Shutter Island = 500 Stars
Always go with your gut when it comes to movies. It’s happened far too often recently that I hear bad things about a movie, then I go and see it and come out beyond satisfied. The second I saw a trailer for Shutter Island I knew it was going to be fantastic, but all last week I heard mediocre things about it. Everyone said it was too long, slow and confusing. We went anyway, though. I...

Feb.28.10: A Fictional Book
This one is easy :) I finally picked up a book again, so for my fictional book day I will choose it.
I just started reading Jane Eyre yesterday morning. I’m only a few pages in and I already adore it. It’s just the type of book I loved when I was a kid, except written for a mature audience (not content-wise, but in its writing style). I love classics.
That’s the end of my share...

Feb.27.10: Whatever Tickles Your Fancy
Today I feel like my free choice should be an apology, and a promise.
I’m sorry for not being the best I can be. I am irritable and selfish. I say hurtful things. Friday night I created a toxic atmosphere by saying mean things about people, and once I got going I just couldn’t stop. All day on Saturday I felt terrible, all that toxicity was manifesting inside me in retribution. And so...

Feb.25.10: A Photo Of You Taken Over Ten Years Ago
The oldest digital photo I have of myself goes back to about 12 years old. That’s only 6 years ago, so when I go home for the weekend I’ll grab a photo album and find one.
[edit: Here’s one:
This is not something I grew out of. I still look like this when I leave certain classes (printmaking, every time). And food! I get ice cream on my forehead :P /edit]

Feb.26.10: A Photo of You Taken Recently
This was January. I’d been sleepily webcamming with Sam, and I goofed around when I was done.

Feb.25.10: Tattoos
I hate the next tattoo (the My Little Pony one), but there’s something that I love about it that I can’t put my finger on… It is an awful tattoo, though, that’s for sure.

Simple concepts
I’m so frustrated with my parents. Sam got accepted to Ottawa U, and when I let them know the good news they were like, Oh so you want to go to Ottawa U instead. Why haven’t you been accepted yet? And more pointless statements. Just because I’m happy that Sam got accepted doesn’t mean that I suddenly hate Guelph. I get so annoyed when Mom makes stupid assumptions like that...

Free health care rocks!
lol, I just saw the lamest comeback to the “Were you making fun of Canada? I couldn’t hear you over our free health care” statement: “Were you making fun of Americans? I couldn’t hear you over all the money I’m not paying to taxes for health care for other people.” lol, that’s a terrible comeback. It doesn’t roll off the tongue, and it...

Feb.24.10: A Photo You Took
Once upon a time I fancied myself to be a photographer. It seemed like a lot of my friends went through the phase. It’s nice for people to have hobbies and get outside. This hobby helped get me out of the house during the summer (and oh how I love summer <3). lol, maybe I should take it up again then :P (*jokes)
This is a photo of my darling cat, Kitsey. He is the sweetest cat...

Feb.24.10: To-do
Today’s gonna be a lazy day. I don’t mind, since yesterday was very productive. I like balance. I thought that yesterday I’d be working on my drawing project all night, and then all night today. Thank goodness I was wrong. So now I have today to relax before my full day of class tomorrow. I even slept in really late (not on purpose - I accidentally left my clock on alarm view...

The Eighth Commandment
I have realized my attitude towards downloading movies and music comes from my Christian upbringing. It’s so difficult to shake off the things you’ve staunchly believed for 16 years. My pro-life stance and caution towards sex are most likely thanks to Christianity, but I choose to stand by those beliefs now because it is right for me. It’s funny how I keep finding things that...

Placing the Skeleton Under the Body
I finished my drawing project! Yay :) I hope it’s good enough… I feel very pleased with it, but I also feel like somehow, there’s something that I haven’t done that I could or should. When I see the other projects that were done by my peers, I’ll know. But I suppose there’s nothing I can do now… What I had to do was draw the skeleton on tracing paper over...

Teacher Emphasizes Old-Fashioned Etiquette →
capriceux:
(Feb. 21) – Boys at one Arizona public high school have spent the past year learning to open doors for girls, pull out chairs for their female classmates and stand when a girl enters a room.
Interesting concept. It’s nice to see teachers emphasize general behaviour, seeing as they play such a pivotal role in how kids learn to act (although they’re more influential in...

Feb.23.10: A Photo That Makes You Sad/Angry
This is a photo that makes me sad. I’m very strongly pro-life, and I get very sad when I think about / talk about / hear about abortion. I don’t want to go into further detail because it’s such a sensitive issue, and I’m sorry if I offended / upset anyone by even bringing it up.

Portfolio: Art Information Sheet
Here is what I wrote on my art information sheet, a part of my portfolio required at Ottawa U. I had to address my background in art; the areas that I have experience in; contemporary artists that interest me and why; why I want to go to Ottawa U; and my personal/professional artistic goals. Since this says a lot about me, I thought I’d share it.
I have had an interest in art since I was a...

Let the past be the past
It seems like (hopefully) last week was just a bad week. It started off poorly, I was very upset when I had wasted a full 10 hours on Tuesday. Then Thursday was incredibly stressful, and I ended up taking Friday off. I was an emotional wreck all Friday, and I still seem to be a little. I tear up at everything, but I’m not a pile of sadness. I’m just a little sensitive I guess. This...

Random crazy sociopath?
I can’t believe the people that are out there…. There’s this video review of Percy Jackson done by LTA, and on it a lady says she loved the book. Then this guy starts commenting about how that lady is such a loser for reading children’s books, and I didn’t think that was a fair statement. She may be a librarian, book store employee, mother, grandmother, teacher, etc...

March Madness
I want to participate in those silly holidays. I want to be enthusiastic and spirited about things that normally seem dumb to me (major holidays), so I’ll pay more attention to the minor (some extremely minor) ones, and have some fun.
For March, there is:

5 - Employee Appreciation Day

I love America’s Next Top Model :)
I watched cycle 12 online when my friends recommended it, and I loved it. I watched all the cycles on Youtube (it’s a little harder to find now because the main uploader, kaffekanna, was suspended when she added Gossip Girl episodes). The only cycle I’ve watched in real time was cycle 13, with my bestie at Carleton. I’m super psyched...

“If you love life, life will love you back.”
I’ve always been a friendly cheerful person who simply enjoys life. Of course, I have my sad moments (hello winter blues *sigh), but I always like to look to the positive. Example: even though I’m super bummed about this semester at school, I miss my family and I’m struggling to communicate effectively with my boyfriend...

Agreement #3
I feel like I’m always on display, like there’s always someone judging me. Whenever I do something, I always end up trying very hard to be able to explain why I did what I did. If something would seem hurtful and explaining it would take too long, I just won’t do it, even if it’s the best thing for me. I would much rather prefer that my actions be defined by how I feel, but...

Hey! Thank you, as well, for following! I can’t seem to view your page… It let me earlier, but now it’s just a white screen? :/
And, thanks about the pictures! I’m very random, and it is reflected in what I post. I can understand about Lady Gaga. She’s definitely a certain kind of… I don’t even know, but I find her fabulous. Haha.
