you make me melt

i've come to realise i'm a sucker for boys with dark features and light eyes. as well as boys with full lips.

and as always, tall/lanky boys.
three things to say:

a) i'm happy

b) yesterday at work while i was on my break i went to the washroom (don't stop reading that's not the story!) and then i walked around the mall a tad and back to my store. when i got back i was informed that my dress was tucked into the front of my tights. hah. what a dope. i like how no one told me and i wandered around like that in public for at least ten minutes. also, how the hell did i tuck it into the front of my tights?

c) girls out there (and dudes i guess too), have you ever seen the movie fear with reese witerspoon and mark wahlberg? what a good movie. it's all about obsessive/creepy boyfriends. i've seen it at least 5 times. there's a scene on a roller coaster that's kind of hot actually. and mark wahlberg is pretty sexy in it...although he turns out to be a maniac. watch it.



(he looks like a douche in both of these, but he's still pretty sexy. and normally i'm not attracted to the muscly type...but for the 90's version of mark wahlberg i'll make an exception).


ALSO has anyone seen the mothman prophecies? i've been told it's creepy and disturbing by a few people, which of course makes me want to watch it. any other opinions on it?

ALSO (k this is more than three now i realise..) what did you think of the new alice in wonderland? i just watched it the other night. i found it pretty corny. i think johnny depp did a great job as the mad hatter, but there were some really lame parts on it. aka the dancing scene. it's like they threw in lame bits to make kids laugh although i wouldn't really say kids were the target audience. thoughts?

spoon in the moon

18.1 miles aka 29.1 km aka the length i biked last week in 30C heat. it was insane. but felt good.

know what else is insane? my memories from may long weekend. a ton of my friends and i headed out to gimli on saturday to see a few of our friends bands play. it turned into a great trip.

9-10:30pm: hanging out at the pub socializing/waiting for the show to begin

10:30pm-2am: i lose track of time talking with someone about philosophy and quantim physics as well as a bunch of other random subjects. it's now pouring rain and everyone is looking for a new party location because the pub in closed. we make a mad dash to my car and end up at my friend brett's place.

2am-5:30am: again...no idea where the time went. the party was happy and strange. people got to different stages of undress, others were doing gymnastics, some were braiding hair, and others created a sing-a-long in the kitchen. i had to step outside for a bit because the night was taking its toll on me, people get overwhelming sometimes lol. the birds were chirping up a storm. a friend and i decide it's time to navigate to our sleeping grounds. we get sort of lost.

6am-8am: sleep doesn't really happen. it's more giggling and talking.

8am-9am: i think i might have slept. but now i'm awake.

once a few more people joined me in teh waking world, we went to the beach, out for hangover breakfast at a greasy spoon, then back to the beach for the rest of the day. all of us got sunburns.

boring story. but i had a really good time.

yeah, a tunnel, from my window to yours



hmm hmm hmm. this song makes my heart swoon. a local band does an amazing cover of this. i'm hoping they put up a recording of it soon, and when they do, i'm going to listen to it on repeat.

the weather in the city is insane right now. high of 29 today. i'm going on a bike adventure and may be adding some new decoration to my body if time is on my side. we'll see. wish me luck.

hawk squawk

one thing about me is that i love dreams. i love hearing about people's dreams and telling people about my own. not everyone shares this i've realised. my family kind of teases me about it because apparently i talk about my dreams a lot. i tend to remember a lot about my dreams. i'll remember tiny details and it seems i remember the entire dream start to finish. since people don't always find dreams as interesting as i do, i've taken to keeping a log of dreams (when i feel like it/find them interesting). i haven't reread any of them yet, i started keeping track on January 14th 2010. i think i'm going to go back and read them all at the end of the year.




i only remember a teeny tidbit from my dream last night. i had a mohawk (much like the one above, except a bit longer, blonde, and slightly curly...so ok..maybe nothing like this. but look at jena malone she's pretty!), and i remember thinking i looked really cool. i think i was at a house party or something like that and there was a new boy who was at this party and we were both fairly punkish and he had a bunch of tattoos. i kept brushing my fingers through my hair.

did you knoooooow...

i'm sick of dying my hair. i'm very very tempted to dye it one last time all my natural color and just go with it. only thing is i get bored fast. and i think i'm better looking blonde. and i want to try dying my hair red.
all in due time i guess.



(both by atemisia gentileschi; judith slaying holofernes, and susanna and the elders.)
for my summer course i'm taking women in art. it's actually pretty interesting so far reading up on the ladies of the renaissance right now. did you know during the renaissance a women wasn't allowed to wear underwear unless she was an actress, prostitute or a window washer? also, if you were raped, the only way to regain your purity and erase the crime was to marry your rapist. the middle ages were messed.

lonesome homesome



oh hi there.
i wish i lived within walking distance of my friends. i really want someone to come over and do a puzzle with me or bake cookies with me. but alas, everyone is about an hours bike ride away and i'm feeling way too lazy for that.
plus i work in the morning. my excuse.
i'll probably just curl back up with augusten burroughs and read about him becoming sober.

random fact/side note: the dress i'm in, i got for free from a clothing swap. if i could wear it every day i would.

also, i may be joining a rec soccer league. mmm.
