water usage during the Olympic Hockey Gold Medal game was recorded, and to the surprise of no one, Canadian citizens didn¹t use the restroom until the intermissions. Check out this graph as proof:

HAHAHAHA

always in my heart.

2010-03-04T11:36:00.000-08:00

Such a hard time, so much heartache, that aches very differently this time. Nothing makes sense, and nothing seems fair. The only thing i know for sure, is that there is so much infinite love for you all, and you will always be in my heart. Everyone is going to be together again soon in just a few hours, and although the reason for the reuniting is not the greatest.. there is no bond stronger than friendship, and having everyone here will only ease the pain!

Life is a journey constantly turning, down an unknown path, but its not supposed to go like that...

i LOVE tiny things.. they make me so happy, i have no idea why but things that are miniature put and instant smile on my face, so as im sure you could of guessed- these necklace pendants had exactly that effect!

no boys but these boys!

2010-01-28T21:37:00.000-08:00

oh my gosh! especially lately nothing has made me more crazy than boys! i donno what it is about them, but man i am not down at alllll. it seems like the more boys i meet the worse their attitudes get, and i wish for once guys wouldn't be so derogatory and disgusting in what appears to be their attempt at flirting!!!

anyways, i am perfectly content with being single right now, even though proposals on teen mom do make me feel a little lonely, and i plan to keep it this way for a while because

boys are a huge waste of time
and i haven't met - Ben, Duncan, Dave or Jonnie yet, which brings me to my next point...

Until now i have loved reality TV for the rediculous-ness and drama, but on January 19th, that all changed, when the show The Buried Life aired for the first time! this is honestly the cutest show i have ever seen in my life, and i find myself more excited then ever for monday nights! these boys have the biggest hearts and are absolutely hilarious- Girls AND Boys tune in monday nights on MTV, and you are sure to fall in love!

look at the size of that rock!

so... you all know me, and my obsession with reality TV.. but after literally watching the Living on the Edge season 2, ohh i donno... 15+ times, i needed something new. I already have the PVR set to record all my garbage MTV reality junk weekly, but i needed something new to watch in bed before i fall asleep at night.. and that is why i am going to share with you, my new favorite show..

.. its called NYC Prep.. and it is about a group of freshman kids, who live on the Upper Eastside, and its kind of like gossip girl meets laguna beach. The show follows these kids and the prestige events they attend, along with the never ending drama that comes along when private school kids, are introduced to public school kids.

its a good watch! Check it out on itunes or bravotv.com

insomnia is my least favourite..

2010-01-24T03:51:00.000-08:00

bleh, so i know i'm far from the first to post about these, but i seriously still think this might be the only thing that could possibly help me sleep.. i don't know what it is, but my insomnia has been worse than usual and it's exactly the wrong time for that.. I just recently got a new pillow top mattress cover type thing and let me tell you.. feeling like you are sleeping on a cloud helps A LOT, but i still find myself watching the clock go by minute by minute, and if i do fall asleep, its only an hour or two before i'm wide awake again with some kind of weird/scary nightmare... so i'm on the hunt to find myself a set of Storybook Sheets... its my last resort kids, im desprate here... and still wide awake.... it's almost 4 am.

ever since i can remember i have been a true Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fan, from full house days to fashion icons, my obsession with them really has never faded away.. but lately it has really transformed into something i would say is almost over the top hahaha.. about a month ago, my dad had a MKA spotting in NYC.. i actually died when i heard this, and started reading about what they have been up to, since they have been relatively invisible in the tabloid world lately.. and now i honestly spend all day in class looking at blogs full of pictures of them, honestly all i have to say is .... they are SO cool. gahhh i actually cant stop.

after a rather eventful night last night, i wasn't really feeling doing anything too exciting, sometimes its nice to just spend you're day pretty low key for a change... cue Saturday;my good friend Hillary is back in town, & we spent our day doing absolutely nothing other then eating ice cream, watching MTV, and taking excessive amounts of webcam pics (how jr. high) .... perfect.

okay okay.. so i know i promised my new years resolution was going to involve more blogging, and i know that todays date is January twenty-something, meaning i am almost a month late with starting this blog again... but i think in all fairness i have a decent excuse. *like always*... i was away until the 6th, and after only a few days of being back, the news of the passing of a close friend kinda put everything in halt, school started that monday and to be honesty that whole week was pretty hazy. All of the weekly meetings and activities started back up, and trying to make time for friends that i didn't see over the break due to being away kept me busy this past week, & now here we are...

i have recently had some people tell me that they don't bother checking this page anymore because of its lack of updates, which is actually quite heartbreaking! sorry guys, i think this time i'm back for real.... i'm looking into getting a new camera which cou

ld potentially make that girl a heck of a lot more personal, as well as interesting.. anyways this is me sitting here rambling about nothing so a month late - Happy New Year.. and i hope to see you all reading regularly again soon.

with love, THAT GIRL

pie in a cup

2009-09-25T00:06:00.000-07:00

today i went to starbucks.. just like i do every single day and i decided i want to spice things up.. so i added pumpkin spice to my tea misto... it honestly tased exactly what it tastes like when you eat a bite of pumpkin pie! yum-o! mad props to me for creating something delish!

also, this comic makes me laugh:

i only have 2 other things to say.....

1. i am very stressed out already. hopefully after this paper is handed in things will head in a less stressful direction

2. blogging is hard on a mac or just very different.. i need to get used to it, and since i SUCK at updates lately, i really haven't had a chance to teach myself... i will learn i promise, as soon as school chills out a little, if school ever chills out a little...

ok ok one more..

3. i neeed to sleep.. and my newly invented delicious drink has caffeine.. and that makes sleeping hard.... GOODNIGHT

no one makes me laugh like you do...

lets think about seeds.

2009-09-12T16:46:00.000-07:00

this topic makes me think very hard.. and wonder a lot too!

SEEDS- every where you look there is articles or health news reporting how great seeds are for you. and how they are a necessary part of every ones diet. which is fine, and great because i love seeds ( NOT POPPY SEEDS SINCE THEY KILL ME) but i'm fine with every other kind of seed... but what i would like to know is..

when you eat a slice of SUPER HEALTHY FLAX AND MULTI SEED BREAD.. that's filled with soo many whole seeds every bite... how exactly are they doing anything positive for your body when they are not digested but simply .. escape, if you will.. your body in the exact same form..

i just don't get what could possibly be so nutritious about something that literally just moves through your body in one state... anyways like i said i don't mind eating seeds at all, so i will if they do actually make me healthy i just wanna know WHY/HOW!

3-D - YOU AINT

2009-09-12T16:05:00.001-07:00

okkkk so here is a tiny rant from yours truly...

3D movies.. a cool idea- saw polar express in 3D a few years ago and have never loved anything more haha, the final destination movie- also kind of a cool idea for the last one... but the fact that LITERALLY every movie that comes out seems to have a 3D option is getting a little tiring- when i go to the video store i want to take home a movie and possibly snacks NOT 5 pairs of 3D glasses so everyone can enjoy the film... i rented Coraline last weekend, and i loved it, but the fact that the start menu was asking me to choose the 'dimension i wished to view the film' really threw me off.. it is definitely something cool that adds a little excitement, but as far as im concerned it should stay in shows/rides at Disneyland and stick to only a few occasional movies..

3D movies- YOU AINT

that is all.

oh yea i forgot... Coraline was soooo good, i loved it alot, and will most likely purchase it!

mi new macbook

2009-09-12T15:49:00.000-07:00

ahhhh thanks to a significant milestone birthday that i just had- mom and dad decided to be extra generous by paying for 1/2 of the laptop i've been saving for! i knew i wanted a mac book, and i knew i liked the look of the white ones (original mac books) better than the looks of the new mac book pros.. but i had heard rumours that the software and memory and all that stuff was better on the newer ones.. SO since i ~~always~~ almost always get what i want i decided to create my own exactly the way i liked it! so i customised the hard drive, memory, and all the parts to make the INSIDE identical to the newer/better mac books, but with the look of the old one! i wasn't a very vivid mac use before this purchase, but after just a week i have gotten the hang of it, and love it more every time i use it! thanksss M&D! love youuuu

speaking of mac book customizations.....

so, summer is finally winding down, and school starts (for me) in 2 days.. and as weird as it is to say it, i'm kind of excited to go back! mostly just because it's been so long since i have seen everyone, but also because considering September is already half over, it just seems about right to be back into a more structured schedule.. that just so happens to go hand and hand with beautiful leave colours and new drinks @ starbucks...

it really feels like fall is in the air, and im very excited to "embrace" autumn. last fall was so much fun and i am thinking this one is going to be even better! i have a few things in the near future to look forward too! all hopefully before snow hits the ground-- also before snow hits the ground i need to buy a new pair of uggs as well as a new winter coat!!

more updates about me will be up sooon either here or on just be
and a few more other posts are on their way momentarily

2009-09-12T13:40:00.000-07:00

so my blog was down for updates..
and i thought long and hard about some crazy cool template i could make, but then, instead i decided to just covert back to the most basic i could - black and white.. and even the most generic font- Arial.. kinda boring i know but ehh at least it'll make my posts seem more exciting?.. rightttt haha

ENJOY & sorry for such a long wait for virtually nothing

Don’t Miss The Last Drop!

2009-08-23T12:27:00.000-07:00

this is actually the best invention i have seen in a very long time! i hate when there is that last bit of shampoo that you cant quite get out. so you place all the bottles upside down, or try to move the little straw from the pump into just the right spot.. or even add a little water to squish it around- all very ineffective! hence this:

The Last Drop is a special designed container proposed by Seon-Keun Park and Jin-Sun Park.The Last Drop is design friendly, enviromentally and user friendly. It’s transparent, you can see just how much product you have left and it has a specially designed bottom so every drop of product can be pumped out.i neeeed this! so so so smart! and soo simple! its about time someone figured this out!

concept cell phone meets window..

2009-08-23T11:55:00.000-07:00

During the idea 2009 competition designer Seunghan Song has taken the ideas of a cellphone, the weather, and a window and literally mashed them all together to get something like this...

the screen virtually changes according to the weather for cast that day. clear on a sunny day, wet on a rainy one, and a fogged glow if there is snow in the forecast.

the only thing that can change your phone is the weather..

very creative invention, but i think i would only like it on sunny days? the rest looks hard to read..

where is that girl!?

2009-08-23T11:43:00.000-07:00

ahhh i know i keep saying how im going to stay up to date with my blogging...

blogging + summer = proven to be very difficult!

not only am i not blogging as much as i would like to, but i hardly ever use the computer- possibly because my laptop is broken (im getting a new mac book though!) or possibly just because there is so many better things to be doing during summer than anything computer related! that being said, sadly summer is winding down to an end, meaning once school starts i know i will be back full force since i obviously NEED some kind of distractions to steal my attention during class! anywaysss i have a few cool new stories to post for you! as well as some personal updates via- just be.

enjoy the last little handful of summer! its ending wayyy to fast..

Young American mom named Alicia Lynn Carrier, discovered the package of frozen broccoli, brand Cascadian Farm, had replaced a few heads of green with smiling faces of children.

She wrote a blog and article about this, and Cascadian Farm was asked if they wished to comment on this. The customer service has responded that it was a tradition for 12 years of "hiding" the family members and friends of the farm on the packaging, just the way the game "Where's Waldo" .

Another example of the same strange mark is on their jar of grape jam:

haha this is so bizarre, and somewhat creepy but also funny at the same time!

The concept is that this represents a stream of consciousness. The oil is a metaphor for information. The right kind of information can fuel, ignite and feed the human mind, life, and art. The letters that ‘flow’ out may just look like a flow of oil from a distance but on closer inspection form words and sentences, quotes and thoughts that allow the observer the opportunity to look at things from a different point of view,or simply evoke an emotional response. - very deep. i like that!

"I was shooting stills of models with long tongues swirling and sucking bakery products from under a pane of glass. I wanted to make enamel paintings along the idea of 'painting with my tongue'. My makeup artist shot some short videos during the shoot just to see how it would look. The low definition videos looked so good that we made plans to do a professional high definition video. This made sense to me as I have made both billboards and produced a commercial advertising a painting show in 1989. » – Marilyn Minter

Knit the city continues its journey!

2009-08-02T13:26:00.000-07:00

Urban knitting continues to create new fans ... a phone booth, a barrier, poles or monuments, tribes of flower budding knitters around the world. Knit the city, one of the best known, added to their collection by placing style over a fence in the city center of London ... I love this! A LOT.

braided hair, leaves and buttons

2009-07-27T13:00:00.000-07:00

lately there are three new things i have strated to really love and possibly slightly overuse-- the first being braided hair and the second being leaves... the past few weeks i have worn some type of briads in my hair- whether it be braided bangs, tiny braids through-out curls-, or just simply a braided rope - almost everyday! there is somethings so pretty and natural about braids and i just love em! speaking of natural things that i love- the next is leaves... i have found a few leave neckalce pendants around that i love so much and have also found a few more than i plan on ordering very soooon! via etsy ( it will be the death of my every paycheque i swear)

heres a sneak peak:

ah yay so excited!

the last thing on my list that excites me so too much lately is buttons! i dont know why but i have always loved them! and found them so cutee and i recently took my love for them to a new level by making a few pairs of earings out of them! how creative =P! haha-pictures later

thats all for nowww

p.s. have you been reading just be ?

it's true! that's what it means

updates

2009-07-26T11:47:00.000-07:00

well... here i am - my excessively long lived hiatus has come to an end & i've tried to turn a few new leaves over in my life. with some help from a special someone i realised this summer was the perfect time to discover a new passion.. or at least find a couple new hobbies. the -much-to-long-before-mid-more-like-a-quarter-life-crisis that i feel like i have been trapped in for way to long may have finally come to an end.

Even though there have been a few downfalls or disappointments, i can say over all within the last few months i have been able to experience great joy warmth and zeal from my new found interests. Before school ended, starting this blog was one thing that kept me excited and every spare moment of time i had occupied, and i still find happiness in blogging.. in fact i am trying to tame the hullabaloo i have inside about the much or not so much anticipated up and running of just be. but more about that later...

I purchased a guitar... (ok two guitars) at the start of this month and thanks to my extremely talented guitar playing buddie- i have learned a few things. the most challenging thing being that i quite possibly have the worlds smallest hands for am almost 20-year old girl ever, and that tiny physical characteristic makes learning the acoustic guitar just that much more tricky to master. I also made a trip up to edmonton earlier this month and among many other things i purchased a fisheye camera from urban outfitters. i think the fact that it takes regular film that needs to be developed, and that it is not digital makes me love it that much more as the anticipation and excitement of waiting to see what your pictures look like is a feeling i haven't felt since.. well, since digital cameras made an entrance. i have asked the parental units for a d-slr camera, or money towards one, for my big MILESTONE BIRTHDAY that's coming up in just over a month! and i look forward to take a photography night class in the fall.

As you may, or may not know.. the third out of old character but fits with my new character thing i decided to do this summer was to get the tattoo on my foot i have wanted for so long but just didn't have the time/money.. ok. GUTS to do it. Well i did, and much like other obscure things i have decided to try in the past things went awry.. or slightly at least. i have the words just be. tattooed on my right foot, and will for the rest of my life, but unfortunately due to a blow out.. along with those words is the effect that looks almost like a shadow or a blur around the word just.. this definitely was not the plan but unfortunately it can not be helped. i may get my tattoo re-touched and attempt to fix this irreversible error later on.. but for now its there just the way it is... and although slightly upsetting and very unexpected i guess if i truly live by the meaning of just be then i have to let it be and love it for how/what it is.. it is far from the worst that could of happened and to an untold eye is almost un-noticeable. so i guess just be.. which leads me to my last point

just be is a blog that i have been wanting to launch for a while. i have had some readers tell me they love this blog but want something with more substance and emotion. which is understandable as this blog typically features many photos and not so many words. just be. is a blog that will stem out from this one kind of like a different branch of myself. i will try to share the more emotional and verbal sides of the things that inspire me.. or the emotions that i way to often keep bottled up inside.. hopefully you have a chance to check it out and will enjoy reading it as much as i enjoy writing it. click the picture below to go there now...If you read this entire page of rambles you deserve a GIANT pat on the back or hug or something! haha and you now also know some things you probably didn't know about that-girl before! Along with this longgg update and the launch of just be. i decided it was time to design a new that-girl banner as well! enjoy =).

Barbie meets Football

2009-07-05T14:58:00.000-07:00

Combining the two very stereotypical worlds of Barbie girls and football boys is reflected in the design of French designer Chloe Ruchon. She created the first "Barbie Foot" [a Foosball table user barbies as players] and has just presented it to the Festival DMY Berlin design. Although the idea may seem a little off side i love every bit of it and find it quite funny and very creative!

Better Off Dead

2009-07-05T14:36:00.000-07:00

Just a few pieces of "Jacob The Murderer" trademark collection "Better off Dead". He has enjoyed the trashing logos of luxury brands.. which would go perfectly with the the Hello Drama Jewelry Collection...

music & me

2009-07-05T12:32:00.000-07:00

lately i have found a whole heck load of old burnt CD's and i forgot how good music used to be! there are a few local artist and underground writers that have come up with some gooooood stuff, but i remember the days were i loved every song on the radio.. and now im only a fan of maybe 1 or 2...i mean i guess maybe my taste in music has matured and grew away from 'top 40' haha but either way its WEAKKKKKKKKKKKKK.. goooood thing i've got my own guitar now so i can start producing some goood sh*t..

hahahahaha

summer 2009

2009-07-04T12:40:00.000-07:00

Dear Readers ( if you still exist);

How the heck have you been! awesome i hope! I'm so sorry that my blog has literally came to a complete halt.. summer is seriously just such a crazy time. the weather has been decent, some amazing some not so much but over all decent, and even when it wasn't so great i have just been spending time with a lot of people i haven't seen for a while. Summer always feels like the perfect time to reconnect with old relationships that faded out and slipped away during a hectic school year. Anyways- i can't promise that my blogging will be back to the same level right away as realistically i probably wont be using the computer much until school starts.. but until that time i hope to be able to be posting a few inspiring tidbits here and there!

Enjoy Summer '09- its flying by.

Final Destination- Real life...

2009-06-14T16:25:00.000-07:00

The one woman who missed the Flight 447 has been killed in car crash...

An Italian woman who arrived late for the Air France plane flight that crashed in the Atlantic last week has been killed in a car accident. Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from Bolzano-Bozen province, had been on holiday in Brazil with her husband Kurt and missed Air France Flight 447 after turning up late at Rio de Janeiro airport on May 31.

All 228 people that WERE aboard lost their lives after the plane crashed into the Atlantic four hours into its flight to Paris.

ahhh seriously so creepy! just like the final destination movies... i dont like this =(
