read a couple blogs to form an opinion


Let me tell you. Working from home is great. Well, working when you’re not on a schedule or have any deadlines and you don’t have to report to anyone. Working on Tweeting your friends, replying to emails of interest, attending blogging events, videos, celebrating yourself and your friends…it’s a tough life.

I woke up yesterday and put on Zombie makeup. It was lovely. I went to Sobeys to get groceries, got the mail and received a package from the concierge.

Scared some new neighbor and the cleaning lady. It was so fucking fun. Me, alone, Zombie by day, not even Halloween yet. I love me when I do things like that. Like really live it out. Make the most.

I started this draft a while ago and now it’s already almost 2pm. I have a meeting and haven’t showered even gotten dressed yet or washed my hair.

Karrera took all these photos. I just made a scary movie.

Working at home is harder than I thought…

When you love what you do it’s not really work.

First – GenyTO was fun. Thanks to Renee who really took the cake and made sure it went well. I left early after lots of congrats from familiar faces.  We raised a bunch for UNICEF! Thank you everyone for coming!

Third – Will post the Harajuku Lovers contest winner after brunch.

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

LIFE

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

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!
