It's FINALLY Halloween

So today is officially HALLOWEEN! I'm pretty sure I've blogged something about Halloween for the last three weeks and now it is finally here. CRAZINESS!!! One of my professors handed out mini KitKat bars and was in costume..it was legit! But other than that, there hasn't been too much of a Halloween celebration today.

The sad thing is that my halloween has not been too eventful :( Over the weekend I went to one of my friend's houses and we watched halloween movies and ate a ton of candy but other than that I just did homework. Ughhhh. Study, study, study, study. I'm currently reading the Odyssey for my World Lit class which is surprisingly better than I had expected. It probably sounds nerdy but I'm excited to finish this book..just so that I can say that I read the Odyssey. I told my mom that I was planning on framing the Iliad and the Odyssey and have it as a memory that I was able to read through the books. However, she just laughed at me and told me I was weird. Maybe it's just me but they are hard books to read, so this is definitely my accomplishment for this year :p

This was a short blog but I really need to get back to reading this book haha. I'm thinking that for my next blog I'm going to write a poem of some sort...so get excited! (but not too excited because I'm not really good at creative things, but I thought it would be worth trying!)

Have an amazing week!!!

Late late late late post!!

Hi boys and girls!
I realize my blog day was friday, but I got caught up in a lot of things this weekend. Haha, I totally forgot! Oops.:S The Best part is that I reminded Evie on Thursday night, and I forgot to blog Friday. Bahaha short term memory? I think sooo. Haha. Anyway I had an exciting couple of nights! Haha, I went out Thursday, Friday, AND Saturday night! Holy cow! As my friend would say "I have turned into a party animal!"

We went out dancing on thursday and that was a blast! The only down side was some guy dumped half his beer down my side, but whatever. I got over it, and it dried quickly. Friday night, I helped my friend get ready for Rocky Horror Picture show, and did his corset up. What an interesting start of my friday night. Then we sat and talked the night away. Which was nice.=) And saturday was interesting. My friend had a house party, and I guess the people he didn't let in made a scene outside his house and Police were called. It was exciting. And guess who was suppose to oversee this party. Yours truly. Although I had left to go out to a bar I was suppose to go back to check on him. Although later I did end up calling him to make sure everything was ok. And it sort of was....a kicked in backdoor is about as bad as it got. Haha, his mom will hopefuly take the news well....=P

Anyway, needless to say it was an interesting weekend. Currently I am sitting in Math class, supposedly working on math homework...oh well.;P
Haha Anyway friends I must go! This time I will post on time on friday. Haha, So I will see you promptly on friday evening hopefully! Haha

Cheers!

- Mars. =D

Ps. Happy Halloween!! What is everyone dressing up as halloween?! =D

I came to Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance!!

Late post! You're not really surprised though are you? :P

Well I had a pretty exciting night last night! I went out to a bar with some friends (Mars included :D) and we danced the night away and it was fantastic!! I really love dancing - something I've realized the more I go out dancing with friends. It's like most of the time I'm super shy and awkward, and yes sometimes I can feel awkward while dancing too, but often if I just close my eyes and feel the heavy (and deafeningly loud) back beat I can just lose it and it feels so good! There's something about letting my body just bop and bump around to the music that feels awesome. Then again I usually can't totally lose it till I've had a few drinks :P Seriously you guys should try it sometime. And the nice thing about going out dancing is that it's dark and nobody cares if I look stupid dancing around - also I don't necessarily care either so there!
Anywho it was a fun-filled night with just a touch of major drama at the end to round things out, so all in all I would say it was a successful night :)

I have some more fun news - I finally found a sparkly top to pull of the Glitter Girl costume idea I had (I'm changing it from Glitter Queen cuz i dont really have a crown and also Glitter Girl sounds cool :P)! It's also purple which I though adds some real pizazz! I also bought some sparkly tights and some glitter for my face and some spray glitter for my hair. It's gonna be sweet.

So Halloween is this weekend! How exciting :D There were some plans to go out Saturday night but I'm kind of poor now, I've been spending a lot of money lately plus I just found out that I'm like way over on my cellphone bill so I have to pay my parents back for that :S So Saturday plans may change...But I'm still dressing up! And I'm also gonna dress up as a mobster on Monday, for our Halloween movie night - woohoo scary movies! I'm probs gonna be hiding behind the couch the whole night hahah :P Someone's gonna have to hold my hand!

Oh! Something out of the ordinary happened earlier this week, I went to check out the College Fair downtown. It's out of the ordinary because up until now I haven't felt any spark of interest about going back to school. I mean, I always knew I wanted to eventually but I took a second year off because I knew I wasn't ready for it yet. But then last weekend I was talking to Rae about school and she mentioned this fair. I think it was the combination of hearing about this film class she's taking and hearing about the decisions she's making about school sort of got me thinking about it again and I started getting curious about the programs offered at colleges and stuff. So I went to the fair imagining myself picking a part-time course I could take at a college in the city but I actually came out of it thinking that in my current mindset and knowing my current needs I'm much more likely to take a course at a University. The way my mom put it was, College is more about going to school for a specific career and coming out of it with a job lined up whereas University is a little more about exploring what you like, it's less hands on and you don't necessarily have a job lined up after. Like my sister just graduated University and isn't having the easiest time finding a job. So I'm thinking I'd like to try out some film courses at a University like one or two courses and then I'll see how that goes. I definitely don't want to overwhelm myself with school cuz that's how high school felt and it was awful :( Ima just take my time and find out what I want and like in school so that I start to actually enjoy it :) Like the film class I took in grade 12. Which is the reason I want to take another film course.

ANYwho, that's all the new stuff in my life for now! I'll let you guys know how my Halloween weekend goes and you'll have to update me on YOURS :P

Till next week (hopefully I'll actually make my Thursday post...)
Evie :)

ps. they played this at the bar last night and I ROCKED IT!!

Lameness

Yeah for technology, don't feel like going up to my room to type this and I need to take medicine in a little while so yeah...

Anyways I can't believe I'm finally done chemo! Easily one of the best moments of my life! Like I've said to some other people really words can not describe how I feel about finishing my chemo, it really is just awesome. I now have to start the radiation part of my treatment, but I get a break from the whole thing for a while.

Other then that nothing much is going on in my life, I've really just been chilling at home trying to stay on top of homework and getting better. Ach sorry this is post is lame and sorry that they've been lame but it's kinda how I feel about my life. Well not that it's lame just what I do is kinda lame, but I mean it's what I need to do now so it won't be lame.

Happy Early Halloween Everyone! May I suggest posting a pick of your costume? Obviously if you feel comfortable to share your picture on the Internet.

Ok that's it.

Miah

Maybe I should just switch to blogging wednesdays since that's all I do :P

I think this is the latest I've ever remembered that I forgot to blog. Yay setting new records!

Currently, I am studying physiology (bleh X1000) and eating curry chicken (yum yum yum). It's grey and horrible outside, so I'm going to stay inside tonight and just study study drink hot chocolate study!

Everyone who is taking this course is freaking out about the midterm, including me. So much to learn. So so much.

I've been neglecting Taekwondo to study, but I hope that won't negatively impact my performance at this weekend's qualifier in Rae's town. (And I also hope missing out on studying Saturday won't make me fail physiology and/or biochemistry.) Rae, did you know your town was hosting a TKD qualifier??

K speaking (constantly) of studying, I should get back to it!

Miss you guys. Sari, your talk of chocolate has given me a certain craving :P

Halloween Excitement!

Can you believe that Halloween is exactly ONE WEEK FROM TODAY?!?!? People always say that I'm too old for Halloween..but seriously, can anyone ever be too old for Halloween? Yeah, I didn't think so. I'm so excited :D

Over the weekend, my friends and I went out to buy our costumes for Halloween. We're going to be the Minions from Despicable Me. (Did I mention that last week?) Well, I'm pretty pumped. We bought overalls, yellow hoodies, and googles. I thought that the hardest thing would be finding overalls, but surprisingly that was the easiest part. A bunch of stores at the mall sold them. Isn't that weird?! When I was little I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE overalls, but right now I'm hoping that they do NOT come back in style because, quite frankly, I can't pull them off. Maybe it's also because I'm not used to wearing overalls and I've always just worn regular jeans? Idk...The hardest piece of our costume was actually finding the yellow sweaters. I guess bright yellow is not that popular of a colour in October? Who would've thought? haha

But after the long struggle, we managed to find them and I'm really hoping that this costume works out the way that I have it planned in my head...because usually what I envision is quite different from what actually happens :P

Also, my school has this really cool program where little kids in the neighborhood come trick-or-treating through our dorms. Our RA bought a ton of decorations and that's what I spent 2 hours of my night doing - decorating our hallway! There are garbage bags everywhere - covering every inch of the walls and ceiling, including the lights..so lets just say that our hallway is VERY dark and it slightly creeps me out to walk down it. There's also signs hanging everywhere that says BEWARE and there are cobwebs.

I bought some candy and chocolate to hand out to the kids but the problem is that I've been eating a lot of it. Let's just say that I bought all of my favourite chocolates and I'm pretty sure I've gained 10lbs in the last 2 days from eating these KitKats, M&M's, and Reese Pieces.

This trick-or-treating event is taking place on Wednesday and I'm slightly worried that I'll eat all of the candy myself before then :p But it's ok because I keep justifying my actions saying that I need chocolate to help me through my mid-terms.

Speaking of mid-terms, I have part of my World Literature exam tomorrow (just the paper) and the actual mid-term is on Thursday. And I'm not done that paper yet...can you say procrastination?

Well, I guess on that note, I better get going so that I can finish the paper and hopefully get some sleep tonight :)

Have an amazing Halloween and make sure to eat tons of CHOCOLATE & CANDY!!!!

Until next week,

Sari

Friday!!

Good evening ladies and gentleman!!
Its friday!! The last day of the week before the weekend...the nice sleep-in-days, or even laying in-bed until god knows when. You usually won't find me out and about until about 12ish.
But tomorrow, i will be getting up at 8:30am to go to the GYM. Yes ladies and gentlemen i said GYM. This is one of the only times you'll see me at the gym, and this is the first time I have gone in the past two years. Haha, it's been a loooong time. But now i might start going. Actually it's an interesting stoire of why i'm going to the gym.
Yesterday I got a call from the gym, and I had put my name in for a 7 day free trial (back on frosh week) and I guess they put all the names in a draw to win a VIP Membership to the gym, and they pulled my name out. I thought that this was pretty cool. And that this was the best thing that has happened to me all week.=D
Ha-ha currently I'm sitting on one of my really good friends couch, on my copmuter, watching Underworld on his TV, and he isn't even here. LOL, his mom and I are co-workers so its ok but it's kind of awkward....just a little...haha. Just thought I'd give you an update on my life....Haha.
Anyway my friends, I must go. Happy Friday, and have a great weekend!! I shall hope to see you here next week!=D

Dream of Californicatiooooonnn!

Well look at me blogging on time for once! Savour it people, this is a rare occasion indeed :P

So everyone is busy with midterms! That sucks :( I almost feel left out because I don't have school...but honestly I don't think I'd be able to handle the stress, it sounds intense. Good Luck to all you guys on whatever tests and projects and midterms you've got left!

My only exciting news this week is that I'm learning the rest of Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the guitar which we started last week but didn't go through all of it. So now I can veeeeerry slowly play it through - minus the solo :P And I'm also learning Sweet Child of Mine by Guns and Roses but like I don't know the picking or anything just the chords and some strumming but it's still nice to be able to play some familiar songs and stuff :) yay guitar!

Did a bit of Halloween shopping myself. I've actually gone like three separate times each with a different person, and I do have a costume - I'm gonna be a mobster and have a black blazer and a bowler hat and fake cigarettes and a cardboard tommy gun and everything! - but I got another idea it's just I can't find a sparkly dress or top to pull it off. I sort of have this thing for glitter and like sparkly makeup and stuff and so I was thinking why not just wear a bunch of glittery makeup and a sparkly dress and wear a little crown or something and call myself the Queen of Glitter? It's brilliant! Except I've actually looked just about everywhere and can't seem to find a super sparkly dress. It's weird when you think about it, where are all the sequined dresses and tops I always see when I'm NOT looking for them hiding? I mean, I did find some sequined jackets and tops that were pretty epic but they never fit right or they're waaay too expensive. SO, so far I'm still gonna be a mobster but I haven't quite given up on the Glitter Queen idea yet :P Actually the reason I was even thinking about using a different costume is because we're probs going dancing the sat night before Halloween and I'm not sure I want to be wearing a big jacket and bowler hat and be carrying my cardboard tommy gun around with me :P So the search for the sparkly top or dress continues!

I'll keep ya updated my friends!
Evie :)

LAST CHEMO TOMORROW!!!!!

TOMORROW IS MY LAT CHEMO SESSION!!!! ITS TOMORROW! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!!?! I CAN'T. Uch when this all started it seemed like the end would never come (and yes the final end did go through my mind as well) So needless to say I am so excited, not for my chemo but the end of my chemo because it sucks. Let me tell you. Now that its almost over I just want to party and get back to normal, but I mean I won't ever be normal. I'll have survived cancer at nineteen, that's not normal. I've been looking at a lot of statistics during all of this crap, and I learned that every year in Canada 178,000 people are diagnosed with cancer. Of those 178,000 people 6,500 are young adults (ages 18-39) and if my math is correct that's 3% or so. That's probably why the success rate for people diagnosed within this age range hasn't changed since the 70's, because we're only 3%. But with that being said I am for ever grateful to science and doctors for figuring out how to cure me. It just bothers me that nothings changed for forty years, that's all.

So my costume for Halloween... I have decided, I figured it out one night while falling asleep. I don't know if and when I'll be celebrating Halloween, so we shall see if this costume gets put to use. I mean I do plan on wearing it in a weekly photo (on my facebook I've been taking a picture of myself with a caption of the week previous, I take these pictures on Mondays and Halloween falls on a Monday this year so that works out nicely.) My costume is a secret, and will take some explaining but once its explained I think and hope people will laugh, cause I like humorous costumes.

Ok. That's it for this week.

Miah

I agree– better late than never!

Basically I'm out the door around 8 o'clock each morning, and today I wasn't back home until 11ish. Thus… late blog!

It's midterm time, which hasn't been so bad. So far I've done a biochemistry midterm and a genetics midterm. Genetics was pretty easy! However, I have yet to write the midterms for my two hardest courses, so I imagine that will be the real challenge. Gotta study hard. Gotta find the TIME to study hard. Sari, I feel for you in this time of busy-ness!

I haven't decided what to be for Halloween. I have a midterm on Halloween and another the next day, so it's possible I won't dress up (for the first time ever?) for the night of Halloween. Though I could throw together a quick something or other… I could definitely throw together a quick Martial Artist costume! (Low effort, but effective maybe.)

I'm going to bed now, but I actually have some physiology to do, so I've decided to do the physiology homework as I drift off to sleep. It's for a tutorial (for which we don't get marks), so I guess I can just do as much as I can for now.

Until next Tuesday,

Lee

Better Late Than Never!

Heyyy! So I'm a little late with the blogging...sorry! Let's just say this has been a really crazy week!

Over the weekend, my school had their Homecoming Football game. I seriously didn't even think that this type of thing existed! I thought it was just like a stereotypical thing that was always shown in movies. Well guess what? It's not. This game is basically the football game that takes place against our rival school and was actually a ton of fun to go to! Everyone got t-shirts to wear supporting our school and they had a tailgate party (where they hand out free hot dogs, pop, and popcorn). At the half-time, they had a ceremony for their Homecoming Kings, Queens, Princes & Princesses - Yes, they actually select students and crown them. How cool is that?! I totally felt like I was in the middle of a movie scene. It was awesome! After the game, they were supposed to have fireworks and I was really pumped for that. However, it was SOOO windy that they had to cancel them because apparently it would be a safety hazard? haha yeah. So, the football was actually really fun and we ended up demolishing the other team: 30 - 7...I guess overall you can say that that was a successful night :)

I seriously can't believe that today is only Monday..or I guess technically Tuesday now? Well I have a ton of homework, a presentation, and two tests this week, so I'm slightly freaking out. And by slightly, I mean A LOT! It's terrible!! But once this week is done, I'm so ready for the weekend. My roommates and are I going out to find Halloween costumes (we're going to be the minions from Despicable Me) which will be pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

That's all I have for now! I'll keep you updated next week on how my Halloween shopping goes :) What is everyone dressing up as for halloween this year?!

See you next Monday!

-Sari

Ohaiiii there!! =)

Hey there ladies and gents!:) This is my first time blogging so lets see how I do.
I am currently studying Hospitality, Tourism, and Leisure and hope to graduate in two years.:) This is my first year and it's quiet exciting. I have met a lot of new people, and hope to get to know them really well in the next two years.

I am also currently working at a daycare pretty much full time, on top of going to school. So it's pretty stressful taking care of 8 kids, all under the ages of 5, after going to school, for like 3 hours a day. Ha-ha. Although we did loose two kids last week when they moved away to Calgary. We'll all miss them like crazy but we (at the daycare) know that they'll come back and visit us when they come back.

Hmmm. What else can I say about myself....well, I love movies. Action and Adventure are pretty much my favourite. I can't watch Horror movies alone or pretty much anytime, or I will end up hiding behind a pillow or my hands if I can't find anything else. I have a lot of great friends, and I love them all dearly. Most of the time.;) I care for all of them a lot, and would do anything for them.

I also have a great family. There is My mother and father, my older brother and my younger brother, I'm the middle child. And also my new sister-in-law. Well new as in 3 years new.:) Everytime we have a family dinner, its great. So much laughing, and story telling happens around the dinner table. And never ask my father about Tom Thompson or you'll be sitting there for hours listening to how he was killed on the lake my cottage sits, and how his ghost shows up between July 7th and 14th looking for his killer, and how it was or wasn't a murder. Ha-ha, we all tease him about it, but it's a lot of fun when they come over.

But my very favourite passion is horseback riding. I am hoping to start to eventing next show season, in dressage, show jumping and cross country (XC). I have a great coach, who is going to help me get better, and help me get through all the 5a.m. wake up calls, or the late nights at the barn. She is actually an eventer as well, and she is fantastic. I have a lot of friends who i ride with as well, and we'll all be able to help encourage each other on.

Well, I think that's about it for me.=) I think I did a good job for my first blog. Don't you?:) Hopefully I'll see all you other bloggers, and passers by next week.

Till then, have a great week guys!

Re-introductions!

Whew!!
I have had a busy week - which is why I was not able to see Sari on Monday BUT I am here to say HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SARI!! So glad you're a part of the blog and looking forward to hearing all about your life at your faraway university :D

And now to re-introduce myself. Well I feel pretty different than I did when we first started this blog. In fact some of the biggest changes in my life have happened while I was part of this blog. I took last year off and this year so I am not currently in school; I work a little bit for a catering company but not very often so I don't count that as a real job :P I've also been taking therapy since last October and I have benefited more than I could ever explain. It's helped me in finding more of myself and helping me understand my needs and wants better - yay therapy!! So having said that lemme say a little bit about interests:
I would say my biggest passions in life are music and movies. One of the most exciting things in my life right now is that I'm taking guitar lessons! I absolutely love them, there's just something so satisfying about being able to play songs on the guitar. Plus my teacher is amazing and so chills. I also loooove to play the piano - but I'm no pro :P And MOVIES woah! Damn I love me ma movies :D I wouldn't call myself a movie buff because I don't necessarily watch all the classics, I just love watching movies. And I think it's so interesting to talk about movies with other people too. I've actually noticed more recently that I tend to get pretty animated when the subject of movies comes up in conversation. What can I say? They're just so kwl!
What else, what else...I took dance classes since I was young but stopped last year after high school. That's something else I love, dancing. Again, I'm no pro but you don't have to be to enjoy dancing right? It's all about how good it feels to bump around to the music :)
So I guess to finish off I'll say something about the future. I think that someday I'd like to go to school for something to do with film (hopefully I'll get to do something in music too :P) and who knows!? You may see my name in the credits of some amazing movie years from now...

Till next week!
<3 Evie :)

Eight Days!

Happy Birthday Sari!! It's crazy that we've known each other for 6 years! Do you remember our crazy Communications Technology class way back when in Grade 9? (I will always remember that waste of a period.)

So now onto my reintroduction.

Well lest start of with the thing that wasn't happening when we started this blog, I am currently battling cancer, with that being said I am 8 DAYS AWAY FROM MY LAST CHEMO!!!! So other then that the things you should know about me... well I am a Second Year Design, I've always been drawing for as long as I can remember so needless to say I am going to my dream school. I'm Jewish though questioning it all sometimes. I love love love musical theatre and hope that one day my designs cover Times Square. Hmm what other things, oh I am a Harry Potter dork and have met Daniel Radcliffe. I've also seen Anne Hathaway who is my favourite actress of all time, and I've seen and own most of her movies. I also really love Ellen DeGeneres, my parents and family doesn’t really get it but I swear her show has healing powers. I'm obsessed with the world of celebrity (can you tell), though I don't want to be one. And yeah oh I'm an apple nerd and really enjoying this blackberry break down as I update my phone :D

So yeah that’s me in a nutshell.

Though I do wanna touch on something. Like I mentioned I'm Jewish and we just celebrated the biggest Holidays of the year. And for the first time ever or at least that I can remember I didn’t go to shule, and I really did feel like I wasn’t celebrating the holidays. Like I knew they were happening and I did go to dinners but, I dunno felt odd.

Other then what I’ve written nothing much is going on in my life, just dealing with cancer, school and stuff.

I think that’ll be it. Hopefully this will post cause now there’s a red sentence yelling at me saying blogger is down.

Miah

Blame it on the painkillers?

Sorry, forgot to blog yesterday!

Happy birthday Sari and welcome to the team!! I hope you had a great time, and a pleasant drive back to school.

As it says in the friday question, it is now time to re-introduce myself.

I'm Lee and I blog on Tuesdays. Mostly.

I am a second-year university student studying human biology. It's difficult, but pretty interesting. Taking biology means I take courses like genetics, physiology, biochemistry… I also take philosophy, mostly as a change of pace!

My interests and hobbies are varied. I play piano and cello, though I haven't played cello in a few years now. I do Tae Kwon Do (that's my only sport!) and I just took up knitting. Fav foods are chocolate ice cream, cream of mushroom soup… But I especially love trying out new restaurants! Also, I'm lactose intolerant (and those two favourite foods I listed are chock-full of lactose!)

At this point I can't think of much else to say by way of introduction. But hopefully that gives a good overall picture.

Until next week,

Lee

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARI!!!!

Hey Sari,

First welcome to the blog.

Second Happy Birthday!!!!! We all hope you enjoyed your day and enjoyed a drink before heading back to Ohio.

From

LMEM

Hello!! :)

Hey! Not only is it my 19th birthday today, but also my first time blogging...so wish me luck! I go to school in Ohio and I'm majoring in Accounting & Finance. I guess you could say I'm a numbers person? haha I used to figure skate which I absolutely loved and I used to play the piano. I have one fish as a pet, but I love dogs and wish that I had one...but my dad is allergic :( Wow, I just realized that if I continued and said "I like long walks on the beach" then this introduction would totally sound like a biography on a dating website :p So, with that said, I'll talk about the weather now to avoid more of this awkward introduction. (Can you tell I'm bad at writing an introduction?!)

This weekend's weather has been absolutely PERFECT! Maybe I'm a little biased because Fall is my favourite season (*just a note, it's weird spelling favourite without a "u" because in the US a lot of their words don't have "u"...like color, honor, favorite, etc. so it just takes a while to remember how to properly spell the word, depending on where I am haha). Anyways, I love Fall weather so much because it's not too cold or too warm, so you can always wear sweaters and scarfs but not be dressed in a bijillion jackets trying to avoid hypothermia and its not too warm that you are still dying of heat while wearing shorts and a tank-top. In short, I love Fall clothing. I also love the changing of the leaves!!! Today I was driving over the Laird bridge and there are trees on both sides of the bridge. All of the trees had either red, yellow, or orange leaves and it was sooo picturesque.

Also, Fall reminds me of pumpkins and hot apple cider, which are two things that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I guess you can say that overall, I'm a pretty big supporter of the Fall season :p

I hope you enjoyed my first blog and hopefully I'll have some sort of interesting story to share next Monday!

-Sari :)

Last Friday Question

Ok, so gonna make this quick. Partially cause nothing exciting happened dans ma vie today so yeah...

Tis the last "friday" blog and last "friday question." Because starting Monday there will be new people and one of those people shall be b-logging on fridays.

So I guess for the questin of the week, why no introduce/re-introduce your self. Tell us what ever you want. Cool? Cool. So excited!!!

Miah

The Blog Survives!

So it's official we WILL keep blogging and we've added some new members to our blog too!! Hooray! That's exciting no?

It was a pretty big shock to lose Rae :( but I'm glad that it wasn't all bad and that it lead to something new and exciting!

Speaking of new and exciting I'm taking guitar lessons :) and they're totally awesome. It's so funny because my teacher is exactly what you'd imagine when you think guitar teacher - he's a fairly young guy who's pretty chills and I'm pretty sure he mentioned something about playing in a band :P Stereotypical but also awesome. I actually really like how relaxed he is about stuff and that he's all nice when my brother and I (cuz I'm taking the lessons with my bro) sound horrible and all he says is "good job guys, it's not gonna sound perfect right away" :P Yay for encouraging teachers!

So we're learning the song Wonderwall by Oasis and - fun fact! - on this internet forum thingy there was this list of people that people hate, like the one person in line who doesn't have exact change (dontcha hate that?) but the funny one was the douchbag in the corner at a party playing Wonderwall to anyone who will listen hahahha :P

Anywho, not too much else is new! Oh wait I'm going to my cottage this weekend! Gonna be super fun cuz theres not only the thanksgiving dinner but also a big birthday party on sat - yay!! :D

K well, I'm sorta busy right now sooooo till next week!

<3 Evie :D

Steve Jobs

I've said it once and I'll say it again things always seem to happen on Wednesdays.
Today the world lost a visionary man, someone who really changed the world. Steve Jobs. In my house we've only ever had Apple computers and products, you wouldn't be caught dead with something otherwise. I know its crazy cause I never met Steve Jobs, but it really does sadden me that someone so special is gone. It also bugs me because well he lost his battle to cancer, a fight that even though my end of treatment is near is still something I'm fighting everyday. I guess what really gets me about his death is that it reminds me what cancer is. Its that doesn't give a shit about who you are or how you lived your life, really its an equalizer. We are all human and we all face our challenges and when our time comes it comes. Steve you will be missed, but your product and legacy will never be forgotten.
On a different note, I am super excited for our readers (are you out there or is it just us?) to learn about what we have in store for you guys! Its gonna be awesome I can feel it!

P.S. Love no writing rules! Got nothing more to say!!!

About to go to bed

Hey all, still super confused about the status of this week's blog, so I will post fun pictures:

This is a totally sexy picture of George Harrison.

This is a picture of a dream I had, in which my armpit hair was as long as the hair on my head, with the same texture.

As soon as I saw this picture, I added "Elephant shower" to my bucket list.

I don't at all own this picture– I just saw it on Facebook once. Of course it made quite an impression on me, and has been my desktop picture for the past month. Every time I see it, it's like I'm seeing it for the first time. Quite the masterpiece, wouldn't you agree?

Okay, well that's my post! Readers, we have something exciting in store. Hold your collective breaths, but only metaphorically because we're still a few days away from the big reveal(s)!

Octooooober

Evie– AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I am so psyched for you!!!!!! For both things!

…

For this friday, how about we leave off the Friday Question? Seems we kind of need space/time to reconvene, so… FREEFORM FRIDAY (as in freeform week… next week… wut). Seems like someone has to go to bed in order to stop being so confusing.

See you guys!

Edit to add: What I meant to say, in this very enigmatic post, was that for the coming week RELM-ers could blog about anything. Anything! THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES!
