May is my fav month of the year. April showers bring May flowers, it’s time to get summer ready and celebrate my born day. I feel a bit silly making a big deal about my birthday so my sister is planning a little dinner next Tuesday night. You’re welcome to stop by. I’ll post details. I joined Twitter in May 2008 so, May 5th is a cool day too.
I’m gonna give daily videos another go this month along with the Instagram May Photo a Day Challenge. I’m trying to develop a more consistent routine. Anything you’d LIKE to see? Wanna know?
For the fist 7 days of the Month, I’m going to look back at a couple people, places, things & thoughts from each year I’ve been blogging. Then, on the 8th day we celebrate 30 years of my life. Woo hoo! WE ARE YOUNG.
Here We Go, 2005 Throwback:
- Moved to Toronto. Lived in the Annex at Bathurst & college.
- Bracelet on my wrist says “CAS” my nickname in Australia.
- Had a mullet and the first pair of skinny jeans seen in Toronto since the 80’s.
- That ring was glass & Armani. It was a gift from HighRise Magazine. Remember that mag?
- Worked at YM Inc. as Assistant to Director of Product Purchasing. First ever job out of Uni. Was lucky to meet someone on the plane home from LA who worked in fashion. Introduced me to the right people. ABC – Always Be Closing, baby.
- I was pretty obsessed with moving back to Australia. And Myspace. And VICE Magazine.
- Was publishing lots of poetry on MySpace I wrote at Uni and in college. Here’s a couple old guys:
Spring Love
Acutely Ironic
A bird writes a sonnet
Sings the sonnet
Out of tune
Across the river
To a loon– CASIE 2005
- Best friend was a French speaking flight attendant from Winnipeg. She was a writer too. Writing and fashion consumed our lives and we talked about them over wine. This was before I developed wine allergy. 🙁
- Saw Annie Hall for the first time.
