Some of the things contestants love include:

  • being in love
  • eating
  • sleeping
  • hanging with friends
  • hugs and kisses from family
  • pets
  • Christmas time
  • winning contests
  • sunshine
  • traveling
  • talking on the phone

The funniest one was:

“I love cats that pee in the toilet. Specifically my cat. But since she isn’t yet, any cat is good enough.”

rumble tumble jumble…bundle blog

my tumblr blog is a collection of photos and things i from around the internet. it’s like a scrap book of pictures you’d stick on your wall with that blue sticky stuff when you are a pre-teen. the ones from the teen mags.

it’s things that inspire me. it’s people who are inspired. sometimes it’s funny and that’s inspiring too. i choose to be happy and the simplest photo can do it.

this one gets me

she looks so pretty with blood on her face

It’s where beauty meets eats brains…

So gross hot. I surprise myself all the time with my love for Zombies. I don’t like anything to do with blood or guts and cringe when I see them on TV. However…I love Zombie fun. I reckon I’ll be a Zombie pinup girl this year.

If it rains tomorrow I will not be doing the Toronto Zombie Walk for the following reasons:

  1. It’s not fun to walk in the rain with a bunch of people
  2. Blood will stain my white wellies when it drips on them
  3. It’s not so fun to be a soaking wet cold Zombie
  4. Flesh woulds will wash off in the rain
  5. I don’t want to catch a cold before starting my new job

Writing

it all started out to keep memories anyways

I started this blog in 2006 so that I could remember more stuff. I found I was always forgetting and a couple friends started to get annoyed, as did I.

Now, I love this blog, I love it everyday. I look back in time and be reminded of people, places, things, and thoughts; stories from Mum, travel,  movies I saw, genius ideas, stuff about style.

I’m proud of a couple girls I know who’ve been inspired to start their own blogs. Keep it up ladies, mama loves you!! They are: Cara’s Wild on Rice, Irie’s The Shnitz, & Katie’s Tales ans Snippets.

I finally cleaned my room and unpacked most of my stuff last night. It was great waking up to a floor I could spin around on without falling into a bunch of boxes.

I hope you all have a really great day.

factory girl

I slept for 12 hours last night. I laid down, exhausted, at 8pm and was woken up after 1am. Sabrina thought I had been at the Notable TV party. My body and mind obviously needed rest.

Today’s a day for wellies, a mini and no tights….it’s gonna be 17 degrees! Oh, I love!

I’m kinda gonna miss walking through the factory each morning. It’s really pretty especially during fall when the leaves on the vines change colour.

Sabrina and I really enjoy this red vine. Don’t mind the gay look on my face! I’m much better when I smile…

There’s a lot of history and old fixtures that I enjoy; the rail tracks, old boiler room, old fire hydrants. The new office will have it’s own things to love, this I do not doubt.

The closing date for the Harajuku Lovers contest is FRIDAY! I originally messed up the date but have been informed by the sponsors that it is TOMORROW. I’ll be making the draw for the winner after 5pm.

Tomorrow night the October edition of GenYTO at Spice Safar on King West. Come celebrate with me. Come meet and greet with a bunch of TO’s smart, young, cool people. It is a night not to be missed!!

What’s up with the new Olympic Torch design? I don’t like it. I prefer a REAL torch.

i got a new job

I just said bye-bye to my old job. I quit. I’m moving on…

I’ve taken a position with Much & MTV on the Digital Marketing team. I knew when I read the description,  this job that was for ME. I remained positive the whole time and knew in my mind and my heart that this is what I truly want to do.

I’ve worked really hard over the last year and it wasn’t luck that did it, it was preparation meeting opportunity.I used to work in web development Toronto and now I’m moving into new ground. I could not be happier than I am right now. I am proud to say, I have left a job and now begin a career.

Thank you for your love and support.

Let the wild rumpus START!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

LIFE

sentimental, sent a mental note

It’s one of those days, the kind when you’re waiting for something that could make a big difference in your life. Something you really want. Lisztomania plays on my phone waking me up and all I can think of is the brat pack mashup. I love the 80’s. It feels cold outside from inside here. I lay in my bed as I write this. I dreamt of NYC last night. I’m excited for the weekend. I’ve been waiting a year to be a zombie again. Saturday night I’m going to a ball. I woke up to emails filled with positive thoughts and one about a package and the post office. It’s too early to get up and get moving but I just can’t sleep. I just can’t sleep, there are too many things keeping my mind a race today…
