Smmmmooooooosh


I like YOU very very much. Thanks for the delicious cookies and for just being consistently wonderful.

I am in Barrie for a couple of days visiting with my dad. It's always nice to come up here and see him and Matt, the visit always includes three things: canasta, rye+gingerale, and MOVIES! I occasionally have great love for my family.

My dad and I went shopping today and I bought a new camera, it's a canon G11. I am in love with it. I also bought myself a new purse, I have had the same 10$ purse for YEARS because I love it. It's completely practical and it has been to SO many places with me. It's disgusting now though, I actually fell into a river with it on and my camera, ipod and phone were inside the purse and they (MIRACULOUSLY) stayed dry!!! I hope my new purse is just as magical.

Have I mentioned that I'm completely fucked for January? I'm meant to start school but I haven't been approved for my loan, I have NO savings left, I have NO job at the moment, and my car is sort feeling like a peice of shit. I'm so glad I left the comfort and safety of my life in Korea to experience all this uncertainty.

ADVICE NEEDED: I had a job interview with starbucks on Monday, for some reason the lady that was supposed to interview me wasn't there... she went home sick. I feel like obviously she didn't care enough about my interview to even reschedule it with me... but I drove all the way from chatham to cambridge to do the interview. I'm heading back to cambridge on Friday, should I stop in and ask to see the manager and ask if we can reschedule? OR was this a brush-off???

Merry christmas... ish.

The other day I posted this picture to my facebook page. It's a "good housewife guide" from the 1950's. One of the tips says to:

Be a little gay and a little interesting for him, His boring day may need a lift, and it's one of your duties to provide it for him.

WELL my dad made my favourite comment on the picture:
Albie (my dad): "Thank GOODNESS I'm a little gay and interesting for him, I'd hate to be a bad wife!"
(it's funny because my dad is ACTUALLY GAY! I think I laughed for about 10 minutes straight)

did anyone CALL THIS?

the world is a mystical and magical place.




proof.

Has anyone else noticed that many canadians say "car".. "CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR" like a pirate? I was watching Canada's Worst Driver and I just kept on being floored at how ridiculously accented his AR sounds were.

I like today.

I had coffee with two of my favourite people, I then drove for 3 hours back home (after a weekend of wonderful visits) the entire time listening to music and just singing my heart out. Then I went to my "old dutch lady " choir which is the highlight of my WEEK.

My best friend is currently backpacking all around SE asia and she occasionally will record messages on her ipod and send them to me, today I got one that was basically "what is this GLEE show you have given me!? I love it, and you... quit school and travel with me." [fyi: she came to me the night before leaving with her new ipod touch and was like "please fill this with wonderful things" and I did]

I am currently obsessed with www.holycool.net and all the wonders it holds.

I am crampy and grumpy today. I drove to london to pick my mom up from the airport and I think that being alone in the car was the best possible remedy for my horrible mood. I blasted the most ridiculous music, swore abundantly and drank black coffee. It's a cure-all for me.

I'm going wedding dress shopping tomorrow with my friend kelly and her mom. I feel like my life has become a "tag-a-long" life, I hang out constantly with Hope and Jon (my married couple friends), I had dinner with my friends IN-LAWS the other night, and now I'm inserting myself into mother-daughter-wedding-dress-shopping.

I haven't enjoyed any of the tv I've watched this week. I'm blaming my foul mood. I'm going to give tv a rest for a bit and then try again tomorrow.

You all make me happy. Keep being awesome.

I am watching season one of supernatural with my mom right now and one of the campers from the first little bit is none other than Cory Monteith from GLEE!

p.s. I'm aware I'm most likely way behind the curve on this one.

I want to make him mine.

SUPERNATURAL was especially super this week.

( Prone to wander, lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love )

if anyone cares: Sufjan: come thou font

awkward confession time: I judge the success of my facebook albums by the amount of comments it gets. I have a system, I take the number of comments, divide it in half (because I like to respond to comments, so half of them are me responding), and if it is more than the number of pictures in the album it was a success.

I am awesome. The reason I bring this up is because my latest album from out west is something of a "hit" [122 pictures, 249 comments], while my FIRST album from out west was a "miss" [77 pictures, 75 comments]. I averaged out and am very happy about that.

ALSO, I have a bit of a rash from the glue that kept my mustache attached to my face on halloween.
( pictures, glorious pictures.  )

goodnight.

I am tired.

I went to toronto for halloween and 8 of us, all former teachers in the ROK, rented out a suite and had a bit of a party. We ended up parading our costumes down church street with a bunch of transvestites and drag queens. It was a good night.

I made the mistake of mixing MUCH alcohol with MUCH (very potent) weed. It meant I passed out for about an hour at 10pm, but then I was ready to head out again after that. Emily and I dressed up like 1970's tennis pros... think "the baumer" from The Royal Tenenbaums.

I rode the train home from toronto, for the last hour or so I was seated beside this adorable person. I hate being by people I find attractive, I end up interacting with them in the most unattractive way possible. Plus I still smelled of the spiced rum and ginger ale from the night before. I don't know how he resisted me.

just love.


eta. whoops. I didn't realize it was autoplay.

I just realized I never actually watched the season finale for season 3 of friday night lights... I just honestly DIDN'T SEE IT.

I'm excited to watch it now.

I wish I could be a sucker right now.

Sleep has become rare in my life. I am staying with my Dad and his partner Matt right now and they have this really funky-old-converted-cottage-house thing and it's pretty sweet, BUT the master bedroom has an open-ledge-window thing that looks into the living room. It basically means that their bed time is now my bed time. I wish it meant I fell asleep at 9:30. It means I get caught up reading and watching tv on my laptop and then getting over stimulated and wandering around the internet until I find myself reading random jonas brother's fic and staring at pictures of baby chewbaca.

( see evidence of this baby chewey.  )

[it is so cute it makes me want to cry]

I also got my FIRST real cell phone today. It's almost like I'm a real person or something.

My mom just told me that she hates her knees more than any other part of her body. It's just kind of funny to hear what people hate most about themselves physically, we all have little things we hate and they are so particular to each person. It's kind of fun... and then you have to ask what your favourite little thing is. She said she loves her hands, she has elegant fingers and strong hands despite the rheumatoid arthritis that plagues her wrists.

I personally hate that I have baby hands. They look like they could hold up pampers in a baby commercial, like I could be a baby-hand-double. Most people say "aw, they're so adorable!" and I agree, they are adorable on a BABY.

I love my face. Is that shallow? I don't love it because it's particularly beautiful, I just love that it's mine. I love my stupid mole on my cheek, I like my perfectly proportionate ears, and mostly... I love my nose and it's stupid dutch bump.

I watched Pam and Jim get married today. I cried.

I am addicted to the show Modern Family it makes me smile a lot.

I can't turn it off, it's who I am!

weird.

I am amazed that I can go from feeling like a grown-up independent lady to a 24 year old dork that lives in her mothers basement in the span of 4 days. I am having a stressful day. I spent the day running around and sort of bringing my entire canadian life back up to speed from the past two years (bank, credit card, address changes, ministry of transportation...etc). I then had to file for police checks, pay for my car, get insurance so I can drive that car and then get a student line of credit. HOORAY!

yikes.

Despite all the stress, it did feel really good to get it all done and out of the way. I just am in shock at how my life has gone through these huge changes over the past week or so, it's all a bit overwhelming.

SUPERNATURAL: all caught up and it feels really good. I love this show unhealthy amounts.

I had a dream last night that www.pajiba.com was being sued by Jensen Ackles for trying to interview his dad about his crazy religious ideals.

I woke up and actually CHECKED.
