i watched and i waited til she was inside.

Merry (belated) Christmas!
I recieved and gave some amazing gifts. We're heading up island to my Nana's in about 20 minutes, so this'll be a short one.

First of all, i want this, SO badly. By this, i mean Emma Watson, and everything she's wearing.

Secondly, she is officially my newest fashion icon. I've loved her for a while, but now it's official.

She's just so gorgeous, and has her own style. I've been into a more grungy look lately, she tends to lean that way sometimes.

who's there, who is, stoppin for a visit? is that you santa claus?

Christmas is in two sleeps, and i'm ridiculously excited. Tonight i found out that i'll be receiving a pink plush housecoat, and i'm pumped. In my defence i was not snooping, it was behind the couch, which isn't even next to a wall; not very well hidden. I'm hoping that my mother will see this, and let me have it now, enabling me to wear it all day tomorrow. I dyed my hair today, it's so dark, darker than i planned, or wanted, but it's nice. Close to black, which is slightly weird only because i'm 99% sure i dyed my hair a year ago today with the exact same stuff. Shortly after starting my hair i was nervous about not having nearly enough dye. Once all of my hair was finished, i was still left with half a bottle. I used the rest of it as hair gel, putting my hair in funny shapes.

Next to no makeup today. I only got dressed around 4:30 for a short trip to the Salvation Army, i still need winter clothes! I told my mum that i was hoping for some winter dresses, and she practically begged me to wait till Christmas - i wonder what else i'll be unwrapping Friday morning. Sadly, as usual there were hardly any dresses at the local Sally Ann, although i did find a cute 90's vest for $3, and a wool coat for $7. My new coat is gray, much too big for me, missing a pocket, and my mother says that it makes me look homeless. I absolutely love it. Also, my response to her shot at my coat was "you look homeless," brilliant Shaelee, brilliant.

Also i've made a daily booth, it's so much fun. It kinda like twitter, only for photo's.

the fact that this is my 70th post makes me laugh, simply because my last one was my 69th,

So, i'll skip any apologies about being absent for so long. Oh well. Yesterday was our school's annual "Winter Semi-Formal', held in the commons. Being able to even hold this dance was a big deal, seeing as a large percentage of students were caught drunk out of their minds at the last dance. Because of this shadowy past, our school made a big deal over letting everyone know that there would be breathalyzers, and any one under suspicion, or 'at random', would be tested. Me and my two friends were tested when we walked through the doors, thirty minutes late, although they are both in grade 12 this year, and one was caught drunk last year. As we walked in the front doors, after klumzily going the wrong way a chill teacher, a new councilor guy, and a lady cop confronted us.
"Alright, random breathalysing test, who wants to go...you(?)." Pointing at the twin who knew the police officer personally.
"Uh...sure," throughout the process of watching her blow on the plastic tube, me and my other friend were laughing quietly.
"Oops, didn't work, try again"
We continued with our laughter.
Anyways, the usually exciting, over-the-top school dance, was a complete fail... maybe not complete, but now what i had expected. The school's hang out area was filled with an awkward squish of scene ninth graders, still very excited tenth graders, a few handfuls determined to have fun eleventh graders, and very little why am i even here grad students. Not exactly a complete success. Our school also purchased about 300 breathalyzer tubes, and 190 students showed for the occasion.
J-Hump didn't play Party In The USA either, i'm not okay with this. A good ninety-seven Miley crazed students joined a facebook group in petition, too.
I wore a black and pink dress, with black floral lace, i found it as Sirens with Bri the day before. It resembled the dress i 'made' for the last formal. I borrowed a studded belt to go with, found myself a matching bracelet, and a chain-like necklace. Black tights and shiny black pumps from Super Store completed my look, making me feel extremely bad-ass.
The funniest part though, instead of going to the school dance, it's rumored that some students vandalized all of the school buses. There's no proof that EMCS students had anything to do with it, but i think it would make sense. While all the cops in town were at the local high school dance, there were none anywhere else in town on a Thursday night. Some seats were torched, doors ripped off, tires sliced, and spray paint everything. Bloody genius, it seems well thought out. On the plus side for anyone wanting to go to another school dance, the school board shouldn't be able to blame it on the school / dances. Anyone that had anything to do with the dance, was obviously at the school, so they couldn't have had anything to do with the vandalizing.
For the past couple on nights, i've been barely surviving the cold, so i've practically been living in Tia's American Eagle sweater / shirt. I slept in this morning, though i still had an hour to wait until my step-dad would be able to drive me to school. The opportunity was just too good to turn down, today i wore black jeans, Tia's cosy shirt, and red converse. It was a good day, sorta.
At this moment i am sitting on Mariah's couch, boiling from the heat of the laptop, heater, and fake fireplace. Mariah is snoring on the fold out chair. It is about three am, 2:55 to be exact, and i'm wide awake. Likely only because i'm writing, once i stop i'll probably crash. I just finished watching Home Alone, and i'm so glad that it's the Christmas season. I honestly don't think i've ever been so excited for this holiday, it's supposed to snow tomorrow too.
yaaaaaaaaay!

the rules of attraction.

Last night Steph and i Watched The Rules of Attraction(2002). We were slightly skeptical at first, the only reason we watched it at all, being Ian Somerhalder. It turned out to be on of those movies, 'the best movie of all time' sort of thing. We both laughed a ridiculous amount, and just... "oh my god this movie is so amazing". I recommend that everyone watches it as soon as possible, meaning right now. It reminds me of Fight Club, in the way that everything is so crazily accurate. There's one character (it might have been our boy Ian, actually), who would often just think to himself, in the way the main character of Fight Club does. Ironicaly, actress Shannyn Sossamon, looks alot like Helena Bonham Carter, who played Marla Singer in Fight Club. I'm hoping that the two of us watch the movie again some time this week, since i missed about half of it. Okay, so i didn't miss it exactly, it was just too much to comprehend. It was just such a klusterfuck.

click here to see the best part.


Tia and i went into town today to do some Christmas shopping, and i ended up with some boots. I also found this cute little Disney Princess Magic Wand, which i know will end up being nothing less of irritating. I found it hilarious, partly, and mostly because Tia hated it, which made her smile. It's pink, with a heart on top, with a picture of Snow White, and a heart shaped button that makes a magic noise. I'm pretty sure that i had one like it when i was four, so i couldn't say no.

I don't know what to wear with the boots tomorrow! I'm thinking a skirt (of course!), and blue knee high socks. It's still pretty cold out though, so i may freeze like that. Also, i'm not sure where exactly the socks are. Poo.

Thursday, November 19, 2009

DLFKSDFG YES YES YES

btw, i'm deffs gettin these boots asap.

nothing excites me more than winning a game of solitaire.



I didn't go to school today, my throat hurts much too much for that. I was planning on going for the last two blocks of the day (Art 11, and AP English), but i slept until 1, and Art started at 12:50, so it seemed basically pointless. My Throat still hurts, but the 13 hours of sleep i had last night did help. Honestly, i was a little surprised by the time when i woke up, but i was half expecting to have slept through the school day.
Last night/mostly this morning i suppose, i had numerous odd dreams. I ran away from home in the...50's? Maybe, i'm not sure what exactly the decade was, but i saw everything in sepia, and we lived on a farm. Me and some friends drove off in our VW beetle, which was rusty and silver. As we were driving, we wound up downtown, and in modern day time. We turned off on a side road, and met another runaway lady. We hung out with her for some time, and left i suppose.
Next i was with Tia, and we drove from her place, to my place, which is approximately 6 houses down the road. We still had the rusty, old beetle, and an older (homeless?) man. We didn't think anyone was home, my home, and i ran inside to grab some clothes, we were running away again. I went inside, and saw my mother, my aunt, and Lacey in the kitchen. I was completely surprised that anyone was home, but mother was angry about something, so she didn't pay much attention to me.
"Can i hang out with Tia...?"
"Sure."
I got back into the car, and explained that she was home, so i couldn't grab any clothes, or food.
My next little dream segment made a little more sense. I was in Super Store with Bri, and trying to find some tights. A worker came to help us out, and directed us to the socks, trying to sell us something besides what we wanted. Typical. Eventually the two of us found what we wanted by ourselves, but i couldn't find the right shade of yellow. I'm craving a pare of deep yellow tights, but in my dream, Super Store only had neon yellow, and a light, eastery yellow. This was more realistic because yesterday Bri and I went to Super Store in search of some things, tights being among them. Sadly, i was unable to find any that weren't for three year olds.
Somehow i don't remember much else from last night, which is slightly depressing. Dreams are always exciting.

and today was a day just like any other.

Well, i'm sorry to say i've seemed to have lost almost all interest in this blog. My life have been more or less fucked up in the past month and a bit, and well... i've been too busy living my life, to write about it. Something i know that i'll regret, seeing as i tend to forget unless i write it down. I was temporarily kicked out for about a week, then my mother 'forgot', i suppose. Now i "live here, so i should stay here," personally i think that's bullshit though. I do have a couple of pictures from October, and... one(?) from the most part of November, that has already started. I doubt anyone is interested in it, but that's alright.

There was a U2/Black Eyed Peas concert a couple of weeks ago, i went to it, with my mother. Originally (months and months ago), she was supposed to go with her hubby, but then some shit came up, and i went instead. It was pretty fun, we had floor tickets, although it took 4 workers to tell us that, idiots. Then we had to go through 3 more blue vested foreigners, and teenagers to actually get to the floor. I have no idea what that was all about, but it was pretty dumb. No offence to my mum, but i don't ever recommend going to a concert with a mother, especially not if it's yours. And especially not if you love to dance, mosh, and go crazy, because most moms don't like doing said activity, apparently. Also, maybe it's just mine, but she was slightly crazy over this guy who was "sliming" me, even though i didn't notice it. But apparently he was "rubbing up against me the entire time," then again, we were on the floor.

It took us 45 minutes to get from the stadium to our hotel, by then it was 2am, this included stopping at a 711 so i could get a slushie (i thought it was a smart idea at the time,) and my mum could get a microwave burger. We arrive, freezing and wet, it turns out the heater in our room is broken, and i forgot pajamas. boo. We were forced to awake at 5am, and catch a 6:30 ferry back to the island, this way my mum could pic up Noah and Lacey from their grandparents' house. I'm not sure why exactly, but i figured "what the hell?", and went to school. I always tend to do that, when Noah was born, i was woken up at midnight, went back to bed around 4, and insisted on going to school that day. I was in the 4th grade, btw.

I'm not sure, but i believe it was the beginning of October when i met a nice lady named Kristy. She sold me a brilliant breast cancer tshirt, and told me she would be willing to sell some of my things, depending on the quality. She soon sent me a message on facebook, although i still haven't replied, due to stupid reasons. Well, pretty much i never uploaded pictures of that blue dress i meddled with over the summer, and that was all i really had to show her. I just uploaded it along with some images for this post, so maybe i'll reply tonight, letting her know i'm not ridiculously immature for not responding to a business offer. Anyways, this is the breast cancer shirt she designed, and how i wore it.

I found the cutest dress, ever, at The Patch in October. It's a cream colour, with a peculiar lace. I didn't notice until after i bought it, and was sitting in English class playing with the hem, that the lace looks like millions of little spider webs. Too cute! I believe it was later on that night when i came upon the John Patrick (organic) Fall Collection on my search for some good fall fashion. My feet are always wet, cold, and i never have anything good for current weather conditions. Damn i'm unprepared. Anyways, i'm absolutely in love with the outfit on the right, in the 5th picture down. I attempted to reconstruct it with whatever clothes i could find laying in my dirty pile. (Pretty much everything was in the dirty pile at that moment, i still need to do laundry actually). My lace dress almost reminds me of the black lace dress to the left, also in the 5th image down. The last outfit is something i know i'll be wearing more than i should. That turtle neck is just so comfortable, and perfect for fall! I still adore that skirt more than nearly anything, and it goes with practically everything.


Holy crap, so i just realised it's 11:30 pm, and i have school tomorrow, as i do every other Monday. Although this past week i've received next to no sleep with the hockey tournament. We lost all of out games btw. I'll hopefully continue this tomorrow, although likely not.

Good night!

i'm fooling around, i'm not giving up.

For being one of the many sick kids of this town, i clean up well. This is close to what i wore on the 3rd day of school, but today was a different shirt, no leggings, and different boots....and a hat with different hair. OK, so not that much the same at all, but the skirt and belt are, so that's all that really matter's a suppose. Months and months ago i found the cutest little hair clip on the side of the road, but never got the chance to wear, today was an awesome day for that. This skirt was remotely cheap at Off The Wall the longest time ago, the shirt was $5 from Garage mid-summer, and the hat i've had forever it seems, although i rarely wear it.I believe that it is almost obvious that it doesn't sparkle in a gorgeous way like that, but t still looks nice. It's a purple(?) little gem, then smaller ones of different colors following.
au revoir!

Friday, September 25, 2009

i'm not surprised,

The first image(s) is from yesterday(September 25/09), and I got too distracted with hockey, art, weed, and photo shop to write anything about it. By the way, no, I didn't figure out how to use the photo shop program, and I doubt I will. Yesterday I was planning to wear my over-alls that were found at the Sally Ann just before summer began, but about 3 minutes after I was supposed to leave for the bus, the extremely gray clouds were spotted just outside my window. Just my luck. Running up the stairs I changed into this, gladly it worked out pretty well. oops! i spilt some spaghetti sauce on my knee...
I can not get over how hilarious Indi is! The above image is from a couple
of weeks ago, and the below are from yesterday. While eating my dinner, and
doing English homework in our place house, I look over to see this.
I have a bad feeling that it's not going to be warm enough for shorts for much longer, and the sky was a bright shade of blue this morning. Hello over-alls! There's nothing really special about today, it's a Friday, so I suppose that's quite awesome. Oh! By the way, I dyed my hair the other night, although it's not quite what I wanted, it's not dark enough, slightly red actually. I'm thinking about trying again with Bri, when she mixed her hair dye, she forgot to add the bleach. oops.

with not much to loose, but so much to gain.










The anchor skirt! This may have been mentioned months ago, but it's only worn it once or twice. It was hemmed by moi a week or so before school started (the 8th?), but it was also left at a friend's house. So now here it is! When I first bought it, it went down to my mid calf I believe, but once again I forgot to take a picture of the original, but that's okay. It's now actually quite short, mid-thigh maybe? I am wearing some leotards underneath, but they're not really doing much. Wow my hair is getting long, maybe I should just continue growing it out... I was thinking that maybe i should enter this skirt, and find a shirt and other things to go with it for that contest, but that could most definitely be difficult since a picture of the original, and what I've done with it would be needed. Humpf!
tootles!

Sunday, September 20, 2009

goodnight moon,

Just need to brush my teeth, then off to bed. Wow I'm glad that there's no school tomorrow, I am pooched! Only one thing for you bloggers out there.

ohmigod. i love my small dog so much.

Friday, September 18, 2009

you put a big bird in a small cage it'll sing you a song.

I hope it went well, I figured that it was time to bring out the leggings again. My hair didn't do anything to good for me today, I truly do need it cut soon, and I really dont think I can get it done. We're trying out the 'indipendant' thing right now, so I'm really hoping that Orange Julius calls back soon - I had an interview last Monday evening. I dont have anytime to ramble on tonight, heading to Jessica's for a night of adventures with friends!

suffocated by stress, my life is a mess.

Okay, so no big-but today I looked amazing. Today was the day, that's right, the day. I decided it was time to whip out my ten dollar red plaid men's coat from The Patch. I'm loving this coat more than I think I've loved anything in quite some time. It probably wasn't exactly the best idea to wear this today, as it was actually somewhat sunny today, apposed to the rain attack yesterday afternoon. But, that's okay because I made it, even through the fire drill. Oh, and btw, apparently Fefe Dobson has a coat just like mine, which I'm not okay with. (A-)She wore hers first, as eight years old as it may cause me to sound, I still would have felt better wearing mine in public first. (B-)Didn't she like... die or something? I remember when she popped up when I was in the first or second grade, though others say that she first came around when we were in the third grade. Anyways, suddenly she's back(?) with an actually pretty good song, and she's like eighteen?? I'm sad to admit that this is what I'm doing in my free time.
Today I also started creating my 'Movie Play list', yeah I caved, although I would like to admit that so far it's pretty awesome. For when walking to the bus stop I want bet that you look good on the dancefloor, by the Arctic Monkeys. If I ever got into a school fight (which I highly doubt), swing by Taking Back Sunday would be 100% perfect, luckily enough I have a back up plan for the very occasion. There was once when standing in the commons at school where one kid yelled at this other kid. What the first boy said I didn't catch, although what second guy screamed back was "I'm gonna kill the muthf*cka!!!" What followed was slightly scary, but more hilarious later on, and i couldn't actually fully believe that it really happened. It felt so American high school.
Anywhoo, my Art class theme song most definitely would have to be from the stars, by White Lies. While bent over drawing my 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' scene, and listening to this song I completely forgot where I really was. Instead of the Art room, it felt more like a drug rehab, or a homeless shelter, kind of like in White Oleander, when Astrid is staying in the orphan's home, and practically lives in their 'art room'. If there ever was a movie about me(which would be completely, and totally awesome), I would make sure that there would be a fire drill, just to exaggerate how much teenagers really are like ants. That's a completely different story though. The song playing while all the kids would walk through the halls with blank faces, and nothing particular on their minds, this song would be perfecto. I first found this song on itunes, it was the free download of the day, and was(is) completely and totally awesome,bang bang,by K'naan, ft Adam Levine(from Maroon 5). Last song now, because every movie has the sad lover side story, no matter what, I think that two days old by Cash Cash would be pretty awesome for the very purpose.
Okay, I'm done my massive rant of absolutely nothing of any importance. Minus a few tiny details, Fefe Dobson for one.

Tomorrow's picture day(I don't know why everytime I say photo day in my head, it sounds so odd), so I really should have gone to bed hours ago. I also still have math homework, which I dont understand the slightest, and have a test on tomorrow. Gotta love highschool!

with everything i've got.



Last Saturday afternoon I noticed that my eye looked... off. Yesterday morning I woke up to the gift of pink eye. Today being a Monday, I was forced to stay home, and my being a nerd, i was not excited. I did want to go to school, and not just because of my double Art 11 block.
So, today I did what anyone else in my predicament would do, stay in their pajamas until 3pm, watch last night's rerun of the VMA's, and sketch. As previously mentioned, I'm going to enter a fashion contest, wish me luck! I only have two ideas drawn out currently that i would like to attempt for the contest, both of which should hopefully be in this post.

These two are the same dress, just different designs. I already have a white dress like so, but it's too small for me, it fits and everything, but it makes my boobs look like pancakes. So, i was thinking if i added a strip of patterned material - such as zebra print- then maybe it would still look alright. The... blob i suppose, down the front of the dress is basically a scarf, sewed on three separate spots. I want it fading from super dark, to light, and back to dark again, though I'm not sure what colour. Suggestions would be nice.
This dress is basically a "black goody bag" dress, I thought of this a month or so ago, but never got around to drawing it out. The idea is that it's baggy pretty much everywhere, but slightly more fitted around the chest, and hangs down from there. It's also a bubble dress, the string hanging from the neck weaves through the material around the neck, and pulls to close the fit to each person's preference.

Only last week (the first week of school) did I finally take home art from my last semester of grade nine. So, along with sketches, those images will go up, and whatever else I think fits, just because I can. I'm trying to get a picture of my outfit that a only put on about an hour ago, but it's not working. Since there's only one of me, I need to set my (mother's) camera on top of something, set the timer, and pose. But my head doesn't fit.
These two are the same piece, the one below is just to show some texture.
I was so proud, and yet so disappointed in the above image. I got 99%, which is amazing, but my close friend Jessica got 100%. Her's got framed.
This last one is quite old, some time during the eighth grade I think, but I still love it.

Okay, well i'm heading out for dinner with my mum, and her mum too, and here's what i've got to show off. My Nana bought this shirt for me on our shopping spree, though she didn't like it much, it was my favourite. Don't mind the mess, or my feet.


Saturday, September 12, 2009

I couldn't self describe, but you can't say I didn't try

The other night i found a contest for future fashion designers, and pretty much i need to make an outfit out of reconstructed, thrifted clothing. How perfect is this for me? I've already started a sketch, though i don't think it would be enough for this. My plan for it would be to use a white dress that Emily bought for me a month or so ago, but i just got it a couple weeks ago, it reminds me of something Bonnie, from Bonnie and Clyde would wear. It's a tad too small for me, so i was thinking if i could find the right patterned material to go with it all, i could put a triangle of it in the back to make up for space i need to fit. Lastly i want a scarf to drape across the front of the garment, hopefully something fading from extremely dark purple, to a light violet shade. What does everyone think?

I'd like to point out that Spandex Pony has been given an awesome opportunity! Some people somewhere, bought a cigarette vending machine - I know, weird right? Anyways, check out her page to learn about it, and all that jazz.

Today's the first Saturday since school started last Wednesday - Bonjour 10th grade! I don't think i have ever been so excited for a Friday as i was yesterday, though i was ready to pass out by 10:30 pm, there's a first for everything i suppose. Trust me, i wanted nothing more than to take pictures of my first week of 10th grade, but a camera is not in my hands right now.
Day 1(Wednesday):
  • Black empire waist from stitches, big bow at waist
  • Indigo necklace Tia got me from London waaay back
  • Black boots,
  • At the moment i forget what shirt
  • White almost 'hippy' like shirt, it makes me feel quite indie.
Day 2(Thursday):
  • Cream button up shirt, looks almost Victorian
  • Purple and blue plaid skirt-literally looks like it was cut off a man's button up shirt.
  • My 'army' belt, that makes me feel awesome, it has 3 small separate belt on it, one's dark gray to go with the rest of the belt, one is an old looking white. Something that was one white, 30 years ago, and is now aged. The last is a darker, more yellow shade of the previous.
  • Gray leggings
  • Brown boots
Trust me, i felt extremely full of myself, i knew i looked good, and i was told way too many times. I feel like I'm bragging way to much, but this is the only outfit i will feel so good about.
Day 3(Friday):Black jeans
  • Dark blue, 3/4 length shirt
  • Gray vest
  • Black boots
  • Pink plaid headband
    For the past couple months i have been trying to grow out my hair, but now i am really not liking it. I have two completely looking hair styles that i am thinking about, one extremely long that would take forever to get to. The other is very short, which i could go strait to, but then it would take me even longer to grow it out in the long run.

Long:

Short:

I had my first hockey practice of the season this afternoon, i do believe i may have died, and spontaneously came back. My back hurts so much, but I'm hoping i can get back into shape soon enough.

With school starting less than a week ago, i have to get back into the schedule of waking up so early, and remembering classes. My A block is pre-AP English 10, which i tried to switch into a different class for a specific teacher, no luck. B block is pre-AP Art 11, trust me, it's not as intimidating as it sounds, just kinda lame. Everyone else being in grade 11, and maybe a few from Grade 12, no one talks, or does anything. Hello next 6 odd months of my life.

Sunday, August 23, 2009

head to toe, you know she's dressed to kill, and she could the way she's looking at me.

Here's yesterday and today's outifts, it just came to my attention that I look almost the exact same though. The most of yesterday was spent in town on an adventure to try and find some things, most things weren't found though. I wore a simple purple tank-top from Garage, and one of my new favourite skirts that was $10.00 from a boutique downtown. As Stephanie and I walked through the doors, the lady at the sales desk told us that all clothing in the store would be, $10.00-lucky right? Completed with the usual black boots, and a black purse.

Although I haven't gone anywhere yet today, I'm still dressed up. I was going to go into town at some point, but I am feeling quite lazy. Maybe later? Today's wear includes a purple blouse I bought with my Nana a couple of weeks ago, which was around $10.00. The skirt is black, with white polka-dots, that was somewhere between $5 and $10 at the Patch. The sunglasses are my fake raybands, which I also bought at the Patch. Lastly, we have Edward, my perfect pup, although he's afraid of everything, and smells a bit, I still love him to bits.

Friday, August 21, 2009

you said you'd keep my honest, but i wont call you on it.

I know, I suck right? I've been busy, my mother has been working, I don't have a camera, I've been to warped, and too much has happened to catch up on. I'll talk about whatever events I have pictures from. It would be understandable if you hated me, or had completely forgotten about me. I suppose on that note, I'm kinda lucky that there's barely a handful of people reading this.
On a small note, whoever has been following the at random, barely there posts, you will remember that I mentioned in my last post that I went to go see Harry Potter in theatres. I also mentioned that I had 'made' a dress. I have pictures from the event, and I have a picture of the dress before I found it, but it is on my broken computer. I was going to wait until that was fixed, but that is just taking much too long. When Emily arrived at my house in the afternoon, I was lounging in my backyard with Lacey, reading Harry Potter. Here are a few moments from the day.

Oh how I love Hermione.

Throughout the month of August, Bri and I have grown quite close. The two of us have spent almost everyday of the past month together. We wander through our subdivision on adventures, tan at the beach that is a short walk from our houses, and we watch movies. I know, we sound like the typical girls on a summer day, right?

Everyone knows about Warped Tour, right? Well, just in case for some ridiculous reason, like you live in China or something, It's an amazing concert/tour (obviously). They tour across the States, and hit up a couple of spots in Canada, luckily one of them was close enough to my location. There are too many bands to count, but if you care enough, hit up Google, and do some searching. While Stephanie, Hannah, Sinead and I were there, we also met Dallas Green (of City and Colour, and Alexisonfire), and Tegan (from Tegan and Sarah). In the following images, it may become noticeable that I am the only on with that shade of blond (or any for that matter), trust me, it was noticed by others there also. After only being through the front gates for about five minutes, we walked past a Vans tent, there was a man with a megaphone calling out funny comments to whoever he saw deserved them. As we walked by, he called out on his megaphone "Hey, why are you the only one without blond hair, huh?"

Stephanie getting ready, also on the ferry.

Last, but definitely not leastly, the girl who made it all happen, Hannah, doing her hair on the ferry.

All of us girls after a long day of moshing.

On a final, ending note, I spent the better part of the last week volunteering with a group of teens around my age. Because of the fact that I don't have a camera that would be suitable for that type of work, I couldn't take any. Luckily for me, most people don't have giant Nikon cameras, and so they could take pictures. Hopefully whatever pictures have been taken will be up and loaded soon, and so I will have access of them soon also.
