library exploring

the libraries at my school are huge and i always get lost in them.the first time I went to the 2nd floor library in dafoe, it was at night so it was really dark and eerie and i got ridiculously lost. the other day i had to actually hunt down some books on the 2nd floor and had to use a map to find my way in and out. yesterday i had some time to kill so i went library exploring.


told ya it's eerie. i now understand why a lot of high school/university horror film scenes happen in libraries...


layers upon layers of books. goes on forever.


sorry, i'm still playing with my focus

:) i made this one my pic of the day. Ha!

my school has a star factory.

AND i also took pictures of my dog. because she makes me smile.

jewel's tongue hangs out because she is cooler than your dog. and because she has no teef.



p.s: i've started my 101 goals list. one goal is to take a picture for everyday, and another i'm doing right now is not eating chocolate all month (this is a big deal for me, because i eat chocolate like no body's business!)

image dump






one is by noah kalina, and one is from flickr alaskaneyes. don't remember how i came across the others. all i know if that i think they're lovely, and flight of the conchords should do an episode of pot psychology, they already have the booth..why not!

what the heck..

i KNEW this would happen. my old camera started working again on it's own. it's been busted for 6 months. i even took it to a camera shop to get it repaired and they said they'd charge for $90 to get it fixed. instead i just bought a new camera.
two weeks after buying new camera..the old one works. lol. oh life.

it doesn't really matter though, even when my old one was working i wanted a new camera. and i really REALLY like my new camera.

ALSO: i finished my last paper! it's a page shorter than it was supposed to be and i don't think i'll get good marks on it. my brain was just essayed out by the time this one came around. i hope i get a decent mark still...i worked really hard on it. :P

i'm excited for life to start up again now tha my essays are done! friday i think i'm having a work girls outing, saturday i'm having an all-my-friends-come-out-to-the-toad-caz-i'm-done-my-essays-and-can-have-a-social-life-again outing. then next week i got invited to a frat house beach theme party. it will be interesting to say the least!

p.s: i just walked into the office and my parents were singing/grooving to play that funky music white boy...lol. weirddd.

where's the rainbows and butterflies?



remind me next school year not to take a lot of disturbing subjects in one term. essay writing has not been cheery.

essay one: of the film c.r.a.z.y a coming of age story. easy peasy, not a big deal.
essay two: about the fusion of sexuality and death in horror films. mostly talked about zombies, necrophilia, etc. kinda twisted.
essay three: art history paper about rogier van der weyden's last judgement altarpiece for my art and death course. so basically i talked about the rising dead, dying people, the apocolypse and hell.
essay four: basically about evil in relation to a child in a family situation. i'll be talking a lot about rebellious teens in the exorcist and carrie, the horrors of childbearing in the omen and rosemary's baby, and how adults fear children because they expose the flaws in adult society.

yup, cheery subjects.
i think i should take a course next term on everything wonderful.
no more gruesome stuff for me for a while thanks.

in my euro horror class, we just watched the movie The Beyond and in it is a scene where for whatever reason, tarantula's crawl out of a fireplace and then slowly eat a man's face off. it's was gross.
the weird thing about the horror film class is how much everyone laughs during the movies. mostly because they get pretty ridiculous and we're all desensitized now i guess. if the reaction of my class to certain gore scenes in a film was taken out of context, we would all appear so twisted lol.
my death in art proff welcomed us into the course by saying "well aren't you a twisted bunch". lol it's a super interesting course.

eye am watching

i'm still pretty amused by my camera, so you'll just have to put up with me for a bit :)

california dreamin'


more weird dreams for me!

one part of my dream last night i was on a scavenger hunt in england with these two girls but we were all about 13. actually wait i just remembered more! i was in a helicopter with kelsey, gem and emma and we jumped out somewhere in the italian desert (i didn't know it existed either lol) and landed on the ops of these huge trees that had the same feeling as old broccoli (kind of rubbery) and then we climbed down from the tops of the trees into a big sandy desert and there were a bunch of other people there, and THEN we went on a scavenger hunt or something. but like i was saying, i guess they changed into two 13 yr old girls and so did i. so we're running through this big open field somewhere in a forest and we see this old teddy bear and something else that we need for the scavenger hunt so the three of us split up and run different directions into the field i go to the bear and around the bear there are tiny starburst candies (well that's what they looked like anyway) so i yelled to one girl asking if we needed to pick them up and she was a bitch and said yes rudely. so i pocketed as many of the candies as i could carry and grabbed the bear. then my cell phone started to ring. i had been waiting for a call all day from kelsey to find out if we won the trip to barbados and the bitchy girl picks up my phone then closes it and i miss the call. then i swear at her and wake up.

ion real life kelsey qualified to win a trip to barbados on the radio (she was bringing me if she won) and we found out this morning who won...apparently a girl named stacy. boo stacy.

another dream i had last night:
i was on america's next top model and was doing a competition, but it wasn't a model competition, it was a wig cutting/styling competition. i had a red wig made out of sparkly ribbon, and i was cutting and curling it but we ran out of time. everyone had to go outside the salon and the judge nolay (dunno if that's how to spell his name or not) who is the chubby bald one with the glasses, came out and modelled the wig. i got complimented on mine. then the host (who was originally nigel barker, then changed to brian from project runway and then turned into hugh jackman at the end) was talking about something and this cute boy comes up, and hugh jackman walks into the salon, grabs a pair of scissors and starts cutting the boys hair and tells us that he has a son who he never met, but who sent him a letter saying he was going to come get his hair cut one day. so we found out that was hugh jackman's son.

next dream:
i had a lot of library books overdue that i had to get to the right library but people kept telling me the books were theirs and i lost track of the books and was scared i'd have huge fines.

and then my dream from two nights ago:
it was my first day of school and i had forgotten to print off my schedule so i had no idea where to go. i stopped by the computer lab to see if i could use someones computer to check my schedge. i asked this asian guy who was typing on a computer if i could borrow it for a sec and he said sure, but he just needed to finish typing something. so he sits down at his laptop and types about 30 pages in two seconds. i asked him how many words he could type a minute and he said 10 456 words. i asked him if he had a Guinness world record. i don't remember his answer. later i was walking across campus and i had somehow pissed off the speed typer and he was now dressed in a big blue m&m costume. i could see him talking to security so i was hiding behind a wall, but then he saw me and so i booked it because he started chasing me (he wanted to beat me up). and so i ran onto a bus to hide with these two guys who were also running from the blue m&m guy. we went to the back of the bus and there was a drug deal going on. then i became best friends with the two guys and another guy who was 17 that apparently also got on the bus with us.

i have the strangest dreams. it's funny caz i can pick out some things from my dreams that happened in real life.
-in last nights dream, obviously the trip phone call thing was because i really was waiting for that phone call. the broccoli trees i think occurred because at vanessa's place last night when we were ordering food and vanessa asked what people didn't like, chazz said broccoli and i thought that was weird and though of old rubbery broccoli. i love broccoli fyi. maybe gem was there because she is on a real life travel adventure right now. the teddy bear part of the scavenger hunt looked like the stuffed animal i saw on the show ace of cakes that they were making into a cake.
-i was watching americas next top model before bed so that explains that. then i was reading vouge and they were talking about the sexiest men, one being hugh jackman.
-i also have a bunch of library books out right now from my school and if i lose them the fines would be insane.
-and the dream from two nights ago, i've been typing essays recently so maybe i secretly wished i could type 10 456 words a minute? the blue m&m costume comes from vanessa showing me old pictures and there was one of her friend steve at a halloween dance dressed in a blue m&m costume and she said "i bet he regrets that costume choice!" and then later that day i saw pictures of people standing with mascots and i remembered how much i hate mascots which is why i probably ran like hell and thought the fast typer wanted to beat me up.

these dreams and analysis come to you from the depths of this strange strange mind. the end.
