summertime
summertime = way less time on my computer = significantly fewer blog posts lately
my summer vacation so far consists of bff time and mediocre weather.. can’t complain, but i’m crossing my fingers for >20 degree weather this week..
my little sister has a project for history which requires you to find pictures of the holocaust and the great depression and cut and paste a poster.....
on pet peeves..
my biggest pet peeve has to be when girls fish for compliments, or just in general, bitch about the way they look. honestly; to all women in the world; the human body is such a beautiful, beautiful thing, and if you can’t appreciate your body, you don’t deserve what you have. love your body! be happy with what you have, whatever you have, don’t complain about being too tall or...
the sun is shining..
in the past twelve hours i’ve gone from relaxed to stressed to scared to hopeless to ambitious, to stressed to nervous to stoked to excited to laughing and laughing, to upset and scared for my academic life, to nervous, to relieved, to guilty and back to relaxed. that’s basically been my day so far.. now, back to the sunshine <3
on love..
they say love is forever, and i suppose in some ways it is, as much as anything is.. it leaves its mark, that much is certain. but love isn’t forever. please don’t argue and say that if i don’t love this man any more, i never really loved him at all, because i really, truly loved him. love isn’t something that can just sit and be there, love lives, and breathes, it needs to...
remix to ignition..
i love this song, so muchhhh “sippin’ on coke and rum, and i’m like so what i’m drunk, it’s the freakin’ weekend baby i’m about to have me some funnn”
it’s so catchy and fuckin awesome, kudos to the beautiful angela mcpherson for knowing all the words, and “rolling that bodyyy” like she does <3 great weekend girlie
on winking..
i posted a while back about how underrated winking was, and how noone does it anymore, even though it is a cute, charming and subtle little gesture.. well, just thought i’d have to follow up on that by saying i totally got winked at after saying goodbye to a guy i met at a party in my apartment.
it was totally as cute, charming and subtle as i imagined, thank you for that new friend. lol
this conversation i just had with my good friend Mr Jordan Potstra reminded me of how much i love and miss him, and i felt compelled to blog about it, as i sit in my kitchen with nothing else as interesting to do..
Jordan says: (10:24:34 PM)
And because we’ll never date, (because we’re awesome friends) I am entitled to calling you babe, baby, darling, etc and have infinate cuddles...

it's 5:22 am..
so the past few hours have been retarded.
angela came up for the night, and we were well set on heading out to a club, well enough to be dressed for it at least.. on our way back into my apartment after buying mix we were invited to stop by the party across the hall, which turned out to be, considering the size of our apartments, pretty big and pretty loud, which resulted in security coming up...

on waking up to find puke on the couch..
This is gross. I woke up at about 6 o’clock this morning only to discover somebody had totally puked on my couch. Disgusting. I don’t know who it was, I’m sure I’ll find out after some other people have woken up. I’ve got a bad habit of passing out when I’m drinking, and I passed out last night after a few drinks, but i feel like i can say proudly “I...
there's no place like home..
This is the third time (i think) that i’ve used this title for a post.. but the last two times it was about going “home” to Smithville. Yesterday we got out paperwork for move-out of my co-op, and it sort of hit me.. for the next four months i Won’t be living in this beautiful city. I am going to miss seeing the copper cowboy and batman and the white singing angel all the...
long nights, late mornings..
There’s something charming about waking up, walking into your roommate’s room and wondering what the fuckk happened last night? Something funny about remembering ridiculous things we said and did.. something cute about laughing about our mistakes, not regretting a thing, just because we’re young enough that our youth can be our excuse. There’s something cool about laughing...
to fred..
happy birthday you fucker, we had our ups and downs and are now pretty plateaued at indifference, but i’m wishing you well man, happy 20th

44. warm rain
45. walking aimlessly when it’s nice out

49. sitting in butterfield park at school and counting how many people are smoking weed, just chilling on the...
i'm sorta like Tony Hawk..
haha, yeah right, but I am buying my very own, very first skateboard today. On friday i learned how to turn and stand on the board (sorta kinda) and what a manual was, (not that i can do it -yet) but even though i can’t skateboard very well yet, i’m excited to learn, so tonight i’m buying a deck off a friend and getting new wheels and trucks. Living downtown, it seems like...
formspring
formspring may be a cool idea for a website, but it is totally abused by people. The fact that you can ask or say anything you want to people you barely even know and that people use that ability in such a negative way is just awful.
why is it that people feel the need to say mean and untrue things about strangers? does it really make you feel better to say rude things? i don’t understand...
just sayin'
everyone’s prettier when they smile
on weather..
i’m just saying, playing acoustic guitar, chinlone and reading out in the sun for the past week or two has gotten me insanely pumped for summer. friday’s supposed to be 8 degrees, and at first i was sort of pissed when i saw that because it’s so much cooler than the weather we’ve been having lately, but 8 degrees in the beginning of April really isn’t that bad, so...
25 things i want to do this summer..
1. bonfires with marshmallows + acoustic guitar + best friends

12....

Wallace and Gromit
When i was a kid, i never realized just how ridiculous the Wallace and Gromit movies are.. i mean, they’re out of cheese, and decidie, “everyone knows the moon in made of cheese,” so they build a spaceship in their basement, and fly to the moon for a casual picnic, where they meet a robot who wants to kill them.. and when i was a kid i never even questioned it.. ah, the beauty of...
on singing..
i sing when i’m happy, i’ve realised.. when i’ve been having a good couple of days i sing constantly, i don’t mean to imply that i’m good, by any means, but i sing when i’m making food, when i’m in the shower and when i’m playing guitar, which i think i totally play more when i’m happy.. sort funny.. i mean, it makes sense, but it’s funny...
there's no place like home..
i can’t wait for this weekend, and i’m already freaked out about it ending.. i know it’s only three days, but it’s Easter, it seems like it should be longer you know.. i’m just going to try my best to get all my homework done before the weekend so i can spend time with family and friends instead of doing work.. that is what holidays are for, after all. i’ve got...
favourite song of the moment: what a day for a daydream by the lovin’ spoonful, which, aside from just plain being adorable, i like because i love daydreaming so much.. not so much now, in school, when i have a million things to worry about, but when i’m going for a long walk in the summer, or just laying on the beach, daydreaming is wayy underrated, it’s costs nothing, it can be...

i think winking is underrated.. i mean, online it’s used a lot, but in real life, when was the last time someone winked at you? it’s only the most charming, adorable thing ever! and noone does it anymore.. i think i’m going to try to bring it back.. the wink deserves a comeback..
on breaking up.. (last time i post about this, i...
they say that the first serious breakup is the hardest, and i’ll admit, the last six months of being complicated was really rough. i’ll also admit that when we finally broke up for good, i lost it a little bit, but here i am, i think it’s like, two weeks later, and i’m crazy happy, and glad we’re not dragging it out any longer. i’ve got two of the best friends...
you can pay for school but you can’t buy class
Saturday, shmaturday
good morning, it’s past noon, good afternoon i suppose is more appropriate. here’s to a day of reading, writing and other homework-related activities. i bought my first ever pair of trackies last night and i’m rocking them hard, drinking cup-a-soup, not doing my hair, just doing homework.. until we go to zanzibar tonight that is ;)
so fucking stoked →
100 things that make me happy - part 7
43. my best(est) friend, elisabeth (motherfucking) teft. i hope you read this biotch, you make me smile when all i want to do is cry, you make me scream and shout when i’m afraid of my feelings, you make me want to run around and jump when i’m feeling self-conscious and i’m a better person for knowing you. You’re hilarious and quirky, your awkwardness we’ve so often...
100 things that make me happy - part 6
36. the sound of the city if you just lay there with the window wide open and listen
37. when you know it’s pretty cold outside, but you go out in just a sweater and don’t feel cold at all
38. wearing new clothes for the first time
39. going out on dates, i think it’s so.. cool, for lack of a better word, to just go out for dinner with someone you think is cute and getting to...

on beliefs..
i believe in being silly
i believe a messy room is charming
i believe people generally have good intentions
i believe in having faith in what you can’t see, for me, i believe in God
i believe in the power of a metaphor

Brave New World
To Kill a Mockingbird
Slaughter-House Five
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Anne Frank (again.. it’s been ages)
Narnia (the entire series again.. )
These are the ones off of the very top of my head.. any suggestions?
on ideas..
i think some of the craziest ideas were thought up while someone was really high.. feng shui?? clearly that guy was baked out of his mind..
what does love have to do with relationships? i really don’t think it’s got anything to do with them.. i mean, if love is a strong affection for someone, a deep understanding of someone and an admiration for who they are.. i mean, however you want to define it it’s got nothing to do with whether you’re dating or married or living together or not, really.. it’s got...
it’s amazing what they teach you in elementary school.. or at least what they taught me.. i remember this one assignment, at the time it just seemed like a writing assignment, where we were instructed to write a letter to Del Monte because according to one student, they didn’t have enough cherries in their “very cherry” fruit salad cups, and they mislead us by having...
