Welcome Baby Cameron!
Forgot to mention that my cousin Christine had a baby bow late last night! He is 9 pounds and 5 ounces and was delivered by a C section.

Monday, Monday, Monday
Why does the weather have to get nice all of a sudden when I am stuck inside at work? Oh well.
I had the weekend off this weekend, and it was a fairly good one too. Heather is visiting from PEI! Got to hang out with her on Saturday. We hung out at her sisters place with her gorgeous little niece Rebecca and made some cookies. Then went out to eat at Jackastors, the went to Starbucks/Chapters and the mall. After that I persuaded Andrew to come out drinking with me. We picked up booze - drank at my apartment then left for the Alehouse. Alehouse line was way too long for our liking, so we headed to the Dome instead. lets just say....I drank a lot. It was a super fun time and I am very surprised I didn't get sick from the bottle of wine and lots of beers I had at the bar.
Sunday = Hangover day. Which really meant getting McDonald's and aimlessly walking around town. I went to HMV and bought 4 new movies, and it only came to like 25$ for all of them! Gotta love the bargain bins. I bought Never Been Kissed, Lady in the Water (most under ratted M. Night Shamalon movie out there!) and a set of the 2 Ace Ventura movies! yayyy! So later that day I did laundry and planted myself on the coach for 2 hours straight.
Last night me and Danielle went to see Picnicface's Best Of Show at Gingers. They are preparing to go to to Toronto for the Skecth Festival (woot woot!). It was HALARIOUS. My stomach was ruined by the end of the night from laughing so hard. I regret not going to their shows very much this year but last night made up for lost time. I'm thinking I will go to the Yuk Yuks show on Tuesday as well.
After the show me and Danielle went to Maxwell's for some awesome nachos and a good chat. So all in all...this weekend was pretty good. Spent a lot of money on bad food and alcohol...butttt I had fun so that's all that matters.
Wow...what an average post. I wish I had more to say but at the moment life is pretty laid back. I have been coming to terms with a lot of issues I have had lately. Been realizing that I need to change some things about myself to get what I want...which is good. I am glad I have realized this. Some people make mistakes but never know what to learn from them...I like to think this year has been one of growth for me, and recently it has been at a peek.
Besides that nothing on my mind really other then the fact that this year has gone by so fast! So now I am thinking about next year and the fact that I graduate....yikes. The future is exciting but scary at the same time.
Now back to work till 4:30....then who knows!

Beautiful Wreck
I love this song and this video.
She reminds me of me. Smashing stuff one minute and dancing around the next.
i need to smash stuff.
and dance.
Makes me sick....
Animal cruelty makes me sick.
If you haven't heard already, The Halifax SPCA shelter experienced a traumatic incident the other day. Someone abandoned 2 young cats, one of which was pregnant, at the shelter and left them under an employees car. The employee, unaware of this, accidentally hit the 2 cats. One died instantly and the other survived...at the time. I read on the website today the pregnant mother cat had to be put down because it was inhumane to keep her alive, given her condition. Not only has whoever done this, killed two cats but they have traumatized this SPCA worker. This has got to stop. I am so sick to my stomach over this.
The worst part of it is, we don't know who did it. The SPCA have issued a number of press releases urging anyone who knows anything to come forward. People should not get away with things like this. Obviously, the SPCA is considering its options as to what can be done to prevent this, however, if it doesn't happen in the parking lot of the shelter, it happens everywhere else. And unfortunately we can not stop it every time. Whoever did this may have done it because of the pregnant cat...which is why efforts and education needs to be initiated to inform the public about the importance of spaying and neutering their pets.
My thoughts are with the SPCA employee. I can only image how upset she is.
My sister Mary is on the Board with the SPCA and has been doing a lot of PR for them lately...she is one of two media spokespersons. I have decided to join the very small, but existent, PR committee. They need all the help they can get and this cause is so close to my heart its hard for me to NOT get involved.

Tattoo Inspiration
Ideas for my next tattoo:
1) Music note with stars surrounding it - representing my passion fo music
2) A tree - very simply designed with the word strength, hope or dignity under it. This will likely be the one I will get. Thought long and hard about it. When I look around at photos that I love, they all have trees in them. My favourite photos include either trees,sunsets or the ocean.
My decision to do this is based on a qoute:
"Some trees grow very tall and straight and large in the forest close to each other, but some must stand by themselves or they won't grow at all." - Oliver Wendell Holmes
At this point in my life its a time of growing, and standing alone...learning to be independant and not relie on others so much. The image of a tree standing alone, yet thriving, makes me think of exactly how I want to be....so this tattoo idea seems like it may be the one.
In terms of the word choice...hope has always been a word i have wanted to use. I am going to think more about it. Dignity is a strong word for me....and strength would go very well with the tree image. Thoughts?
Here are some pics I have found for inspiration:
I like the simplicity of these trees...
Where I got the idea

Hmmm?
After reading back through my blog, I realize that I am not really useing it for the reason I started it. It seems I am expressing myself through pictures and youtube videos...which is okay. I never write myself. I guess I will try to do that now?
I have been consuming myself in work latly. I think I have been in a weird state of mind latly, one that requires a lot of "distractions" - so focusing on work seems to be an appropriate thing to do. Besides that my life is pretty laid back. I hang out with friends while I can, although latly it seems less and less. I watch a lot of TV and movies, listen to a lot of music. I'm trying to get back into drawing again. Trying to try new things as much as I can too.
Yet, despite being busy a lot of the time, and having a good amount of friends to hang out with, I sorta feel like I am lacking close relationships as of now. I feel like I'm not really close with anyone, at least not consistently. While some people are fine with that, I feel like now more then ever I need close friends in my life. But if life has taught me anything, its that you can't always get what you want, so I have been making do with being lonely. Its almost like I am numb to it now. Living alone dosen't help it at all. Guess I just need to make more of an effort to hang out with people. Usually people associate loneiliness with the lack of a boyfriend, which I really don't. I mean I just miss haveing a rock in my life. Come to think about it I dunno if I ever have had a rock in my life. Bleh. My post seems so depressing.
Right now its about focusing. Honestly, I need to focus on myself for a bit. I get so wrapped up in other peoples livews I forget about my mine. I put efforts into relationships that I never get back what i give....so why even bother? Work is most important to me right now, as well as attempting to get some self esteem back. While it seems cheesy, the whole "learn to love yourself before loving anyone else" - its very true. This past year has been one of turmoil. While my intentions are nothing but good, I have gotten burned more times this year then ever before. Its time to recover and focus on getitng back up rather then staying down in the dumps about it. I can't keep over thinking why things happened the way they did....though its hard not to when you are a girl.
Perhaps i'll get a gym membership. That might help the exterior part of me...as for the interior...I have no idea.
