Autumn AF

Hello Lovelies!!

I think that is is unnecessary  for me to say its been a while since my last post and we should all accept that I will probably never have a schedule especially now that I'm at College. But as one of my idols Grace Helbig always says 'Keep your expectations low!" 


Now as Autumn has wistfully begun I have been a bit giddy because it is and always has been my favourite season. I loved raking leaves with my Dad only to jump in the piles and bury myself underneath them. Getting my green sweater, purple corduroys, and finger mittens out, and being the most rad looking kid you ever did see (pigtails with baubles and all). In 5th grade french class we did a project on our favourite season and i remember 90% of the class did Summer and Winter, a couple did Spring and I was the ONLY kid who did autumn. We had to write a bunch sentences on a poster about why it was our favourite, in french. Most kids said summer break, Christmas break, or that their birthday was in that season, and no one got why I liked Autumn or why i called it 'Autumn' for that matter. Shithead kids would say "Fall sucks, it's cold, and rainy and gross" and I would say  "Nuh uhh!! AUTUMN is cozy, and there's Halloween, and I like rain you can slash in puddles or stay inside and play board games!" but no kid got it, after a while i was fed up with dumb questions and my hand started to hurt because in french Autumn is L'automne and i had to hand write that more then 20 times. In the end I had the best freaking poster ever because I took it home and my mom drew some bad ass leafs on that thing! 


Long story short I'm fucking stoked to get into the full swing of Autumn; big ol' sweaters, freaking booots, GOT damn blankets and movies, socks for days, not shaving my legs until May, Hocus mother fuckin' Pocus, and of course the classic #PSL** YAAAASSSS QUEEEENNNNNNNNNNN WEERRRRRRKKKK!!!!!! lol jk I hate pumpkin with a fiery passion. 

**#PSL = is short for Starbucks' iconic and much white gurl AF Pumpkin Spice Latte


Toodles!!

Hello Lovelies!!

My summer has been pretty lame so far, I have been working but my job only does half days. So my days have consisted of sleeping too much, and watching YouTube and Netflix like they're going out of style. I have seen my friends a few times and they were fuckin' rad but few. Now last summer my mum loved going to the beach at 5 am to watch the sun rise and let the dogs swim and the first couple times I hated it, around the 4th time we did this I loved it, I swam an ran around with the dogs and we would get breakfast on the way home at this amazing old diner. Yesterday morning me and my mum went for the first time this summer and I had a blast. I convinced my mum the night before, woke up at 4:45 am, put on my bathing suit and a sweater, made coffee and we went!

Opposites Attract.

Hello All!

I have endured a few physical injuries since my last post; I stepped in a grass covered hole and twisted my ankle pretty bad, because I had to keep it elevated to ice it and our couch isn't very nice my back seized up and I couldn't really bend forwards or backwards, and then a few days ago after I was finally feeling better from all that rubbish I fell off my freaking bike! I was on my way home from work and I thought I heard someone call my name after I turned back a cat raced in front of me, stopped right in my path and I braked really hard, the cat ran away and went flying over my handle bars. I'm fine just a few scrapes and bruises but I haven't had the best luck these past couple weeks. 

Anyways this post isn't about my clumsiness and pain, but about my final project from my Set Design class the project was to take a subject that we touched on during the production of the play and take it one step further, (ex. sew a garment following a pattern step by step)I decided to do photography project half because I was the photographer for the Play that this class did the set for (http://ravenskky.weebly.com/home/shrek-the-musical-this-is-my-story). and half because I didn't really excel in any of the other aspects of the class like sewing or painting. I wanted to use my friends as models because they were very applicable, and incidentally I have fucking beautiful friends. I knew wanted a happy theme for my project and something I could relate to my personal life at the same time, so I decided to base my piece very loosely 'opposites attract.' Me and my friends like different books, tv shows, movies, etc. but we're all so close it's kind of crazy. The tagline for my piece is "You'd be surprised how much you can have in common with someone completely different from you." I believe this wholeheartedly, in my piece Matthew is showing his love for fashion and how he isn't afraid to be his whole self , Kaylee loves the outdoors, nature and being happy, and Terri-Lynn loves music more then most things and loves being goofy. These are all traits known about each person but it's not something they scream from the mountain tops. But when they are together they can be all they want and need to be.

Shrek The Musical, This is My Story

Hello All!

It's been a while since you've heard from me but I have good reason. I was a co-stage manager and photographer for my high schools production of Shrek The Musical, and I've got to say that it was the most phenomenal experiences I have ever had. 

It's hard to explain if you haven't been part of a show before, and I wasn't even part of the cast but those assholes were like a family, especially after the first month-ish. There were struggles, and some of the best laughs I've ever had during that production. People say you get a kind of adrenalin after performing a show, well I think it's more intense when you're on the sidelines making everything run smoothly. It's more like a sense of pride because you helped mold the show into what everyone gets to see, and that sense of pride is blown to the max when you see all the actors run off stage after the curtain closes with giant smiles on their faces and you can see that they're proud of them selves and excited to do it again in the next night. I hope i get to help with more shows in the future, unfortunately they will not be with the same people because it is my last year at this school. I did have the most fun, and meet the best people who I will miss dearly. My only regret is not joining sooner.

Toodles!!

Friendship.

Ahoy!!

Today's post is about friends. I wrote a whole post about my experiences with a toxic friendship I was in, the whole story laid out plain and simple, but after writing it I realized that because I ended that friendship almost a year ago, I'm over it. That friendship lasted 4 and a half years, and after a messy ending I started to hangout with my now beloved friend group and I realized that I had never really experienced an actual friendship. I was treated really shitty by this girl but at the time I thought 'whatever shes all I got' but she wasn't, I thought that she was all I deserved but I was wrong

Now I have great friends we insult each other incessantly, we laugh, and we're all fucking weirdos but we're fucking weirdos together and I love them and I think the feelings are mutual. I changed a lot in the last 2 years, for the better in every way. I grew up inside and out and its mostly been because of my bitchin friends. I know it's the oldest saying in the book but it got better for me so why can't it get better for you to!!

Toodles!!

Remember When...

Salutations!!

As Winter has come and gone I've thought about my life right now; I'm finishing High School in June, going away to College, starting a whole new chapter blah blah blah all that scary shit, but right now I'm in a great place I have a great family, I have phenomenal friends and a cool job. I like where I am. 

Change can be terrifying, and painfully exciting. I always think to myself at the end of a really great day when I'm all tucked up in bed, Wow today was awesome we did so much stuff we had so much fun I spent too much money... and EVERY time I think about a great day I want to go back and live those great moments over and over again I want to relive the intense conversations, all the laughs, all the long car rides to nowhere, all the too loud and off key sing alongs, all the movies, all the shopping, all the eating, all the youthful joy that I spend with my friends and I know I'm only 19 and I haven't even lived half of my life yet but these are the only memories I have right now  I love living in the moment, and some people choose to only live in the moment but my favourite thing in the entire world to do is remember. 

I love reminiscing, I love anything nostalgic, I love talking about what I did last summer, I love the 'you had to be there's ', I love saying one word to a friend and laughing until I can't breathe because that one word holds so much meaning. Some people always look to the future and some people get annoyed with me because I say 'Remember when we, or Remember that time we.' I hope I never forget to or stop remembering because its the best feeling when I'm all tucked up in bed drifting off to sleep and then staying up for another hour just remembering the day. 

Toodles!!

Rosemary symbolizes Remembrance. 

P.S. I'm going to make this a new norm. When ever I do a sort of intense post I'll put the flower that symbolizes the main message of the post!!
