Brilliance
I am changing. Ever so slightly, but I can feel it happening. Day by day I become someone new. The girl who was here yesterday quickly becomes a stranger, fading into the distance as I continue to speed along the road of life.
With each passing day I gain a little more insight to the world around me. Things become clearer. It becomes easier to make choices I would have deemed too tough in days prior. I loose sight of unimportant trivial details and set my priorities accordingly.
I gain knowledge. It feeds my mind the way blood quenches a vampires thirst. I become more aware of what I need to do and how it will benefit myself and those around me. I re-evaluate the way I live my life and those who I allow to share it.
I am gaining strength. I am gaining courage. I am gaining a sense of self. I am becoming the girl I was always meant to be. Slowly but surely I will get there. I will be live up to my potential and I will be brilliant.

His girl Friday’s Weekend Kick Off Song
In an effort to bring some familiarity to my very unplesent day I decided that it was a good idea to post a kick off song. I feel like I’ve lost some control and its comforting to know that I can control the content of this blog, for example the song that I choose to post. This week I give you What Is Love by Never Shout Never. I’m not too familiiar with this band but apparently they’re on warped tour this summer so check them out.
I’m also really into to the new Paramore single Brick By Borning Brick. The video is pretty rad.
Anyways, enjoy your weeeknds and keep your hearts hidden some where safe. They can be easily damaged when they’re on your sleeve.

And So It Ends...
Not only are we coming to the end of another calendar year but a decade as well. In a few days 2009 will be a thing of the past. '09 has been a rough year for a lot of people, my self included. I'm sure a lot of people are eager to put it behind them. 2009 has taught me that life is anything but a cake walk and that you can be thrown a curve ball without a moments notice. Whether you catch that curve ball or drop it or completely miss it or have it hit you in the face is not the point though. It's about whether you shake it off and get ready to catch the next one and pull your self into the fetal position and cry, waiting for someone to come help you get back on your feet.
In 2009 I lost friends, was broke, constantly looking for a job, had multiple almost break ups with my boyfriend along with a bunch of other unpleasant issues and dilemmas. I learned that you should not depend on anyone but your self and the importance of Independence, self reliance, knowing who your real friends are and having a sense of humour. If you can't laugh at your self and the mess you're in than it's going to make your bad day seem a lot longer than it needs to be.
Even though 2009 was basically cleaning up one mess after another, it wasn't all bad. I did some pretty rad things in 2009. I spent the weekend in Niagara Falls for my birthday with some of my closest friends. I went to Detroit with Allan and our car got stuck in the snow on 8 Mile. I hung out on the beach in Grand Bend a few times this summer with friends, one of those trips I was able to defeat Allan in a game of air hockey. I saw A LOT of concerts, far too many to list. I was there for blink-182's first Canadian show on their reunion tour. I made a few new friends and reconnected with old ones. Spent time in bars, both gay and straight. Saw both the world and people in a different light. I went to my first +19 plus show and tweeted like a teenie. I bought my first drink at a show, that happened to be all ages. I told far to many 'That's What She Said' jokes and most importantly, lived life.
As horrible as people claim 2009 was I have no regrets. I lived life. My uncle once said to me something along the lines of this: I am where I am because I made a series of choices. He's a pretty wise and rad dude, if I say so myself. Sometimes you need to make mistakes and get your hands dirty to end up where you want to be. I may not be exactly where I want to be or have all the answers yet, but I'm 21 years old. I'm not suppose to be any where close to being near the finish line.
To all that read my blog I wish you all a happy holiday season. I hope that you all have high hopes for 2010. I wish nothing but the best for each and every one of you. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty, take a risk, or take that leap into the unknown. It may have a huge pay off in the end. Don't let anything stand in your way. Open that business, go to school, record a demo, post a blog, sell your painting. Grab your dreams and run with it.
Thank you to everyone who have been there to support me and accept me for the mess that I am. Sarah H, Erin, Holly, Mom, Dad, Uncle Peter, Aunt Theresa, Allan, Tyson, Jesse, Nicki, Ryan Isemeyer, Ashely... You guys are why I am here today in one piece. Thank You.
Love Peace Happiness

His girl Friday's Weekend Kick Off Song
Yesterday I had to stop at the mall to pick up my boyfriend's xmas gift I had ordered. i had my iPod on and turned up loud. Walking through the mall I felt on top of the world and nothing could touch me. I was wearing a pretty rad top I had jst bought, make up done. I just felt amazing. Afraid of loosing the moment I kept repeating the song.
For thoughs of you expecting something to put you in the holiday spirit... I leave you with this

His girl Friday's Weekend Kick Off Song
Hola Readers
It's hella cold outside. It's snowey and and windy and cold. I have a bunch of errands to run, christmas shopping included. I'm been putting it all of as I've been listening to the 90's nooner with Josie Dye on 102.1 The Edge. I sent an e-mail in hopes that she would play my song but with only 8 minutes left it's not looking for good.
I've been working like crazy but I wont see the fruits of that labour for another two weeks. I've been stressed out and today is my only day off. After running my errands I will probably hang out in my apartment, get drunk and watch movies on tv. If you have any better ideas please send them my way, as I am having a great hair day. Perfect hair actually.I hate when you look hot and have no where to go. It bums me out.
I got a bunny. He's all black and fairly small. I named him Cooter, but I feel like he shouls have a more bad ass name. Let me know what you think.
Back to the topic at hand. I'm digging this 90's punk/rock/music thing. To try and make the best of this waste of a day I am showering you with rock music.
I'm also giving you Say It Aint So by Weezer just because it's such a shitty day otu there that you might as well have some bad ass music as a pick me up.
Catch ya on the flip side home slices

I'll Say A Little Prayer For You
I am not a religious person by any means. If I was going to adapt anything it would probably be buhdism. My boyfriend on the other hand has a strong religous upbringing.
Not realising we were suppose to get a snow storm he drove to Detroit tonight to see Dashboard Confessionals play an acoustic show. He is now stranded in London, contemplating sleeping in his car because of road conditions. He's still two hours away from home. (Mississauga)
He has requested that I pray that he gets home safely. I can send out positive thoughts and direct positive energy in his direction but I'm not sure that I have it in me to pray. It's not that I don't want him to get home safely, I'm just concerned that a prayer from me wouldn't count for anything. I'm not exactly high up on God's answer list.
I believe that there is something that comes after death, and if there's a god up there that I will have to answer to one day than that's fine by me. I just haven't been the most loyal of subjects during my almost 22 years of life on this planet. Why would s/he bother to listen to me when I've done nothing but doubt their existance?
For Allan's benefit though, I would like to politely request and hope for his safe journey home. God, or who ever answers theses thoughs and wishes people send out to the cosmic void and beyond, please keep him safe. If anyone reading this could send out a positive though for him it would be appreciated.

I love LIGHTS. She's playing in Kitchener Saturday night and if you have the chance I reccomend going if you have the $20 to spare. I've posted songs from LIGHTS before so there's no need for me to go on about her amazingness. Enjoy

Move Along
I’m all moved in. Until I get my room in January though I don’t think it will actually feel like home. This is what I wanted, to be on my own, to live my own life without interruptions. Although there is always someone here yesterday I just felt really lonely.
I was suppose to be in Mississauga/Toronto all weekend but my boyfriends life was far to busy to fit me in like originally planned. When he could squeeze me in it was obvious he was inconviencing himself and that he didn’t want me there. I had gotten all dressed up Saturday and ended up staying home.
Sunday I went to a friends house and watched a few movies and saw her new kitten. Afterwards I proceded to go grocery shopping by myself. I felt very empty and alone. I couldn’t get ahold of any of my other friends or my boyfriend all day. I just needed to keep myself busy with something fun. Even just to talk to my boyfriend, to know that I’m going to be ok would have been helpful.
I went home and unpacked my groceries. I Talked to my mom and my brother and my friend Courtney for a bit but I only felt more alone. I sat infront of my computer trying to cry as discretly as possible. I know I’m going to be ok, I just need some time to adjust to my new surroundings. I’m going to be okay.
I didn't post a weekend kick off song this past Friday. I was so busy it just slipped my mind. Sorry.

My Night Out As An Adult
I had a great evening. I met my aunt for dinner and had some delicous chicken parmesan. I haven't had an actual mean in awhile so I'm sure anything would have tasted good, but this was truly tastey. For dessert we shared a scrumptious white chocolate brownie. Throughout our meal we chatted about life and the current events of out lives.
We then went to The Center in the Square to see Avenue Q. It was so refreshing to walk through the doors and be surrounded by college/unviversity students and adults. Avenue Q was a hysterical musical. I actually laughed out loud along with everyone else in the theaters. With songs about hows its ok to be gay but im not gay, the internet is for porn, every one is a little bit racist and having a girlfriend in Canada named Alberta who lived in Vancouver and wanting to eat her pussy how could you not laugh? Some of the language was vulgar, but definately funny.
Like every thing ment to entertain Avenue Q did have a message. Life is hard, but it gets better. I was definately a fan of this play. I liked how they mixed live actors and puppets so easily. I can also appreciate the similarities between Avenue Q and Seaseme Street.
Big thanks to my aunt who invited me to be her guest this evening. It was a great experience and I enjoyed spending time with her, as always.

His girl Friday's Weekend Kick Off Song
Pokerface - You Me At Six
I've said it before, I'll say it again, I love punk covers of popular pop songs. You Me At Six is a band from the UK that I have fallen in love with. I typically don't like accents, with an exception of aussie accents but the lead singer makes me swoon like he was Edward Cullen.
I'm proud to be able to take full credit for the video because I filmed it. I got a little to into the song though so it's kind of shakey... Sorry. I just saw these guys open on The AP Fal Ball Tour. If you have the chance to see them live I reccomend you do so.

Random, I know.
Hello Blogosphere. Just thought I'd take a moment, sit down infront of my keyboard and type. Even if no one else seems to care, I love writing about the little things, like how my day went, things that are coming up, things that have crossed my mind. I used to do that all the time when I blogged daily on my myspace. When starting this blog though I wanted to keep the daily rantings about my life out of it. Now that I no longer use myspace I lack that outlet.
I'm not saying I'm going to start posting everyday about how frustrating my life is or how I hate so and so for being a such and such, but today I feel like talking about me and what I want and what's goign on in my life. I'm able to do the right?
Theater
My aunt invited me to go see Avenue Q next week at The Center In The Square. My aunt and I used to go see plays at Theater and Company on King St in kitchener. None of my friends appreciate seeing plays like I do so when she first invited me to see soemthing with her I was over the moon. I LOVE theater. There's something about drinking over priced coffee and seeing a play that just makes me feel so cool. My Aunt is the only relative who still enjoys my company and wants to be around me. I guess when you get older people forget about you or assume that ou're too busy being a young and impressionable adult to what to hang out with old folk ;-). She's a pretty cool person to around so I'm really looking forward to it.
Travel
I want to take a trip. Whether it be some where warm to escape the cold come March or across the pond this summer I really want to go somewhere. I've been talkign about a trip since high school and have yet to do it. I really want to travel and I think that now is the time to do it. I'm young and I don't have any real responsibilities other than providing my self the basic necesities of life. I'm not married or have any children. I don't see that changing at all within the next few years. I have some debt, but it wouldn't take long to pay it off. The way I see it, I have 3 years, 4 at most to be care free and selfish. I would like to get married and have kids and I think 25 is a good age for me to start thinking about that. I want to enjoy my youth but at the same time I don't want to be 60 and still be supporting my children. As much as I'd love to be a mother, I want them out of my house and off to college so that I can enjoy traveling and retirement when I'm finanically stable. I want to go to Africa and see a giraffe in its natural habbitat. I want to tan on a white sand beach in thailand. I want to check out all the cool shops in Tokyo, I want to eat vegemite in Austrailia. Theres no way I am going to be able to afford to do thoughs things within the next 3-5 years and I'm ok with that. One day I will do these things though. Getting pregnant after the age of 35 or 36 will make it a little difficult though.
Future
On the same note, I think my aunt and uncle were smart about things. Even they had their child later in their lives they only had one. My cousin and uncle have an amazing relationship. My parents don't have that kind of time to dedicate to one kid like that. They bought a house, fixed it up and paid it off. They are mortgage free. If life decided to throw them a lemon they're not going to be totally screwed and will have no problem making the best tasting lemonaid ever. I want that. I want a normal sized house in a good neighnourhood that my partner and I can pay off. I want one kid, maybe 2 and a dog. I want to live within my means and save. I want to send my kids to college and that way when they are no older than 23 they are living on their own. I can fcuk off the Africa or Thailand or Tokyo or Austrailia for 3 months when I'm in my late 50's and loosing my house or my children needing me will be the least of my worries. Career wise I have no idea what I want to do, but when I grow up I want what they have.
I'm ending this monster of a blog and putting on a movie/getting into bed. Good night friends.

I want a normal sized house in a good neighnourhood that my partner and I can pay off. I want one kid, maybe 2 and a dog. I want to live within my means and save. I want to send my kids to college and that way when they are no older than 23 they are living on their own. I can fcuk off the Africa or Thailand or Tokyo or Austrailia for 3 months when I'm in my late 50's and loosing my house or my children needing me will be the least of my worries. Career wise I have no idea what I want to do, but when I grow up I want what they have.
I'm ending this monster of a blog and putting on a movie/getting into bed. Good night friends.

His girl Friday's Weekend Kick Off Song
Checkmarks - The Academy Is...
I know I'm a little late, but what ever. I just got home from the Fall Ball Show at The Guvernment in Toronto. Friday the 13th certainly was unlucky. Despite leaving early it took us an hour and forty five minutes to get the the venue when it ususally takes an hour. There was construction and it was stop and go and then we took 427 North instead of 427 South. Missed meet and greet by ten minutes. On the way home the 427 was closed and we ended up takign brown line and going through mississauga. Luckily my dad can give great directions.
With all that a side, the show was amazing. You Me At Six, The Secret Handshake, Set Your Goals, Mayday Parade and The Academy Is... put on a great show. The only issue I have is that the set was way to short. The Academy Is... played a lot fo their first album, Almost Home, which was great but it would have been nice to hear some stuff from Santi and Fast Times At Barrington High.
I read somewhere that you have not lived until you've moshed to checkmarks. It's a personal fav and I am all over the place when it plays live. enjoy.
