so the whole not sleeping thing? yeah.... didn't...
so i took a lot of photos today and I’m really excited to see how they turned out. am borrowing my dad’s laptop right now as I wait for R. to return, go over the ceremony details with Ads & Riss, then we can head home. (btw, they asked R. if he would be the person to marry them!!! which is very awesome).
I’m so tired right now. Just beat. I could easily fall asleep, but know...

hockey night in Canada
I’m not sure why, or how it happened exactly, but I just watched about 45 minutes of Hockey Night in Canada with my dad. It’s not a first… but it certainly doesn’t happen very frequently. And it kind of brought out the Leaf pride in me. (saying that, I really don’t know much abuot hockey, or really care, but probably would be disowned if I ever showed loyalty to...

party time
well, technically not for another few hours. but i got to get up and get on the road. i’m excited! and I’m going to take a gajillion pictures. I’m also exhausted. maybe I’ll take a nap at my parent’s house later while I wait.
my mom is so cute… she’s arranged everything for this bridal shower, and it has a theme (hee hee). It’s called “These...

i’d love to own a fromagerie someday
really? that’s awesome. what inspires this?
success is mine!
bought a pair of shoes today before work. will try them on with the dress soon, way to tired right now. but I think they’ll be great. and I couldn’t have done it without Cat. she totally calmed me down in my fashion moment freakout yesterday. heheh. She is a real gem- but then those of you who follow her, already know that.

thx friend! Jacksonville City Nights is probably my fave album.. right after Cold Roses. But don’t quote me on that because my fave always slightly changes.
today i am me and no one else.
it’s been decided.
wahooooo time for shopping!!!
I looove trying on clothes. Even if I don’t/can’t buy them. I dunno what it is, but it’s a beloved past-time. Does that make me incredible materialistic sounding? It probably does- which is funny, cause I don’t really care about “stuff”- not for the most part. If i had to part with my belongings, it’d be tough to decide, but I know i’d get over it...
i feel overly mushy gushy today
i realized this after I sent my third “I love you - you are awesome!” type message on Facebook. I hereby dub it Super Sentimental Friday! (shoot, should be Sat. or Sun. cause then i’d have even better alliteration. and you know it’s all about that.)
at the car rental place i saw a guy with the...
no really, he was balding on top, but had glorious golden curls flowing down the back just past the shoulders. oh and he was wearing a hunting jacket. yeah, it was brilliant, in a totally “I can’t believe you still wear your hair like that and I’m kinda disgusted, yet fascinated” way.
oh, and i can't let myself forget that i actually...
not used to a Friday close shift. my brain has been so preoccupied with school and shoes that I keep forgetting that I can’t spend my evening shopping.
i have a feeling this is going to be an interesting day.. trying to manage my time and not only get school done, but have some fun in the middle of it all.
7:21am
but it feels like 4. it’s so dark outside. gross. have to drive R. to the car rental place. He’s going snowboarding today at Blue with some of the youth, so needs a big ass van to drive them.
.dont. want to leave the bed. so comfy and cozy under blankets. … they’ll be cold again by the time i get back. so sad.
k folks, i'm outtie.
watching this week’s LOST with R. good times all around.

My radio show is in an hour!
I’ve decided to do a 100% Canadian show tonight. Well, my show generally is something like 68% Canadian, but why stop there? 100%, baby.
Suggestions for Canadian songs! Since I am doing this an hour in advance, I can download them!
Feel free to e-mail me the songs, as well (malariahysteria@hotmail.com)

heheh stupid January. i think we should propose that it get entirely removed from the Canadian calendar. or. that there is mandatory migration, where all citizens must move south for the winter. hey, if the geese need to do it, so do we.
next year i am getting cryogenically frozen right after the holidays until March. they can thaw...
so i got a new cell phone
and I totally have no idea how to use it. when it comes to phone technology, i’m like an 80 year old woman. seriously. but i’m going to try and figure it out. i’m even reading the manual so i can feel all knowledgeable and stuff. and even though I don’t really plan on using it- it’s for emergencies really. I refuse to remain clueless.
and you know what else helps?
planning a coffee date with the bff for Sunday. yup, it’s so on. and this time it’ll actually happen and she won’t forget and it’ll be loverly.
(sorry to those who have just joined me mid-freak...
I totally just scarfed down a chocolate croissant (Second Cup represent!). chocolatr solves everything. plus also phone dates with the bff…

what's wrong with me?
i’ve never had a fashion crisis like this… i’ve been fairly confident in my choices up until this point. not that i’m cutting edge or a total outside the box thinker, I’ve just always been confident and comfortable with my clothing picks. I’ve always known what I like. But trying to find these stupid shoes for my sister’s wedding… it’s like I...

sooo Slumdog Millionaire
i really liked it. I wanted to cry during the first half of the movie tho over the poverty experienced… that is a picture of some people’s every day life, right there. living in the middle of a garbage dump. no shoes. my heart just wanted to weep for those children. … but yes really like the film. would like to watch it again… (I do enjoy those danny boyle films!)
