Just a quick post. Random deep though.
There's nothing more fulfilling in life than to truly know you helped advance and shape a life. If you've done that at least once, you have paid back an enormous karmic debt. You'll know. You'll feel it. I finally feel all of mine, and it couldn't have come at a more important time.
Christmas time is the time for giving. Mostly for giving unselfishly to yourself.
So this is Christmas... and what have you done?
Well... I helped shape the world. I'm off to a good start.
I think this new year that's just beginning is going to be the best one yet. It has to be. I owe it to myself. I owe it to the world.
I don't know how I'm going to accomplish this, but I'm going to make everyone proud. You just wait and see.

Random Thoughts.
Okay... I'm gonna use this one blog post to last me all day. It's going to be random thoughts and whatnot. I just feel like typing something out and so bare with me on this one, lol. I promise not to be too boring.
Today, my mother and I are about to head out on a fanTAStic journey... to the shopping mall. Guess why it's so fantastic!!! Lol! With the weather we've been having... no one has wanted to head out the door to finish their shopping until today. I swear it's true! So we're going to have quite the crowds to brave, I'm afraid. But hopefully mom can stick it out. I know I'll be having a hard time... agoraphobia and claustrophobia and all... not good!
Last night I had 2 dreams that I did NOT want to wake from. My Gawd! They were pretty cool. The first one is kinda pathetic and typical of the thought of not wanting to wake up, lol. You know... you find a loverboy... get all cozy, yadda yadda yadda, you end up not wanting to wake up. Figures! BUT! The second dream... Sigh... I wish it was a reality.
I ended up calling an old friend for Christmas to wish him a good time for the holidays and whatnot, and in the dream, he listened to the message with all his family around and they kept telling him to call me back because they really like me and wanted him to be polite. So he did call me back, on Christmas, and we spent hours talking and we were making plans for the following days... Like... good one on one plans. NOT the naughty type... though possibly if I had stayed asleep long enough to see it unfold, it may have led to that.
But... it was just so nice to hear his voice... I miss him a lot, you know. It's one of those friendships that you don't want to see end even if it's clear that it's going to or whatever. When someone has made that much of an impact on your life, you kind of dread the idea that they won't be a part of your life forever. They become one of the most important people in the family that you choose. And yes... he definitely has become really important to me. Everyone who knows me also knows it's true. Maybe he knows, too. Maybe he doesn't. And sometimes... that kills me.
So I'll be "celebrating" Christmas a day early this year. My brother was called into work on Christmas day, so we're going to have the whole dinner thing and whatnot on the day before. Don't feel bad for him, though. He gets double time and a half... which means he makes about 30$ an hour for an 8 hour shift. Yeah... If only I had a job. I'd DEFINITELY be in on Christmas!! Merry Christmas to me! A slow day AND a very high pay! What more could you ask for? lol!
Anyways... Time for me to go and get dressed and start my day.
It's only 2:51pm. I'll definitely be back before 4am tomorrow morning.
Hang tight!

Late Night Ramblings
Alright...
So... I don't really know why I'm blogging at the moment. I mean... I do... because I think too much, but I don't have any chosen subject to conquer. So bare with me, please ;-)
I guess I've taken a page from Jeff. I've been thinking sooo much that I end up staying awake late and well... everything is off balance. I can't really explain it. But something that really hits the spot for me that has made me think is a part of a lyric from a famous song that plays all the time around Christmas. The song is called So This Is Christmas.
The first verse is what gets to me. As a refresher:
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Yeah... this is Christmas season. A whole year has gone by. What has happened in a year? Nothing. What has changed in this past year? Well... once again, the honest answer is: Nothing. A whole year where shit-all has changed. It's just as bad as it always was.
Tomorrow will make the one year anniversary of when my mother finally told my brother and father that we were never returning to live at the house again. We officially made our getaway. And nothing has changed since then. Absolutely nothing.
I always had this feeling of the apartment being stagnant on creativity... perhaps that is why nothing has changed. I am a creative force, and being in a place that hinders my creativity could be the very reason I've got nothing done. I need to be out of this area to be able to do anything, but I can't leave this area without having done anything to gain what I need to move away. Gah! It's soooo complicated!
It's funny because I can't write ANYTHING when in this place, but the moment I'm somewhere else, a FLOOD of ideas hits me. There's something really off with the energies in my apartment and in the entire building itself. It doesn't work well with me and so I don't work well with anything else, either.
And it's why I'm seen as such a failure. I know everyone sees me as that.
My mother and father tried having a talk about me, as in what would happen to me if my mother died. Well... In my defense, I AM an adult. I could figure out something. And I could probably live well on some type of aid for awhile as I am quite a penny pincher. But honestly... there was only one thought that came to mind when this topic was brought up. A thought that most would be shocked to hear... or at least pretend to be shocked to hear. And it's very simple.
My only thought was : There's no need to be worrying about that, because it's going to be me who dies first. I just see it that way. If I'm such a failure, it's better for me to die first, anyways, right?
And even if that doesn't happen to be the case... Aren't failures supposed to be homeless and wrecked? So I guess that's where I'm destined to be. And no one seems to really care if that changes or not. So be it.
But honestly, how can you expect me to have faith in anything when all I was ever told was that I was never good enough in anything? Doing decent, or enough to get by, is not doing good enough.
What's a talent if it doesn't sparkle and shine?
When you hear something so often about yourself, you come to believe it, and find it so hard to believe any word of good.
I've begun to be blind to the words I've heard before, and shut out what I haven't.
Everyone wants to be right. I'm here giving them what they want. They're being proven right in calling me a failure. And yet... that STILL ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH for anyone.
What is wrong with this world?!

Take A Chance On Me (song)
Can you love me just for today?
Help heal the pain of hurts before
Can you walk with me and hold my hand?
Or will you just walk out the door?
Sometimes it’s just not enough
Sometimes I’m just nothing, but…
CHORUS:
Take a chance on me
Give me time to make you see
I can’t bear to have you leave
For once, have faith in me
Just take a chance on me
I sit here, broken once again
Like the wall you punched right through
No matter what I try to think
It all comes back to you
And I tried to make you happy
And it wasn’t worth a fight
You couldn’t have ever listened to me
And you raised your hand that night
Sometimes I’m not good enough
I may be worth nothing, but…
CHORUS
And tonight may be the end
Will my heart find strength to mend?
If you don’t take the time to…
CHORUS
Please stop hurting me
Either let me just be free
Or else take a chance on me
{11:30AM ; Nov 26, 2008}

Feeling Floaty
So... I finally did it!
I was afraid to call... You know... that whole "looking needy" thing and all. But I was having a rough time and I just needed to hear a voice of someone that I trusted, whether that be a pre-recorded voice or not.
So at lunch break, I did it. I called his number, once again expecting to get the voicemail machine as every other time I've ever called. I was ready to leave a very quick message, too. Either in anger, frustration, fear of the day, whatever. Just SOMETHING told me inside that I needed to call. I'm so glad I got that push.
Right before the voicemail was ready to go off, he answered. My face would have been very freaking funny to see. I was beyond shocked. I was shocked, happy, excited, nervous, everything in one. I was very glad to hear his voice on the other side of the line. All the frustrations of the morning and the depression and whatnot of the night before was totally erased and forgotten. It felt great.
So we talked about everything and nothing all in one. That's just what we've always been like. I really appreciated the fact that he stayed on the line with me until someone came by to talk to me in the lunch room. A full half hour of talking... I needed that. I made sure to thank him for it.
Also, I've finally heard him say my name. I know it sounds stupid and whatnot, but out of all the years I've known him, I've not once remembered him saying my name. So for a long time, I wanted him to. I have come close to asking him to say it many times before. I just wanted to hear how he'd pronounce my name or something. I don't know how to explain it, but for some reason it just meant a lot to me if I could hear him say my name. Weird, I know, but true.
So when saying goodbye, right before hanging up, he said it. It did something to me. I got a sudden calmness come over me... right down to my very core. Like everything was finally right in the world. It was such a nice feeling. I really needed that. And he pronounced my name the way I like it to be pronounced! Not many people say it right, but he did! That definitely made me happy.
Needless to say, I had a permasmile for the rest of the day. Everyone else was glad to see that I was finally in a good mood, too. Only... they didn't know the extent of how happy I was. How calm and appreciated I felt inside.
Something really changed. Something really did feel right in the world. I don't know how to explain that in any other way. It just... felt amazing.
There was some bad stuff that happened afterwards, but that's okay. Things have went bad, but they got better. And I'm still feeling floaty deep down. That's the best part.
I love this feeling. I'm more appreciative of having him in my life than ever.
I just hope he knows how much I appreciate him. Even just being there.
I love him for him.

Letter To A Loved One
Dear Loved One,
Hello there. It's been a long time since I've spoken with you. I hope your life is going well and that you're getting closer to acheiving all your life dreams you have day-by-day. We had many fun times talking about each other's dreams for the future. I always appreciated the way we shared. You always knew just the right way to make me feel special. I kind of miss that, but I'm thankful it ever happened at all.
I know it's been awhile... And you may have forgotten about me. You may have forgotten what we used to do together, but I sure don't. You had such a big impact on my life, and I'm so glad a Higher Power brought you along right when I needed you quite a few years ago and so blessed I was to have you stick by me until that one big day. You may not know it, but you were a rock in my life and you were my favourite rock. When everything else went crazy, I could count on you to be there and make me smile. I hope everyone in the world gets to have something as special as what I had when you came around.
You've taught me so much in the small amount of years we've known each other. You taught me how to smile again. You taught me how to stay brave in hard times. You taught me the rock and roll ways of normal life. That was fun! You were my rockstar, and I was very happy to have a rockstar as a friend for all those years. Someone in the world who thought the same way I did was something very special to me.
The best thing you taught me, though, was how to trust again. When you first came around I was like an abused puppy. Scared, beaten, afraid, and untrusting of the kind who hurt me. But you took it slow. You eased in and promised not to hurt me. And for once in so long, someone had finally kept their word.
I thought you hurt me when you went away, but I see now that the "reason, season and lifetime" where I was to have you around has come and gone. You knew it before I did. I now know the reason, remember the season, and will carry your memory for a lifetime.
If we ever cross paths again, I hope you remember little ole me. I hope you smile back to me when I wave. I hope somehow I made a difference in your life, too.
Thank you for everything you've given to me. You brought hope for a brighter tomorrow into my life. Who knows if I would have even survived all those years if you hadn't come into my life?
One thing is sure. You are and always will be my favourite rockstar.
Thanks for listening to everything I had to say. You were a strong shoulder to lean on. I wanted to be there for you, too, but we just couldn't meet in the middle. But that's okay. You still changed my life, anyways.
Thank you for being real. Thank you for affecting my life in the most positive way.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you for being.
Sincerely,
-Amanda.

#$%@ing Boys!!!
Today was a fun day out. I may not have gotten much sleep or nourishment, but it was still good.
It started with being woken up really early by the phone, then it was construction workers and renovation workers. Couldn't get any extra sleep in. So yeah... reminder to me... Don't go to bed at 4am!!! Lol. At least... not when good weather is predicted... it gets hard to sleep in with all the noise.
Then Mel texted me... and we decided today was a day to chill together. So I got ready, she came over "after" school, lol, and we chilled, but then we decided we should head off and do other stuff, lol. So we left to Pick & Chews, and then hopped the bus.
First we missed the bus we wanted to get on, so we had to take a different one... which was alright, but not actually the initial plan. Oh well.
So we got to Mel's place, dropped her stuff off and set out once again. Lots of walking. We went nuts, plain and simple, lol. Ran into a few people... found out we were allergic to sluts, etc. LMAO!!
After spending time walking, we went off to the park... which was pretty much the end of our day, lol. Lots of hours together. It's a wonder we don't actually get sick of each other, lol.
So here's some fun stuff, lol.
A Day In The Park
(click to see full size)
First... we mess around with our cell phones while lying in the grass. It was nice.
Oh... not to mention we made a few funny phonecalls during the day, haha.
Then... I took a lovely little video. Lol. Turn up sound to hear... Park does not have good acoustics, lol.
And before we set off... Mel asked me to draw on her. I did quite a few but here are the ones I'm proud of (LOL!) All that's missing is her "Telus Slave" tattoo I gave her, lol. The others weren't so great, lol.
This one I'm most proud of! lol!
And well... I needed a shot of my makeup... though it didn't turn out well and I was at home by that time... the day was over... I'm still going to post it anyways. Would have been better when it was fresh, but evs. This is good enough, lol.
So yeah... that was my day :-P Nothing special, but fun nonetheless.
Will try and update this more frequently again. We'll see if I ever have anything to share, lol.

Don't go to bed at 4am!!! Lol. At least... not when good weather is predicted... it gets hard to sleep in with all the noise.
Then Mel texted me... and we decided today was a day to chill together. So I got ready, she came over "after" school, lol, and we chilled, but then we decided we should head off and do other stuff, lol. So we left to Pick & Chews, and then hopped the bus.
First we missed the bus we wanted to get on, so we had to take a different one... which was alright, but not actually the initial plan. Oh well.
So we got to Mel's place, dropped her stuff off and set out once again. Lots of walking. We went nuts, plain and simple, lol. Ran into a few people... found out we were allergic to sluts, etc. LMAO!!
After spending time walking, we went off to the park... which was pretty much the end of our day, lol. Lots of hours together. It's a wonder we don't actually get sick of each other, lol.
So here's some fun stuff, lol.
A Day In The Park
(click to see full size)
First... we mess around with our cell phones while lying in the grass. It was nice.
Oh... not to mention we made a few funny phonecalls during the day, haha.
Then... I took a lovely little video. Lol. Turn up sound to hear... Park does not have good acoustics, lol.
And before we set off... Mel asked me to draw on her. I did quite a few but here are the ones I'm proud of (LOL!) All that's missing is her "Telus Slave" tattoo I gave her, lol. The others weren't so great, lol.
This one I'm most proud of! lol!
And well... I needed a shot of my makeup... though it didn't turn out well and I was at home by that time... the day was over... I'm still going to post it anyways. Would have been better when it was fresh, but evs. This is good enough, lol.
So yeah... that was my day :-P Nothing special, but fun nonetheless.
Will try and update this more frequently again. We'll see if I ever have anything to share, lol.

All In The Name Of Art
It's Sunday! What does that mean? Another Sunday episode! Wooo! Only 3 or 4 more shows left! Are you antsy for the finale yet? haha!
The morning started when I woke up shortly after 7 (quite shortly) and I checked the mirror. I looked like an effing corpse! I mean like... Holy cannoli! All around my eyes was very very dark circles. So I decided I needed to fix that. And my hair was showing signs of not wanting to cooperate, and surely enough, my hair won the battle this morning and I went with my natural curliness. Yuck! But evs.
So I got ready as I normally do, brushed my teeth extra long to make sure I could make up a bit for the week and to make sure there was NO WAY that I was going to have bad breath. I also lost the battle against my hair and had a type of 'fro going on. I also caked on the makeup like never before. Hid everything, so that was good.
Went to pick up the kiddies and went to bowling. Got there and it was like an instant upper. I felt good... Needed that.
Got a few compliments here and there very quietly, which was kinda nice, but I just HAD to follow up with why I look different. They either nodded or rolled their eyes... Which I quite expected, honestly. But one dude went further than that and made a really obvious compliment. Shoeboy. It was sweet, but I could see Birdie constantly giving us the "winkwinknudgenudge" look with her eyes after that... And I steered clear as much as I could and kept my mouth shut, too.
I bowled against Mugzie... which was cool. She's such a little sweetheart. Bless her cotton socks. And she's really creative. She showed me the ideas that she and a friend have been coming up with for stories. She's definitely got a lot of potential in anything she wants to do.
And there was a lot of talk about hockey, tattoos and piercings, and well... "mystical" things, I guess. It was cool.
So all in all, my bowling sucked, and it sucked being far away from my other friends, but it went well.
I got Shoeboy to sacrifice the soul of his hands in the name of art, and he gladly and quickly agreed! Woo! :-) Makes my day. OH! We talked about that, too, haha!
So bless Mel's cottonsocks, too, since she brought her camera AND batteries... which stupid me only realised I forgot my own at home once we got to the corner of my street to head out. It was too late to turn back, but thankfully Mel's brain works a little better than mine first thing in the morning.
So while waiting for Mel... I snapped a few pics. These are mine. I hate cell quality pics. It's so evident why!
Shoeboy was laughing at some jokes Birdie was saying. She could very well be the queen of YukYuks!
Megan looked so cute sippin on her drink so I had to try and take a pic... My cell has TERRIBLE shutter speed, though.
And well... Had to snap another of Shoeboy... One with a proper smile, lol. Cell soooo sucked for this!
And I got some of Birdie and Mugzie together, but I'm keeping that for my private little collection.
Now for Mel's pics. Only posting the links, because the files are really big. I want a cam, dammit!
Mel posing while I held the camera.

Mugzie was wired... No sleep mixed with sugar... Nearly lethal combination! haha! But poor Sandy was NOT feeling the day. It wasn't such a good morning for her, poor girl... Guys can be DINKS (teehee)!

Mel and Mugzie feeling goofy...
http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/shortys_world/April%202008/pics_009.jpg
I snap a pic...
http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/shortys_world/April%202008/pics_007.jpg
And then Mel snaps an action shot! haha!
http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/shortys_world/April%202008/pics_006.jpg
And then there's Mel with Shoeboy...
http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/shortys_world/April%202008/pics_012.jpg
Teehee... Mel... you looked SO happy ;-) bahahaha!
And then I went in for my pic with Shoeboy... And Mel's bro had to go and ruin the fun. Shoeboy made me feel bad because he decided to crouch to be at my head level and I bet that wasn't too comfy! LOL!
http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/shortys_world/April%202008/pics_010.jpg
And then we went in for another one. Much better. We were our regular heights and no messing up the pic, haha! Poor Eric... I kinda slapped his arm a little hard to teach him the error of his ways. Hope you aren't hurt like your sis! (Same arm, too, omg!)
http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/shortys_world/April%202008/pics_011.jpg
And so Mel and Sandy took off together to chill, I took off to drop off the kiddies at their place, and then was left to my lonesome at home... Snapped MORE pics there, lol.
So... waiting in the van to get to our parking spot...
And then walking to my apartment building, I decided to try taking some pics... checking how the lighting is. I have to say I officially LOVE the lighting in my underground parking. I will definitely snap some more pics down there again, lol. Look at the lighting on this! Perfect!
And so... that concludes this episode. Hope you liked!
Keep tuned in for more... perhaps during the week... perhaps only on next Sunday. We'll see!

Let The Playoffs Begin!!
A new Sunday episode! Woo! You knew it was coming, lol.
Well let's start with the fact that I had nearly no sleep once again. Let's not go into details, but I was up really late and then I couldn't even stay asleep longer than 45 minutes at a time, and decided to completely get up and stay up by 6:45 am. Nuts? Just a little, but at least I had all the time I needed to get ready nicely and even have breakfast for once! Guess it's just what the doctor ordered because I got more and more alert as the morning progressed and didn't feel as sick to my stomach as when I first woke up. This proved to be a very good thing during the bowling game as I had plenty an opportunity to throw up all over the wrong person to embarrass mysef in front of. So I was safe.
Oh... I kind of like my team. I have someone from my previous team with me as well as someone that I can get along with, but from what I've seen... I'm going to be the only girl bowling on my team. It sucks, but I just have to live with it.
My friends ended up on the same team as each other, as well as landing some extra team eye candy for them, so I guess that's good. The dude is personally not my taste, especially since I know a few tidbits about him that aren't to my liking, but no one needs to know that stuff for now... Let them drool... so long as I don't step in their slobber and get sticky shoesoles, I'll be fine with it.
One of my friends brought her boyfriend over and it became this not-so-happy place to be. It pissed off quite a few heads. I guess I was pissed, too, because I started violently picking on her boyfriend all of a sudden. First it started innocently with Eric, but he was boring and Shoeboy was behind the counter, so too hard to harass... Casey was an easy target... ish.
It didn't really help the situation, but hey... I tried.
Oh... and I got my closure, so I'm actually happy. Things are going good. Actually... things could be looking up. We'll see in May.
I miss actually having a friend on my team, but it's only for 4 more weeks... So I can deal with it just fine. Sigh... 4 more weeks and then I will be bowling when the moon is out and with a bottle of Smirnoff beside my purse... And actually be allowed to drink while bowling. Seems like only yesterday it was my first day of bowling and I was a scared little girl and wanted to leave ASAP. Now, 10 years later, I'm a crazy little woman who wants to stay! Gee... funny how that one changed around.
So yeah... as we were waiting for our rides/people to be done bowling, I once again whipped out my cell and used the camera feature. But I only took pictures. No video though at one point I was ready to use video because Shoeboy was being mean and wouldn't stop dancing around so I could take a picture.
So here are the pics! :
Mel HATES it when people violate the law!
Shoeboy wouldn't stop dancing around... but I caught him!
Then Mel decided to force him to pose by squashing him into her. Does he look happy or WHAT?! lol:
Then the lovebirds wanted pics taken... so I did it. I think they wanted it in black and white, though. Oops.
And then Megan wanted a coloured pic for her MSN
And then Daryl and I were left alone for a little bit and he started acting goofy, so I snapped a pic of it!
And a quick hug and a few waves goodbye, and it was off to catch our ride!
And that is how we end this week's episode. Tune in for more!

Bichtes and Pimps!
Welcome to another episode of Super Sunday Boredom!
I know you enjoy our show, so here's another great episode for you!
So yeah... It was bowling, and Shoeboy was back in action. Woo! After 3 weeks of not hearing from him or seeing him, we finally do! And it was one heck of a lot of fun, lol. And we got him to be really crazy. Why? Because we're all just cool like that.
I showed up in the dress shirt that I remade... I will wear it again soon so I can take pics to show you all. It's freaking awesome. I got a lot of attention for it, which I thought was pretty fun, even if it went from positive to not-so-positive... it was fun! :-P Gotta love being able to screw people up with chinese symbols!
As far as bowling goes, my scores sucked at the start, but I got back to my average in the third game. Though the best bowlers on each team were actually the worst today. I don't know what got into them, but they usually bowl things like 250+ games, and now they bowled under 100. I felt really bad for them. They were really ticked and their games suffered a lot.
We also found out that this was the last week of regular bowling. That means we start playoffs next week. That also means we are switching teams so the chances of us being alone on our team without a friend are really high. And it sucks... I actually liked how simple and fun my team was. But it's the rules of the league, so I guess I gotta do like everyone else and suck it up and bowl. And playoffs means only 6 more weeks of seeing everyone and then I am no longer in the YBC. It means I will be bowling at night with adults in the adult leagues. My time in the YBC flew right by me. It's going to be sad to graduate at the ceremony, but it has to be done. Bittersweet goodbye to the league, I guess.
Anyways... enough sappy crappy stuff... On to some fun!
So we were wild and crazy as per usual. But we didn't go to the counter often, as the snobby bitches were there. I did go back somewhat frequently to powder my shoes because there was nearly zero glide on my shoes and that is NOT good for me.
We had fun chatting and talking about everything and nothing all at the same time. Before you knew it... the games were over. And I was the last to be done, yet again.
I made the phonecall to my mother to come and pick us up, and then we all went to the counter to wait. I, of course, took out my phone and decided to do crazy stuff with it... Like show my ringtone, which then got copied by Shoeboy and made me almost piss my pants from laughing so hard, and then making a video, and then ended by taking pitures ;-)
So let's roll the clip, shall we?!
And then the pictures come along... and look something like this...
Click on the images for a better view!
And the Piece de Resistence!!
LMAO!
Hope you enjoyed this week's episode! Tune in for more!

Earth Hour 2008 - I DID IT!
Tonight was the night of Earth Hour 2008, an hour when you shut off your lights for global warning awareness. I was signed up for it for a long time before it even got any type of big media attention. It was something I was really interested in doing and very proud to see that a lot of my friends felt the same way.
So here are some vids that I took.
First one is when Earth Hour started out. My hour started before 8pm. This is when the lights all around started to go off. Enjoy my boring-ish randomness.
So that is that...
Then a few minutes later, I decided to go out on my balcony and take some footage there, too, since lighting was a little more easy to view. You could see the lights properly, and not so much the ones that were off... which was my idea. And once again... There is some major footage of me, being a dumbass, not knowing exactly what to say.
Relish in the humour of my awkward moments... Now....
I was COLD! Stupid wind. If it wasn't for the wind, I would have been alright.
So then for about 45 minutes more, I just lay in bed staring out the window and watching the satellites and planes pass by. Pretty interesting, actually. Then Earth Hour was finally over and it was time to put the lights back on kill the candles. So here is the "symbolic" ending I made to Earth Hour 2008. It was pretty!
Hope you did your part and participated in Earth Hour, too :-)

Goth Glam?
Hey folks!
This week I decided to try something new with my hair since I figured out the cut I want will take forever so might as well work with what I have, right?
So match the clothes to the hair, match the makeup to the clothes, and BAM! You got yourself a Goth Glam Shorty! And it feels fabulous! I feel like I'm really being myself for once.. It's a magnificent feeling! And if you ever feel like figuring out why, go on YouTube and check out The Momo Zone... it's a channel on the site run by a man nicknamed Momo who is based in Montreal Quebec right here in Canada. Awesome show and really friendly people. The clips just enhanced the things I've been thinking about an feeling lately, so I decided to go for it for once. Very glad I did. I don't regret any of what I've been doing and saying lately.
Basically... it says to be yourself, experiment, have fun, and let your cares melt away. Be optimistic. Or at least strive for feeling good in your own skin.
So anyways... The title "Goth Glam Chick" was given to me by my friend Dave. He took a look at the recent pics I have of myself and immediately that's what he started calling me. And he says "there's no NO... That's what it is and there's no denying it." So yeah... Guess I'm a Goth Glam Rock Chick Groupie in his exact words! LMAO!
So here is what it looks like:
And here is the steps I do.
First... I do a "peacock" effect with my hair... starting in the middle like so:
Yes... that is 8 inches of thick hair goodness. I love my hairpsray.
So then I peacock it out a little... Like so:
That is for Jay, lol. He wanted a peacock mohawk... he got it, lol. Sorta...
Anyways... then a few more sprays and an extra headband to push the ends down and later.... Tada!!! :
And here is the "Goth Glam" stuff.
I wore dark blue jeans and a black shirt with pearl buttons on it, so my eyeshadow was black, dark blue, and white graded upwards as so. I also had some lipgloss but not much.
The of course there's a small bit more of hairspray to go on. I have thick hair so I had to straighten everything before I styled it the way I wanted to.
Sides:
And there you have it!
Goth Glam at it's Easter Sunday best!
I could have gone more "all out" but I didn't feel like it. But it's on my TO DO LIST for the next time I head out with friends... So long as there isn't much wind! Lol!
The day went on pretty smoothly. It wasn't as fun as it could have been, but hey... It's Easter... Some people are very close to their families... I'm not, but that shouldn't make me force anyone else to stop. SO Happy Easter, everyone!
Next Sunday is supposed to be "interview day" so we'll see what happens at that point, lol.
Eat some chocolate for me!
This week I decided to try something new with my hair since I figured out the cut I want will take forever so might as well work with what I have, right?
So match the clothes to the hair, match the makeup to the clothes, and BAM! You got yourself a Goth Glam Shorty! And it feels fabulous! I feel like I'm really being myself for once.. It's a magnificent feeling! And if you ever feel like figuring out why, go on YouTube and check out The Momo Zone... it's a channel on the site run by a man nicknamed Momo who is based in Montreal Quebec right here in Canada. Awesome show and really friendly people. The clips just enhanced the things I've been thinking about an feeling lately, so I decided to go for it for once. Very glad I did. I don't regret any of what I've been doing and saying lately.
Basically... it says to be yourself, experiment, have fun, and let your cares melt away. Be optimistic. Or at least strive for feeling good in your own skin.
So anyways... The title "Goth Glam Chick" was given to me by my friend Dave. He took a look at the recent pics I have of myself and immediately that's what he started calling me. And he says "there's no NO... That's what it is and there's no denying it." So yeah... Guess I'm a Goth Glam Rock Chick Groupie in his exact words! LMAO!
So here is what it looks like:
And here is the steps I do.
First... I do a "peacock" effect with my hair... starting in the middle like so:
Yes... that is 8 inches of thick hair goodness. I love my hairpsray.
So then I peacock it out a little... Like so:
That is for Jay, lol. He wanted a peacock mohawk... he got it, lol. Sorta...
Anyways... then a few more sprays and an extra headband to push the ends down and later.... Tada!!! :
And here is the "Goth Glam" stuff.
I wore dark blue jeans and a black shirt with pearl buttons on it, so my eyeshadow was black, dark blue, and white graded upwards as so. I also had some lipgloss but not much.
The of course there's a small bit more of hairspray to go on. I have thick hair so I had to straighten everything before I styled it the way I wanted to.
Sides:
And there you have it!

Putting On My Hairstylist Hat
So today was the day that I put on my hairstylist cap all over again and I did my friend's hair. So big thanks to him to letting me post this to my friends only. Hope you guys like.
Before he came over to have his hair done, I spent the morning helping friends correct their relationship problems and find out what their dreams might be trying to tell them. I'm glad I've given them some closure. It's always a good feeling when you've made someone feel better.
So then I waited and waited and cleaned and prepped for the time when Mitch would arrive.
He came over to get a colour and cut. Going from a light-ish brown to a black/blue. It looks cool. It's wild but conservative. Looks good for him, so long as he shaves, lol! He also asked for a fauxhawk, so I gave him that, too.
Here is Mitch with his haircut done and waiting for a styling. The cut was done after the colouring. Just so it's known. Lol. I know how to do it.
So here is Mitch the Monkey:
And then after a few minutes of styling his hair... He finally gets to see what it actually looks like!
Cool blue, eh?
So yeah. The spike was a little off, but that can easily be corrected.
If you're ever in my area and in need of a cut or a colour, let me know. I will clear my schedule. I charge a lot less than salons ;-)
Today's post is short but sweet. Hope you liked!
Stay tuned for more.

Bowling, Licks, Dog Food and Ass Grabs
It's been a LONG time since I've updated. Let me explain what happened...
I had shot videos and stuff, that wasn't the problem. The problem was that I lost my SD card for transfering things to my computer for awhile and so I wasn't able to put the videos onto the net. Then some other shit happened... And before you knew it, I had nothing to film, plain and simple. Unless watching me Ace Guitar Hero on the Medium level is really all that special, lol. I highly doubt that one. So yeah... Nothing to film!
Now I'm back and ready to work!
So this is how today went down:
It started last night actually by being back at the house and hating it. I played Rock Band for a LONG time waiting to leave, and then my mother calls me up from downstairs and tells me "Sorry, we can't leave, the fog is up." $%#@!!!!!! I insisted on leaving that night, so my mother went for a nap and I stayed awake to make sure we left. Eventually we did... a little after 2 and we made it back by 3. I only got about 4 hours of sleep if even that much. I thought I was going to be such a bitch in the morning. I was... but not for too long. It was just linked to a situation by this other chick at bowling who thinks she owns the world and that anything she says is the law. Pfffft! We put that b!tch into place quick enough.
Got to Sunday bowling barely on time. We just made it and thank God we did. At least my team wasn't mad when I finally went down to bowl my first frame. Took me awhile because I was having troubles with my shoes. They wouldn't glide.
It was nice to see our favourite shoeboy back again. It's been awhile, lol. He actually forgot my shoe size! :-O Well... he knew, but he got confused between my shoe size and my brother's, lol.
And not only that, but he was so loopy today! :-) Yay! I missed the loopy shoeboy! He was happy and awake and everything. He looked much happier, healthier, and well rested. I missed that. It's been a long time. My hypothesis on why : He must have taken the night off from playing Rock Band with the boys! Bahahahaha! Really!
Oh, he and I are going to start a new foundation... Rock Band Anonymous. We'd be the only ones not so anonymous, but still :-P We thought of Guitar Hero, too, but we thought it kind of went together, so we'll let both of them in, lol.
Mel and I didn't do all that great on our bowling. It's all good, though. We picked it up near the end. It's just because of some stupid snob of a b!tch... But she was quickly put into place. Especially since I mentionned my rep for being physically violent to people who piss me off and she asked around only to find out there was more to the story than what I mentionned. So it scared her and she left us alone.
Birdie came in with dog food for her spoiled little brat, Shade, lol. More like it's Shoeboy's food (inside joke) but still ;-)
Lots of talking about ass grabs and such... And lots of trying, may I mention. Oh yeah... I was on the phone with people and my ass got slapped and grabbed at least 20 times within 5 minutes. By the same people, too.
Oh... and there was chats of fake "lesbian experiences" LOL! And my cheeks were getting attacked. Seriously... it's like everyone wanted to make out with my cheek, lol. I know I've been taking better care of my skin lately, but sheesh! It's not THAT irresistable, is it?! **is scared**
Then of course the dead time of standing there not knowing what to do or say, so I whipped out my phone and took video! Woo hoo! Finally I got to the video part, lol. I bet you're happy now ;-) So... here goes:
So I got my hugs and waited around for my mother to come and pick us all up to get back home and that was pretty much that.
And I finally saw that spoiled brat again!!! :-D What a little sweetheart she is! Cute as a button even though she's as heavy as me. the sweetest little husky ever!
Anyways... there's time left in the day, but nothing good happening, lol.
Let me know what you thought of my morning! lol!
ESPECIALLY the video! Let me know. We're the wild children of the Looney Bin!

February 4th... Idiot Time!
So today was a very odd day. I went back to school and I guess things were alright. I wasn't kicked back out again and no fights were caused (sort of), so everything is fine and dandy.
Paul and I did our usual thing of talking way too much way too loud about way too taboo kinds of things. T'was fun to say the least.
The Burnout was falling asleep in class so Paul and I tortured him a bit... by shouting in his ear and throwing erasers at him. Oh... and Paul got teased by Miss Ghetto Booty, lol. She's cool, though. Lots of fun... The Paul enjoys The Booty, lol!
Then I pulled out my phone and remembered that I could videotape things! So... here's the first thing we did... Paul tries to control your mind!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!:
And then... After our break from class in the afternoon... we were still being silly... And wanted to tease Joel. SO... Burnout speaks his words of wisdom to the young masses!!!! :
And then Shorty feels like being an idiot while waiting for her mother to finish work to get the heck home... SO....:
Yeah!!!! Guitar Hero for life, baby!!!
Anyways... here's a nice little tour of the very small school that Shorty attends... Narrated by yours truly!! :
And last but not least... the absolute closing speech....:
And now I must finish off my day with excessive amounts of online chatting and being bored out of my skull.
Cheers!
