my god, it's beautiful!

Hi friends!

I've graduated! kinda fancy....

I will have photos from graduation coming soon. I think/hope Clayton's mom will send me some. I met his parents for the first time at the tulip ceremony. I think/hope they liked me. It was a very formal way to meet the fam' but I looked pretty and won an award so maybe it impressed them? haha

You know what is fun? Not having to worry about your photo entries bunging up someone's friend's list if you don't do an L-J cut....So here is a PHOTO BONANZA!!!!!



sittin' pretty



school friends...Fiona, myself and Mir on display for the world to awe at...



Let us out!!!!



Janelle, Manda, myself and Jo.

sigh...

I miss them already. Especially Manda. I love her and want to rescue her.



I fucking love this dog. I wish he could know how much I miss him and how scared I am to visit him because of a.) I am terrified he wont remember me and b.) I am terrified that he wont be in a good situation. They do the best they can over there but he needs love and consistency and fields to romp in.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU OLD FUCKING HAG!!



Dancing with Jo's mom (Ann) at her 60th birthday party...It was a fancy wine and cheese party and I got super wasted.

"I'm gonna go eat some carbohydrates because I've drinking for 6 hours" * imagine me saying/slurring that as knock over a bunch of shit while I stumble out of Jo's room

sometimes i get stuck in that dimple.....Or maybe just my thoughts do??

THINGS ARE GOOD.

(great even)


<3<3

Wanna go platinum?

I don't think I give a fuck that I have been partying so much. I don't have to feel bad about that because I am in transition and I am making up for lost time.

Besides, ITS A MOTHER FUCKING CELEBRATION, BITCHES!!

yeaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Tonight I had a delightful time with anne gale. I also had a great time in the sun on the patio. Tomorrow I will have a great time in the sun at school. Saturday I will have a great time in the sun outside of my work and again at school (maybe even on clayton's patio??) , and on Sunday I will have a great time in the sun walking to second cup to GET MY BIKE!! (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)


YO! The game was on the BET awards and I love him! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


I wish I was at school watching Marco be funny and Manda love it and Clayton be cute. What a god-damned champion...selling bowls like it aint' no thang....too bad textiles is a financial death trap

AH-HA!!!!!

i sound bitter, but i really do think it's funny. Maybe if I hadn't shared 2 bottles of wine with Anne it would be different??
OH WELL!


WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Protecting secret handshakes...

HI!

Mannnnnnn.

Things lately are sooo not what I am used to.

Going out with "school friends" to "wing night"??!
what the hell is THAT shit!?

haha FUN! THAT IS WHAT IT IS!!!!

Man, I am actually almost done-zo (my new phrase) my body of work for the Gladstone.

It is kind of sad actually...now I know why JC never wants to finish writing his epic novel, or album, or play...

because THEN WHAT!?

I bet I will cry soooo much at the tulip ceremony.
I don't want manda to go back to London!
I don't want Clayton to go back to Niagra!
I don't want to lose touch! We say we wont, but seriously...that is a hard thing to do.
No more studio visits, no more hallway run-ins, no more wing night!!

Why didn't any of these friendships happen sooner??

GEEZIE SNEEZIE.

I got my haircut today! It's no Alexis cut, but she did a great job maintaining the already established greatness that Alexis placed upon my little noggin'...

Oh, FYI.

I AM REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU ANGIE.

seriously!

that is sooooo wonderful!!!!

oh, FYI again.

ALEXIS. You are practically rich. time your annual toronto shopping trip for May 31st so you can come to my Grad exhibit and watch me sign a duet of "don't go breaking my heart" with a 41 year old Indian man who gets I.D'd at every bar because he is so ind and fresh-faced.

PLEAAAASEEEEE?

k thx!



yup.

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!

i've got a new "special someone" and he makes me really happy!!!!

Okay, so this is when I start to freak out...

HOLY SHIT.

I am actually finished school, AND GRADUATING, in a few weeks.
5 years, a lot of debt, amazing friends, and a education in "craft" later, I am embarking onto "real life".



This is scary.

REALLY scary.

In the words of moneen, aka best band ever, "Where do we go from here?"

Eeee.

You wanna know what started this freak-out today?
FUCKING FACEBOOK.
That website is ruining my life. First everyone having babies and husbands, and now having 108 confirmed guests to our grad exhibit only 3 days after posting the event.

Peers aside, these are all the people confirmed as attending that I know are going associated with seeing work that either Jo or myself made:

Rhiannon, Marissa, Colleen, Krissy Richards, Mike Mo, Ian, Adam Lap, Becky, Winston, Brianna, Spencer, Adam MacInnis.
Maybes from: Danyel, Elyse, Ian P., Charde, Nickie O, Cait, Asher, Ashley, Frank, Katie One-eye etc...

Although I was surprised to see some people who had declined for not-so-obvious reasons.

Anyways, I am sure there will be a lot more people there including my PARENTS (!!!) and possible other family!?!?

oh. my. god.

Anyways I bet I will barf that night. From a healthy combo of nerves and wine.

At least I'lll always have kareoke with Nari........

My actually have the worst hands/feet ever. Thank god I am not a celebrity because perez hilton would rip me to shreds with his superficial criticism which we all love so much.

school is rounding the bend. Chances are I wont be moving back to Halifax. Chances are I will become a bartender and never pay off my student loans, but whatever?

i guess?

At least I'll always have canada post and it's thrills.


oh! So i know this sounds like a bummer post but i'm not actually bummed, just busy. I am actually in the zone with my project and nervous about the other shit that is second priority. I like going to school though....there are cute things to see....




p.s.
I love getting cute text msgs.

p.p.s.
even though my ring broke, I am still engaged to manda. sorry dudes.
