Creative Collab

School is almost over now (thank God), only exams left to do. And as school winds down I am progressively getting more and more lazy. Unlike last year though, I will not be sitting around all day doing nothing, I'm going to be in Ottawa for awhile visiting my sis. I'm also hoping to spend a good part of the summer swimming in my river and relaxing in the sun.

Another project I will be taking on is a collab blog with some fellow nerdfighters. That means that I will be sharing a blog with 6 other people. We're all going to post on one assigned day of the week and slowly get to know each other hopefully. And I linked above to the blog, but we aren't starting until July so it probably won't look very good right away. Bare with me on this one.

Writer's Block Sucks

Boondock Saints and Birthday Mail

So I just got a letter from my mom without a return address and we were both wondering who it could've been from. So I tear it open and find this:

So I'm like "Oh how nice, someone sent me a birthday card!"

Then i flip it open to see who sent it and I see this:

And I'm like "Ooooookaaaaaaay, what the heck is Team LC and who are Rachel, Emily, Justin, and Diana?"

So I rack my brain for a bit to try and figure out who these people could possibly be, but I don't recall anyone that might send a card like this. I come up with the idea to flip it over to see if anything else is written:

This makes me literally facepalm. I mean seriously, a college that sends a birthday card. It's nice and all, but a tad corny and I'm not even considering going to college (university for me hopefully). And I don't even remember giving them my birthday, it must have been from one of their people visiting our school way back at the beginning of the year.

On the other hand my day was significally improved when I saw this following photo.

Boondock Saints FTW! Twilight/Edward FTL!

I adore this photo, it just makes my love for Sean Flanery (Conner MacManus) and Norman Reedus (Murphy MacManus) that much stronger. <3

I Just Lost a Part of Myself

But it was just my hair, and that grows back. :P Had you there for a moment didn't I. I bet you thought I was going all serious on you. However that is not to be. Anyways, just a quick update because I said I would post pictures of my new do.

So there's the before and after look. I cut it all off in my annual summer haircut frenzy, because my hair is waaaaaaaaay too hot in the summer if I leave it long. Plus this way I don't have to use as much shampoo. Also, in the after pic my hair looks more straight, but that's just because the hairdresser did it. If I leave my hair natural it looks more curly.

On a more unrelated note I have recently come to terms with the fact that I have a strange attraction to androgynous looking people. I just really like when a girl can pass for a guy and a guy can pass for a girl or when you see someone and you can't really tell if they're either one.

Pop quiz: Which of these are guys and which are girls?



It probably stems from my reading manga all the time and listening to visual kei jrock bands. It has corrupted my mind! >_< I mean, not that it's a bad thing to like androgynous people or anything.

More than just the looks though, it really interests me when people don't indentify themselves as a girl or a guy, that they could look either way and not care about it at all. That sort of mentality fascinates me. I wonder if in the future that's how everyone will be, sort of genderless beings or something. That could be interesting.



*Is a Ninja*

Yes, today I think I deserve to say that I'm a ninja, or I've at least gotten one step closer to being one. I took this course at my school called Instincts and it was all about how women can protect themselves and get away from assalt situations. It was pretty interesting for the most part (though I don't think some of the other girls were enjoying it as much as me). I learned a bunch of useful techniques to get out of an attacker's hold, both physical moves and vocal techniques. The best part by far though, would definitely be at the end when they all let us break a wood board in half with our fists! It was actually pretty easy to do, and I mean how many people can go around saying that they did something like that. :)



On a side note, my room is (finally) almost clean. I have a few drawers left to clean out and then I'll be done. Unfortunately it will have to wait until tuesday at least because I am in T Bay for the long weekend.


P.S. I booked a hair appointment for tomorrow so hopefully I'll have super short hair by this time tomorrow! If I feel like it I may post before an after pictures once I get it done.

P.P.S. The weather has been FANTASTIC lately soI hope it stays the same, but the forcast doesn't look all that good. I even heard my parents mention the "s" word...

Spring is in the air....

Spring is here again. The sun is shining bright, the temperatures seem almost too good to be true *knocks on wood* and the flowers are blooming. But spring isn't the only thing in the air, there's quite a bit of dust as well. Yes, I have started my annual spring cleaning of my room and I must say, I should probably do this more than once a year! There is so much dust it's crazy. But I'm making good progress, my room is about half done now so hopefully it wont take too much longer.

Happy spring cleaning everyone!

A List of Thoughts

     So I'm feeling pretty thoughtful today and I have other things that I should be doing at the moment. Naturally, that is why I'm blogging. These thoughts will most likely be completely unrelated, definitely in no particular order and hopefully thought provoking, but more likely just confusing.

1) Nobody is perfect, therefore nobody can make anything perfect, but it is the imperfections that are usually the most beautiful.

2) What should we believe in? In God? Human knowledge? Material items? Ourself? Others? The list could go on forever, but honestly I think the most important thing is that you believe in something even if in the end you chose wrong.

3) If you have to ask youself "Does this really matter in the big picture of things?" chances are the answer is no.

4) I honestly wouldn't be surprised if one day I just exploded from all the things I keep tucked inside myself.

5) Attractiveness is a matter of opinion, everyone's idea of it is a bit different. So screw modern society and just like yourself for who you are.
6) It's amazing how many times I find myself cussing people out in my head, it makes me thankful for the ability to censor what comes out of my mouth.

7) It's amazing how many times I find myself agreeing to something I don't want, it makes me spiteful of the ability to censor what comes out of my mouth.

8) My current life feels way to cluttered with useless material items. Sometimes I just want to throw it all out my window and not have to think about it.

9) It would be a lie if I said I've never thought about running away before, I think it would be wonderful to just head out on the road and go explore the world. Sadly I don't think I'll ever do it, and it will just end up on my steadily growing list of regrets.

10) I wonder what would happen if I started to get bad marks in all my classes. Would people be really surprised or would they not even care?

11) There's a very thin line between reality and illusion, you could cross it one day without even knowing.

12) Time, money, and power. The three main things that rule our lives and crush our dreams.

13) I think one of the most precious things in the world is child-like innocence and imagination, yet everyday we find new ways to beat it out of our kids.

14) Laughter can't help with everything, but it can help with most things.

15) It's hard to be true to yourself when you don't know who you are.

16) Music soothes the soul.

     And yeah, that seems to be it. Hopefully I'll write again soon, but who knows....
