Oh hi! So I'm looking at a new place today! Its a six level town house with two sun rooms and two washrooms and a huge yard! I don't get paid untill next week, so I can't walk in the door and put a huge deposit down. Considering the price and the deal and the area, I want it even if it is a dump. It is the prettiest little neighborhood. I am so so so sooo excited to be potentially be getting out of my parents house. I hate living there. Its pretty miserable. Since my room burnt down about two weeks ago, I have almost no where to sleep there. I finally got a mattress last week and now since they actually started to renovate it , I had to take everything out. Oh well. I'm going to get some mad insurance money. I had too much stuff anyway.

DREADS!DREADS!DREADS!DREADS! Or something like that. More like fluffy balls of waxed misery. My scalp hates me. About a month from now though I'm sure they will be rad but because my hair is short and stupidly layered its doing this Side Show Bob sort of thing. Owa owwa owaa ow. Oh man. I feel miserable, tomorrow I'm sure my scalp will stop crying and maybe I'll get a picture up.

My whole body hurts. At about quater to nine this morning I decided to go flying into a stop sign. I caught it with my arm and the rest of my body seemed to mold around it at high speed. This leaves me with a very swollen arm. I love bruises though. The day before yesterday I bought a longboard on impulse. I am very glad that I did. It is seriously one of the most fun things ever. It is soo smooth and personally I find a hundred times more fun and comfortable then skateboards. Unfortunately I have no muscles on any part of my body that doesnt involve walking/biking/folding t-shirts/random thrashing and breakdowns. I hurt so so so bad. The crash this morning seems to have gotten rid of any brazeness that I previously had, maybe I can gather some up before work tomorrow. Oh ho ho.
I lost my work keys. It is so lame. There was a creepy fella walking behind me , I whipped out my safety pin (of doom) and I think at this point they fell off and onto the massive death hill. Which by the way, is a bad idea to longboard down... Most the hills in Dartmouth are when you have no idea how to stop or slowdown... Anyway, getting the locks and keys replaced is 300$ which is awful. I hope they don'treally make me pay that. Uhhh. Hm what else? Our store was robbed, or more like ripped apart and stuffed into a group of girls backpacks. More then 700$ of merchandise. Needless to say I was in shit. But seriously they were scary, and security WOULDNT do anything and it didn't help that there were two of us and the should have been 4 people working. Geeze. Retail drives me nuts, somehow I love it there.

Feeling very down and out the past couple of weeks I decided to ramble around the city. It was nice. I was disapointed I didn't get to hang out with Alex because he had to go help out his mom, but I didn't let it get to me. I just walked and enjoyed the nice day. It's the first entirely nice day I've had in a while. I don't even think I can jinx it at this point. I got enough vitamin D to last me days. I've had a dialogue running in my head all day. As if I'm writing, not in the crazy way. I forgot how refreshing it was to trap yourself under a stack of books and devour every word untill you've escaped. Disassociating myself has never felt so good.

I'm very tired of Nova Scotia. The world is so much bigger. I feel very very trapped. I don't think I'll be satisfied with leaving this house. It's Nova Scotia as a whole, maybe even Canada. Hell, maybe even North America. I want to run away and romanticize the hell out of it. I want culture shock. I want my eyes to open up and realize I never knew anything and that this microcosm of a life pales in comparison at the rest of the beauty in the world. Also I bet I used microcosm wrong, but its a nice word.

I went to work with blondish hair today. It was a very interesting change. Alot of people suprised me by telling me it looked good. I was sort of confused and vapid all day, but I can't say that was a change of pace sadly. I'm dyeing it back tomorrow or the next day and then I will get my lovely stylist, aka Alex, to dread it. Wooot woot wooot. Proper dreadies. After combing dreads out twice I thought it might be a nice idea to get it done right proper. Unfortunatly I'll have bangs still, but ooh man, because its so thinned out from styling adventures they will be super short and in turn probably super cute. Well unless you're one of those maniacs who hates cute little baby dreads. Look away man. I've wanted these forever, Alex says he'll disown me if I comb them out. I'm glad.

SHooooOooOoOoopa! I think I may change everything about me, I feel like I've kept myself dormant for a long time. Maybe all of winter, maybe a year or two. I'm not sure. I don't especially hate myself, I just don't see me when I look in the mirror. I see a bag of skin and bones and chub that I've decently maintained over the winter. I'm getting my lip peirced tomorrow and I don't care what you think . I'll be a sex-bot. Turbo.

Excited! Excited Excited!

His name is Alex. I sent him a cupcake, he sent me a little origami box with a chocolate inside. He guessed who I was. My life really doesn't feel real right now at all. I told him I wanted to send him on some sort of little adventure like Amelie, I told him I didn't because he might think I'm a crazy stalker. Alex says I should have. I told him to forget he ever met me... I have no idea what sort of adventure I'm going to plan, but I need to figure it out soon. I'm so afraid I'm going to wake up, this is amazing.

I am awake. So early. Why? A challenge. Chocolate-jalapeƱo cupcakes. I can do this. ... My life feels like a movie, and I'm too excited to meet a stranger who I've never met. Wish me luck.

I want to illustrate a short story, a children's story I think. It doesn't matter if its already illustrated as long as its not as over illustrated as Harry Potter for example. I think a simple project would be nice little hobby to keep me occupied. What do YOU think would be a nice little kid story?

I quit NSCAD. For now anyway. I just don't feel like its going anywhere and I knew that before I even went it wouldn't - I just wanted the BA. I plan on going to NSCC next year and make some real money instead of Monopoly money. I'll go back when I'm settled down a little bit. I like this plan. Since quiting I've been way more excited to do art. I seemed to have forgotten why I was at NSCAD to begin with. Because I enjoyed it. I do not however enjoy drawing garlic for hours and hours. I do not enjoy my 4 hour class on how to use the magic wand on Photoshop. I do not enjoy dreading to do ANOTHER self-portrait. I am excited to be out. People seem a bit upset when I tell them I've quit. I don't understand why, the stuff I was making before Garlic and Popcorn and Potatos was much better, plus at NSCC I'd be able to get a job where I can make money to supply my art habit. So maybe some day I'll make them happy and I'll go back to the 'Natural Mundane Object' assignment.

Today I feel like less than a person. No reason why. I just don't feel 100%, I havn't in a couple of days, let's blame kids shopping for back to school. Work never stops being BUSY. If I feel like less than a person I should get the choice to feel like something cool like a puli.
 That would be so cool. Julie the puli. I'm pretty sure though dogs are a better thing to be than people, so if I had a choice, that wouldn't be one of them.
I should be a representation of the early nineties - not a person but an iconic symbol. ... After thoroughly thinking this out I have come to the conclusion that I remember little of the early nineties. I remember Jerry Springer and Dudley the Dragon. I remember not knowing french in french immersion and pretending I knew what was going on. I eventually figured it out, I just remember the teacher talking in french the first day and I didn't understand a word of it. I also remember I had a hair elastic that said JULIE on it, so everyone somehow knew my name and gave me the crazy idea that I might have friends because people knew my name.
I have awesome sunglasses I found that must have gotten lost in time and landed in EB Games 17 or so years later. They are pretty 90's symbolic. I feel like an object I should just wear a symbol. Merge and disapear... at least untill back to school is over.

I can never sleep when Im a sicky. Oh well I don't work untill 12 anyway. I have been making lists, these lists are often boring, it is a boring thing I do when I am bored. Lists lists lists. So many of these lists make me wish my birthday was more often. I wish there was a gift giving occasion closer to fall. I could get this:  Not the lady, the shirt type thing that she is wearing. Although I woulndn't mind having her either, she could wash my dishes and do the laundry. I am sure Kate would love to have her too. The fact that she only had the one shirt ( which I would steal) could make the whole situation more enjoyable. ... I have gone on a tangent, lists. My wrist - I have noticed really hurts, a month of lifting fry racks does that. When I go back to Drawing 2 life will be hell-a-painful.
Indeed.

No work today. I feel sick. I spent most of my day lolly-gagging and waiting for that call from D-tox that never came. I am quite annoyed about that.
Last night I went to The Attic to see The Jimmy Swift Band . The Attic is waaay better then The Dome I think. JSB was awesome.
Inspired by Kates cupcakes I baked some of my own out of boredom, I am very proud of them. They are vanilla cupcakes with cinnamon-brown sugar swirls. I made three kinds of icing, which I am even more proud of; vanilla, hot chocolate (a dash of cinnamon) and dark chocolate (a dash of coffee). They are tasty.
I have been packing a little bit today. I am very excited to move, I am moving to Halifax with Cup-Kate at the end of the month if you didn't know. I expect it will be a good time, or at least a better time with less meal options. On a related note I don't have a couch, if you have one or see one thrown out next door message me I would so appreciate it. (Any other 'usless' junk you have might be awesome too ^.^)

Julie =1 Stupid Kids=0. Okay so I didn't even close to beat a kid up, but I thought it was funny. Everett almost did but I wouldn't let him. I was so touched he wanted to defend me, aww. I was biking with Everett and Jamie Murray tonight in Shubie. Earlier when it was just me and Everett this big group of kids (not the same kids at all as the ones in Creighton) comes out into the parking lot. Everett jumped the curb and pretty much flew down the hill. It looked pretty neat. The little jerks go on about it, and me being slower and not willing to risk my life flying down a hill stays back about 5 feet away from the dunderheads. They're hooting and hollering " Buddy thinks he can bike!".Right.. Dumb kids whatever, I was a dumb kid, so I ignored them, I suprisingly I didn't even give them a dirty look ,glance or twice over. This one kid starts walking infront of my bike , his arms outstretched and obviously looking for a fight. What I had done to offend him by avoiding a curb and bikeing down a hill, noooo idea. I was still pretty P.O'ed at kids allready so there was no way I was going to stop for some little twit looking for a fight. I ran into him. I went down the hill. His friends hooted and hollored. It was an awesome hill. I felt great after running into the little jerk. (and I probably would have anyway, and if I hadn't the group of like 9-10 kids would have probably beat me up if I had of stopped and Everett wouldnt have noticed me gone for another few minutes since he was flying down a hill) So continueing down a trail I noticed the kid I ran into was running after me. AHA, I think he thought I was a guy with my big sweater on, either that or he was a total bone-head. This kid, and this is almost admirable how well he kept up, is dragging a HUGE branch. He planned on beating me with a branch? This doesnt seem very effective. I laughed. I caught up with Everett who seemed to want to actually fight the kid, as much as I rant that I'd beat a kid up I'd probably still feel guilty.I almost wish I had of let him but just said no. I wanted to bike. I ran into the kid, he at least had a reason to be pissed ( besides the fact that he walked into me). We biked on and laughed ..very loudly at the kid running, and throwing bits or gravel at us (haha). I told him to run faster. I'm a bad person, but I think he deserved it. Man, kids are so nuts. I wish they'd stop the randomly attacking people. Verbally or physically, they're a pain in the ass.

The pessimist in me thinks something bad will happen very soon. It is so nice out, leaves seem to actually be growing now, I raked the yard and ripped out some dead bushes yesterday (I was so very very bored). I found all kinds of neat stuff, like we have fiddle-heads growing. Monsieu Everett advises I dig them up and get the violin out of the dirt. Har har. I wish , violins are awesome, I used to play when I was little. I'd like to start again. I can't wait untill I have money again. Not even to buy big things like tattoos , clothes, trips to Calgary, or even a spaceship seem sooo important (although I wil when I get money). I would really like to just go out for sushi, or get an energy drink again whenever I felt like it.. Oh yes and to pay for that finacial leech they call NSCAD. OH silly school I ALMOST miss you, I'll give it a couple of weeks, I'm sure by the time school swings back around I'll regret missing it and not doing more illustrative things all summer. I've been sewing a bunch though! It's so fun, I made a dinosaur head pin-cushin, I should scan it.

I forgot why I used to ride my bike exclusively at night! Those rich little shit-head Crayton Park kids were out today due to the warmth and sun ,where I've allready been out since it was snowing one day +12 the next. They are for some reason attatched to pissing me off! Everytime I see one of those shits without Everett around they yell things at me and piss me off. If Everetts there they're all friendly "they were in such and such swim class I taught" he'd say. The fucking shits can't figure out how to swim on they're own. MAN I HATE KIDS. I swear even if they're kids I might knock their heads together if I'm given a hard time again. I told them off today and they shut up for a bit. ARRR. I put up with dumb kids everyday walking home from highschool, I'd rather the gangster baby's then the rich-shits. At least I can be satisfied knowing those ghetto babys will probably have a a baby and no daddy by the time theyre 16. The rich shits though... Probably go to some nice university, I hope they all get uncomfortable office jobs with no air conditioning! I hope they get addicted to coke and their (trophy) wife leaves them, alone, in a huge house. I hope they crash on airplane to the Bahamas. I hope they grow up and stop pissing me off everytime I go to ride my bike! Ugh. I think the little jerk-balls know where I live now. They were gathered at the end of my street after I had gone in different direction to avoid conflict and me spilling their blood. I knew the kid at the end of the street and if he says anything, or if their poisonous little eyes followed me .I WILL AQUIRE DINOSAUR STRENGTH AND CRUSH THEM!! I was soooooo scared they'd take my brand awesome new bike (I checked theirs out, mines significantly better). I locked mine up. Stealing one of those twots shitty bikes wouldnt be half as satisfying as mine. How much trouble can you get in for beating kids up who hassle and provoke you on the street. They're all teen-pre-teeny twiggy kids. I could take 5 of them, well as angry as I was I could have. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT THESE KIDS HASSLEING ME?
