Random weekend...

This is a picture of one of my livingroom walls that was freshly painted!

These are some Barbapapa's in the window of a cute shop on Queen Street West

The mirror conspiracy...

This is the name of an album by Thievery Corporation. It's one of the best cd's I own, although I lost it about 2 years ago, but I still have the case! Dang. I love this band/group, although the most recent album I have of theirs was kind of rap/hiphop whatever you want to call it. I didn't like it much. But if you want a kick ass album to do many things to, sleep, read, excercise, make out, hang out, I reccomend the Mirror Conspiracy. Here's one of the songs from the album, it's in french, however there are only about 2 french songs on the entire thing. I think it sounds sassy! All of the songs are very unique in their own way.

Don't tell me this isn't fuckin sweet!




Going back to a previous post from Bjork's Medulla album, here is a live performance of a song called "Who is it" featuring Aboriginal throat singer Tanya Tagaq. She is from a small town called Cambridge Bay in Nunavut. If you check her website you can sample a song, that she recorded with Bjork for Medulla (Ancestors)

Ok I just found info about the crazy beatboxer. His name is Rahzel, Click HERE to see a clip of him beatboxing for the album! Sorry to keep going on about this, but I just find every aspect of this album facinating.

No tissue? Do the sleeve sneeze!

Stop the Spread of Germs Health Promotion Campaign!

Toronto Public Health has launched a health promotion campaign encouraging everyone to do their part to stop the spread of germs by keeping their hands clean, covering their cough and, when they do not have a tissue, to "Do the Sleeve Sneeze."
These posters are plastered all over the subway system, inside the trains and on the walls of the subway platforms.

WHAT THE FUCK???
What does everyone think of this???

Is it natural? You've got to be kidding me!

I was approached by a young man today on the subway, he was probably a couple of years younger than I at the most. He tapped me on the arm, I thought he accidentally bumped me, then he motioned for me to take off my headphones and said to me, "Is your hair natural?" I was in shock and thought it was some sick joke, so all I could mutter was NO!!! Kind of forcefully, then he said oh, sorry, and I put my headphones back on. He totally caught me off guard. Was he serious? Was this his weird way of initiating a conversation with me? Did I, in a weird way, just sorta get hit on? Haha, I'm kidding. But seriously, my hair is fushia and purple....is it just me, or was this guy a freak?

Here mom, you asked me to take a picture of myself with my new hair, and I'm glad you still love me (even with my fushia and purple hair)

Things I have learned since moving to Toronto!

Here is a list of things I came up with off the top of my head:

1. Even if you're 9 months pregnant, don't expect a seat on the subway.
2. People swear at bus drivers A LOT (because THEY can control traffic and idiot drivers)
3. SOME bus drivers are insane drivers.
4. People Push - WAY TOO MUCH.
5. You're not the ONLY one with that idea.
6. North, South, East & West Matters!!!
7. When giving directions, be sure to include if your building is on the north/south/east/west side of the street, because you know they're going to ask anyways.
8. Some bars never close.
9. Drinking is a hobby, not a habit.
10. Blaring your car stereo pumped up with tons of base IS OK - w hen a child is sitting in the back seat.
11. People actually believe that others WANT to hear what you are listening to on your MP3 player (sarcasm)
12. There can never be too many convenience stores on one block.
13. There can never be enough Asian restaurants....EVER.
14.

Since we broke up, I'm using lipstick again!

I have to mention that the funky phone sound in this song, has been turned into a ringtone for my cell phone, it's so wicked.

Thanks Hales!

The atlantic was born today
And i'll tell you how:
The clouds above opened up
And let it out.
I was standing on the surface
Of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go.
Oh no.
Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps
Crossing flood lands to your door
Have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
So come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on

It's the little things!

It's true, like they say, it's the little things in life that really make a difference. In relationships, at work, in business, it pretty much applies everywhere. We're always doing, or looking for that little something that can differentiate us from the crowd, or make someone feel kinda special!

For example I went out for sushi a few weeks ago with Erinne and Mayssan, when we got our bento boxes this is what our sticky rice looked like. Now I want to go back to Sushi Bon, just for their heart shaped sticky rice. And believe me, I'm not easily swayed.

Celebration of life???

Ok so tonight I went to a celebration of life party....I've never been to one before but I thought I should check it out. A new coworker's(started in feb) husband passed away recently and he requested a party rather than funeral and I must say it was wonderful. Lots to drink, eat, and fun had by all, even if you weren't close to the deceased. Mark my words, when I die, I would like the same thing, having experienced this, nobody cried (unlike funerals) and it was absolutly wonderful. A great way to 'carry on'

NOW I'm at my uncles's house in Whitby and we are going to Bass pro shop's tomorrow and I can't wait, I have never been and I'm stoked. You all know I am a fishing nut!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Good morning sunshine!

So for 2 days in a row, I have been waking up on time, at 7:00AM, making coffee, showering, doing my hair all nice, leaving my apartment around 8:00AM, and most importantly, arriving to work on time. I'm not sure if it's the new purple hair, or if it's the french vanilla cream I bought for my coffee, but whatever it is, it's working :)

As much as I hate to admit it, I have to get myself into a morning routine, I hate routines, but I think that I definitly need a morning one, oh and a school one! One that incorporates DOING homework and studying. oopsies!

The next day, I'm not sure I dig it.
I changed my hair, drastically. I hate blond hair, always have. I think if i get a cool hair cut I will love the new colour way more. I don't hate it, I like it. Maybe it's the comments from the 'adults' at work...."oh you changed your hair" then they walk away. I get the point.This is a pretty bad picture, but you get the point!

Take everything, fake everything.
I sit here trying to come up with a post, but I just can't. I have nothing to say. I miss my friends, all of you across the friggin country. I wish we could all be so much closer and we could have tons of fun. wooo!I did tons of work on my apartment today cause I was having the gals over tonight, and have pretty much settled in. I will be painting my livinroom next weekend and then I can put stuff up on the walls. Cool. Then, I'm done. Other than little minor details. It feels like home. Probably more so than any other place that I have lived since Gatineau, Quebec. It's my apartment, and I think that's the difference.Erinne, the cold med. addict (kidding) didn't show up tonight cause she fell asleep and didn't wake up until 11pm, but Mayssan came over and we had some beer and I made a pizza, then we went to one of our favorite hang out's the Green Room (pub) 2 blocks from my apartment. So cool. It was fun, we just had beer and chatted.I teach skating with Mayssan at an outdoor rink on saturdays in the winter...so she told me the rink should be up and running around the second week in december, so the schedule gets Even more complicated starting then.Which means I will be working full time, mon-fri, 9-5, school, mon and wed. 7-10pm, skating for Gord thurs. 6-7:15 and Sun 11:15-1:15, then teaching skating with mayssan saturdays from 9-1:30. Working 7 days a week, it's not that bad I suppose. The kids are cute that I teach so at least they have that going for them. haha!La vie es comliqué, mais je l'aime comme ça. Je pense.J'écoute, mais tous que j'entends c'est blablabla.Tu parles, mais c'est toujours tes affaires.La vie es dure, mais c'est comme ça pour tout le monde.....je pense.Je trouve, que tes affaires sont trop compliqué pour moi, je pense.I'm going to bed. Je pense.Fin.

Am I a Jedi? NOPE not yet!
Here is a video of my Darth Vader 'piggy bank' I got a couple of months ago while I was in Kingston. I think it's so sweet that I'm going to freak out and wail on my invisible guitar. Then I will prolly stick to a wall or something! Not sure yet, any suggestions?
Anyways, here it is, watch, love, learn.

Miow!
Maybe THIS is why I like Bjork so much! Prrrrrrrrrrrrt! I'll have you know that every sound you hear in this song is done with vocals, I know at some parts its obvious, but even the 'drum beats" they are all vocals. The entire album (Medulla) was created this way, no instruments, only vocals making sounds, and mixed up to create music.

Through my eyes at 8 AM
I am enjoying these photo posts. So this is what I saw at 8am today, I'd like to get a clear picture of the million people I have to push through to get to my second subway, but the picture below turned out sort of distorted, which is excactly how I am at 8am, quite distorted.
These are the things I encounter on my 2 block walk to the subway station every morning.
For those of you who don't understand why Chippy's is significant, I named a chipmunk, who used to terrorize me and my campsite, Chippy. So there is a fish and chip restaurant a block down the street from me. Cute.

This is a very small piece of the front wall of Lee's Palace, tons of wicked and not-so-wicked rock bands play here.
Funny, Kate and I were planning on getting tattoo's saying lucky 13...Cause she was supposed to visit me on friday the 13th. Turns out there's a tattoo shop down the street named Lucky 13.
Begging's not just for the homeless or dogs anymore, the pigeon's have it down!
Sometimes I actually feel like this. Distorted!
K this is me way too close up, sorry guys.

So I took a few pictures of my neighborhood with my cell phone this weekend. Here they are!
And this is a crappy picture of my street, its actually really nice!
This is a huge discount department store one block from my street! I get lost every time I go in there!
And this is the sign for a restaurant one block down the street, I'm going to check it out when my frend Erikka comes to visit from Grimsby (Hamilton area)

Random photos from my cell phone.
So I cleaned out my cell phone yesterday, took off all the pictures I have taken over the past 5 months or so and this post is a few that I really liked.
Here is Erinne posing inside the movie theatre...we went to see Trailer park boys the movie, and this is how they had the ouside of the door set up, we took full advantage of the photo op's. I don't know what I was trying to accomplish here, but I look retarded. TPB movie night!
We even wrote I love ____. On the cardboard trailer they had set up! Fill in the blanks with your favorite character. This is Heidi from our Karaoke night at her place. She's going to kill me for posting this picture cause she's making such a weird face. I think she's about to bust out singing.

Christine and Sorel, the same Karaoke night!
Oh this is the hat from my Beer Keg Halloween Costume, Ya I'm drinking straight from the tap!I'm So hardcore!
Aw sweetish, It's squidget and Rocco cuddling on the chair at my parent's house in Kingston.
So this was my view as I was standing waiting for my subway to come one day, Hmmm am I at Erin Station, NO I'm not, Actually It's Dufferin station, but the poll was hiding the Duff.
This is a nice shot I got while out canoeing one night with Sean on vacation this summer, Notice my little rubber worm in the corner, way to ruin a nice shot Erin. Sheeeesh.

I'd hate to admit it...
Ok I admit it, I've been slackin'. The past year pretty much. At work, at school, at home, with everything pretty much. I have been doing the very least I can to get by, proof of that is my recent fear of failing my Marketing midterm (I still don't have my mark) So today, I have decided to quit the slackin' and get real. haha, sounds like a cheesy saying from the 90's 'get real man'!Earth to Erin, Earth to Erin, come down from space or the dreamland you have stuck yourself in and join the rest of us. K for one thing I will never join you, or sell my soul....now that I have that straightened out. I need to revert into the Erin who used to give a shit, and give 100%. You know, I have never stayed ANYWHERE more than 5 years in my entire life, I'm not just talking about jobs, I'm talking about staying in the same city/town for more than 5 years. Let's have a look at this:Born: Oshawa, Ontario December 24th, 1979, then moved a month later to:Borden, Ontario - 5 years, then moved to:Lahr, Germany - 2 years, then moved to:Kingston, Ontario - 5 years, then moved to:Oromocto, NB - 5 years, then moved to:Kingston, Ontario - 1 year with my parents, then moved to:Kingston, Ontario - 1 year with my Bf Geoff (ex) in our own apartment, then moved to:Ottawa, Ontario - 1 year with Kate in an apt, then moved to:Ottawa, Ontario - 1 year with my BF Jeremy (ex) in a new apt, then moved to:Gatineau, Quebec - 1 year by myself, woo hoo! then moved to:Ottawa, Ontario - 6 months with my bf Sean, then moved to:Toronto, Ontario - 2.5 years with Sean, then moved to:Toronto, Ontario - 1.5 years with Sean in another apt, then moved to:Toronto, Ontario - 1 week so far in my new apt....by myself again.....Now I won't even get into the various jobs I have had and quit, cause that would take me a year to do. But I get the urge, every couple of years to uproot myself and move on to a new apartment, new city, or new job, I have a hard time staying in the same place. It's in my blooooooooooooooooood man!

Make it go away!
So, my left nostril is sniffly, and I just sneezed, it can't be.....I NEVER get sick. EVER. I don't even get headaches. I get a cold usually about every 2 years and THAT IS IT, nothing else! The last time I had a flu or something, was in 2001 in Ottawa, my body was dripping with sweat and I didn't leave the couch for 3 days, I couldn't move, I even fainted when I went to get up. Last time I had a stomach flu I was 13 and I was babysitting. Wonderfun!I had a cold last year, and I think I might be getting one now.Dammit all to hell. WHY, WHY ME? I guess I shouldn't complain. With my track record, I'm pretty lucky!UPDATE: Thursday afternoon: So I'm not sick, must have just been a little sniffle cause it was cold outside. Yippee!

I'm going to flip out and stick to a wall.
Ok, so I am just heading to school now, I have to write a marketing midterm and I haven't studied OR read all of the chapters. So I am freaking out and wishing I didn't have to go write the stupid thing, at the same time wishing that I was dedicated and spent the appropriate amount of time studying. Even at 26, I will never learn!

Ok THAT was a little Hardcore!
I know, I know those last 2 posts were a little harsh. I'm not going to edit or delete them cause it's now a part of history, my life history. It will be nice to read back and see some of my thoughts and how they have changed. I want to clarify something about that last post but I can't because it will give it away and offend. Sometimes it isn't always the present struggle that causes frustration, but something deep down inside from the past. It's still in the present and will be for a long time. It hurts, to watch it happen, it hurts that it never ends, it hurts that it's a cycle, it hurts because it's self destructive, it hurts because life doesn't have to be that way, it hurts because you can control your life, it hurts because life is being wasted. It hurts because I could so easily follow suit, but I'm not gonna! I don't have it in me.

Why is shit so weird?
So it's another pre move rant. It's so weird coming home to a bunch of shit taken out of your apatment, but yet, not even a phone call to say hey, I'm moving some shit out tonight. What the hell. K can anyone tell me, did you see this coming, if I told you Sean was going to break up with me and totally take the next train outta my life, 3 months ago, would you have seen it coming??? Or shit, nevermind, it doesn't matter cause we weren't married or had a kid. Sorry my mistake. I'ts 2:40 Am, I'm not in bed, I have no intentions of going to bed but still I have to go to bed. I have to wake up at 7:30.....to the nothingness I have been living in these past few months. I only have 2 days to go til 'my new life' hmmm, perhaps it will bring something better than the past buncha years have brought me. Or yo, I have a marketing midterm on monday which I will probably fail cause I haven't read a single chapter outta 10 in the past 8 weeks of school. But I suppose that doesn't matter cause I'm not married so what the hell, I have no excuse, working 9-5 doesn't cut it these days. Even with a part time job on top of that. Fuck it all huh. Come see me when 'your shit' hit's the fan man, I've got a couple of words for that!This is the honest side of me coming out, during the day, I am a completely sane, tollerant, loving, understanding person.Update: Friday, 3:20PM, ok, so I had to take theat last part out cause it was a bit too harsh I think. And it had nothing to do with anything that is going on in my life at the moment. It was a whole other subject that I don't even want to get into right now.

The big move is comin' up!
So how do I feel about it? I'm a bit nervous! I haven't lived on my own in almost 5 years, I've done it before and I can do it again. My emotions are a bit out of wack right now, I'm not upset, but I'm pretty stressed, but only when I really think about it. I try not to think. It's easier that way. I try not to dwell, it only keeps me down. I had to realise this pretty quickly for myself, when I started falling apart about a month and a half ago. I wasn't eating, I wasn't sleeping, I was getting in shit at work. I had to deal with it and snap out of that pretty quick. I've been fine ever since. It was tough, let me tell you, but I just had to realise that I can keep feeling bad cause then things were just going to get worse. I'm glad I was able to see that though. Some people get so stuck on feeling bad, that it becomes the only way for them. I just can't be that way, I've got a whole lot of life left to live and I'm not going to waste it being miserable. I think I've dealt with this situation pretty good, I've talked a lot, but only to a few key people who I know will listen and not judge, I mean hell, at least I didn't fall apart like others' have in my situation. I have to say though, through all of this, that some people can really be insensitive. I can't count the number of times people said to me "well at least you weren't married, or at least you don't have a kid" OHH, Okay, thanks, shit I feel much better, thanks for pointing that out. I suppose an 'almost' 5 year relationship doesn't mean anything unless you are married or pop out a kid. hmmm, honestly, does that make it easier...maybe - but I would have to disagree...If you love someone, or something, imagine it being gone the next day, with no clear indication....just vanished. Poof! What would you do, don't lie!

Quick Quick like a bunny.
A song that's been on my mind, and in my ears for the past couple of months....Gleaming auction - Snow Patrol.I get tired of the hear attacks, every time it ringsI'' put myself on the waiting list, And get it all cleared upYoure the one with the attitude, dont try to make me outTo be the root of the evil in, the whole wrotten affairLie back and suffer now, we've both received our rewardBurried deep in the telegram, I'm sure i never gotWas any clue of the whereabouts, of all the things I'd lostJust because you were right before, doesnt mean youre rightTo make it up now would just be vindictive, every doubt i hadIt's nto as simple as, how much you think you careYou would never know, when to take the h intBroken glass aside, my feelings stay the sameCOvered head to toe, In blood and fear and spite.....

I.....Just wanna be.....Honest with you....
So, after having numerous conversations with friends this week, many of them have been about deceit, and I have come to the realisation that everyone lies. So how can you trust anyone knowing that we all lie? I'm not gonna lie, I've told my share of fibs, but how can you trust anyone knowing that EVERYONE lies? Moi, je pense qu'on dit les monsonges parce-qu'on es peur de nous même. Je m'excuse pour mes fautes d'autographe, mais j'esaiye de pratiqué mon fraçais. J'ai même changé ma boite vocale, a un message bilingue, parce-que j'ai besoin du pratique. Peut-être, quel-qu'un va me lessé un message en Français. Anyways, back to lies, I'm wondering why we lie, even to our best friends, family, boy/girlfriends....other than the obvious, casue we don't want them to know something terrible that we've done. But why would we do something so terrible to begin with? Why should we hide who we really are/were? I have gotten myself into so much trouble with lies, I have always come clean in the end, but I've never been a good liar, so it has always caused me more grief and pain than it was worth in the first place. What about lying to people you don't know, through someone else, I have been there too, you might not have to deal with the lie, but someone close to you has to deal with the repercussions? Is it easier, or just as hard? I, personally think that it's the guilt that you feel inside, not so much the lie itself. I don't know why I'm sitting here at 2:30 AM talking to myself about lies. Maybe I have some sort of unharboured guilt, or maybe this past 'week in hell' has made me become more aware of the lies I have been telling myself over the years. I'll never know cause I'm too busy lying to myself......

HOT MAIL BABY OWWWWW!
K so I just had a thought, I don't know where this came from, but I was thinking tonight, as I was signing into hotmail, that I remember waaaaaaaay back when I was in high school, a friend of mine, was the first person I knew who had the internet, (his name by the way was Dale) not only the internet, but he had "HOT MAIL" and you can imagine by the name, the teachers thought it was something NASTY, so they forebade it! We were in media studies class together, in New Brunswick. and I remember the day there was an announcement that "this HOT MAIL thing" was not aloud to be used during school hours. I wonder what those teachers think about their actions almost 10 yers ago....Just a thought.

Haley's a friggin winner!

Haley! YOU WIN! I knew you could do it, even in one try!
Haley knew that Hippo's like to hang out and drink pop with Ninja's. She even threw in "in the forest" just to prove she really knew her shit! Her prize, well I would show you a picture of it, but my digital camera is packed. Hmm I could always use my cell phone. Ok so here's a picture of her lovely prize. It's a beautiful 'pile o' hippo's' piggy bank, or should I say hippo bank. Congrats haley baley! You make me proud!
p.s. I have to say, I love the expressions on the hippo's faces! I would love to keep the bank for cuteness factor, but I don't think the hippo's would do well standing next to Darth Vader!
Also if you don't believe that Hippo's like to hang out and drink pop with Ninja's in the forest, read this!

You see the good in everyone!
So I was reading a friend's blog today, it was a post about people being very negative, so I figured I will follow suit and post a list of positive or happy things...because no matter how many piles of shit are thrown onto you, there's always a shovel near by to dig yourself out, even if that shovel is your two hands. haha! I just made that up! Here goes....now I'm not trying to brag here, let's not get positive happenings mixed up with bragging about 'what I got' or what is great about my life. Sheesh, I can't believe I just had to clarify....Now I'm going to set this up in a past, present, future sort of deal here:Past:- Good parents- nice friends and neighbours- skating- moving to different parts of the country and world & travelling- grandparents, uncles/aunts/cousins- celebrations- roomates- Parliament hill- the cats at parliament hill- for a while, working at sympatico- quitting sympatico- Sean- moving to Toronto- concerts- visits to New Brunswick- whale watching - mine and Haley's favorite moment ever!!!- Seeing Bjork perform on Centre IslandPresent:- A new apartment- A good job- A great skating job- Cool cats- Awesome friends- Concerts- visits with family- camping/trailor/hammock- health- strength- determination and LOTS of it!!!- school- some skillsFuture:- Better job- to be finished school- still have cool friends- goals!- a car- travelling- more visits with friends- simplicity- a puppy?- dancing- turning 27 (I'm trying hard to find something positive about this....)- next summer, the one after and the one after that....- family- weddings....ya that means you Amanda!That's all for now folks!

It's a contest #2
Yay everyone, it's another contest.
This time I have a shiny brown hello kitty purse with many zippers and pockets!
All you've gotta do is give me your best pick up line, it can be one you've used, or one someone has used on you, or just one you've heard. Ready, set, go! Here's mine. Once a guy came up to me at a bar and said, "Bouuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnssssss and I had no idea what he was talking about, I'm like what? he said you know the simpson episode, he then started chatting with me....later, I realised, that was his pick up line....I was like niiiiiice, a simpson's pick up line! It's not a very good story but I thought it was pretty funny at the time. Contest closes Sunday September 24th, 2006!
Here is a picture of the purse!

My little BIG bro Jay!
I would like to take this time to CONGRATULATE my little bro on getting hired full-time at Weston's in Kingston. This guy has toughed it out part-time for 4 years, which means pretty much full-time hours in the summer but then real part-time hours for the rest of the year. So with this full-time hiring, comes a HUGE pay raise, benefits, and the satisfaction of knowing that it took other guys 8 years to finally get hired full-time!
GOOD JOB RAISIN BOY!

RETRO baby, YEAH!
As most of you already know, I love all that is retro, always have, even way back in highschool. This weekend I took the GO train to Whitby (the G.T.A. commuter train) and spent the weekend with my uncle's wife Essy, while my uncle was in Nova Scotia fishing for sea bass, lucky guy! We watched movies, drank beer, and went to a small town called Port Perry to check out all the little downtown shops. They were wonderful. We visited a fairy/angel store, and a couple of minutes after walking in, the storekeeper came up to us and gave us a white feather and said, "a feather from your guardian angel" it was nice.....I kept thinking how much my mom would love this store. I have to take her there one day. Anyways many of these stores had so many nice retro "things" and I decided that when I move into my new place I am going to have a retro theme....here is a picture of my first "new retro apartment" purchase. It is a metal chalkboard. There is a bit of a glare, it says Sandwiches, Dee-Licious! I have it hung on the wall of my current kitchen for now, it fits in wonderfully! I had to test it out so of course the first thing that came to mind to write was, chicken! Sayonara lobsters, you are being shifted to the bathroom.

It's not a phase.
Today, Sean has informed me that he will be getting an apartment with some friends as of Nov 1st. So we will be giving our notice to our current landlord sometime this week. The hunt is on to find a new apartment. It's going to be quite the challege to find something affordable in Toronto. I won't be having a roomate, because I don't know anyone well enough to live with them, and I won't live with a stranger. So there it is ladies and gentleman, the hunt for a new apartment is on!

What a wonderful dog!
Doesn't she look happy? This is Shivers, my little mini golden retriever (she's mixed with something else, not sure what, but basically she looks like a golden retriever, but half the size, how cute is that?) She is the coolest dog ever.It's a nice feeling going home to Kingston, having her at the door when i come in, wagging her body, not just her tail, her entire waist wiggles, because she is so excited to see me! Now that's a warm welcome. I miss having her around, hanging out in my room listening to music with me, curling up for a nap on my bed, hell she used to help me clean my room. I once taught her to put my socks in a laundry basket. She's a super smart pup. I wish she would be around forever. My sweet little Shivers! You're the best dog a girl could have.

An afternoon of chix canoeing.
This post has to be done separately. Those who were there will understand why. We went canoeing, Amanda and I in my canoe, and Steph, Sara and Nancy rented one. We canoed to the rocks and rapids then got out and did a little tanning, drinking, smoking and fishing. We took a small adventure through the woods, mainly to pee, but checked out scenery as well. Getting back into the canoes was the highlight of the camping trip and I just happened to get it all on video. Steph and Nancy were already in when Sara tried to get in something went wrong. They shreaked, tipped to the left, then tipped to the right, then tipped back to the left before gaining control of the canoe. This video says it all.
WE ROCK!!!

The iceberg confessions!
On Friday night we burnt a head of iceberg lettuce. There was a very specific reason we did this, because we were dissappointed in something. (Email me if you would like to know why!) Then we created a campfire game for girls. We called it "The iceberg confessions." Basically everyone had a piece of paper and wrote down about 5 things to do, tore each one off individually and put them in a hat. We took turns passing the hat around and everyone had to pick a piece of paper from the hat and perform whatever was written on the paper. It was the best game I have ever played. The (let's call them dares) ranged from, slap the person's ass to your right, to Stop, Drop, and Roll, to "poll dance" the tiki torch, to do 10 jumping jacks then take a shot of sour puss. There were many many more, but I was too drunk to remember them all. All of us girls had cameras and captured everyone's "moment"! We created new ones on saturday and continued on with the game after a full afternoon of canoeing, but that's a different story. For those girls who didn't attend, you sure missed out on quite the adventure. We will, however be "initiating" one new member next year! So put yer application in early!Here is a video of Nancy, you can't see anything because it's dark, but her "dare" was to hum a song and choose a person to guess what song it is. After nancy was my turn, guess what I picked, hahahaha! Sara rocks! Check out the video here!Pictures are still to come.
High Fives!
Kisses!

Meet Rocco, the chihuahua
This is a picture of my lil' brother's dog Rocco (Kate the Lil' is for you, cause you know how much I hate that) who now lives with my parents because he grew so attached to the other animals at my parents house while my bro was living at home, so he stayed with my parents when my brother left. (I'm sure it was more that my dad fell in love with the dog, but who am i to say) Anyways, besides Erin with the Pecker Eye, this is a cute picture of Rocco. He is a sweet little pup, who has the most annoying bark in history, he sounds like a baby croc! CRIKEY!!! I took about a hundred and fifty two pictues of us today, I won't post them all since I suspect Rocco will be a bit self concious of the 3 chins that he has in this picture.
Oh god it looks like im mashing his head into mine, but really we are "cuddling" he loves it, ask my dad!
Ok So I guess he got a bit bored of the photoshoot and started yawning.
He is now outside barking ( imagine the baby croc sound now) So I should go bring him in!
