WHAT/WHY/HOW

What is your current obsession? Piling on jewelry on my wrists and my fingers, oversize watches, wavy hair, sitting out in the sun to naturally lighten my (desperately in need of a trim) mane, Feather clip-in extensions and Bon Iver

What’s for dinner today? Ribs.
What’s the last thing you bought? Aside from food, I bought Sperry Top-sider shoes in Navy blue.

I thought I was the only one who hated high school. Well at least I thought that I wouldn't meet anyone else who felt the same way.
It turns out I'm not that crazy.

Sometimes you just know that certain things are meant to happen at a specific moment in time.

Today was indeed the day.

~
Also, have you ever laughed as you are drinking water? And all of the sudden, the water that was once in your mouth splashes out and lands directly onto your pants? Then, you begin to cough hysterically as you try to catch a breath for the sake of living? Did I mention, this happens all while you are working? Well, that's never happened to me until today. I blame my easy sense of humour and my lack of "laughter" control. That was a good and bad time. If that makes sense.

Let's hope this never happens again.

But it was freaking hilarious.

Feel-good music after a nice swim.
Now playing: Up Up Up - Givers

No risk, no reward. And so, tomorrow will be the day.

HOLOCENE



This performance makes me happy.
I'm happy that Justin's not only getting the recognition that he deserves. But it's the fact that he's using all of that hard earned money towards more musicians for an amazing live performance.

His music is great. Especially for meditating, thinking and sleeping. I have my mother and my 14-year-old sister listening to Bon Iver, Bon Iver. Well, they have no choice since that's all I've been listening to since I got my hands on the record. Everyone should listen to his old stuff as well, before he was Bon Iver.

He's an all around beautiful man.

love is a sturdy tree

1. I will. I have to. I will.
2. Sperry Top-sider shoes in navy! The fact that they are work appropriate makes me love them even more... Good purchase. :)
3. Sunday post-dinner tunes: all three of Deyarmond Edison records on blast

- I mustered all the courage that I had in me. And the universe simply did not cooperate today. Tomorrow... Again.
- "I had a dream that I was eating a giant marshmallow. I woke up and my pillow was gone." Hahaha.
- The violent tree that was out to get us! "Take that you tree!" Hahaha.
- "Don't you dare flick that thing on meee!!"
- Flying beetles and giant ants make for great friends at lunch time.
- "Don't be a pussy! Grow some lady balls!" Hahaha.
- Obsessed with the new Bon Iver record. It's on repeat day and night. You are a genius, Justin Vernon. You and your talented team! Amazing.
- Angry mothers on the phone are the most entertaining... really? Your son/daughter is a university student and they still can't do anything on their own? And don't you be taking your rage out on me. I didn't do anything!!!

Besides walking on random outings, I've decided to get back into "exercising". So, I took a nice swim in our pool today after work. The water was so nice and warm!

And why am I scared of people? More specifically of you. Well not scared of you per say, but just hesitant to talk to you.
Although this morning would have been the perfect opportunity to talk to you, we just had to be conveniently wearing headphones. WHY.
Tomorrow.

Sunday night tunes and thoughts

I was watching The Invention of Lying today which made me believe even more that there is a God; that there must be a God. I don't think that the concept of God was just fabricated by humans. Where would one even come up with such an idea? It's too surreal for the mind.

Also, it is just as absurd or if not more, to believe in le hasard (randomness).

Spent the day at Woodbine beach with the cousins: laugh attacks, people watching and hot tanned muscular surfer guys watching, men's washrooms, (bad, awful) poutine from Smoke's Poutinerie (sorry, nothing beats Harry's!), encounter with douchebags.
My face apparently has a "sun kissed glow".. However, even with my legs exposed to the sun, they didn't tan! Those stubborn little bitches. I just wasn't meant to tan. So sad.

Three and a half days off from work did me some good. I went to Ottawa to visit my long time dearest friend, Julie. We explored downtown Ottawa (I was clearly the tourist and she was my private tour guide, literally as she is well informed specifically for work purposes), went on a free boat tour and spent a day at Calypso water park where I repeatedly tortured my poor heart. Needless to say, it was a great time! I miss her already. But hopefully our plans to go to New York City this upcoming Winter break will manifest itself!!!

I did do some shopping while I was there: maxi beige and grey striped skirt from Urban Behaviour $9.99, Zara white tee $9.99, Dream Catcher keychain $5, JOE Crochet top $19.99.

It's funny how all these stores are also found in Toronto... But whatever! :) I work hard for my money.

In the end, I got sun burned. I went on some scary ass water rides and I managed to put a brave face on. And I was without my eyes.... God knows I cannot see without my spectacles!

DARLING, BE HUMAN

Disappointed and upset and angry yet again.

But, what else is new?

NOTE TO SELF: Don't allow yourself to get your hopes up or remotely excited 'cause you'll end up disappointed.

This week has been a good week: got paid three times ($$$), received my e-bay package and my Bon Iver package!!!!!!!!

Woke up at 4am this morning because I was thirsty. Of course, I couldn't fall back asleep. And luckily for me, Sixteen Candles was on.
