Legend Has It...

Legend has it that my house use to have a little child ghost wandering around through it. I have been the only family member to not experience this...thank god.

If this happened to me I would be so freaked out...but because I know its fake, it's just absolutely hilarious.

Bette and those eyes

The hotness that is brandon flowers covering Bette Davis Eyes.

oh gosh It's Happening... real life.

My friends are so talented. In fact, they set the bar REALLY, REALLY high and I'll need to step up in order to catch up to them...but I don't mind because they motivate me to be the best of the best. I am so proud of ALL of them.

First off, we all made it through college which was inevitable for my group of friends.

One of my best friends is working at Google in San Francisco next year and graduated as valedictorian. Another is finishing her masters at Yale and will do magnificent things in this world. Another is shadowing and working for a producer in Los Angeles and doing pretty exciting "entourage" like things. Jealous, I know. Another just moved into her residence at Columbia to do her masters in Architecture. Another is jumping around the world from London to New York starting her Medical School adventure. My pretty little roommate is going to be the hottest accountant at Price Water House Coopers and all three of my guy roomies from uni are investment banking in Toronto. Not so shabby right?

So "Your friends shape who you are"? Well then I shouldn't come out too shabby myself, right?


I sure hope so.

Bullying my Dog

I use to have an American Bulldog. His name was Captain because he had a black patch of hair over one eye. Very creative, i know. He looked like "Chase" from the movie Homeward Bound. My parents bought him mainly as a guard dog... he was a REALLY good guard dog. So good in fact all my friends were scared to death of him and it was not until he died did we have a real break and enter (My present dog actually hid under the bed as the real robbery was going down). The only way to scare him was running towards him with a chair... yes that was his weakness... a pathetic chair. He also hated... HATED the batman theme song... don't ask... I have nooo idea why. He would howl in agony as a annoyingly hummed the theme song in his floppy ear. Oh, I miss him so.

Anyway, this silly video reminded me of him. There really are no words.

I love band of horses. i've been listening to this song on repeat all summer.

Red Velvet

I'm watching Cake Boss right now... I LOVE THIS SHOW. So many temptations. Anyway, they are making a red velvet cake. Have you ever had red velvet? Its the most delicious thing in the world! If you never have had red velvet, I highly recommend Sprinkles red velvet cupcakes. Every bite is seriously mind blowing and heavenly.

go
eat
it
now

or, if you are feeling up for it...you can always make it !









i'm drooling.

Decisions, Decisions

In late September I leave for an adventure of a lifetime. My dream of four years is finally coming true. Yes, drum roll please... I am going to SOUTH EAST ASIA. I wanted to go so bad in second year and had already missed the deadline for arranging an exchange with Western that I started arranging a study abroad for myself... why? because I'm like that and what Jules wants, Jules needs to at least attempt to get (yes, I just referred to myself in third person).

I called Chulalongkorn University in Thailand on my cellphone while in London, Ontario. You can imagine the conversation:
me: "Hello, do you speak English?"
Thailand: "...uhhh, yeees, how can help yew?"
me: "I would like to go on exchange at your university"
Thailand: "uuhh..."
me: "I woooouuld liiikke tooo go on exchaaange at your uniiversity"
Thailand: "ohh, payment? yew like to make pay to university?"
Me: "uuuuuugh." followed by a hanging up of the telephone.

well. I tried.

September I leave for Hong Kong and will be joined by my friend Selina who I met at Western in our lovely Seminar class on the Politics of Media Production or... whatever it was called. Sooo glad we met! We will fly to Thailand in October and join a group of adventurous travellers with the company "Beach Travellers". We are so stoked. Following a month of travel riding on elephants, hopping from paradise beach to beach and buying 2 dollar buckets of booze (so i hear), we will head on over to Laos. Here we will probably take part in the Gibbon experience where we zipline tree house to tree house and sleep for a couple days in the middle of the Rainforest (that's if we don't chicken out of course). Following, we will head to Cambodia, Vietnam, Singapore and end our travels in Indonesia (Bali, Java...the works). We head home mid December, just in time for cold weather, Santa Clause, Christmas Carols and, of course, Christmas presents.

I already know its going to be an adventure of a lifetime.

However, I'm still deciding what to do in Late January/ Early February. My friend Alia- who I also met at Western is down to come traveling. We hope to live either in Spain or South America for a good three months then travel and explore for a bit after- that's if we have not run out of money! - ohh and if you are thinking "what a spoiled brat, her parents are probably paying for it" YOU BETTER SHUT YOUR MOUTH, because i've been saving for two years now.

so where should I go? Spain or South America?

oohhh to be a baby in my twenties... DECISIONS, DECISIONS.

Thanks Boys

I just wanted to say...

Thank you shirtless, toned, ab-wondrous boys that run all handsomely around the seawall. I don't think you understand how much it makes my day when I see you jogging by me... my heart smiles just a little. Sooo, keep doing what you're doing because whatever you're doing is working... and one day one of us ladies will muster enough courage to chase you down.
