Cortes!

First off, I would like to sincerely apologize for my lack up updates as of late! I just got a job on a lovely island a couple of hours away from my house, and I've been trying to figure out where I am going to stay or live or whatnot. It's been very hectic! I'm at a friend of a friend of mines, temporarily, and all I have to do is not make a mess and do his dishes. Pretty good deal, I think! Anyways, yeah, so I'm on this beautiful island off the coast of British Columbia. It's fairly small, and the people here are very friendly. Since the place I work at is at least a 20 minute drive away, I either have to haul ass bicycling or hitchhike, which isn't too bad. I might be bringing over a motorhome to live in, or I'll find a room or house to rent... either way, I'll find something. I'll probably only be here for the summer anyways! There's a community dance tonight, I might end up going and mingling, and I could bring my camera... Here's a link to my facebook album so far, and a couple pictures from my journey...

This is what happens when people sneak up on me with cameras. Not pretty. Hehe!

IT'S SO HOT OMGWTFBBQ...
I made a video. I don't know why, but it's always super fun for me to be able to put a voice to a face! So here's my voice! OH MY GOODNESS, do I really sounds like that? Odd...
So that's me. And scary eyeshadow. I didn't put on any mascara because I plan on going swimming in a bit, but.... oh god... wow. Haha! At least it kind of goes with my shirt... er... Yeah.
So what do you think? Would you be interested in more wonderful videos? Or should I just stick to writing?
And I know you can barely hear it, but the link to the dj set I'm listening to in the background is: W.A.X. - Earwax 2005
Enjoy, mis amigos! Have a wonderful day!
♥, MEeEee~
p.s. HAHAHAHAHAH OH MY GAWD I MAKE SOME HILARIOUS FACES....

mmm

It's so so so hot out! Finally, I'm so stoked. So, my lovelies, I just wanted to share some of my current favorite things with you! <3

• Bud Lite Lime - Usually I go for stronger beers, around 8%, so I can get wasted quicker and cheaper. But these, which my mommy actually discovered, are amazingly delicious. They're light tasting with a hint of lime, and they're perfect for relaxing in your yard with some tunes, friends and sunshine. Yumm. Refreshing without being too watery!

• Mat the Alien - One of my current favorite DJ's, Mat the Alien hails from Whistler, BC, which is surprisingly close to me. He's amazing, and mixes so many genres of music together into one giant muddle of awesome. There's dub step, drum and bass, different types of house, and even some oldies! You can listen to and download my favorite set here. It gets really bumpin after the first 20 minutes!

• My Gwen Stefani Perfume - Do you love coconut? I sure do. Which is why I am absolutely obsessed with this smell. It's sweet and summery with hints of "Mandarin, Coconut, Apple Skin, Jasmine Sambac, Freesia, Magnolia, Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood, and Cottonwoods." It's definitely divine, except after a long night of Malibu Coconut Rum shots. Then it makes me want to die. I paid $50 for one ounce at Shoppers, which is more than I'd usually pay for perfume, but it's worth it... I think? I could always just douse myself in Malibu...

• Cheap Flip-Flops - Seriously, it just wouldn't be my summer without them. Due to my disgusting lack of sandals (flats just don't cut it!), I dashed to my local Superstore and got a pair of olive green flip-flops for four dollars. Wow. At that price, I don't care that they're likely to break in about a month! I can just buy more! Oh goodie!

• Sushi- zomgyumyumyum. When it gets to be this warm out, I have no appetite whatsoever. It seems like all I can eat is potato salad and sushi (Which is fine by me!). In my town we have this great little place called Katie's Rice Box, where you can get fresh-made sushi by actual Japanese people for under five dollars... It's wonderful! I eat there all the time. My favorite things are Sunomono Salad (clear noodles in sweet rice vinegar with nori, cucumber & shrimp), BBQ Eel & Cucumber Roll, Inari (some sort of delicious rice-filled pouch) and to drink, Calpico (also I have no clue what it is, but it's delicious!)

And finally, I am super duper stoked that I finally got a new bike! Well, it's from the thrift store and looks like it's from the early 1980's, so it's not that new, but it's new to me... and I spray painted it today so it looks uber spiff! It's a "vintage" (aka. ancient) woman's Norco Bush Pilot and it was only ten dollars! All it needs is a bell and a new seat, and I'll be riding it all over town. Since I can't quite drive yet (SOON! I SWEAR!), any mode of self-transportation is welcome. Mmm.

I want to ride my bicycleeee, I want to ride my biiiike~
What are your favorite things this summer? I'd love to hear from you! ♥ Meeeee~

candy candy candy!

Mmmm! I spent all my change on candy... and I'm SO HAPPY! Hehe.
I just wanted to say that I found the coolest earrings ever at the thrift store. They don't really work in my ears well because I have 6g plugs, but I make them happen.


Pay phones?! Seriously!! I love them, and they make jingly noises when I walk, which is super cool. I wore them the other day on a walk around town running errands and picking flowers...I really liked my outfit. I felt sorta vintage/rockabilly or something, and the cool part is, the whole outfit was from thrift stores! (Except for the bandanna... "You can't be both crips and bloods, give me that! Yoink.) I also found a bunch of body jewellery in original packaging at the thrift store for really cheap! I got three new posts and a ball for my monroe, a metal ball for my navel and a whoooooole bunch of nose rings... my nose isn't pierced anymore but I want to get it re-done, and I have some friends who would probably appreciate some more jewellery!

Oh yeah! Another random thing - I was stranded downtown and went into a funky store and bought a bunch of semi-precious stones that are supposed to have healing properties. Tigers Eye for courage, Bloodstone for good circulation, Peridot for banning jealousy, and Smoky Quartz to fight depression. I'll let you know if I notice anything drastic happen ;)

Lovelovelove! Meeee~ ♥

nerdtastic!

So, I started my day with the brilliant idea to customize my messenger with sound clips from the n64 Legend of Zelda games... (having Navi shout "HEY!" whenever someone messages me is so cute haha, the item fanfare when someone signs in kind of gives me a heart attack though.) And, after a thorough conversation with my equally nerdy friend, I decided to dress like a Kokiri child today. That's one of the forest dwellers, for those non-Zelda obsessees. What I find silly is that all these things came out of my everyday wardrobe. Fantastic!

I also figured out what was up with my camera... I had accidentally changed all the settings to manual, whoops! Oh well, I might go on a forest adventure in a bit and take some better pictures. And, if you happen to dig Zelda as much as I do, then do I ever have something for you! A super sweet picture I found on deviantart earlier, which is now my desktop background. It's really well done, I think. Here's the link! Haha, personally I found it hilarious when I was browsing through Zelda themed pictures and I clicked "Open Link in New Tab"... 'cause Link's the main character... ohh my. :) Have a wonderful day! Love, meee~ ♥
P.s. YOU WISH YOU WERE THIS COOL...

recession/depression?

Well, I've definitely found the connection between those two words. My town has suffered hard from the economic recession, a once proud town based off natural resources forced to close down its mills and maybe mines? (I've been slacking on keeping up to date with the news, yikes.) Either way, it's been really difficult to find an entry-level job now, and lots of people are moving away to look for employment elsewhere. I, for one, have decided to stick it out in town looking for work a little bit longer... not to mention that I'm flat broke and couldn't leave this town even if I wanted to! Blegh! Thus, I am stuck in a very unwelcome spot... no job, no money to move out of my parents' pad, or get my license (not that I could anyways, I have an irrational fear of traffic, left turns, and driving examiners with sunglasses and beards), and no money for university. Not to mention, no money for fun summer road trips... I fear I'm being forced to sell my Shambhala ticket (WAAH!) so I can afford to keep paying my cell phone bill. Lame-OH!
So what in the hell does my money situation have to do with my blog, my dears?

Well! No money for me means no extravagant shopping sprees, or supa-cool new outfits, or lovely shoes... essentially, limited stuff to blog about. I could talk about how fun it is living without money... but that's lying, hahah. Besides, being jobless living with my mom just doesn't make for much excitement. Not to mention my recession-depression! When your day consists of eat, sleep, facebook, twitter, messenger and more eat, well, it gets to you. Especially when you're a socially awkward geek chick! Augh!

So I surmise that for you, my reader(s?) that this must have been a somewhat boring read. But, I figured getting what's in my head out was probably a good idea! And now you can understand why I fail miserably at regular, interesting updates. Excellent!

So, what did I do today? A whole lot of not much! I did kind of take some outfit pictures though, so here you go!

As you can see, I was using the fujifilm, but it was doing something funky... not automatically adjusting for lighting conditions or something. I tried editing them to bring them closer to normal, but a lot of the color was lost. For example, those plaid pants are bright red and black. They're pretty funky, remind me of a No Doubt-era Gwen Stefani, and I got them from a thrift store for five bucks! Mmmm. Deals. Actually, the butterfly belt came from a thrift store too... I think it was a dollar or something. I've actually seen quite a few of these belts in different colors, I may have to snatch them up. And the shirt, well, it's just one of those stretchy black tanks from Bootlegger. Nothing too special. Anyways, those pants are busy enough, I figure!

So, this concludes my blog post for today (tonight?). And I think it's due time for me to crawl into bed! Much love to everyone! ♥
