WHO NEEDS CLOTHES WHEN YOU HAVE MUSIC?

CONCERTS > CLOTHES
(WHAT!)

March 25: The Temper Trap
August 2: Florence and The Machine

When "Sweet Disposition" is played, you bet I'll be dancing my ass off...

Il me dira des "je t'aime" et j'aimerai tant ça

Jacques Brel's "Madeleine" has been on repeat.

Maybe I am a 65-year-old woman at heart.

I told you to be patient

"Skinny love doesn't have a chance because it's not nourished." - Justin Vernon.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Interesting and fun night to say the least.

That simply sums up my first clubbing experience. Also, being an avid people watcher, it was definitely a fun time seeing people acting irrationally.

Reading week will consist of reading and writing

Like, actually. I don't understand how people can go to Florida or wherever else and not have anything due before, during or after reading week. It's ridiculous and unfair.

Usually I would love to use my reading week to do the following in no particular order: watch "On n'demande qu'à en rire" at 12:30pm, workout, endlessly browse blogs, catch up on television shows (especially 1 girl 5 gays, Sex and the City), listen to loud music while no one is home, eat, sleep and repeat. Instead I will be working tuesday and friday and doing homework in between.
Reading week starts tomorrow for me. Library date (ON CAMPUS!) at 10am for a project. Then DEFINITELY heading to Zara for the promising end of season sale.
But I am mostly looking forward to Saturday, night out with ma guuuurlz.

How can you not do anything?

Funny moment no. 1213813719821821 at work.

After helping with a rather beautiful male student, a stand-by student, a woman to be exact, asks me the following:
"Are you married?"
Caught off guard, I reply with a sheepish "no".
"Then how can you not do anything when you see a boy like that? He was good-looking!" she gestures where the boy once stood.

Mind you this is a married woman talking to me who is about 35+ years old. Hahaha.

But I agree, he was very handsome à la Edward Honaker sans la coupe de cheveux. Still, he had slickback hair, a little scruff. And he was very nice and tall.

On the bright side, should I see him again on campus I can talk to him.
(Or at least try to... Hahaha)

Quote of the day

"Le joli bougre a abandonné le cours."

Unfortunately. POURQUOI?

And we were served beer in class. Hahaha. The most peculiar and hilarious thing to ever happen to me thus far in university.
Früli beer is the only beer I drink. Thank goodness it's belgian.

Wide awake and it's 12:15am

But I am done writing my second short story. I AM EXHAUSTED.

Grammy's shwammy's

Congratulations Bon Iver for their Best New Artist win and Best Alternative Music Album.

But for the record, Bon Iver is not "new" but rather the fucking "best". Justin Vernon does not need a grammy for his wonderful music to be recognized and validated. Just sayin'.

Love forever and all ways.

Tough guy's running his mouth and I am glistening

If only I was great at expressing myself through my writing. There's so much I want to say but I have difficulty translating it all into sentences. Just so it makes sense.
EDIT: Words spit on paper. It's a matter of piecing it all together.

Also, I forgot how postcards can be comforting and how just a few words scribbled onto paper can mean so much to the receiver.
Thank you for reminding. Thank you for thinking of me.

An ideal Friday is spent

sipping on Organo Gold mocha, writing all while having Bon Iver as faint background music.

What you should know about me before we become friends:

I cannot, for the life of me, contain my laughter. It's so inappropriate on multiple levels. I honestly cannot help myself.
During class, at work, or anywhere. In any situation. It's awful.
Also, it's because the smallest of things can trigger my laughter. It doesn't take much. If I'm with somebody who is just as ridiculous as me, I laugh even more...
I may be crazy. No doubt about it!

It's love that gets us through it

Just a few pictures taken with my Holga lens mounted on my Nikon d90.

I just made a $127 online purchase at The Bay. In my defence, most of my purchases are gifts and Olympic Collection attire (which I absolutely love).
I couldn't resist the crew neck and the beanies... they're freaking precious and they're collectibles!!! AND they're on sale!!!!
Don't hate, appreciate.
Also, mind you that this post is just an awful attempt to convince myself that this was indeed a legitimate purchase and decision on my part. Which it is. Absolutely and positively.

Remember

Remember when the 124 was indifferent to me? Remember when Pape station was just another stop on the way to the West side? Or when I would never spend Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings doing work?

I'm crazy.

I must admit, I'm a little bit lost in space, a little bit out of place.

I kind of miss New York and the Upper West Side even though our hostel was surrounded by the projects. I kind of miss the 103rd st subway station and the long and tiring daily walks. I kind of miss eating bagel sandwiches for breakfast every day. I kind of miss the weird smell of the staircases and our room. I kind of miss the lights and the commotion and that time we walked the Brooklyn bridge in its entirety. The view, the cars and the crazy pedestrians. I think I just took it for granted while in the moment. Haha. But I honestly did enjoy the experience. Not to mention, it was with amazing company.

I'm looking forward to a lot of things though. New projects, new goals, new adventures, new year.
