feeling young and restless

i’m having one of those days. i’ve got heaps to do.  it’s getting done but for some reason i’m just outta my head. i keep thinking, stop it, get back to work, don’t let your mind wonder, wander. i wish the sun would com out. it’s cold in here and i’ve not taken my jacket off all day. i even dressed cute today. sigh.

i keep reminding myself how fun it’s gonna be tonight watching the hills with a bunch of friends at MTV.  i always wanted to be able to do  this. in my last post i was so excited and now i feel all weird.  i said something stupid last night to a friend after a couple drinks and i think that’s what is getting me.  sometimes we say things, it happens. the other day i got so upset over  something that was  not even necessary. i like to think i’m a simple girl but i’m complex and  my mind is like a labyrinth sometimes. i go back and read things tagged writing and i feel some what at ease.

it must be the creativity, left hand, wild imagination sometimes gets the best of me. i’m nervous and excited most the time, i love this feeling but sometimes it leaves me feeling open and vulnerable and i get scared.  take my own advice, build  a bridge and get over it. the other thing is that when you do things online all the time it’s all out there for everyone to see, they can see you, you can see them, the world is somewhat translucent. you can see, but you can’t always see through. this helps, writing it out. i got  new analytics ,the other day. google, i love you but your site stats were just not cutting it for me.  i’m amazed and pleased to see how many people  actually read this thing. i read it everyday and i love it, it’s my outlet and my memories and my life. thank you. i live and i learn and i love you.

it’s 4 and i’ve not eaten lunch yet. i’m tired, i’ve been up late the last couple nights. i need a good sleep tonight. i need a good sleep. i’m going to get something tasty to eat and come back to watch the Y&R at my desk. i feel better that i talked it out.  thank you.

a blog is the best therapy you can have. sometimes you just need someone to talk to.  sometimes, you just need someone.

crossing borders, timezones and interwebs

down by the bay where the blogger mellons glow

I got shot by Erika Ruth about 2 weeks ago. Here are some of the pix. It was a super nice day out, sunny, warm.

I was internetting down by the lake in the sunshine. My outfit:  singlet, american apparel bikini, cut off shorts, fishnets, Dr. Marten combat boots, ribbon laces.

Then I chilled out on Canada’s largest tall ship, Empire Sandy.

It got a little windy as I reflected on my day.

This one is my fav.

I’ll have the whole set from her later this week. Stoked to see how they look. I take my OWN photo so often, it’s really nice to have someone else do it. THANKS ERIKA! She can take your photo too if you want too visit her blog or tweet her @erikaruthphoto.

BTW, if you wanna take my photo sometime just ask ok. Maybe we can work it out.

Happy Monday. Sun love .

Had a really nice day yesterday. Woke up after a great sleep, spent the day relaxing, chatting with friends online, blogging from bed. Later in the evening I got myself a glass travel mug of wine and cruised over to the hot tub.

It was kinda cloudy over the water but I didn’t mind. It felt so nice to sit back and relax. I was all alone there for a while but then this one dude came in. I was glad I didn’t check-in on Foursquare, he could be the one I stole the Mayorship from! It would be so awkward if it was him. We kinda fought over reins of the Hot Tub Time Machine going back and forth for about two weeks.

I’m so excited for tomorrow. Sia and K-Cav are gonna me at MTV. ZOMG I love my job, I love my job.

If you wanna come to Sia, email [email protected].
Have a GREAT DAY!

i want you know, you’re so wonder pho

Today is World Malaria Day. I tweeted & donated as well as posted an End Malaria pic on Daily Booth photo like the rest of the Malaria Envoy. Here’s 5 Ways You Can Support World Malaria Day online via Mashable.

I also made Pho today. Sabrina said it was the most adventerous meal she’s ever seen me make. I don’t cook very often. I can, but I don’t. It was easier than I thought and I was able to make it less salty and use really nice meat.

It turned out great!

whatever you want, it’s yours. create it.

Some things in life you need, some are just unnecessaary. This is some of my recent work in my Unnecessary Wheels collection. More coming soon…

Breanna requested a cheese wheel.

Drew tweeted he was missing an orange balloon.

My floor is covered with markers and pastels and sketchbooks. Among the analog art supplies is the flip cam, camera, phone (with cam, netbook, monitor,  it’s a creative geek heaven. Love.  I started this project about 2 years ago is starting to pick up speed. I’d love to tell you about it but I can’t yet. Soon, you will be the first to know, ovbiously.

This is fabulous. If you have not seen it. Watch and enjoy.

stop talking so loud on the subway, it’s rude

I rode the streetcar today and there were these two loud ass mofo’s speaking some unknown languge SUPER loud. Like, seriously? Are some people SO freeking arrogant that they don’t clue in they’re yelling? I know car was packed but like sheesh, have you no manners? I have a loud voice, I love yelling but there’s a place and a time.

I made these loud talker videos over a year ago.  I’ve changed LOTS in the last year. Have you ever gone and ready some of mny old stuff? Posts, videos, photos, they make me smile.

As for loud talkers, they’re annoying.  I rarely take the TTC anymore because I walk to work, however, when I do, I always have a camera. Mooohahahah.

BTW, streetcar driver was EXTRA nice, to everyone.

I hope you do not know this guy.

take me to the ocean and lose me forever

Hung out with my sis the other day. Quite hilarious when we hang out,  the older we get the more similar, we are,  especially our mannerisms and the way we talk. We spend half the time laughing out loud. For real.

People always say we sound the same on the phone, especially our parents.  More and more we look similar  in photos, too, it’s totally crazy going through her pix.  It was so nice down by the lake and watching the sunset If you live her or near the water somehwere, go there more often.

Jenie took this pic of me, haha. Pop’a colla.

There’s nothing like hanging out with her. Our cousin is coming this week FROM NEW ZEALAND. First young cuzzy that’s been over this side of the planet since I was like ten. Super exciting.

Hanging out in the beaches with Carly this afternoon. So nice and heaps of trees around,  much different than the concrete jungle where I spend mosta my days.
