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

mi new macbook

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.....

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 =).

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

Micheal Gee..#12 on the ice, but #1 in my heart

July 27th 1989- April 8th 2005

Perfect is an underestimate.. i still wish i could understand why someone dicided you needed to be taken so soon. I truly was touched by an angel. the good die young but only the best die younger. Youd do anything from brushing your teeth on webcam to dressing up in a pig costume to get the one reaction you loved, a smile from someone you cared about. I keep on remembering how i could always count on you to make me feel better and how you were the only guy I count always count on to bring a smile back onto my face. I keep telling myself that your still gonna be here and i'll still see you again, which someday i know i will. A lot of time has passed, but for me and many other this is this the hardest memory we hold on to, and i want you to know, were trying our hardest to keep smiling, (especailly me) because we know if you were here that is what you would want. I still think about you every day, and the little things still remind me of you. I need you more then ever right now.. seriously i do. You were the only person I know I could talk to about everything. Guy situations are as messy as always, and your advice was the only thing that ever worked.I feel like im falling apart but then i remember you taught me unbeleivable amounts in the times that we had and it’s the traits that your potrayed give me something to live for. Its people like you that makes me believe I can always be a better person then I already am. School is busy, as is work, and i'm doing very well in both, but sometimes it's hard to stay motivated knowing that I wont be able to come home and tell you about it.

Mikey, you touched so many people, and every where I go someone knew you. There is still so much orange out there, and everytime i see it it warms my heart up a little bit. So much has happened in the past few years and its still frusterating to me because there isn’t many people that know what it feels like to loose your everything. and there is still alot of times where you are the only person i want to talk to. Calling you my best frined is only the beginning becuase you always understood me no matter what & you were always there for me. you were never pushy with me, you always gave me time and space and then advice at the right times. When i cried you listened and when I smiled it was because of you. For all the times I was upset with the world and with life and you pulled me through it all. You were the only person I could really trust. All the times I called you upset about something and you just let me unload it all and talked when i needed it and kept quiet when i didn't. We could talk about anything for forever because we were just us. I will never forget all the secrets we shared with each other. To this day you are still the only person who opened up my eyes to a whole world i didn't even know existed. Without you i would know so little, and i give you so much credit becuase you taught me almost every life lesson i know. you taught me how to be real. Sometimes when im really down, and can't figure out if it's even worth it, i remember you there always pulling me out of my hole and brushing me off, but most importantly you letting me fight my own battles, which im still very good at today.

You know me, sometimes i'm trouble, and i dont think i will ever find another person who never gets mad at me, and never lets me fall asleep without knowing they love me. When i feel broken and used and misunderstood, i picture you are there standing beside me and now as the little voice in my head. Thank you, for being the friend who walked in when the rest of the world walked out, for not giving up on me, for not leaving even when i tried to push you away & for always being there no matter how difficult it was for you to be.

you've given me my wings and taught me to fly.

i love you & miss you sooo much! rest in peace mikey.

keep showing heaven what it really means to be an angel

&

don't stop showing them the heart you have for hockey babe.

you truly are, and always will be my inspiration.
Mike, I still miss you more than you'll ever know.

Let your smile shine on forever.

i truly can not believe it has been 1 2 3 4 years.

not a day goes by geebaby... not a day goes by.

just be.
