i not only miss this person, but this time. i miss janey and all things that helped turn me into the loud, brash loose cannon i am today. i miss drinking with her. i miss crafting and baking with her. i miss falling asleep talking to her after days of prancing in our prospective cities. i miss shopping with her and being scowled out of places due to our inappropriate noises. i miss janey so, so much. vegas better goddamn be prepared for what it has coming to it when he travel there together.

tuesday, 2011

so, the first one of 2011.

i am taking a break from prancing with the dog, cuddling boyface, cooking and tidying to sit and reflect on the last week with a smiling face.

the last week has been a beautiful collection of moments, things and emotions that i love and am very thankful for. very, drastically different from my first week in 2010, but still just as magical. i can pretty much say "so far, so good" with an honest and open mind.

so, without further ado, my first list of 2011...

having my toes licked by the dog
re-arranging the house
picking my nose
Henry Rollins
Dustin Hoffman
when Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman are in a film together
Muffin's nightguard... for much of our time together my lack of sleep has come primarily from the fact that he grinds his goddamn teeth like he's trying to end world hunger or something (which, in retrospect, after having typed that, i realize that makes no sense... who cares? i don't want to think up another metaphor). only after much, MUCH nagging and many suggestions at the recommendation of my sister, did he finally go to the dentist to get a mold done of his teeth and therefore get a nightguard. since he's had it my nights are less interrupted (in that i sleep at least an extra hour each night, which previously was spent listening to him grind and grabbing his face until he stopped). it's nice, and i heart it.
when someone comes in from outdoors and smells like the crisp, fresh air
femme fatale films
when you can see the boom in the shot
watching Muffin create his website... NOT to be confused with me hearting the fact that he is making one, as THAT is a sore point in our lives and i don't like discussing it. the actual hearting comes from the fact that i just enjoy seeing his little face light up when he makes a really good page or gets some part of the HTML right.
my super-long scarf... 2x the length of me, BOO-YA!
Drew Barrymore
Intervention... my actual drug of choice now. Muffin mistakenly showed it to me on New Year's Eve and now i'm done for. soon i will need an Intervention intervention. but only if Jeff will head it for me.
Jeff Van Vonderen
Canada
whipping cream
armadillos
maple syrup
my slow cooker
pretty dresses
drawing vaginas
coal pencils
messy art

Day 29 - A picture that can always make you smile.

mostly all the photos of Pow being disabled are my favourites for when i need to smile.

Day 28 - A picture of something you're afraid of.

chickens. there is nothing in the entire world i am more terrified of than chickens. except maybe clowns. chickens with clown faces. that's a horrific image.

Day 27 - A picture of yourself and a family member.

my grandmother. i was tiny and she was (and still is) astoundingly beautiful. i love her.

Day 26 - A picture of something that means a lot to you.

MY list book. the one with JUST my list in it. it's special and goes absolutely everywhere with me. i love the memories and photos it holds.
