Saturday morning: Edmonton style

I’ve touched down safely on the West Coast. My plane rides were surprisingly less terrifying and more enjoyable. My tongue was pretty much wagging as I fought to look out the windows.

No celeb sightings at the TO airport. I was really looking forward to high fiving the beibs.

I got to Britt’s apartment at 130am and we got some eats. Yesterday we got up, got some lunch at this little café, the Artisan, and I got my hair did at the Dandy Salon, whaa? Then we walked to the university where Britt works and she let me fish in the bio lab. Yeah, you heard that correctly. Then we took an hour bus ride to the West Ed Mall (EEEE!), ate dinner at this awesome spot called Moxie’s and bought IMAX Eclipse tickets!

The day was super exhausting but fun. We’d planned on going out for the evening but I got a massive headache and passed out at 10pm. I woke up with a penis on my face. THANKS BRITT, YOU ASSHOLE.

Ya, so far Edmonton is kicking my ass. I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to buy better sneakers or a hover round. BRITT: GET A CAR.

B’s apartment is perfect and cute. It’s a one bedroom about 25’ by 20’, has a normous tv (THANKS loser ex bf), her bed, a futon (pour moi) and an adorable teeny kitchen and bathroom. It’s just the right size for one person. IIIIIIIIIIIIII want.
 
Today, my heads still being a little biotch so imma go pop some advil in a min. We’re gonna try and go to the ZOO today, so be prepared for a whack load of pointless animal pictures. We also need to get some groceries…in a bad way. Britt’s fridge contents consist of a door full of random condiments and a jug of water…also we might pick up some light bulbs. Cuz about 90% of the lights in her 1 bedroom are out. :|.

shortays like a melody in my head

I'm leaving today !! FUCK IM EXCITED TO SEE THIS PERSON.

Enjoy the epicness that is years of us making messed up faces together:

i love her.

also this...


PEACE mo fos xo

Double tagged. (that’s what she said)

I was tagged by two awesome bloggers BISCUIT and FINDING EVERYTHING LOVELY to answer some q's:

biscuit
1. what person/blog or reason gave you the idea that blogging would be fun?
My gorgeous friend m. found here. Last week she fell down the stairs and still managed to come to my birthday party. She rocks my socks.

2. what is your favorite flavor of ice cream? if you don't eat ice cream, what is your favorite dessert?
YUMM. Every time I go to an ice cream shop I get two diff kinds in the same bowl (doesn’t everyone?). I would choose two out of: cotton candy, mint chip fudge, birthday cake, cookie dough and puppy paws.

3. have you ever been chased by a wild animal? where were you and why was it chasing you?
Bahahahaa! Does a hornet count? (all such little bastards)

4. do you think that the government should shut NASA down? if so, why? if not, why?
No way, I freakin love nasa. Pretty much hope to someday live on a space station.

5. what are you favorite pizza toppings? if you don't eat pizza, do you like spaghetti?
PIZZA could be one of the best things on the planet. I like the works: pepperoni, cheese, green peps, onions, mushrooms. I HATE pineapple, olives, Italian sausage, bacon or hamburger meat. Too bad the rest of my family love them.

6. who is your favorite sanrio character?
Duh, hello kitty. (are there others? I can only remember the little frog dude. Oh and I guess hello kittys sister…what’s her name.)

7. do you have any pets? do you feed them table scraps?
TWO FAT CATS whom I love. Yes, yes and yes, if I ever ate at the table. I give them bits of chicken and tuna when im cooking in the kitchen and they both like to lick my dishes clean. (Liam is a freak for yogurt and Cali for some reason really digs toast crumbs..)

8. what is your favorite mixed drink? (alcoholic)
I would have to say homemade punch: fruit punch and lemonade frozen concentrates + some spritz up (cuz who can afford sprite) + some grapefruit soda + a pint of vodka + a pint of triple sec. I promise you, you cannot taste the alcohol and it totally kicks ass. I made it this past weekend and was actually putting more vodka into each glass I took. It was glorious.

If im at a bar, bahama mamma OR long island iced tea. Or vodka lime cuz they’re always cheap…



Finding everything lovely
EIGHT TAGS FOR 8 questions.
1. Do you eat at Taco Bell? If no, why? If yes, what is your favorite thing to order?
LOVE taco bell. There is not one in the city where I live, the closest is about an hour and a half away. BUT when I go there, I go there. (It is also a KFC/taco bell, so they have fries) Combo #3 I believe, 2 hard supreme tacos with supreme fries. Mild Salsa and a ½ lb beef burrito on the side. IT’S THE ULTIMATE MEAL.

2. Are you going to the Eclipse midnight showing in your city/town? if yes, do you have an entourage? if no, what do you think about the people who ARE going? BEEEEE HONEST ;). ha ha ha.
I will be vacationing in Edmonton, Alberta at the time visiting my sister who lives there, and I’ve already got her to buy the tickets for the Thursday evening show (sry, not the midnight show…I’ll be sleeping then…). She has never seen any of the movies or read the books, so prior we will be having a twilight/new moon marathon to learn her up good. Also I have two of the same Team Jacob t-shirts which I am going to make her wear with me. Caaaaaaaaan’t wait.

3. Do you exhibit Road Rage? If so, what do you typically do to show your distaste for a stupid driver?
I have the worst road rage. I give death stares like no other, often the finger but not to people too close or stopped beside me, and I’m a yeller. I talk to the drivers like they can hear me. Just yesterday I was thinking how I need a little white board to sit on my passenger seat beside me so when I pull up beside the asshole who drove 80 in the passing lane on a 90 highway on a nice sunny day I can death stare him AND hold up a sign that says “thanks for driving 80 in the passing lane ASSHOLE.” (this happened yesterday)

4. Who is your primary inspiration? Why?
Gaaah. Everyone around me. Im a molder. I find my style, composition, mannerisms are molded by the people/media I surround myself with.

5. Did you play with Barbie’s when you were little?
HECK YES. I wish I still had them…

6. What was your WORST hair do, ever? Cut? Color? post a picture if you have one.
Oh harsh. The night I dyed my hair black and epically failed. It turned bright blue black, was hideous. The next morning my sister helped me hide from my parents. We bleached it twice and then dyed it back to brown. The people at the sears hair salon told me that my hair would fall out. It didn’t, thank goodness. But my scalp burned for the whole day.

7. Are you political?
I don’t follow politics, but I am very political in day to day life. I have very low tact, so I consciously try to think about what I say before I say it. I like it when people like me.

8. What do you think about Harry Potter?
Harry potter has been in my life since I was in gr 6. he’s pretty awesome. I love the books, and the movies are pretty good too (except for the last one that came out..brutal) and Daniel Radcliffe will never be any one other than harry potter. Deal with it kid.

It’s my party and I’ll drink-my-face-off if I want to!

 Tonight I am hosting an early birthday get together for myself. I turn the double 2 on June 28th, but since I’ll be in Alberta, I wanted to ensure a shin dig on my home soil as well.

There are about a thousand things I want/need to accomplish tonight and over the course of this weekend. Stressed. (But in a good way?)

Baah, haha. Next Thursday I’ll be jet-setting for the west coast and a reunion unlike any this world has ever seen.

This past week, I was last minute (and I mean the afternoon of the day before) invited to a REALLY IMPORTANT meeting, and I had to present the work I had done pertaining to the project. I stayed in SJ overnight at JB's and was proposed to by a handsome Nigerian at olearys. (I accepted, of course.)

Tomorrow I am heading to Moncton for another girlys birthday. Sunday I’ll be going to the camp with my faja to open it up for the summer. The rest of he coming week will pretty much be taken up by work and prepping for Thursday’s departure.

Oh and I wanted to mention I’ve started this little 30 day journal challenge: today is day 5, but Imma slacker so I only have 4 done. Here’s the first…

...it's supposed to be an introductory page. Baaaha.

Ps Work is insaaaaane. Am I a student? Or am I a student? Cuz I didn't realize I was your #1 employee slash go-to-girl for all things electrical. Ha ha...I am loving it tho.


Good weekends to you all xo

Giveaway winners announced!

Untitled from Tyler Fraser on Vimeo.


i will be emailing the winners shortly for addresses and such

congratulations! thanks for following and reading ma blog. hope you enjoy the surprises i added :D

Because I need to get rid of the giant photo of me and my ‘noff that keeps poppin up every time I open my blog page at work

I gotta say my favorite part about putting on deodorant is when you get to the end. That deceptive end. And all of a sudden you’ve got an armpitfull/shirtfull/brafull of slimy watermelon smelling white chunks. My all time favorite is when it happens while you’re sitting at your work desk, and then you have to fish out all the pieces, extremely carefully I might add, in order to avoid smudging them across your black sweater or giving your office a free peep show. Good times. Really. The best.

Lady Speed Stick: How about I put the patent on a warning line that gives us girls a fair heads up when we’re about to make an ass out of ourselves.

14 days and counting til I’m standing on Edmonton soil. I am scary excited for this trip, it’s not even funny. Yesterday I forced my sister to have a discussion on things I should pack. (Yeah, scary…however informative) I’ve also written up a formal schedule of what we should do and researched every landmark to visit.


ok, Twilight Warning.

The eclipse soundtrack has been playing non stop on my computer for the past 2 days and I might just be in love. (It’s about time I’ve found someone who treats me right) Thank gawd it’s so much better than the new moon soundtrack. (Which was awful FYI, for those of you fortunate enough not to buy it. My opinion, of course)

Ok, now forget for a minute that this has anything to do with Twilight (cough Robyn cough) and give a listen or better yet download these songs, my (current) favorites:

Let’s Get Lost – Beck & Bat for Lashes
Eclipse (All Yours) – Metric
With You In My Head – UNKLE The Black Angels
Heavy In Your Arms – Florence and the Machine
What Part Of Forever – Cee-Lo Green
A Million Miles an Hour – Eastern Conference Champions

Do it.

You know it's been 2 months since mine and Colins last amicable correspondance. It was this: Hello, I noticed your sweet ride is in the parking lot does that mean you will be laying your beautiful head in SJ tonight? 

Hard to believe it's been so long.  Since then
They've got back together

Colin bought a house in the country

She moved in with him

It's hard to believe so much has happened and it's been this long, and i'm still not over it.

I really miss him.
I'm really not over it.

Dunna dunna dunna. Dunna dunna dunna. (mario level 2)

So I've recently been introduced to Texts from Last Night. We’ve since become fast friends and may in the near future even begin seeing each other romantically. Don’t mind if he pops up a few times within this post, he just has no filter. (One of the reasons I like him so much.)


Maybe we should try and tone it down a notch. The neighbors changed the name of their wifi network to "i can hear you having sex"

Gary boy aka Boston Red Sox and I have been continuously texting again this week. It's rather nice. And it's interesting looking at the msg screen on my ol'pearl and just see his name repeatedly as I scroll down. It's been awhile. This weekend he is in Moncton at a Voltswagon car show with some buddies.


Last night, my friend changed all my contacts in my phone. I have been texted by Batman, Donatello, and Hermione Granger. I have no idea who they are, and it doesn't upset me at all.

Another plus, Colin has been behaving as he should be and so have I. I’m getting more comfortable around him, allowing for no make up days and frequently more casual hair...bringing back the pony tail, baby. I mean, sure, if I’m looking extra hot (har dee har) one day then I might strut by his desk a few more times than necessary, but that’s just fun.

i would really appreciate it if you would stop texting my girlfriend.
i would really appreciate it if you would stop cock blocking me.

Things I'm looking forward to this month that make my stomach bunch into little whizzing rocket ships:
ECLIPSE Soundtrack release June 8th - 2 days
ECLIPSE Movie premiere June 30th - 24 days
A. Campbells 25th birthday celebration June 19th - 13 days
MY VACATION TO VISIT MY SISTER IN ALBERTA June 24th - 18 days
oh, and my 22nd birthday June 28th - 22 days

I told her I was team Edward. I haven't gotten laid that easy since I told your sister that I had cancer

Still up in the air whether or not im going to have an early bday celebration (since i will be away on the day). I can't decide if Friday night was a partying incentive or turn off. Let's begin with these gems:

me and Whit and our booze. We took these after making a night goal that we would finish all of it. That was around 7:30pm. (Is posing for pictures with booze a possible symptom for alcoholism?)

My vag wants to play a game of hungry hungry hippos with your cock.

More and more friends showed up until Whitney was sloppily fbing her neighbors "Apparently I'm having people over!" Someone brought out the Super Nintendo and it quickly became a full on Mario Party. At some point cabs were called and we all made our way downtown to Sweetwaters aka iRock aka they-should-just-stop-changing-the-name-cuz-there-was-nothing-wrong-with-it-to-begin-with for some cage dancing. On the walk in one of Whitney's brand new shoes broke. Then we're inside channeling the pussy cat dolls. Somehow there's a drink in my hand. (This is like a dream sequence) I run into some old friends and am convinced the chicks name is CALIOPE (accent the E like EH) therefore I'm repeatedly cat calling her across the crowd "CALIOPE! CALIOPE!" We get Pita Pit and I'm walking around outside ripping off pieces I don't feel are necessary to my pita and chucking them (wow, I hope lots of people I know saw me doing that). One of the buddies I met and I walk 5 km to his apt and next thing I know I'm having a conversation with actor Ben Foster and waking up fully clothed and drooling on a couch surrounded by Bionical figurines.

you kept singing the copa cabana and saying HAVE A BANANA to random people on the street. you also went up to this poor short guy and hugged him while proceeding to yell I LOVE YOU CHILD MAN into his face. please tell me you're sober now

Interesting night. Raging hangover. Couldn't decide whether I wanted to throw up, fart, use the bathroom, eat, sleep or drink more first. Fortunately, (or not so fortunately) that decision was made for me.


First off: I'm drunk so fuck you. Second: you weren't a bad girlfriend. Tres: thats 3 in spanish. Number 4: fuck 3 Doors Down

Today's the last day I've got alone in my house. Either late today or tomorrow the parents will be back, all tanned and gloriously refreshed from their 8 week stint in a Florida condo. I was planning on going into work (honest, I was) but I woke up this morning and just decided to take this final day and run with it. Also I didn't want to be alone with Colin at work. Thursday he moved into the new house he just bought. His gf is also going to live there. I don't want to know...anything, thank you.

On that rather depressing note I'm suddenly craving a greasy grilled cheese.

Read em and weep people.
the red head has a bf
just because there's a goalie doesn't mean u can't score

in the middle of sex he stopped to tell me that he loved me... then slapped my ass and told me "back to business"... im gonna marry him

So i guess my mom went into the kitchen and asked me why i was making mac and cheese at 4 in the morning and apparently i yelled at her to "get the fuck back bitch you don't know my life"

And my ultimate favorite: Heyyyy darlin are you busy?
Why hello drunk Jake. It's sober Sarah, I'll tell drunk Sarah you booty called. She'll probably be around tomorrow night.

Ya. We've all been there. Later lovelies xo. o ya and enter my giveaway bitches. ends next sunday, whaa?
