Braaaaains!

Mmm, Brains....I've been having fun this week.

And I wonder, still I wonder.

Ok, I got my exam results today and I passed both of my classes. Somehow I pulled off a 70% overall in Marketing II....(I went into the exam with a 70%), I left 2 questions blank (worth 10 marks each)and totally screwed up another worth 10 marks, ummmmm I still don't understand how I got a 70% but I'm not gonna complain. In business writing/communications I ended up with an 89% overall, (I went in with an 85%) Um rock on??? I wrote the exam in 40 minutes, we had 3 hours....I wrote what I could and then left, the way I see it, you either know what you're talking about or you don't. Taking my time isn't going to help. So I am super happy. It's a nice way to start off my vacation, positve and encouraging. Birthday tomorrow. hmmmm. What to say about that. My mom bought me a cheesecake. Enough said.

Almost 27, I'm ready!!!

I had the BEST birthday party ever. Erinne, Mayssan, Mike, Julie, Angie, Ross, Jay, Sandra & her bf Sean....Merci! Thank you for giving me the birthday party I have never had....It rocked, even that freaky guy who told me I had kick ass hair, then asked me about the dinosaurs...He was messed up, but it was still a blast! Apparently hte chinese make some kick ass lobster, I will remain biased cause of course nobody cooks lobster comme les Acadiens....Vive L'Acadie :)

In myyyyyyyyy life, I loved you all.

With lovers and friends I still can recall...

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

George, HE was my favorite Beatle...

A tribute I found.

More George Harrison.

Live at Pompeii....

One more thing I lovee about the 70's is they used to do dramatic things like perform live in crazy places such as an amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy

Ahhhhh, a classic, everyone know's Moby Dick

Obviously this would be the real reason I would love to be a drummer, so I could pull this sort of shit. I wonder what kind of drugs he was on?
OK Moby Dick wouldn't work, so I'm posting black dog instead. John Bohnam RULES!

Lookin' through a glass onion....

Ok here's another reason I would love to be a drummer, not for the complication obviousyly, but for the fun pauses.

Je me prépare pour ma fête!

I would become a drummer, just for this song.
Ahh, Pete Townsend, you are such a friggin ROCK STAR...and I just love Roger Daltrey's "marching-while-shaking-fist" moves!

All I want for Christmas is a.....

Necklace made of ears. Based on a conversation with a friend last night, this is what I must ask santa for....very psycho indeed.

So what's your wish to santa, world peace, end poverty, the Beatles to be alive and reunite??? I haven't really thought much about this post, it's quite random, so I haven't decided what my 'for real' wish to santa would be. But I think it would have something to do with an island, Haley, fields of flowers/gardens and some farm animals......

He knows how many freckle's she's got......

Hell I don't even think he knows my phone number. Shit who am I kidding, there is no HE...

I'm redeveloping the FRENCH connnection.

Today was fun, I went to the pladium in Mississauga withe Sandra, her bf Sean and a couple of her friends, played a bunch of video games and still have enough credits to go at least 2 more times.

Afterwards I went to Sandra's house and met a bunch of her friends/co-workers who all, incidentally turned out to be from France. What a bunch of great people. I told them I would redevelop a french connection and I am going to organize montly outings for all of us to museums and fun stuff in Toronto. I am totally looking forward to it. I love speaking french and I never get the chance to do it so this is prime.....especially with 'REAL' french people. It's going to be a fun winter, a couple(bf and gf) just moved here 3 months ago from france so they are in for an insane winter so I thought maybe I could soften the blow with some winter fun. I am totally exited to have met new people and to have some fun fun fun in Toronto. You know, touristy stuff I haven't done in a few years. YAY!

So that's that.

On my mind....you have not heard a single word I have said, oh my god....

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see.

Best read if you start playing "chasing cars - Snow Patrol....NOW!!

To be honest, nobody has ever said this about me before, I'd never expect it, but I think it's pretty grand!

It's not because I HAVE to, it's because I want to.
Everytime I think about this girl I get sad, happy, excited, anxious, jelous, envious, and every other emotion possible.

I hear the Cure, I think of her, I see something funny, I think of her, I do something fun, I think of her, I do something stupid, I want to tell her.

She is my best friend ever. I think about her every day.
Almost everything I do, every single moment, reminds me of her somehow. And yes, I tell her EVERYTIME I talk to her, that she is the greatest person alive.....
Honest, you can even ask her, I really do, maybe I even over-do it...I don't care, it's sincere.

I don't quite know...
how to say...
how I feel...
those 3 words...
are said too much...
they're not enough...
(Maybe snow patrol is right?) to describe how I feel about Haley...

Although we have only spent 2 years of our lives together in the same town in New Brunswick, our friendship has carried on, between Her living in New Brunswick and Me in Kingston, Her in Savannah, Georgia and me in Ottawa, to Her in New Brunswick again, and Me, now in Toronto and Her, now in Victoria BC.
From a distance, for way over 10 years....She is the most non-judgemental, funnest, prettiest, (princess/Ninja/Pirate), understanding, sincere, wonderful, beautiful princess ever.

Let's waste time...
Chasing cars...
Around our heads...
I need your grace...(
To remind me...
To find my own....
I'm a cheese ball when it comes to Her, I can't help it, if you saw her or spoke to her, you would understand)

I can't even get through this post without missing her like a demon, and wanting to call her to tell her that she rocks...how cheesy is that?.

I told you, I melt when I think of her...
NO I'm not a lesbian for her, haha, I just love her like the sister I have always wished for, like the best friend I have always needed, like the soul mate I have always wanted....
Maybe she doesnt't know it, but I think she does, and to be honest...I KNOW if she had a blog, she would say the same thing to me, maybe more articulate, maybe in a different way, but ladies and gents, THIS IS the best I'be got...

There has NEVER been a girl that I have NOT seen after a couple years apart, who I have run to, with my arms open for a hug, while crying....shit, I'm not gonna lie, last summer, when I saw her car approaching, I started to cry...I've got a few more friends I could say tons of nice shit about, but to be honest, this century is about Haley....

All I can say is, mark my words, I will be out to BC next summer to spend the best time of my life with her.... (her birthday) and maybe I won't even come back...

For now, it's not letting me post a picture, but I will get one.....no worries.

If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Time of your life (Til you're dead)

So recently, I came across some pictures on Erinne's facebook page, of us last year at the Matt Mays & El Torpedo video shoot! It was a total blast. Here are some I thought I would share! I have also posted the video as well so you can look for us. You totally can't see us but if you look at the hands clapping and rockin' out, look for a black wrist band, that will be me. haha Let me know if you find it :)

Come on get happy!

Despite what others might think, I am very happy these days. I have my shitty days, (like monday - exam day) and sure I bitch and complain, but usually I feel 100 times better once I have spoken out about the shit and it usually goes away. I'm a paranoid person, sometimes I need reassurance. But now, I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, things in my life have FINALLY settled down. I mean why wouldn't I be happy? You want reasons?

1. I have a full-time job
2. I have 2 super fun skating jobs
3. I have a wikked best friend in Toronto (Erinne, duh)
4. I have sooooooooooo much fun with Erinne
5. I get to do some pretty cool things in Toronto
6. I have my own apartment which i love.
7. I drink a lot of herbal tea and I love it :)
8. I live at Bloor/Bathurst, fun fun fun fun fun fun fun! Enough said.
9. I have a few other friends who I see often enough (I'd like to see you more though)
10. Every other week a lady at work makes me a wikked lunch, for the entire week! Jelous? I make her lunch on her off weeks :)
11. My cats kick ass for the lord.
12. I have best friends in BC, AB, MB, and ON.
13. My mom thinks I'm pretty cool. (except she worries about me enough for the entire world. Stop it mom, I know you're reading this! I'm fine!)
14. I'm not letting myself get old.
15. Vacation coming up.
16. I have fun doing anything. I'm never bored.
17. I truly believe that the people in my life REALLY care about me.
18. I TRULY care about the people in my life.
19. I have new tattoos.
20.

I wonder...

i wonder who reads my blog, or if it's just haley checking 10 times a day looking for new contests :) prrrt to you haley, I will post a super fun one as soon as my brain starts functioning at a normal level.

All quiet on the western front!

Ya, so I haven't been posting much these days. I don't have much to say, and the things I have to say are whiny, indecisive, boring and confusing. So I'm just not gonna say them. I think I might be done with school for now. I have surpassed my expectations already so I think it's safe to say I accomplished what I set out to do (complete the entrepreneurship program) and I even took a few additional courses towards a business diploma.

I'm kinda tired though and I find this semester i did what I could to get by and that's it. I just wasn't into it, probably cause I'm tired. I don't like "just doing what I have to, to get by" it's kind of lazy. I just dont feel that I have the time, nor the energy to dedicate myself fully to this new diploma. I don't wanna be a slacker. I don't wanna do a half assed job. So I think I'm going to take a semester off. Just focus on work and skating and being the best Erin I can possibly be! Hee hee! I've got plenty of other things I could be doing. So there, another decision made by the E lady.

Perhaps it seems like I'm quitting, but I don't look at it that way. I've been in school for 2 full years now. That's messed up. I know myself and I know how I am and if I don't take this break, I know I will continue slackin' off at school, it's not going to get any better or any easier. So now, I will rest. Sort of.

I picked up an extra skating shift on wednesday nights and next week I start teaching at an outdoor rink on saturday mornings. So starting in January I will be skating wednesday, thursday, saturday and sunday, as well as working mon-fri(9-5). Not so bad now that school is out of the way.....for now.....

Moving on to phase 2...not sure what it will bring me...I'm wishing for a puppy...:)

"But just remember that it's flesh and bone"

Mission, accomplished!

There's something about these lyrics...

His embrace, a fortress
It fuels me
And places
A skeleton of trust
Right beneath us
Bone by bone
Stone by stone
If you ask yourself patiently and carefully:
Who is it ?
Who is it that never lets you down ?
Who is it that gave you back your crown ?
And the ornaments are going around
Now they're handing it over
Handing it over

He demands a closeness
We all have earned a lightness
Carry my joy on the left
Carry my pain on the right

If you ask yourself patiently and carefully:
Who is it ?
Who is it that never lets you down ?
Who is it that gave you back your crown ?
And the ornaments are going around
Now they're handing it over
Handing it over

The dark side.

I just found this picture on my cell phone and I thought it was funny. It was taken about 3 weeks ago. It looks like I'm slowly being taken over by the dark side, or I am whitnessing an alien ship landing in my apartment. I don't know. What do you think. hee hee

What could be more obvious than spelling?

Ok I have decided on the tatoo's I want, and I have decided to just spell them out on the inside of each wrist, I have thought this through and of course I will keep thinking about it until the day I get the tattoos, which probably wont be until after the new year. I chose the baka too font. And I love it.

Not in the mood.

So it's been a rather bizarre week, nothing I would like to discuss with anyone, but it's got me thinking. I don't know what I want or like anymore and I really have to figure this out soon otherwise I might end up on a path that I am not comfortable taking.

There have been so many changes in my life these past few months and I'm not quite sure if these changes have been affecting my choices or judgements. I'm up for another big change in a few weeks, I'm turning 27. Not really a lifelong landmark or anything, but it's a new age. This past week marks my 4th year of living in Toronto. As some of you know, these past 4 years have not been some of my best years to date, but in many ways they have been.

I must say that meeting Erinne has truly been one of the highlights of my life. She is, by far, one of my favorite people that I have encountered through my nomadic life. A million prrrr's go out to her. I hope she is by my side for as long as we are in this crazy city I now call home.

Back to the original topic, I have, however, seen, done and accomplished many things in Toronto that I am proud of, or have enjoyed. However, let me tell you there have been numerous challenges and struggles. I'm not going to dwell on the negative aspects of my time spent in Toronto, cause I've come to love this city and my life here. THis post isn't quite finished, but I'm sick of typing......

Friggin quit it!

I can't get rid of my cough. I've had it for over a week now and It's driving me nuts. I cough and i cough and i cough. It's a gross cough too, I sound like i have a motorcycle in my lungs or something.

Dear cough,
Go away! I don't want you anymore.
I never wanted you in the first place!
You make my throat hurt, my nose run and I dont like it!
So go pick on someone your own size or something.

Erin

A Mission - Last post of the day

Ok, I'm on a mission and I need everyone's help.
I want to get a couple tattoos in the new year.
Something that represents this:

Carry my joy, on the left,
Carry my pain on the right....

Any suggestions, where and what?
I was thinking of 2 tattoos, one somewhere on the left and one on the right.
But that's as far as I got....

I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I bet I can make your bed rock.

Where were these lines when I had my pick up line contest on my blog a couple months ago?
Sheesh.

1) Did you fart, cause you blew me away.

2) Are your parents retarded, 'cause you sure are special.

3) My Love for you is like diarrhea ... I can't hold it in.

4) Do you have a library card, 'cause I'd like to sign you out.

5) Is there a mirror in your pants? Because I can see myself in them.

6) If you and I were Squirrels, I'd store my nuts in your hole.

7) You might not be the best looking girl here, but beauty is only a light switch away.

8) Man - Fat Penguin ! Woman - WHAT? Man - I just wanted to say something that would break the ice.

9) I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I bet I can make your bed rock.

10) I can't find my puppy, can you help me find him? I think he went into this cheap motel room.

11) Your eyes are as blue as window cleaner.

12) If you're going to regret this in the morning, we can sleep until the afternoon.

13) Your face reminds me of a wrench, every time I think of it my nuts tighten up.

Desired Constellation

It's tricky when
You feel someone
Has done something
On your behalf

It's slippery when
Your sense of justice
Murmurs underneath
And is asking you:

How am I going to make it right?

With a palm full of stars
I throw them like dice
Repeatedly
I shake them like dice
And throw them on the table
Repeatedly
Repeatedly
Until the desired constellation appears
And I ask myself:

How am I going to make it right?
How am I going to make it right?
How am I going to make it right?
And you hear
How am I going to make it right?

I've been listening to this song on repeat for about 20 minutes....

I'm tired, I'm cranky and I'm craving cheese.

Not much to say these days, I'm exhausted from all this school work I've been doing, and the super late nights (staying up and working on assignments but doing more of nothing than something) But school's out for a month, just have to do a couple exams. Woo hoo. I can't believe it's December already, it freaks me out. I will be 27 in 24 days. What the hell is happening.....at least all of my friends have recently turned 27, or will be joining me in a couple of months. woo!
