schedged to work til 8, but all the other employee's are saying they doubt we'll stay open past six and then we can go party. i wish i didnt have to work and could just go party. or at least since i do work, i hope i can work in the outside booth so i can see everything that's going on. if you live in the peg, maybe i will see you there! keep an eye out for me and come say hi.
