pie in a cup

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

where is that girl!?

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..

updates

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 =).

When I came across Alex Ostrowski’s portfolio I instantly wished I hadn’t. Not because it was bad, because it was life-changingly good and I had so much to do this morning- i was at work after all.

Do yourself a favour and take the time to look at everything on the site - it is one of the most inspiring collections of design work I have ever stumbled upon. srslyyyyy mad props! =)

i love when you find things like this that actually make you smile.

touched by words.

i've realised that lately my posts have been very long.. with extra pictures and very little text.. so! ive changed my layout to only 10 posts a page, to avoid constant scrolling...

also stay tuned for posts with hopefully more text.... becuase arent we all touched by words?

excetera;

If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this is useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned.

sorry for the not so inconvenient inconvenience...

so i understand that when an escalator breaks, it really shouldn't be THAT annoying because, OH! how convenient, it automatically turns into stairs. I’m sorry, call me lazy if you want, but when the escalator’s aren’t running, and i walk around the corner expecting to be automatically relocated to my 3rd floor classes with no effort at all, and then it turns out i have to walk up the stairs, it really throws off my day!
