I’m going to see Dead Man’s Bones on Tuesday. That means I’ll be seeing Ryan Gosling in the flesh. Even though the album is pretty awesome it is such a HUGE bonus that he is in this band.

About a week ago now, as I was walking home from work with my boyfriend I noticed this guy walking down the street. I looked at him and thought “gee, that guy looks like Jack White”. As he came closer and we crossed the road a bit more and this man was directly in my viewpoint, I grasped my boyfriends arm and tried to quietly yell “OMG THAT’S JACK WHITE”. He heard...

summer loving.
This summer has been pretty amazing. This weekend was full of amazing shows. Went to Osheaga on Sunday and saw Rufus Wainwright, Decemberists, The Ting Tings and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Rufus was amazing as always. His mother joined him on stage and sang a few songs with him which was great. I forget how amazing this guy really is.
Decemberists were really disappointing. I had high hopes for them...

on the road again...
So it’s been done. I’m moving back home. Sad. I can’t afford to live here any longer and I’m not getting anywhere by living here. So it’s onto the next chapter of my life. It’s been fun though.
I am going to New York City tonight for four days. I’m pretty excited for that though.
I don’t have much to say anymore.

I <3 summer.
My day has consist of eating breakfast out on the balcony, getting an iced drink, going to the park. Reading my awesome book by the fountain (and randomly getting sprinkled by it because of the breeze), walking around, watching tourists and it’s only 12:30pm. Now I’m going to play guitar for a bit, read out on my balcony then go get a sub for dinner and have it in the...
I’m broke. Semi-Unemployed. Semi-Depressed. Losing hope. Wondering why I’m still here.
I have a job but work is slow and I haven’t gotten much work in about 5 weeks now. I’m looking on craigs list for stuff every day but there honestly is nothing out there right now. I think the recession has gotten me too. I’ve worked about 40 hours in the past five weeks. This is...

i got fucking FIRED.
So for the past two months I’ve been packing for my employers move. They went travelling while I packed. Before that I was cleaning their house. So anyways, I spent my time packing up all their crap, which wasn’t a small task. Especially since it wasn’t my stuff and since they never once communicated with me during the two months. I emailed them, wrote notes, asked questions and...
I’m 24 years old and I have posture like a 90 yr old woman. I have a fucked up neck, back and now spine. For the past two days I haven’t been able to full look down without wincing in pain. Every so often I can’t turn my head. Sure it’s probably just my shitty bed and pillows but even so, my posture sucks and could also be a reason. Last night it hurt so bad I thought I had...
I need to stop letting instances from the past effect my future. I can’t always feel like people are out to hurt me. If I keep thinking this I might miss out on a lot of relationships and friendships. I gotta think positive.
I also have to stop feeling so friggen insecure.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
I’m feeling a little out of touch with life and reality lately. I feel like sticking to myself and shielding myself from the outside world. I feel like if I pull back it will save me a lot of trouble. I’ve always used a shield in life and I’m not sure why I’ve stopped. It’s a hard week for me and this rain and gloom is not helping my mood. I’m just feeling...
My mom would have been 50 years old today. My dad went to her grave and put two roses down, one for me and one for him. When he told me this I got really choked up. I’ve been trying not to think about what day it is all day and I’ve been doing a pretty good job until now. Now I’m feeling rather lousy. I’m also dealing with other emotions that come with being a human....
FLEET FOXES. MONTREAL. AUGUST 3RD. THANK YOU LORD, THANK YOU.
I’ve been waiting close to a year and a half to see this band and I am going to buy my tickets as soon as possible because I am not missing them again.
I’m listening to Hanson again, whatever, I don’t care.
Don’t go see Earth if you’ve seen Planet Earth because it’s the SAME THING. Same footage, same everything. As cool it was to see it on the big screen I don’t think I would have paid 13.00 to see it again. I own both series and recently have watched it and someone or some review could have pointed out that it’s the same thing except for it’s shortened from almost...

life is hard.
Bob Dylan is right.
Picked up his latest album yesterday. I’ve only listened to it once and so far so good. Maybe not his best album but it’s got a cool feel to it. It’s a lazy summer day album.
So I’m once again home sick. I just miss the country. As much as I’m a city girl, I’m also a country girl. I miss wearing flowing dresses, sitting by the river and...
I bought a new digital camera on a whim today. Not cool, mostly because I’m barely working this month. I did buy it with some of my tax money but why do I feel guilty? I shouldn’t spend so much money. I gotta keep telling myself you only live once. I’ve been using a very out dated digital camera for far too long now. I love taking pictures and I think I deserve a nice camera....
Good thing about warm weather/summer is that you can sit out on your balcony at 1:00pm on a Saturday and drink and get away with it. I don’t think I could ever sit in my living room on a cold December day and drink, just wouldn’t work.
So I’m going to sit out on my balcony with some peeps, drink some drinks and then go to the park and play some frisbee. Can every day be like...
Friday night. Sunny. Warm. Patio weather. Yet I’m in my apartment bored and alone.
For some reason, I think that if I book off Friday nights from work I’ll go out and have a good time. Since I’ve been booking off Friday nights I’ve never gone out. This needs to change. Especially seeing as I have tomorrow off. Least I had a good sub for dinner. I really wish I could be...
you've really got a hold on me.
I’m getting tired of drinking to have a socially good time. I’m getting tired of it because it’s expensive (especially for me because I don’t drink beer), it gives me a hangover, it makes me overly thirsty the next day and I hate that. It’s just getting really gross. I need to do something that isn’t overly expensive and doesn’t leave me feeling like crap...
I wish Ryan Adams was the way he was back in the good old days (minus the drugs). He seems overly lame now & somewhat of a douche. Sucks.
mr. jones.
So I’m going back “home” on Saturday. I still don’t know if it’s my home. I don’t live there anymore and when I go back it always feels a little strange. On the other hand I feel weird if I say it’s not my home. When people get married and have kids and have been out of their parents home for quite awhile, they don’t say “i’m going back...
Global Economic shut the hell up.
youstoodout:
For the love of god, don’t complain about your job given the current state of the economy. Not only do I hate people who complain like complaining is a CHRONIC ILLNESS, but you don’t realize just how fucking stupid you sound.
If you have a job, hold on to it as long as you can. I don’t care how shitty it is. How would you feel if tomorrow you walked in to work only to be called in...
I burnt my hand today on the stove. I thought it wouldn’t be hot after having it on 5 for about 5 minutes. I wanted to fix the burner plate because it was loose. I burnt my fingers. I felt like an idiot. Who doesn’t think the stove wont be hot after it’s been on for about 5 minutes? Me.
Rick James is the man.
prettiest song of the moment.
We might kiss when we are alone When nobody’s watching We might take it home We might make out when nobody’s there It’s not that we’re scared It’s just that it’s delicate So why’d you fill my sorrows With the words you’ve borrowed From the only place you’ve known And why’d ya sing Hallelujah If it means nothing to you Why’d you sing...
st. hubert, i need you.
I’m craving the weirdest foods lately. Like really strong intense cravings. Last night I was craving roast beef, potatoes and yorkshire pudding, wtf. Weirdest craving ever. Then today I really wanted St. Hubert chicken. Like the chicken sandwich with gravy and peas on top. OH MAN. I neeeeeed it. I’m so hungry and this is the only thing I want right now. If it wasn’t raining out...
My hair turned out PERFECT. It looks so amazing. During the cut though I felt extreme panic because half way through it looked HORRIBLE. Then he finished and it was amazing. It’s so rewarding to have a great haircut, I feel like a whole new person. I did spend way more than I wanted but it was worth it. Though I am curious to see what it looks like when I style it and not a professional hair...
I Luv Saturdays.
Saturday’s are the best day of the week, by far. When I work on a Saturday it’s not so great but when I’m off, it’s the best.
This morning I woke up early and thought “ugh, I gotta get up soon for work” then it clicked, I DONT WORK TODAY. That’s such a wicked feeling. So I went back to bed and was woken the phone. It was my hair salon and they were...
Why do I get myself in this kinds of situations? I need to just STOP. Why do I have an over active mind? I need to stop thinking about every little thing. It’s frustrating.
“It’s not that we’re scared
It’s just that it’s...”
I would hate to be rich. Like yuppie, driving in my SUV, talking on my cell phone yuppie rich. I took a long and tiring walk through the rich part of the city today after work. Though the houses were amazing and huge, I just know the typical family that lives in that area and it’s gross. I don’t relate to it at all. I work for a rich family and they literally have everything done for...
I need to get out of here for awhile.
