What I like to get the value out of things....

I have done a few eventful things this week. I managed to finally get myself a new pair of sneakers. (these were like necessary). Forced by the fact, the sole in my flat was worn out the point I cut the bottom of my feet on the pavement it was time for a good pair of shoes.

...What I like to get the value out of things...

That's clearly a horrible picture. But you folks know what I'm getting at....maybe.

I also managed to design the craziest hipster outfit I could today, and I was FABULOUS!

No match? No problem! 

I struggle with my weight, and body shape. I have for most of my young life. Portia de Rossi the very stunning wife of comedian Ellen DeGeneres has a book called "Unbearable Lightness" a biography of her struggle with issue similar to mine. Upon discovering this, I immediately had to buy the book. 

Also today, I cooked chicken and watched Narnia! Because I could. 

What have you been up to?

Because they're meant to be that way.

It's been awhile since I've posted. For that, I apologize, life for me as you know can sometimes get a little complicated. Things are broken, mended and reestablished. In a matter of mere weeks. All the change just means you need to settle into things that are normal!

For example; I woke up recently, to discovered my nose piercing had completely grown over during the night. Fantastic! I realized that meant I was in for a painful visit to my local tattoo and piercing shop. To say the least, I do not wish to relive the horrifying popping experience I had, ever again.

However, my nose ring looks quite amazing.

Also, among other things I've done was update my iPhone. Though 2nd generation, my iPhone is old. I did upgrade to the newest version handed out by our friends at Apple.

It's a weird mix between Android and Apple. Faced with the problem of Android stocks rising they figured in order to maintain their customers base they better do an overhaul of their system. Which, I might add, has not been done, ever. I'm not the biggest fan of the new system. However; I'm warming up to it. Mostly because my iPhone is my first and only child and you will have to have blood running from your eyes before I'll ever switch.

I have since reconnected with some of my favorite places in the city. It's night to walk into the old coffee shops and be recognized as a "regular" whatever that term might entail. You can quietly sit with your favorite latte (currently, Pumpkin Spice from Starbucks!) and read the paper. And it's equivalent to a rocking Friday night. (for me, that is!)

After a long day of homework (I don't like to use that term mostly because I'm an adult in every other aspect of my life, and then bam, homework, I'm back in middle school) I like to sit down with some comfort food and of course a can (or two) of diet pepsi and watch one of my favorite shows.

A very concerning event happened upon my campus. A apparent gun-man showed up on my campus. Scary as it was, the situation was quickly resolved. And the investigation is on-going.

Here are some pictures; well, because I could. And I'm apparently more calm in the face of danger then I should be.

You often times will find comfort in the most wonderful of things. But surprisingly the things you never expect.

Like walks home at night.

Or raindrops on the roof of a car.

Or in taking silly pictures with someone you care about more then yourself.

I apologize for the lighting in these photos. 

You can make your life as happy as you want to be. And I've learned that recently. That, in time, you will grow away from your childish ways, you will learn that not everything in this world will be bad, and in time, things will come together - because they're meant to be that way.

Introducing Lindsay!

So last week was the first week of my second year of university. Last week I showed you all about my moving process and now my room; however, this week I'm introducing you to Lindsay.

We met in grade eight. And have been best friends ever since. Even though we have our fair share of rough times we have come through it, standing together.

On September 4th it was Lindsay's 19th birthday. So, I prepared her spaghetti supper and garlic bread.

As a gift I got her - The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks and a iPhone case she wanted. 

We both went home this weekend otherwise there would be more to post. However, this is only the beginning of what we'll see from Lindsay, and hey, I might even let her do a guest post.

We went to one of my favorite places. A froyo place called Menchies! It was so good.

And introducing Lindsay...

My world would not be the same without her! 

Who is the most important in your life?

Lets just say I locked this place tight.

Though my school week hasn't officially started I have been quite busy. My official move in day was Sunday, and that was a rough night. I spent in my apartment alone, as all other three roommates were either gone or not moved in.

Lets just say I locked this place tight. 

For an entire weekend my room was a pile of boxes and a new mattress that laid in plastic over the boxes. So messy was a good word. When I finally arrived on Sunday after noon, I started to unload a very large amount of stuff. Like literally, I have too much stuff. 

My room has finally started to come together. Posters and paintings included.

After a few days of spending time alone in the new apartment. I was reunited with my very close friends.

Vanessa, Kaden and Emma! It's been four months since we've seen each other. 

We spent the day running around looking for an open liquor store for a ceremonial bottle of wine - and grocery store to stock up on food for homemade enchiladas. Which where delicious, I might add.

And today, which happens to be Tuesday, my best friend Lindsay is returning to the city. She lives not far from my apartment. And this year we are hoping to go on many adventures throughout the city. Lindsay's birthday is tomorrow and we'll be having a home cooked meal at my place. After she has a dazzling day with friends.

So be watching for your introduction to Lindsay!


Good luck to all people returning to school this year!
