86

Last year I posted 86 times. This is my 86th post this year. To celebrate Beating my record from last year I’m going to represent 8 of my Favourite things/people and 6 of my favourite pictures/pictures of Chuck Bass!

Get ready for it........



1. Post Secret.
Ever heard about it? If yes, you'll know why I love it. If no then let me give you the run down. Post Secret was created by Frank Warden, basically he handed out post card with his address on them and asked people to anonymously send in their deepest secrets. Every Sunday he posts the secrets on his blog, also he has compiled a few books. Post secret is amazing, some of them are dirty, and some are funny but most are from a stranger’s heart. 2. Cardigans. In High School I was all about the hoodie. But as my taste refine I fine my self buying a Cardigan in every color. You can't go wrong in a cardigan
3.Peonies. In true Blair Waldorf style my favourite flower is not a rose, or a Gerber daisy, but a Peony. Once when I lived on the other side of the bridge, a knock came at my door. When I opened it there stood an old feeble man. Holding a bunch of bright pink peonies. He looked at me and said, "These are for you my dear." he handed them to me and walked away. Peonies are my favourite flower
4. Pizza. Once apon a time I ate pizza pretty much every day for 6 months. Most poeple would be tired of pizza after that much pizza eating. However I am not. When I got back to the bridge I discovered Two Guys and a Pizza Place. They have the best, and I mean the beat pizza I ever tasted! Unfortunately if you aren't in Canada your going to have to miss out. But it is worth a trip, so next time your in the country check them out!
5. TOMS
Shoes. These are super cool shoes. And a part of the proceeds are used to by children who can't afford shoes, shoes. So if you’re looking for so unique kicks and a way to help the world, check them out!
6.
Free weekly song download on Itunes. For those of use who don't steal our music (not that there's anything wrong with that, I would if I could) There is Itunes. And for those of use that don't like to spend all our mooohla on bands that we aren't to sure of; there’s free downloads! Some of my new favourites include: Octoberman, Patrick Watson, and The Wooden Sky. Free my favourite word.
7. Ellen. Do I need to say more? 8. Glee. Not only does the music of this show fill my soul, so does the beauty of the two leading men of this show. Note to Glee veiwers.....You can not get a girl preggers from making out in the hot tube. These are not taken by me......as I have never met Ed Westwick. Sadly. But I do love them so.

Sunny days and class photo shoots

I am ok at taking pictures. Today in one of my classes (the one I had to buy the $500 camera for) we took some. We first learnt about shutter speed. I didn't know you could control shutter speed, I thought you snap and thats it! not so. It can go faster or slower, and depending on the speed it lets you capture different things. Heres a few of my best shots.....I'm still learning so don't judge!





I know not to shabby right?? stay tuned for more Art@Heart photograohy!

To much homework has taken my abilities to think of catchy titles.



I must tell you about Pete my broadcast teacher. Mostly because in my head he is one of the most comical people I have met.
Pete is a 40 something news anchor. He sounds like it.....I swear every time he speaks he sounds like he's on the radio. If I close my eyes and relax I can pretend that he is a documentary on CBC, it makes him more interesting to me. Anyways Pete always wears these horrid button up shirts that are just one button to many open. Just open enough to see a bit of his chest hair. I'm thinking of getting him a gold chain. That's all he needs to look like a 40 year single Italian man. That and a super duper accent!
Anyways He has made me teachers pet. I'm sure it's because of my brilliant answers and my charming persona. But really I kind of wish I wasn't. I am on a daily basis the class example, even for things that really don't need an example I am made one. Today: "Lets say I want to know some thing class, I wouldn't just go on goggle...blah blah blah...I would ask Cathy!" Right, ask me the first question on that list, I promise you I have no clue who Mikey Moris is. Plus he thinks he is super smooth, he laughs at his own jokes and has dance moves to top it off!
Maybe to you he doesn't sound as funny as he is to me. But let me tell you, to me he is straight out of Saturday night live skit. Chest hair and all.

Went to the Doctor today again. I have been to the Doctor more times this summer than ever in my life. If my Mom was writing this she would say, "It's because you are so grown up, and responsible adults go to the doctor when they are hurt." I how ever don't buy into that, sorry Mom. Responsible adults avoid the Doctor just as much as I do! I personally broke down and went to the doctor because he has the "good" drugs. That’s why responsible adults go to the Doctor. 
Either way I walked in to the clinic looked at the waiting room and walked out. Well after the receptionist said it was three hour wait. See responsible adults have family Doctors. I'm not that responsible, and even if I was, the Doctor closes his office at 5. I get done class at 5:20. So I am a walk in kind of girl. So needless to say I did not get the good drugs. But I did grill a pharmacist to find out what I could take that didn't require a prescription to kill the pain. She was not helpful.

I am a fan of singing songs at the top of my lungs over the radio so everyone knows that I am in the car. LeahN is a fan of singing made up words to Taylor Swift in the middle of Wal Mart. I didn't notice at first, I thought she was just singing the words to "you belong with me". Unitl the phrase "and your a stupid butt head" was used. Um wait a minute; I don't recall Taylor having lyrics quite so..........stupid? 
I am of fan of walking/driving by a good looking man and saying "Dang!"
LeahN is a fan of driving past the man that I just said was fine, honking her horn and screaming out the window "SHE'S SINGLE!!! AND HOT!!!" 
I am a fan of hard bristled tooth brushes.
LeahN is a fan of then using the word "Hard" to describe al the things her and her man will one day do....in the middle of Wal Mart, next to the man she honked her horn at.
LeahN is a fan of her boy friend.
I am a fan of sitting on the phone while their on the phone saying, "No you hang up....No no you hang up. No I love you more, ok no you hang up first!" while she throws pillows, books and yesterday hard buns at me.
Pay back is so simple with her......

Monday

First off, I want to say that I thought I was brilliant at spotting a gay man.

But since acquiring my first GBFF, I have realized that I am not good at it.


Point and case:
-Hot boy who never talks, is in 75% of my classes, finally talked. Turns out my preconceived notions about him being one of "those guys" was wrong. Definitely Gay.
-Strange boy who talks to him self while walking, in two of my classes. Would never have guesses that he was gay. He is.
-Bri has a Starbucks stalker. Not gay.....to my surprise.


So I am being schooled in the ways of the gays. By the end of this semester I am determined to spot a gay man from a mile away.
Women are a bit easier for me.........for obvious reasons.


B sent an email two days ago. I was so excited, when I saw that he had finally written! when I opened it I was less excited. Don't get me wrong I love B, but he is really smart. I am smart too! My mom said we are both intelligent beings that’s why we get along so well. I think it is more that I except that he is a little.....odd, and acts like a 12 year boy. Either way I looked at the screen and closed the email. It was a thing he wrote, I had to do my mental exercises to get ready to read it. I was not about to read that on a Saturday.....my mind was taking the weekend off.


Gossip Girls started again........that was a pause for my "I love Chuck Bass" dance. I had no point with this one, just wanted to let you know that I will be returning to my undying crush on Chuck Bass.


In between classes, Bri BRog and I, have time to burn. Some days we spend it out side complaining while BRog has a smoke break (Bri isn't a huge fan of cigarettes, I am oblivious to it). Some days we spend it in the Endeavor (the College News paper). Some days we spend it in the caf drinking Arizona and chatting.

Today we spent it in the Caf Drinking Arizona, Then at star bucks (aka Heaven) drinking Chai Lattes, then drinking water while doing homework. Of course none of this liquid drinking hit me until half way through a lecture class.
Then I had to make a decision, did I really want to miss the lecture and hobble to the other side of the building to the bathroom? Since my foot hasn’t improved I opted out. Then two minutes later I decided that was a bad decision and made a break for it. Well you know as fast as you can make a break for it on a foot that is swollen up far beyond normal size. Moral of the story, don't drink during college.

Ok that’s it, I'm out of ideas. It's Monday, nothing inspiring happens on Mondays.

I love him for his words

I honesty haven't had much to say this week......shocking. Schools good, nothing to exciting with that. You know text books, classes, spending most of my day trying to figure out if the boy I think is cute is gay or not. I'll tell you about that sometime......when I figure it out! But today I have come to this blog to tell you about the man I love am fond of.
I know I bet you didn't know I was in love fond of some one. Well maybe not love fondness........I'm not such a fan of that word. But I def have a HUGE crush on him. Yup that’s right ladies and SAB (the only man that I know who read my blog!), I have a massive crush.
I have a crush on a blogger.
lol. You thought I was serious didn't you? 
About a month ago I clicked onto Peter DeWolf's page peterdewolf.wordpress.com. Let me just stamp a mature content sticker on this sentence. Peter is rather umm.........blunt. He's a man who likes things that the average man likes (Girls their legs and other girl parts). So if you’re not up for "man" jokes and swear words, I don't suggest you check it out. That’s a lie I do, he's a brilliant writer, and I could read his blog all day long. He also wrote a novella. Which I have not read but am sure is full of cute dialog and humour.
Anyways I have a crush on him. But I like him for his writing. After a month of reading his blog I think it's time to come out. Maybe it's his witty sarcasm; I really like a guy who knows how to use sarcasm (that wasn't sarcasm). Or maybe it's his great relationship advice (great might not be the word). Whatever it is, I'm hooked, and day dreaming waiting for more. 
So if you want to check out my crush! Maybe you'll fall in love strong liking, with him too!

Fan of Friday

This week I could really think of nothing better to be a fan of than..................
.................GOSSIP GIRL season 3!



I know it's a little late and the first episode is out, but I couldn't not give my favorite show a spot on fan of Fridays!

Losing my *%$#


Sorry about the profanity but really......there's no other way to express how I feel! At this moment. But please let me elaborate.
Flash back to 5:00 this afternoon, I am sitting class listening to my radio broadcaster teacher Pete. He wraps up his sentence, I'm half expecting him to say "And I'm Pete Gringas for Global news”. He then tells us about this guy, Troy Reeb, He graduated from my program in 85'. He is now the vice-president of Can West Global. The biggest Media Company in North America. He, once a year, picks one LC student for a ten day internship with him in April.



.............
............
.............
That was me totally losing my #$%*.
If I got the internship I would spend half the time in Ottawa interning ant the National Post. And the other half in TO with him, shadowing him going to meetings, meeting some of the most influential Media personal in Canada.
.................
.................................
.................
Still losing it. 
This could be a HUGE HUGE break. Do you even understand!?!?!
I can try this year, and if I don't get it, I can try next year to.
Just had to let you know that I am totally losing my #$%*!!!!
And have a chance of making my life dreams come true.

hearts stars and blood.

So I finished my first week of school. Well it was really only three days long, but I think it counts as the first week. We have moved on from the course outline stage, and now it's time to get down in dirty.
So here are a few stories and decisions that have happened this week.

1. Did I ever tell you the program I'm in is not called Print Journalism? That's just my major. My program is called Communication arts. Apparently we have a notorious rep for being a bunch of out of control kids. Who go for what they want, while talking above the teacher the whole time. I could see that. The first thing I learned is that the College has deals with three other Universities. One in the Big City, One is up north and One Is on Victoria Island. The deal is, if you graduate from this program then you can go there and get a diploma. You don't have to apply, you can just transfer. I also learned that there is an accelerated diploma program in Victoria! Which means that when I graduate and get my degree, I can go to Victoria, and in one year have a degree and a diploma? 
GASP!
That was a lot to explain! So guess where I'm headed in two short years??? You got it. Victoria, to get my diploma. I mean why not? I only have to do one more year of school, but I will be twice as hireable....and I get to live on Victoria Island. With an employment rate of 98% the college would get me a good job. But think how high my odds would be if I got a diploma too! So tack on another year of school, but get me on the fast track to fabulous Journalist!
PS my picture up there is a picture of one of the buildings on the campus....they all look like that!

2. on the second day of school GBF (gay best friend--BRog) added another person to our group! So with open arms I welcome Bri to my blog! We are all really great friends. We all clicked so well. I can't even believe it. And even though Bri and BRog will be leaving me in second year for ad PR, at least we have first year! Next week we plan to go to a hypnosis seminar and a gay film festival together (It's just films made by local gay people). I am super excited, Bri and I are going along to approve some cute boys for BRog. And you know obviously not get any for us! 

3. Apperently the second years in our program want to be the coolest second years around. A girl stops us in the hall today.
"Are you guys first years?"
"Yes......." we all replied
"Great! We are having a kegger at my house next weekend, and we want to be the best second years ever!! So you are all totally invited!" then she bounced off down the hall.
I looked a BRog he looked at me we both look at Bri........"Let's never be that happy in our second year guys." I said. They nodded and we carried on with our lives.
Wow.....talk about energy.

4. Things have gotten increasingly worse with Kam. Hence the blood part of my title today. I don't really feel like giving you a play by play. Mostly because it happened after I had been woken up at one in the morning, so I was still kind of a sleep. But as LeahN recalled to me this morning. She was scared; she didn't know people could be that mad. So I think it was pretty bad. But I remember it going well! lol. Mostly I told Kam to screw off and stop talking about me.....I think there was way more profanity in it though. I talked to the Landlords today; they said they noticed a change in her. They thought she was getting back into things she shouldn't be. I wonder if she knows how apparent she is. They are going to talk to her. But for now its icy looks and silent days.......to bad its not silent nights!

5. I got the most beautiful camera today. For my program I needed to get one of those insanely over priced cameras. You know the one I'm talking about? I got a Canon Rebel xs silver. When I told BRog about it he started singing "Rebel yell". So I won't judge you if you are too. lol. It took me a while to figure it out.....but it didn't take me long to fall in love. I took one picture and saw how good it was compared to my other digital camera, and that was it. I am in deep! The nice thing is that my other camera is also a Canon. So I don't have to buy a memory card.....I already had one I could use. I just need a lens filter and a case for it and I will be ready to take some hard hitting pictures!
