number thirty-one

god, today was beautiful. i was woken up early to go to the doctor, so i was up with the frost and fog. i love my neighborhood. i woke up and stumbled around my house, too lazy to even take a shower, and saw what it looked like outside, so i grabbed my camera and started taking pictures of everything. it was so nice, i think the sun was even peeking out of the clouds for a bit in the morning. it was suprisingly not raining, but i tihnk it is now. one day of no rain. whew. once i'd set out on my way i was still snapping pictures of things, i'm sure i must have gotten some weird looks. especially while taking pictures of .. pine needles.. at the bus stop.. shh! and then i went to the doctors with ian, then to wood-grove (fuck i hate woodgrove this time of year.), then home again, saw bunnies, and went home and danced by the fire and drank delicious hot chocolate. mmmm. later i would go to the pub with mum, jen, and jon, only to stuff myself with the best burger ever (besides mrs. riches, obv.), onion rings, fries, rum and eggnog. mm soni. mm. mum later bought me a crunchie bar.. which, the second i wrote that, i realized i have NOT EATED!! ooooh. (ok, stupid bunny picture is NOT showing up. i will post it in a different post. hmph. *mumbles about how bunnies are stupid and not cute at all*)

and, g'night.

so much god damned rain.. i'm sick of it. today it was raining harder than ever and i went outside to try to take a picture of it and that's the best i could come up with.. fuckin' rain. and then all of a sudden it slows up and the sun starts to come out. barely. and then it started raining again, but fuck! i want the damn sun to come back. i miss it so fuckin' muchhh. damn damn damn. *sigh* okay, swearing is up on a higher key, i'm in a bad mood, people are stupid and i've had to hang around my sisters' place, and it was a hellhole, i get ignored and get to watch everyone yell at everyone else and be an asshole to me. yep. my idea of a great time. gah, and darren matt is being a jerk. ohh well.

and this beautiful thing is westwood lake. never thought such a dump would ever look so pretty, but i captured it, like the fotographical genius i am. hoorah.
off to be a pms-y bitch to more people. god i hate being a girl.

so i was in the dam the other day, right, and i had my camera, ehhh? and i took some pictures, ya know, ya knoww? ugh i don't feel like typing a huge story, plus i wanna have a bath and bean dip is cooking/ enticing me, so here are the pictures and that is that.

the malaspina parking lot, out into the sunset. who woulda thought it could look pretty?

number twenty-eight

so it snowed alot, rained alot and melted the snow, and today it snowed an inch or two before going back to rain and leaving the world in a huge puddle. i'm not looking forward to this huge storm we're supposed to be getting this weekend. worst ever, my mum says. ugh! so anyways, maybe some winter pictures? yes. yes soni, some winter pictures please!
here on the left is a staircase in the dam, have never figured out why it's there, but there it is, it leads down to a rock which one may very easily fall off of and into the icy water. hm.. how practical. *scoffs* and mum made me go walking in the knee deep snow for so so sooo long with her and jen and i was bitching the whole time. i am a cheerful one, yes, yes i am.
and this lovely thing to the right is from the day before, when it had just started snowing, and mum, jen, and i went to qualicum to visit a craft fair or two (shut up. yea, i knowww), and it started lightly snowing. then we walked to englishman and the snow came down more and more viciously, and here, a bridge over the falls, it looked beautiful. the falls themselves were torrential. terrifying, really, especially since when i walked out onto the bridge i was slipping and skidding all over the place. and then, one more, a picture of beautiful jennyface, trying to eat up all the snowflakes as they cascade upon her face. <3>

number twenty-seven

hooray! be happy, people, snoi toons are officially back in business! this particular one is depicting me (well obviously), after i decide to finally get my ass into gear and start jogging. it's the third in a series. i tell you, i have a hard time with just.. jogging.
i am so out of shaaaape!

and then there are the pictures i took while jogging. yes, i took my camera. yes, i know that is ridiculous! how do i run with a camera on hand?! i don't know! the pictures, i believe, are in the previous entry. but it is so sad and rainy and all lately, that i want a change: i am going to post sunny and happy pictures. so here goes.

this particular one is from when i went to italy last year. it is on the amalfi coast, which is just along the west coast of italy. mum and i took a bus ride along it, and it is supposedly the scariest bus ride in the world, the roads are one lane, and the cliffs are hundreds of feet high, maybe higher. i chose a window seat and it was amazing.


this picture is from the chinese gardens in the middle of vancouver. the structures are supposedly made of actualy chinese ones, shipped in and made by chinese all-knowers. err, my english sucks today.. shut up.gah there are so many pictures i could put up! so pretty. but i will just leave you with this beautiful gem: pipers lagoon at sunset. nicole and i went there one day and took some beautiful pictures on the rocks and in the water and all around. it was quite fun.

soni spitting water across the way. i captured it in the nick of time, and it took a few tries.. and a few near-soakings of the camera! but in the end it was all good. it turned out nicely.


and soni, looking pretty as a picture, peeking up at me! i did her makeup to be all savage, although you can't tell here. but it did look nice. more pictures here: flickr

yesterday i was so wanting to take pictures, after i was sick all day, but the weather these days is so gloomy, and false lighting is so bad, so it's hard to take good pictures in the winter months of the year, but i've been trying new things. i grabbed some chili peppers and my lamp and tried to take pictures of the chili's, but then i realized after i had played around and took pictures of the earrings hanging from the lampshade that they were actually pretty dang cool! the chili pictures were alright, nothin' special. but i have grown to love the 'flower' setting on my camera, it makes it so that you can take excellent pictures of whatever very close up. unfortunately, i still can't take pictures of things far away, but i'll settle for super close.

today i went for a walk/ pathetic jog in the dam and took my camera and mp3 player full of scissor sisters, and took a few nice pictures. like the following one:

turned out alright, i suppose, woulda been better if it hadn'ta started pouring out! *shakes fist* i tihnk i have to go back when it's sunny, because there were quite a few really neat twisy gnarly trees right there.

a bottle of fiji water that i found nestled on the side of the road that someone *cough* duff! *cough* threw there. but i took it home and put it in the recycling.

number twenty-four

ohh, magnetart. i love thee. my magnet art goes crazy on my fridge, but i love my sisters, i always try to make pretty little feel-good kind of things on her metal door. like this one. i believe in compassion. so.. here's to it! not only that, but i also believe in the innocence of the world. i think that desensitizing ourselves to everything might not be such a good idea. i think we should open our eyes, realize what we're doing to ourselves. doesn't anybody realize that our lifestyles just spell out d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r? we're prepping ourselves for the end. maybe if we got back in touch with nature, stopped living in mechanization, stopped destroying.. ugh. i can't go on. i'm a hypocrite, here, but i'm just saying. life is to be lived, not destroyed. now open your eyes and develop your own god-damn mind. live like you mean it!

i have my dad's eyes. they go green when i cry.

number twenty-three

what a bleary day. so depressing, all this raaaain. i need some sun and a huge hug! ..er.. anyways. we need some pictures from sunny days, and happy times, to make us all feel a little better. this one, i love, it's so weird, i took it at my sisters house, it's a windchime, made of bamboo. (shit, for a second there i forgot the word bamboo.. haah.) i remember this day.. it was sunny, children (which i normally hate, but in this case it was nice.) were running around and having fun.. just the type of day that is nice to remember. anddd this is the beloved lipton green tea, my savior, i'm pretty sure that if it wasn't inanimate, i'd marry it. it makes the hot summer days bearable and my throat stops rasping and i sound normal again. ..go damn do i want it to be sunny! grr!!

my sister, ever artistic and bored, made a bunch of windchimes out or mutilated silverware. we'd take hammers to the spoons and knives, and twist up the forks and knives with pliers untill they barely resembled the silverware one might see on their kitchen table at all. i loved them. it looks like a possessed fork!
anyways, rip hot and sunny days, untill next year, anyways.

so, i discovered this (still unfinished) masterpiece of doddles and scribblings with the 100+ gel pens i got for my birthday, all center'd around "duff is dumb." hey, i thought it was pretty! (and yes, i know it looks stupid, but me a scanner or shut up.)

and on a completely different note, it was frosty out this morning. i only noticed because i had to get up at 7:30 to go to the torture chamb-.. i mean massage therapist. i thought it was beautiful outside so i grabbed my camera and went out in my monkey slippers and took pictures. later i would discover that the light in the morning's not so good, but one picture did turn out.
i think it's neat, maggy's footprints in the frost with the semi-crystalized leaf.. shut up, i like it.

Sometimes she walks through the village in her
little red dress
all absorbed in restraining herself,
and yet, despite herself, she seems to move
according to the rhythm of her life to come.

She runs a bit, hesitates, stops,
half-turns around...
and, all while dreaming, shakes her head
for or against.

Then she dances a few steps
that she invents and forgets,
no doubt finding out that life
moves on too fast.

there's nothing like taking a picture and finding it turned out perfect. perfect in the sense that even if it's not exactly what you had in mind, it still suits what you wanted and works dispite it's flaws. like this little number here, i know, my nose looks big, and i don't like how you can see the floor/ my feet, but at the same time, it's perfect. just the kind of picture for the mood i was in when i took it.

i changed the orignal for my brand spankin' new webpage, this is the edited version (duh), desaturated, rounded corners, texted, yeppp.

i'm happy with it. my website is going to be very.. pretty. i also added this little cheerful gem to it. soni, smoking a cigar at woodgrove and snarling at the camera. i figured it captured soni's personality beautifully. or not, it just made her look like a snarling beast, but hey! she looks like that sometimes! miko was trying to take a picture of her smoking, and i just snapped this one away and she is glaring because the sun was in her eyes. i just like the way it turned out.

ta!

proof i am amazing. here is a character i named loki, after the trickster god. you know the one. the tattoos on him were inspired by king arthur, the movie. i love the woads, so much, and i want to be them! ..*cough*



now ain't he cuuute?

number seventeen

so long ago was last post my. know not why talk like yoda i do. (ugh. okay, i'll stop.) today was a good day, i watched braveheart, king arthur, and sleepy hollow! it was fun. i also distributed resumés, silly nobody wanting to hire me.
*cough*
anyways, here is a picture to show just how my little town is reacting to the season change: fog. and i love it. i love fog, and harewood is so full of it, especially coming down the hill, and the field of the school is full of fog like an ocean.

i want it to snow so badly. i miss these days. the days of freezing water in the most beautiful place anywhere around here. wading through thigh-deep snow, a cold one in hand, and laughing with two of my favorite people in the entire world. we saw that the dam had frozen over, so they suggested i walk over and test the ice. i stepped down the first stair, and the snow on the stairs packed down to become an icy ramp down to the ice and i shot off onto the ice. we were scared for a minute, untill we realized i hadn't died, i just slid onto the ice. we walked over to the dock and layed there watching the stars.

what good times, i miss those two boys. (darcy and erik, if you ever read this, and i know you probably won't, i miss you guys..)

so much k-os lately. (stupid no flypaper lyrics being on the damned internet!)

i walk between a rock and a hard place, so i walk through the city with a hard face, seems i'm afraid of being afraid.

so i walk this yellow road..

the life of a schizo kitty. how appealing. her eyes are so greencrazy. there's nothing over there, where she's looking, she's just mad. mad, mad, maaaaaaaaaad.

this is the water wheel in chemainus, the teeny tiny town thats about 30 minutes out of my city. the town is famous for its murals. yeah.. it's murals. i didn't take pictures of murals, i took pictures of it's little quaint whatevers. like this waterwheel. like the theatre, like fountains and whatnot. it's a very .. er.. rustic town. there was actually an old man playing a banjo on a corner there! wow.

this here is the chemainus theatre, or at least, the archway that leads over to it. the actual theatre was under construction, unfortunately, but it's a really awesome theatre. there's a gigantic dome on the top. oh well, maybe when it's finished i'll go there and take pictures.


i really really really feel like watching rent right now. why don't i own itttttt? bah.

number fifteen

the art here is my makeup art. you can't see it too well, because yeh, my camera sucks, but here it is anyways. it's inspired by tia dalma, the black mystic from pirates of the caribbean ii. i loved her, she was so sweet. anyways.. yeah.

number fourteen

soooo, i went on another picture taking spree, after i bleached my hair after dying it pink, now it's kind of lemonade kinda sorta like.. this picture is just me hiding in some flowers, but i think it's cute. i don't care that you can't see my new hair. and in case you care, i'm listening to queen and it's fuckin' awesome. the show must go onnnn!
and then this other picture, over here, is me being all biznis, before i was about to go out job hunting. by the way, the heat is way too fucking bad. the hiinde is outrageously HOT. i hate it. damn you, hiinde!!! anyways. the suit picture is my old and deliciously bright hair. i love eet.

i want to break free!
i want to break free!

so after much deliberation i finally developed my pictures from italy , this being one of them. unfortunately, me being the lameass i am, i don't even remember where it was that i took the picture. yeahhhh, i'm awesome! this one, however, i do remember. it was taken in montepulciano, and i remember thinking it was just so pretty when i took it.


i miss you italy!!

number twelve

maybe it's unoriginal, maybe it's not art, but shut up, i like it. just some pictures i put together for nexopia, and decided were actually pretty sweet.
this first one is just me. audrey took that first picture, i am talking on the phone, i think to beni. hence the cute smile. the one on the right was taken by him, the cutie, and i am just basking like a lizard.
ahh, both by me, the one on the left is just me showing off the tristram face tattoos, and the other one is me being all cute/ shy/ whatever. i don't know why i like it, but i dooo !
and this lovely thing is me and val suntanning and being all tangled up in ourselves and giggling. i'm pretty sure i took both of these. hoorayy!
i love you summertime!

number eleven
