(no idea where i found this, but i like it. it has pretty much no relevance to this post but whatever)

"Sorry about the bony elbows, sorry we lived here, sorry about the scene at the bottom of the stairwell and how I ruined everything by saying it out loud. Especially that, but I should have known. You see, I take the parts that I remember and stitch them back together to make a creature that will do what I say or love me back.
...
Here is the repeated image of the lover destroyed. Crossed out. Clumsy hands in a dark room. Crossed out. There is something underneath the floorboards. Crossed out. And here is the tabernacle reconstructed. Here is the part where everyone was happy all the time and we were all forgiven, even though we didn't deserve it.

i think i want another tattoo soon. and by soon i mean within the next few years. i think i want another bird. this time on my other side, maybe, lower side back, pretty much on a love handle. but i'd want it pretty small. that or i should just buy a real bird, i think that could make me happy too.

i also want to bake cinnamon buns. i think i;ll do that tomorrow. if you know me well, you know that they are my weakness. actually i find i'm drawn to any food that you can eat in a circle.

i think i'm going to start a list of things i want to do before i die.

i know what i like, but i'm not sure what i want.

hey blog, it's lauren

air canada!! why do you do this to me?!

i just got a email about a sale they have going on. and it's so tempting! under $150 to go to new york, about the same for toronto, and under $200 each way to go to london. why weren't there deals like this when i actually went this summer?

i'm ridiculously tempted to book myself a solo trip for spring break...
the only thing holding me back right now is the funds...


oh life. why wont you just let me win the lottery already.

things i've learned..

...in canadian film class.

1) rambo is essentially a canadian film. it was filmed in canada, based off of a canadian novel, had mostly a canadian crew, and a canadian director.

2) hitler was nominated for a nobel peace prize.

i thought i'd hate this class (but i took it caz i needed another course and if i want to work in the canadian film industry it would only make sense to learn its history.) i think this class is actually one of my favorites. wicked.


p.s: i almost got in an accident today that would have turned out pretty bad. as in i think the car would have been written off. plus i was in my folks car that we just got back from the shop a few days ago...yikes, my folks would have not been very happy! me + driving (apparently) = BAD NEWS.

jimi (it takes so much time)

i've been listening to this song so much lately. saw her live when i was in england, she has a great voice. not a huge fan of her music, but i like this song a lot. this is the best quality on youtube i could find

o hai ^-^

at my work, when goods are damaged and taking up too much room in the back of the store, we get dibs. today i got a skirt by eve gravel. someone had brought it in caz it was stained...this is true, but A) its hardly noticeable, and B) the skirts reversible so not a problem. i took a look at eve gravel's new stuff for the season. it's not bad, i'd wear it. my only problem is all her models are too skinny for the clothes. we had a bunch of her stuff in during the summer and they look way better on girls with curves.


(can i have this chicks hair? i'm really liking the long and wavy)

the skirt i got:


(fits better on me as a high waisted skirt. reverse side is all black)

p.s: i also ot a sugar container that's shaped as an elephant (it was missing a lid...i'll find a new use for it for sure)
