i’ll love you forever

Today I logged into Facebook as I do every day. I check the pages for work post, make changes etc, then I check my own messages. I had two messages and not spam about some event I don’t care about. One from Dad and one from a friend in New Zealand, her Mum, one of Mum’s oldest friends, passed away yesterday. Her name is Julie.

Julie came to visit us a few years ago. It was so much fun to have her around. She came to visit with her daughter and gave us this book called Succulent Wild Woman by SARK. Julie filled the book with gold confetti angels, stuck between pages and all down the spine, throughout the whole book. When we opened they fell all over the floor and it was beautiful. To this day angels turn up around Mum’s house in the darnedest places.

“This book is my glowing invitation to you — to live a rich, succulent life! I explore love, sexuality, romance, money, fat, fear and creativity. It’s a little bit like reading my diary — with permission. Succulence is powerful! and so are we as women.”

SARK writes a journal and read a bunch of her posts today. They’re happy and inspiring, full of colour and bright thoughts and markers and stars and stuff like that. It’s really weird going to someones Facebook after they’ve passed, I wanted to post on it but I didn’t and it made me feel sad for a minute. Then, I read all the most recent activity and was brightened by her energy.

Julie was inspiring to everyone she knew. She had MS and when she got better one time she decided to go on world tour. So she did. Julie looked at the world in a way that made you feel so happy just to know her. She will live in my heart forever. I

‘m thinking of y0u and promise to keep working hard and making the most our of each day.

you are what you tweet

A while back I posted a wordle (here) that was a misture of my most common words used on my blog. I did this one of my most used words in Tweets. Most common word on both (aside from RT) is LOVE.

LOVE. Love is all you need. ♥

I used Tweet Stats and Wordle.

hearts on fire i reach out to you tonight

Big ups to Darren who does my hair for giving me exactly what I want. I love it. His salon is on Queen Street across from the West side of Trinity Bellwoods. Go visit him, he’s nice.

why you lion to me baby, rarrrr

I was really busy today with work and didn’t have time to bloggy blog until now! I usually develop a mild anxiety if I don’t update. Oh man, you should see me if whole day goes by without internet or blogging, I start scratching and pacing like a total crack head nut job.

I wore these shoes today, wanted to give them another go. Last time I wore them my feet were torn to shreds and hurting for at least a week. Shoes, I have a message for you “you’re cute but it’s OVER, it’s not you, it’s me, you hurt ME. I wanna be with you, inside you but the pain is unbearable.”

Wore this shirt today, one of my fav’s I ordered from Threadless. On my way back from meeting Abby to talk Degrassi I got stopped by L’oreal. Really good pickup line “you have amazing style, can we take your picture”. Obvs I was like “yeah”. Turns out one of the photog’s does work for MuchMTV and I uploaded a bunch of his Juno photos last week. Small world, totes.

Good thing I brought flip flops to walk home in the rain. RAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!

i love french music

A Pirate’s comin’ to town on Friday, @BeatricePirate!

Coeur de pirate || Ensemble

Coeur de Pirate aka french superstar Béatrice Martin is in TO to perform Friday on Jian’s show. She playing a special set in the Gladstone Melody Bar before TNC on Thursday. She doesn’t have any planned Toronto summer concert dates. Think I’m gonna go before I hit up Tech Karaoke in the eve and sing myself Happy Birthday!

spinning the sunshine

I was looking at what I posted around this time last year and saw this video, same dress I’m wearing today.

Around this time last year was the crazy Tamil protest on the Gardener

I found love in a zombie tattoo

I finally got a helmet and Porter was in town from the islands

I played hopscotch on Queen Street

I wrote about our generation and why we’re not lazy

Posted on this exact day, May the Forth be With You 2009

I was in cartoon motion, dreaming of being a cartoon.

I wore pants and a tuxedo shirt while biking to work.

I wrote a really long run on sentence and through about Andy Warhol.

I was closer to god (in a NIN animal kinda way)

I played with Charlie in Kensington Market, vintage close & second hand books.

I got my hair done before my birthday, suprisingly, I get my hair done today too 🙂

I love looking through old posts to remind myself of things and inspire me to keep creating new things. I’ve got a lunch date with the lovely Rayanne today and I’m really looking forward to it.

Toot-a-loooooooo!!!!!!

get your cherry chapstick ready

I’ve never actually seen Star Wars. I dated this boy way back who despite being in his mid twenties, still has a Star Wars bed spread and sheets. Lightsaber anyone? Haha If you didn’t notice on FB or Twitter or the Gregorian calendar, today is May the Forth. Get it? No, urgh, May the Fourth be with You!

Its super nice out again today. I miss my camera. Morning photoshoots had become part of my regular routine. I can’t take full shots of my outfits anymore.

Really digging the rooster alarm BTW. I think its funny. I try to do little things here and there to make my day better. Tuesday is my busiest day of the week now that The Hills is back on. If you ever wanna watch The Hills at MTV and see The After Show live, email, tweet, FB, me or leave a comment.

Posted a bunch on Tumblr last night, lotsa pretty pictures. Sky looks really clear today. I’ve got lotsa exciting things happening around me at the moment and I wanna share it all. Oh, guess who’s performing at the MMVAs? Both my girlfriends. haha.

my world 2.0

The sound of a rooster woke me up, and, just as I planned, I started laughing. I fell asleep thinking positive thoughts of “welcome summer” and “I want a porsche“.

Got up about an hour earlier than usual to kick off the week before my birthday on Saturday, I’m gonna be 28.

Its a beautiful day, the ground is wet, the air is warm. Might rain but for now, the sun is shining bright. Pulled out the AA thigh highs, threw on my wellies and shorts and made it out the door just after 8am.

Sun shining in my face…

Pretty walk through the park.

Ready for puddle jumping.

Having lunch with the lovely Lucia and I’ve also booked the whole night to myself. Started cleaning room last night, finally. Brought a banana for brekky today. It’s time to start planning for Florida trip, as in not eating crap! I need that toned up beach body in place, maybe I’ll even get a couple workouts (won’t hold my breath on that one!).

Its absolutely lovely outside today. I wrote this as I walked to work using WordPress mobile & added the pix from my phone when I got into the office. Hope your day starts off great like mine did. If it didn’t, maybe reading this little note might help.

Happy Monday!

another one bites the dust

My name is Casie and I have a problem with cameras. It is at this time I regret to inform you that the little pink Fuji has finally succumbed to the little crack in the lens part that goes in an out and now has a permanent zoom error.

She’s done.

The crack happened some months ago and was all ‘error’ for a while, then it came back to life. I think we lost her this time. Error seems to be EMO for gadgets.

I can just see my friend PTBKB reading this and laughing. (Babe, I know, we knew it was a matter of time. Shouldn’t have written that fake losing camera story last month! Gahhhh!)

Honestly though, when you are this active and take as many photos as I do on the daily, life is hard for a camera.

Time to draw a camera on wheels, to the emergency room or morgue! [sad face]

BTW, did you know my birthday is Saturday 🙂
