End of August

Popcorn 

Chick flicks 

Sleep 

All I want today 

No cake

Just wine and a bath for me 

A little wine

My back hurts

My feet are sore 

My brain is so tired. 

I just wanna get home 

But I still have dinner to make 

:( 

I'm so hungry. 

But if I take a step back 

 As happy as can be :) 

... I should have visited Morey for some wine. 

Commute

Listening to stories being told by an eccentric bus man 

Chatting it up with other commuters. 

Sitting in the back of the bus. 

He has perhaps just recently been let out of jail. He seems to be very impressed with freedom. 

He now wants to do accents. Now Indian. Now Italian (he's Italian) 

He may be missing his right eye. 

I swear I'm not making this up. 

They are now discussing cannoli. He bought a great food processor from Costco last week. 

Oh no he does have him right eye. 

Broccoli is the best thing you can do for your whole entire life. Superfoods I'm all up on that shit. 

He was about to get philosophical but got distracted by talking about smoothies. 

Now he's leaving. 

Well that was entertaining. 

Hp!!!!

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket! 

I must confess in cried reading philosopher (I refuse to call it sorcerer), chamber (Matilda just had to help me with that one: to answer your question my brain is tired!) and prisoner. 

Yes I cried at the happy proud moments. 

But I didn't cry at the end of goblet... I was on the bus so I couldn't really. 

Or I'm cold hearted 

Or I got Cedric and Edward mistaken in my mind, boo mr pattison - you were way more attractive in HP 

Oliver wood and I would make a nice couple

Anyways... 

My brain is mush :) but I'm happier than a clam 

Loving life 

Can't wait to sleep 

I'm living a dream. 

Love miss Matilda!! Shout out to you and your green striped socks. 

Walking

And typing this blog!!!! 

Update

Matilda makes a mean chicken 

My hair can get into a single braid 

I'm sitting in Anne's chair 

If I had to name something a female name today I would choose Lila

I should practice viola tonight

There is creamcicle and chocolate ice cream in my freezer. I just had a spoonful and sang about it 

I had six hours of rehearsal today 

I have four hours tomorrow

I dropped my math coarse 

I'm heading to yin 

I'm wearing fun Tai pants 

That is all 

Can not sleep

Too many good ideas flowing through my brain. 

Must remember 

Boxes 

Chance 

Choice 

Segmented. 

Record 

HP update

About to head into the graveyard. Not going to lie I'm a little scared. 

Bus

Riding on the bus. Heading to do some homework. 

Going to intersections around Vancouver. And journaling. 

:) 

I love life. 

Gratitude

I am incredibly grateful (it should be greatful, silly English language) for the amazing friends I have in my life. 

A new friend of mine, Bailey is so wonderful and thoughtful. 

:) 

August 22

This is a shout out to Thursday August 22 2013 

Yes, I forgot to blog :( but you were one amazing day!!! 

Applause 

Yin, HP and hazelnut

:D Saturday. 

I had a nice sleep in, some funny entertaining dreams, went to a yin class ( legs fell asleep in every pose) now I'm at a quaint little coffee shop drinking a yummy drink and reading HP. I love. 

Smell

You would think most male scents, aftershave and the like would be pre approved by all noses... 

Not the case evidently. 

Hmmm

I don't know how I feel about my hummus with olives... 

Update

My bus pass was in the butt pocket! 

And all was well. 

Day two of apprenticeship = awesome! 

Exhaustion level = sleepy time. 

The bus pass dilemma

Who knew there were two m's in dilemma - plumeria scrum bum that's who (plumeria scrum bum is the name of my phone) 

So I'm getting my bus pass all ready, well before the bus arrives, and I notice it is not where in should be, in my nemo wallet. Surprisingly I do not go into a panic. I calmly think of where it might be. And the memory hits me, I put it in my back pocket yesterday. I feel it found a home there, may have even stayed the night. 

Now the dilemma, do I return to the homestead to search for it.

Answer, nope. 

Solved! 

Fun fact

With squirrel: Pregnant — Vance Randolph’s “Down in the Holler: A Gallery of Ozark Folk Speech”, 1953

A fun word English has forgotten.

:D 

Living a dream

Today was the first day if my apprenticeship. 

I was working (read: dancing) in the studio from 12:30 till 4:30 today. But I got their early to warm up, and left late to cool down. 

I loved it! 

The first hour was learning two pieces of choreography. I was about to call them combinations, but they are south lite than that. They are a string of movements with so much possibility. Waiting to be manipulated and transformed. 

The next two hours were spent playing with some of the choreography. Spacing it and sequencing it to work with twelve people, four groups of three. 

The last hour was working with a duo shadowing one of the parts. 

My body is sore and tired. But my soul is over joyed. 

Can't wait for tomorrow! 

Lifesaver

I love my roommate. 

Icing

I ate copious amount of icing today, so much so I experience a bit of an icing coma. No I was not running around bouncing off walls. I experienced the opposite. The deep desire to sleep. So weird! Too much cake. Well really, too much icing. 

I take this moment to declare to the universe that for my own benefit I will hold off on my cake eating for awhile. 

! Can't wait for tomorrow. 

I just received a mysterious text. "Sounds nice" was the message. I must go investigate!! 

Ferry vs Fairy predicament

I'm about to board a ferry to travel to Vancouver island, I wish it was a fairy. 

Brain soreness

Had a great first collaboration session with Clive this afternoon, we talked for two and a half hours! But alas now my brain is simply thought out. 

We discovered archery is a difficult word to conjugate. I guess you had to be there. 

I've started sharing this blog. So far Matilda, Anne, Albert and Beard know about it. I'm toying with the idea of sharing it with more, buy for the time I like knowing who knows about it. 

Tomorrow I am heading over to the island for family time, it's my nieces first birthday. I shall eat cake! 

The day after I start apprenticing! 

Can't wait to dive in, I still need to find a journal. 

Friday field Trip day

I have only ever been to one Zoo, the Saskatoon zoo. At the time it did not have as many different species as it does now, I remember there was a black bear! 

I don;t know how I feel about Zoos, I hope the animals are happy. But I feel that we should try to preserve more of their natural habitats vs ship them off to zoos because we want to cut down their forests and build big box malls. 

On Monday I start dancing for a contemporary dance company as an apprentice. I am incredibly excited and a little nervous. 

Living a true adult dream. :D 

Checking Shape

This is for you Matilda ;)

The definition of Checking Shape (as was explained to me, when I was in grade 8 by my older sisters friend Eve)

Its pretty much a code word for checking people out, good shape = handsome / bad shape = not so handsome.
Simple - yes!

I like shapes, specially when they have kind eyes - that's my favourite.

Narnia!

Yes there is a mysterious locked door leading to know where in my room. Well it leads to Narnia, obviously.

Maybe I'll make some soup tonight. 

I don't think I have that kind of energy. 

Maybe I should have a nap. 

Tomorrow is the last day of the camp! Performance time! I hope the dances are received well. And that the children have fun. 

If I were to become a talking animal I think I would like to be a lemur, hummingbird, penguin or unicorn. (Matilda is watching the third installment of the Narnia series.) 

Bestest Dwelling Companion

"Chances are, my roommate is better than yours" was Matilda's FBi status today. My heart glowed. I love her. She is awesome and a powerful dragon!!! 

It rained a bit today and I resisted talking to the Safeway checkout man about it! 

It was day three of the dance camp I'm teaching for today... 

I could go into detail about it but I won't. All ill say is this, I prefer being a bumblebee. 

Blog power! 

Side tracked. (Spoiler alert)

So in the last post I gave myself detailed steps that I was going to take to compose the rest if my evening. In writing it all out, I got lazy after step three and clumped all the rest into the last step. With the intention of reading and going to bed early.

Well I did the first three steps flawlessly... 

Then... Dun dun duh... 

I got side tracked!!!! 

The Internet took me. I was a goner 

¡¡ i must interrupt this blog post to complain about to car alarm going off on my street! Super loud and annoying. 

Anyways it's 11:12 and I'm just in bed now! Time to read a quick chapter! 

The alarm stopped!!!!!! 

The pants problem

I have absolutely no desire to put on pants and go to Safeway. 

I do however have a desire to have food for tomorrow. 

The choices are 1) crawl into bed at 8:30, stay pants less and read Goblet for about an hour and fall asleep at 9:30 a respectable hour for a 24 year old Spinster. 

Or

2 i could put on some pants, or appropriate for being in public leg covering hop down to Safeway ( I could literally hop, tis an option - if I lived in a world according to me, my choice of locomotion would be prancing. Regardless, Wait where was I going with that sentence before I opened that bracket, I'm going to go read.... Ah yes) and pick up a few groceries for the next few days. 

Now is this Safeway run really just an excuse to see if they have cake on sale?... 

Yes! 

For it is really more efficient for me to go to Safeway after work tomorrow, there is one right in the same complex, and who am I kidding I'm not going to have the effort to make something good for lunch tomorrow when I get home from hippiness ( I meant hoping but my first two tries auto corrected to hippos then hippies hehe) I know I'd come home and eat cake while reading HP. 

I don't need half price cake. 

There are coconut chocolate wafer cookies in the cupboard! (No not the cupboard under the stairs.... Oh my goodness brain wave, a cup-board, a board to hold your cups! Brilliant) 

Well thanks blog now I knows the plan of action for the night! 

Step one: walk to kitchen 

Step 2: boil water 

Step III: make tea 

Step four-other steps: read HP in bed with tea and cookies. 

But most importantly.... no pants. 

Winking

Beard accused me of winking fifty times at him, in half an hour. 

I just figured out why!

Moving on

How do you!? 

Is the best way to cut them out? 

Give yourself space? 

Can one move on while maintaining contact? 

What to do? 

Social media makes it difficult. To unfriend or to no unfriend that is the question. 

Has it become a test, your not ready to let someone go till you are ready to delete them? For if they really care they can still message you, on FB or by text. Really how does one "move on" 

Beats me. 

Universe help???  

Games ugly

Title was what games ight (games night without the n) turned out to be via auto correct. Sometime I feel auto correct knows best. 

The games night was wonderful 

Matilda and I hosted. (For she is the worlds vestest (v=b) roomie. First to arrive was her friend Pippy, then Felicity and Beard showed up. A game if scrabble was played. Outside! Then we moved indoors and felicity challenged me to battle shots - I won, Rose and Chester joined the festivities and we all played cranium! Epic fun! (Oh Pedro joined during scrabble. Him and I won Cranium!! 

We sang, ate nachos and had a wonderful time! 

It was grand 

Jeremiah

Is the name of the backyard Travelocity tree gnome. 

Fact 

Matilda and I are relaxing in the sun. Reading, listening to music, soaking in the sweet rays. Laundry dries in the breeze. 

This summer has truly been wonderful. I adore our new home, I was able to get back to SaskToon, get a job out here, do yoga, and spend a copious amount of time in the beautiful sunshine. This summer has been as sunny as my summer in Greece! 

I had planned to go back this summer, to Greece, and travel around Europe. But instead I was invited to dance with a professional dance company in Vancouver. This apprenticeship begins on August 16th a mere week and a day away. I am ver excited and extremely nervous about this new experience. This is truly a dream come true about to happen. I remember the first time I saw this dance company preform in the first semester of my first year of university. I thought to myself, I want to dance in that company one day. And the time has almost arrived. :D 

As an apprentice I will be under studying all the dancers parts. That's 18 different people's choreography I will know. 65 hours in the studio in three weeks. I can wait! 

Recent text to Anne

I was walking down the street minding my own business and I look up and think its rather odd that a woman is holding a loaf of bread like a baby. Then I take a closer look and it is a baby!! 

Fabulous Friday August ninth in this two thousand and thirteenth year

Walking down Georgia street downtown Vancouver in the sun ( sporting my disguise glasses) with a bag of Candy in my purse!! Yes you read that right a bag of Candy. I just met up with my beautiful friend Anne. (Please remember all names have bred changed for the security of the identities in this blog... At this time that is very important for only Matilda had access...) Anne and I had a lovely crepe chat. She successfully got me out if bed at nine this morning! Oooo Staples! Must go find journal brb. ;) I see the sign but how do I get into this elusive staples... Walking and blogging at the same time is dangerous, but as you know I like to live on the wild side, escalator!!!!! 

I'm way too indecisive or I just can't find the perfect journal. I leave staples empty handed, back into the beautiful sunlight of the gorgeous day. I shall head back to kits upon the 22. Goblet time! In the sun!!!   

Unavailable

Recently I came to the conclusion that I seem to go for the guys who are unavailable, be that emotionally or by the mere fact that they are themselves in a relationship. 

What's with that?! 

I don't like it and I think it should be stopped. 

Thank you  

Mac and cheese

That is all. 

2 min

There are 2 min left in my break. I've been teaching under 6 year olds all day. I'm pretty exhausted. We are going on hour four. I don't know if I'm going to make it. There's a sharp pain in my left foot on the inside of the heel and I have a deep desire to read goblet. 

Prisoner

On this my fifth reading of HP I feel I would enjoy dating Fred or George ;) 

Thought during yoga

Every time we exhale, we defy gravity. 

Chamber of secrets

As I bask in the sun reading HP at my local Starbucks sipping an iced coffee I realized it would be unfair to the universe if I were in a relationship. 

I think I see my bus!

I had every intention to stay at English bay and watch the fireworks tonight. Matilda had a lovely day all planned out with bike riding in the park and mother mother outdoor concerts. 

There were just so many people at English bay, so many people that I dread my ride home. But I appear to be waiting just as long at this very moment for a bus that never comes. I could walk home in less time, and that's saying done thing for I'm downtown and my home is on kits.... I see a bus!!!! My bus!!!!! It's even a 2 :D I'm glad cause there is a full 22. 

I don't think there is any need to change the bus numbers. Oh shoot this bus is packed, but I made it :) 

On my way home. Ready to read more steak aside. 

Origami and tin whistle

Yes my afternoon has been filled with origami crane making and Felicity playing no scrubs on the tin whistle. 

Hanging out at my place. 

Has been nice. 

But it's bad for I want to read HP :) 

Thumb update...

My thumb is now sporting a rash... 

Street name

I'm on the bus after yoga, thinking of street names and I conclude that if a street is to be named after me I would want it to be a boulevard. But then I remember that King George hwy was demoted to a boulevard... Perhaps I would prefer a avenue. Kyle-Moffat Avenue. 

Slept in

Well it's Friday. First day if intermittent rain in over a month, you go glen coco. 

My sister and i met up with our old neighbors from SaskToon for lunch, it was fun! Nice to see people from the past. I wore my hipster fake glasses, makes me feel like I'm wearing a disguise. I love it! 

It's prob how men feel with beards, in cognito, 

Pet peeve, women who wear flats and those weird sock things that you can see. Maybe they would work if the sock thing was cute or colorful but not when it's beige and doesn't match your skin tone. Wow I care more about this than I thought I did. 

I am so full! We went to the wallflower and I had a Canuck burger. I don't think I will need to have another meal today. But I should clean a bit. I think I will visit my friendly neighborhood bearded wine man. 

...

I have to pee so bad! 

August 1st

Goodbye July, you have been one amazing month! Not only has the weather been spectacular but living in Vancouver is a dream. 

At this very moment I am at Benny's cafe on west broadway and larch drinking a small medium coffee and eating a cinnamon bun. I just went to the thrift shop down the block (with twenty dollars in my pocket!) and bought some books. Oh books you are my weakness. How I love thee. I still have yet to bring my books to van, they are still with my dresser in white rock. I have the drawers! {yes that's why my room is so messy... Because I have no dresser } 

Thursday, August 1st, well it's day four if my week of really nothing I absolutely have to do and I've already contracted cabin fever, I really don't enjoy sleeping in and doing next to noting... But I also can't seem to wake up early, such a predicament. 

Update my thumb is sill abnormally huge but no more hurting of itching! I think it's on the mend and I will get to keep my human status. 

I think I've done it, blog three and I'm already there, writing about nothing. Really I feel this is quite a feat. 

:)
