Tumblr? Thanksgiving and the likes.

Tumblr or other blogging sites - are they better? Is blogger alright? What do you think? I looked at a few others...I just don't really know how comparable they are because I haven't used them.

Anyways...it's Friday! And then, Thanksgiving weekend! YAYYYYYY! Mmm... turkey~!
This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for all the same things as last year and more!

This year, there's a few more things I could add to the list...

1. Being married and spending most of my time with a sweet little Scottling. He makes things more enjoyable, even when I'm being difficult and YES even when you're being annoying ;D. Love you.

2. Having an adorable kitten!

(taken this morning)
Enough said. He's a pest most of the time...but he's cute and fun and my little cuddle bug! :)

3. That Scott is going to be around this Thanksgiving :) (we didn't expect him to be...so it's a pleasant surprise).

4. That we've been having an extended warm weather season. There was a Chinook last night, and the sun is out today! Seems like it's going to be a pleasant weekend (until we get hit with snow again -.-).

5. Vitamix! :D I don't think I've mentioned it, but a month or so ago...Scott and I got a Vitamix with some gift cards we had gotten for our wedding. It may seem silly...but I make a smoothie everyday and the Vitamix just makes it so quick and easy :)

(That was kind of like another 5 Things Friday Thanksgiving Edition) ;)

Anyways, thanks for reading!

What're you up to this weekend? Do you get Turkey? ;)
  Turkey for meow :)!

TGIF

Sweet weekend! I know I only had to work 3 days this week...but I'm definitely ready for the weekend! Not too much to share from my evening and week. It was a good week, but pretty laid back (which was good). It's been snowing on and off lately, which isn't all that pleasing unto me...but I guess I don't really have a choice in the matter (sadly).

Anything exciting happen in your week?

Let's do a five things friday of things I like today!

5 Things Friday

1. W is coming to visit me today! I haven't seen her since... (looks back at blog quick) ok, I guess it's only been about a month. But that's kind of a long time! Anyways, I'm excited. Hmm...it was exactly a month since I last saw her....and it was exactly a month previous when I saw her in December :o Insane. Right? Maybe? Yes.

So what am I doing tomorrow? Hanging out with the W ;)

2. Fudgies! A delicious dessert...no bake cookie I guess it would be. Lots of people know them as Haystacks, but for my life...they're fudgies ;) Anyways, I have a niece that apparently made them last night and she posted this picture on facebook.

Mmm... these are so good! And I haven't had them in a long while. I would post a recipe, but it wouldn't be THE recipe. I'll get that from my mother when I talk to her next (later today) and share it with all ya'll. I'll edit this post to add it in :)

3. I'm enjoying that I haven't been in an accident for a while (and I intend to keep it that way...). Please don't kill me luck (or lack of rather...). But the same can't be said for this poor soul. I snapped this picture quick when I was on the way to work.

4. 3 games...

• Words with friends
• Scamble with friends
• Hanging with friends

If you have an iPhone (or some android phones...), get these games! They're amusing, great time wasters, and they're not entirely pointless (only semi...)! And you get to play it with either someone random, or some friends you know that have it too!

5. Being engaged! :) We made it 'Facebook official' so I got this request...

The first thing that came to my mind?

Hahaha. It's just funny to me how facebook words it. Like he's proposing over facebook and I can just say ya...no thanks ;) I said yes originally Scott, but I'm saying no now!
Just kidding.
Love you :)


And that's it for now! Anything you're liking today? (besides the fact that it's Friday...)


Ciao for meow :)!

First February Friday

Alliteration! And a laggy computer :(

Anyways, last night I was watching a movie...because well, I just didn't feel like being productive. :D It was called Trust, and it was about a teenage girl who goes into a chat room and starts becoming close to/developing a crush for a boy (who she thinks is her age). Eventually, he tells her he's actually 20...he didn't want to say it at first in case it scared her. She's fine with that. Then later on, he tells her he's actually 25...and at first she's a little upset and is wondering why he keeps lying to her but he sweet talks his way out of it. Anyways, they eventually end up meeting and he's like 35/40ish and she's totally creeped out at first, but then he tells her age shouldn't matter because they're soul mates! She ends up getting raped and then she doesn't really hear from him again. Moral of the story? Don't get raped. But really...be careful with online business. It can be sketchy... And I wouldn't recommend this movie. It was kind of dry to be honest. But now you don't have to watch it anyways because I already gave you the morals ;)

Moving on!

5 Things Friday
Just some random things I'm liking today...

1. Packages that come in the mail and are kind of exciting! Or any mail really....don't you love getting letters? :3 I'll talk about the package in another post though ;)

2.Zippo hand warmers! They sound a little bit awesome actually.... you fill it with lighter fluid, light the little burner, put the cap on, put it in a little pouch, and there you have it! Up to 12 hours of hand warmingly delightful heat :3 (or bum if you put it in your back pocket :D)

(I know you can get them on amazon...or perhaps MEC?)

3. It's a leap year! And that's pretty awesome...as it only comes every 4 years (I think?) :D


4. This song. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Monarchy of Roses. It's a good song...quite catchy in my opinion ;) (I was going to have a link to the actual music video...but I found it weird. So instead, you get to watch this creepy fly on a pill...so much better, hey??)


5. Wiener dog! It's so cute and little and I think I need one right now :3 Every wiener dog should probably come with the appropriately sized bun costume to...
1. stay warm (totally logical right?)
2. look completely adorable (the real reason)

So how's February going so far? What're YOU liking this friday??

Bye for meow :)!

Soooo yes

It's the weekend! Fine fellow is back and we're getting gussied up and heading OUT (to a YSA activity...because we're cool like that).

5 Things Friday
Best things about the weekend edition!

1. You generally get to sleep in (not if you work or go to church really...) and sleeping is awesome. No alarms = the good life.

2. There's generally a reason to get all purdied up. During the week I usually have absolutely no motivation nor reason.

3. Being able to relax a little bit...Not worry so much about schedules and business and such (unless you work...wow, working really ruins your life...).

4. Doing something fun! Weekends are usually a time to do something exciting that you don't normally do! (or in our case, head to a YSA activity ;) ).

5. Potentially see people you don't really get to see during the week, or even splurge a little more on what you eat ;)

(the fine fellow also mentioned that traffic isn't so terrible during rush hour on the weekend...especially in the morning! When I head to work Saturday morning, it's smooth sailing) :3

Anyways, off I fly...enjoy your weekend!

What're YOUR plans?? ;)

Ciao for meow :)!

Merry Christmas Baby!

So here we are... at Friday :D FINALLY! It feels like it took a while to get here, but it really wasn't all that terrible. (I guess...). So the sweet weekend has arrived!
What're your weekend plans??

I would tell you mine :D, but then I'd have to kill you ._. Just kidding, but I'll tell you about them tomorrow (not that they're exciting...I just wouldn't have anything to talk about tomorrow if I told you now). Anyways, tonight I was planning on having a major gym session (because basically, I have nothing better to do on a Friday night) HOWEVER I happened to forget my bag with all my work out business in it in my room...at home... :( oh noes. And I won't go home and to the gym after as that's too much driving for my likings. So it appears as though an 'at-home' work out is in order! So that is what I shall do! And then I will attack the house with cleaning supplies and win! And finally I don't work on Saturday so I get to sleep in :D! HOORAY!

So here we are on the 16th with 9 days til Christmas! Ah!
On the 4th day of Christmas a Trudy gave to youuuuuuu, 4 awesome nut trays, 3 french toast, 2 candy canes and a nice, warm, fuzzy toque :3 (it was hard to think of a 4th actually, I don't even know why...)

(because I didn't get a picture up yesterday...and french toast is delicious)

(at first glance I thought it said Merman...it made me smile...)
(PS. Times this picture by 4 ;) )

AND 5 THINGS FRIDAAAAYYYYY
Christmas Music Edition

I'm going to mention I found this one VERY difficult as I love basically all Christmas music! So this is just a list of one's I've been liking lately, but keep in mind...I love it all ;)

1. You may or may not recall this one from last year, but I love Merry Christmas Baby sung by Bruce Springsteen! It's just so good and fun to sing to! And I've had it stuck in my head for basically 2 days straight...send help, and I'll sing them Merry Christmas Baby ;D

2. All I Want For Christmas Is You...It's not an amazing song or anything, but it's just so catchy! Especially Mariah Carey's version which is on the radio at least once a day. So I've heard it a lot lately and it's just catchy, enough said.

3. The Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth... I've heard this song soooo much but I never knew who sung it! And when I looked it up, it all made sense! No wonder I loved it! It's David Bowie :D (And Bing Crosby is just a classic). If you'll recall I talked about David Bowie in this post ;)

4. Oh, Holy Night. Has always been one of my all time favorite songs (Christmas or not, it's so good!). It's just such a powerful song to me. And so so pretty! I didn't have a favorite cover of this song, so I just youtubed to see what came first! Celine Dion, sounds good to me! (After Celine was Josh Groban and Mariah Carey).

5. So I actually couldn't think of a 5th, so I'm going to tie it between 3 songs.

• The Christmas Song - I'm most familiar with Celine Dion's version...but I'm sure there's tons of great covers! (This video has a bunch of Christmasy pictures!)
• Carol of the Bells - Hey, I figured if I posted anyone it may as well be some MoTab! (Mormon Tabernacle Choir). Although if we're on MoTab you should also look up Handel Messiah's "For Unto Us" - soooo goood~!
• River - by Joni Mitchell. It's just a pretty emotional song. Not all that joyful, but still a good song. (It was even on the Christmas Episode of Glee :D Don't hurt me...)

Remember to keep in mind that I basically love it all! So what do you figure? What're your favorite Christmas songs??

You should definitely be getting into the Spirit of Christmas by now ;) And if you aren't, well then it's your own fault!

Have a good weekend! (you'll be hearing from me again soon...getting sick of me yet?? Hmmmm?)

Ciao for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- Some of you definitely know this about me...but I basically bruise like a peach. Frequently I'm covered in bruises and I have no idea where they come from, then again I am a heavy sleeper D: (I don't mean anything by that, don't be gross). And I have no idea where this thought came from, but it's a good thing it's supposed to be random ;)
PS. Christmasy hey?? :D

Yep

So Friday and the weekend are here. Though it doesn't really feel like the weekend because I work tomorrow :< but yay for money I suppose...especially nice around Christmas.
Day 9, 16 days til Christmas. It seems to be coming pretty quickly!

So do you remember a while back web I talked about Behind Sapphire?? (refer to these posts :) :( ;/ )
Anyways, they're back on tour to promote their new songs and this is short notice but they'll be in Lethbridge tonight and they'll be playing at The Slice, so if you have a chance...check them out!
Then they'll be playing a show here in Calgary on Saturday night and here's be a link to the details for that! {{LINK}}

I realized this link might not work for you! And if it doesn't, here's the address:

1119 10 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2G 0S8 (called The Area)
And it'll be going from about 7 to 10.

I haven't heard their new stuff but I do know they're really good and so much fun! Seriously, check em out! For realz...

Hmm I guess it's time for another 5 Things Friday..."Things that are nice about it being snowy out...I guess" Edition!

1. Sledding! If there's a good hill and it's not too cold out and there's not a bajillion kids in the way, then sledding is awesome! :D

2. Snowboarding! I've only been once, and I remember doing many face plants and being disgustingly sore after/the next day...but I also remember it being a lot of fun!

3. To be honest...it does look really pretty out when everything is covered in white! (though it's also pretty when it's green and there's flowers and such...)

4. An excuse to let the animals/pets in for the cold :D save all the things! ( a lot of you won't get that...don't worry about it). Sadly there's been no strays hanging around my door and I have no pets of my own to let in from the cold
:< Save all the hobo's? :D?

5. Bundling up, staying warm, cuddling by the fire, whatever! It's all awesome and should be done with hot chocolate near by ;)

And I'm throwing in the towel and I say good day. ;)

Toodles for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I love hot chocolate :D (And Chai Tea Latte's from Starbucks...) But really! Hot chocolate is delicious! Have you tried making it with mint tea water? Or with a candy cane in there? Well do it! (If you like mint...).

P.S. Did you notice the color?? :D (I had to come on my computer to link all of these up for you! Be grateful... ;l)

Bye!

Day 2!

So here I am...day 2...23 days til Christmas. And that's basically all I have to say. Seriously D: ...

Hmm, well, the weekend is here - yay! And I guess I could do a 5 things Friday? But what on...what on I say?!?!..?!..!(?)


5 Things Friday...warmth edition!
The best sources of heat..
1. Snuggling! Let's be serious, snuggles are awesome.
2. Fire, sire. Love fires...especially fireplaces inside homes in the winter. So delightfulsome :)
3. Sun! The sun is glorious...which is why I love summer, but alas it's not always around ;(
4. Blankies. Cozy cozy blankets. I could lay in bed allllll day just to stay cozylicious. (also layers and/or sweatpants and such)
5. Heaters in the home. Well...they do what they're supposed to. When I was younger, I used to hover by the heat vent for warmth. But my favorites have always been fire and blankies!

What's your favorite method of getting warm??

And that's it for today! Keep it real and all that.

Toodles for meow ;)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I hate socks! I know they're very nice and helpful for keeping you warm...but they make me feel so...confined D: I used to go around barefoot everywhere, and I still wear flip flops for as long as possible.
That's it, that's all.

On Disney and the likes...

So ya...basically this post is on Disney (because it's awesome). I've always loved Disney Stores....I loved Disneyland and want to go back sooooo badly!... and I love Disney movies!

So this brings me toooooooooo.......(drums are rolling)

5 Things Friday
Favorite Disney Movies Edition~!

1. Can anyone who knows me guess my favvvoooriiiteee? Here's a hint "I am Yao, King of the rock..."

Muullllaaaaannnn :D

It's so fantastic! And so amusing :') Especially Mushu!

2. "Tarzan, Jane, Tarzan" Tarzan is fantastic! Sure it's a bunch of Phil Collins music...but it works! Because it's so fabulous! I find this one to be quite funny! Especially the part with Jane and the little monkey. If you're a fan...you know what part I mean...



3. "Zero to hero in no time flat. Zero to hero - just like that *snap*" Hercules! Has such a fantastic soundtrack! And it's just ridiculous...Pain and Panic pretty well make the humor.... And of course The Titans (when they're going the wrong way! ya? no? ok...)



4. Beauty and the Beast. This one actually shocked me....
I was like "hmmm...what's my 4th?"
Head said "Beauty and the Beast".
Me "What?? Really?? Well then..."
What can I say? It's a classic! Gaston is marvelous. The Beast is...Beastly? And this one is a gooder for music as well!

Dude! He's huge! And much better looking in non-beast form...unless you're into that whole beastly thing.... ._.

5. Last (however certainly not least) on my list has GOT to be 101 Dalmatians. If you knew me at all growing up (which most/maybe none of you did...) then you'd know I LOVED 101 Dalmatians! I love cats and dogs and I always had a soft spot for this one. (Yes I had seemingly hundreds of those little toys from McDonalds at some point...) This one isn't overly humerous...but it's just so dang cute!

Awwwwweeeeee~!

Now don't get me wrong... I love almost all Disney movies! And some movies worthy of mentioning would be: Aladdin, Lion King, The Little Mermaid, The Aristocats, Lady and the Tramp, The Fox and the Hound, Pocahontas, Oliver and Company. A couple more recent ones that I want to mention are: Enchanted, TRON Legacy, Bolt, and Tangled! And then there's a few Pixar's...(mainly Finding Nemo).

So basically, I love Disney movies! Especially the old classics! They had fantastic story lines and soundtracks. Disney is still coming out with some pretty good movies...but they're just not quite the same... (especially the music...)

ANYWAYS! SO! I seemingly have one awesome follower who left me a delightfully long comment which reeeaaaadddd...

Nani said...

So here's a question for you: if you could have any disney character as a sibling, who would it be and why?

Annnnd! If you could marry any disney prince-type guy, who would you marry? And why? How many babies would you have?

Also! If your disney sibling wanted to take your children away to raise them in disneyland to be learn how to be proper disneyfolks would you let them?

Okay you don't need to answer the last question, that would never happen anyway - your disney sibling would never get custody.

Any my response would beeeeee....

Any Disney character as a sibling - well, do animals count?? Because then I would want basically all of the Dalmations and/or Mushu from Mulan. If it has to be a human I would probably go with Tarzan - he'd likely make an excellent older brother! He's very handy, strong, and amusing! And he could protect me from the many ravenous monkies :D

My ideal Disney prince man - Since I shouldn't say Tarzan again... and picking Tramp (from Lady and the Tramp) is probably a little strange... I'm going to pick the Beast! {PS...Does Beast have a real name??} Beast seems all scary and angry and hairy and sharp teeth...and abusive....he's totally a BA (yes...badassery...)! But really he just wants to be loved and he becomes a softy and is all generous and just protective. Plus, he gets better looking in the end! Babies eh... uhh............ *scratches head* 2 should suffice? A Beast Jr (female) and of course a Trudy Jr (male)!

And as for the last question - I have no problem with the kids being taken away to be raised in Disneyland...but I'm coming too! ;l

Alright - that's all we have time for folks! Thanks for coming out, and thanks Nani for the participaction! Until next time... Trudy Sr signing out ;)

Ciao for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- Soooo when I was a wee lass (Ok til I was in my mid teens likely -.-), I would sleep with a stuffed dog named Rolly :D I still have Rolly and love him so. I eventually replaced Rolly with a pillow because APPARENTLY sleeping with a stuffed animal isn't "cool" in your teenhood... ;l I also slept with a ratty old housecoat that I called blanky. Good day!

Take that blog!

WOW! World of Warcraft. What do I have to say about it? Nothing...I don't even really know what it is... :l
Let's start over.

Wow! Ok, hello. It's been a little bit. I've been busy! And my last blog experience was basically wretched because it kept changing size and crap :< I'm the master of the blog! ME!

(hehe...awesome! It's a cat on a throne if you didn't get it...)

*cough* Anyways...so I've started about...6(?)ish blogs since the last one. I get bored and give up really easily! HELP ME DD: What happened to all those good people (Leinani) who would comment all the time and ask questions for me to answer?!? But yes, I've been busy. But I'll try to stick to this blog and post it, though you never know. There's still time for me to give up (though I feel that cat needs to be seen). So if nothing else, you should at least be seeing an awesome cat here.

So Thanksgiving weekend is almost here! Are you ready for your feast? Mmm....feast....*drool*
I love Thanksgiving dinner. A lot. So I am most definitely excited :D Any other big plans for the long weekend people??
Thanksgiving gets me thinking...what am I thankful for? TURN OF EVENTS! OH! I was going to do a different 5 Things Friday...but I just realized that I CLEARLY have to do a "Thanksgiving" Edition. Sooooo here we go.

5 Things Friday
Thanksgiving Edition

I am thankful foooorrrrrrr....
1. FOOD! Seriously. Food is awesome (and also necessary for survival). Think of all those delicious things out there. I would eat all the time if it wouldn't make me morbidly obese :< Though I eat as much as I can ;)

2. Family. Some of my best memories are with my family. I think my family is pretty fantastic and I know they would do basically anything for me. (And I would do the same for them). I love you!

3. Friends. The rest of my best memories are with friends. Family creates almost an insta-bond, but some friendships require a bit more work. (Some just kind of happen pretty easily, which is nice...but anyways...). When you think about it, {GOOD} friendships are kind of difficult to find. Although you're generally pretty trusting of your family, how do you know if you can trust a friend? Where does the bond build from? And that's enough of a rant on friends. Friends I love you. Thanks for standing by me.

4. F...{dang it, no more} Health. I'm so so thankful I haven't really had health issues in my life (knock on wood). I have a body that I can push and enjoy working out in. I don't really have many things holding me back. I don't get sick all that often and I truly am thankful for that. Go body!

5. Freedom. (HA! I thought of another one!) Canada (although it has pretty crappy weather... especially in Alberta) is a pretty fantastic country. We're pretty free to do as we please and it really is a very beautiful and spacious place. Canada I love you. And life - you are delightful.

Now I know this is a pretty lame list that I'm sure most people can relate to...but we all have our own stories and reasons behind why. I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend, and don't forget to make your "Thanksgiving Edition" lists. ;) What're you thankful for?

Ciao for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I love turkey! And stuffing! And mashed potatoes! And gravy! And going into a food coma... Such a delicious food coma...

(I'm not sure what's with the cat theme...just kind of happened)

(Awe~! I hope it's ok... D: )

And since I'm on the cat theme still...you should check out this video! It's rather amusing :D

And on a final note, here's a picture of me as you haven't seen one in a while.
(Courtesy of Strongbad)
Anonymity is key ;)

I say good day.

If you fall...I may catch you

The only relation the title has to the post, is that it's the first day of Fall or Autumn...or something. And you know what, I'm going to embrace Fall with open arms! Sadly, my putting up a fight won't hinder it's arrival. So come here buddy - give me a hug! (But so help me, if you bring Winter soon...I'll get you ._.)

This amused me :D-------------------->

Anyways...Fall really isn't so bad. The main thing I dislike about it, is that Winter generally follows along pretty quickly. And I just hate driving in the winter :< (Scary!) And we all know that I'm not a fan of being cold. (Well...I know it anyways...) And if you didn't know, here's a poem to sum up my feelings.

*ahem*
Cold, cold - Go away.
I hate you, and you are gay (synonymial to lame).

And there you have it.

And here you have this! *drumroll*

{5 Things} Friday (from technically yesterday because I didn't get a chance to finish...)
Things I like about Fall (edition?)

1. The Colors! Red, orange, yellow, brown. All so pretty...all so warm :) Don't get me wrong, I love the green in Spring and Summer...but by the time Fall gets here, you're (I'm) ready for the change.

2. All the leaves. I love walking in an area with a lot of trees... and leaves are just falling everywhere. It's quite peaceful if I do say so myself. I don't know, I'm one of those people that enjoys the beauty in nature. Hope you do too :) (And moving on from that lame fest...)

Along with that note...leaves are fantastic for jumping in! I haven't done it in...well...a long long while. But lets be serious - everyone enjoys a good leaf jump fiesta. Or they should anyways.
(Not a big fan of the whole raking element though...)

3. The festive spirit that comes and builds up until Christmas. You know what I'm talking about?
Along with fall comes...
curling up and cuddling under a blanket
getting to bundle up in sweaters, scarves, boots and the likes
hot chocolate/apple cider season begins ;) (ok...in my books these are condoned all year round. as is ice cream. good day.)
baked goods (also all year round...but you know what I mean right?)
getting dark earlier equates to going to bed earlier :D (ok...sometimes :P)
and many many more!

What better way to sum up festive fall spirit than a... festive smiling acorn? :D
(Trust me...I tried...)

4. Crisp air. I don't know what it is...there's something nice about the crisp air that fall brings. It's refreshing and actually a nice change after the Summer months (Summer I still love you...).
The only bad thing, is it generally also means the air is getting more dry (thus resulting in my nose leaking read fluid... or just leaking more in general).

(intense lighting for a box of kleenex, hey?

5. Last and certainly not least... Halloween and me birthday :D
Not that I've really been into dressing up or anything lately, and I stopped trick or treating a loooonnnnngggg long time ago (I went until I was 18... -.- ). But it's just such an exciting time...full of deliciously fattening things. And hello! Pumpkin carving and such!
(WARNING: I am biased as my birthday and Halloween are so close...)
Anyways, 'nuff said...it's awesome.

(This picture reminds me of Nightmare Before Christmas...I haven't seen that in a long while)

And here I leave you with a massive fro...

Apparently this chick holds the world record for her fro. Her hair is over 4 feet long! How would you see?!??

And now I bring this post to a close... What're your thoughts on Fall? What's on your list?

Toodles for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- Yes, I actually did trick or treat until I was 18 (or rather, my last year was when I was 18). It's been a long past 3 years ;<

PS...the font size in this post was possessed... seriously D': It took me sooo long to make it look even somewhat normal :(

Cheese and Cracker break

Yes, I'm actually having a cheese and cracker break... and yes, I'm 5 years old (3 to be more exact...).

Sooo yea, I was going to do a 5 Things Friday...but then I didn't feel like it. In your face lame followers that probably don't even follow me!

• 1. Watermelon is better than cantaloupe
• 2. Old is the best of the cheddars
• 3. 2% chocolate milk is much more delicious and creamy than 1%
• 4. Soy milk is surprisingly pretty decent...and almond milk! (And together they equal creamy and delicious)
• 5. Baby carrots are addicting, but they're not near as good as "real" carrots

Well...now that I've lost all respect for myself... I leave you with this demon cat video. Meow.

Peace out, enjoy your weekend yo.

Ciao for meow :)!

Clearly someone had their mind on food today...

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- When I was younger, I used to think that eating cucumbers and cheese together...tasted like tater tots. (I'm not even going to try and make that sound better... I know it's weird)

5 Things Friday?? Perhapsies?

(This is late due to my computer being sick in the brain >_>)
Well hello all you fine folklings...
Happy Friday! (and Thursday was pretty good as well if I do say so myself).

Shout out to Strongbad who's back for a few weeks...thanks for the cookies ;) Totally scrumptious...

SO! Today is Mami's Birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY :D So shout out to her as well - you're awesome! We have tons of fun living together...get along so well and we just have a nice system that works quite nicely ^^

This 5 Things Friday will be about Birthday's! (seems suiting?)

5 Things Friday
Birthday Edition

1. Ok, well this one's a given. CAKE! Sweet sweet, delicious cake! So I'll be making Mami's cake, and hopefully it lives up to both of our expectations! (I'll let you know how it goes). {And of course, ice cream slips in with this category as well ;> } Calories don't count on your birthday - YAY!!!(This one has SNOOPY ON IT!?!? :O! Awesome...)

(This cat knows what it's talking about...)

2. Having a day where the attention is on you! (well hopefully)! Doesn't necessarily have to be the whole day, but some extra attention is nice sometimes ;)

(What the heck?!? I googled "all about me" and this popped up?? Conceited dog...)

3. Ok lets be serious.... we all like some gifts every now and then. Not necessarily big expensive things, but some thought filled ones or HEY even a nice lunch? :) It just kind of adds a bit of excitement! And of course the random cards with nice thoughts and little drawings and such!


4. All jokes aside, I think it's nice to get a year older. Although it's slightly saddening growing up, it's all a part of life. It gives you a chance to step back and evaluate where you're at and where you're headed (I do this more at my birthday than New Year's personally). And lets face it, every year we're growing in some way...whether it be emotionally, intellectually, spiritually or even physically.

(this had nothing to do with anything really...it just amused me) :D

5. And best of all...getting to hear from/hang out with all the people who truly love or care about you! Remembering someone's birthday makes them feel happy - 'nuff said :P

(And on that lame note...I'll call it a post...)

I'll give a few more details about Mami's birthday another day ;)

Ciao for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- Naps and me...just don't really seem to work. Yesterday I had a nap (it was an accident) and then I slept terribly (as in not at all) last night. *sigh* No naps for me :(

Five Things Friday!

5 Things Friday
Things that make me happy...

1. Well this one is pretty obvious. Take one guess. Ice Cream. Seriously though, it's just so good! And lately I've been having vanilla with Heath (from the U.S. {brought back from Texas} similar to Skor) crushed up into it. The delicious chemistry that occurs is just...yum. 'Nuff said.


2. Sun! If the sun is shining, that day is almost guaranteed to be better. The sun brings warmth, which brings happy/relaxing thoughts (to my head anyways), which brings happiness overall!

3. Sleep :). Glorious glorious sleep. Can influence the next day a LOT. Good sleep = good day (usually)

4. Helping others feel happy. This may sound silly but focusing on someone else helps take your mind off of bad things going on with you. In my case anyways ;)

(this picture also made me happy :D)

5. My new ASUS Eee Tab :D Basically, it's like an iPad...but better because I've got it ;) Soooo that's it, that's all folks! Other things make me happy but this is what came to mind today ;)

Ciao for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- So it was just reaffirmed to me that I'm a wee bit of a piggy... a lot of food could (and almost did) make this list -.- haha!

So another major thing that makes me happy is music! Especially this song - Arcade Fire...you're awesome.

Behind Sapphire & 5 Things Friday :D

Alright, I may as well make at least ONE more post about Behind Sapphire. SO I (and Strongbad) got to hang out with them one more time before they left Calgary. (Which included Tubby Dog and Bubble Tea!) I even tried a couple of the Dogs...(as in one bite of 2 kinds)....1. Sumo Dog(?) with seaweed, some sort of ginger, and I don't even know what else. 2. Peanut Butter, Jam, and Captain Crunch (yes on a hot dog). What I'm going to say - they were interesting ;)
I did however get myself a Bubble Tea (as per a suggestion from Steven {drums}) of Mango Peach with pearls. It was pretty scrump :D!
Then we went back out (to Strongbad's aunt and uncle's place) to watch a movie. We had in mind to watch O Bother, Where Art Thou, but well... that just was not in the cards apparently! So instead, Brayden {bass} made the executive decision that we'd watch How To Train Your Dragon (as he hadn't yet seen it). As you may or may not remember from this post, I was a big fan of the movie... BUT I seemed to use Steven as a pillow for half the movie anyways ;)

Tuesday (not to mention car problems) I ended up going to Stampede with BK, Strongbad, White China, Francesca, & Francesca's squeeze {haha...still no rundown or new name yet ;)}. Anyways, it was my first Stampede experience - and it was a lot of fun! There were good rides, good eats, and good times (even after it started raining near the end). Highlights from the venture... 1. Starship 4000 {an anti-gravity type ride} - at the end of the night the guy running the ride would let us stand up and flip upside down and such. So fun! Except he kept leaving the "control board" and coming to talk to me(?) Weird.... ._.
2. Lemonade! I love getting the lemonade at these things. It's so tasty!
3. New toe ring! (I don't think you need a description on that...)
4. Missing soccer to stay later at Stampede! (for shamesies on me). >:3
5. The motocross show. These guys do absolutely INSANE things, I would die...seriously.

AND on to Wednesday. Strongbad {at the wheel}, Francesca and myself headed down to the Bridge to see Behind Sapphire perform an actual set live. Matt {guitar} was kind of difficult to track down ;), SO we ended up hanging out with my parents for a few hours. We had dinner, played cards, talked - fun times.
Then finally it was time to head to the Owl Acoustic Lounge! And it was so good! Such a high energy performance with great songs. I even bought a CD - yay! (Yes, I'm a groupy...but they're really talented!)
We then got to hang out with them for a while after the performance...help take down, help Steven play Tetris to get all of their equipment and things shoved in the back of the van, help Grant {vocals} eat some peaches ;), and then say good bye :(.
It was so sad that it was finally over. You guys are absolutely fantastic, and I cannot wait until I get to see you again! {Miss you!}
And for all those reading out there...if you haven't checked them out yet, do it now!
Here's the link to their page again. Or just YouTube them! I promise it's worth your time.
My favorite songs arrreeee...... 1. Lest Ye Stay
2. Oh My, What A Fine Day
3. Christmas Nigh
4. Nearer My God To Thee
5. Just their little videos. They're quite amusing ;)
(It was the best reason to be up til 4 and get up at 7:30 for work the next day...I think)

So...I've already had 2 mini lists of 5 things. But I decided I'm going to do an actual 5 Things Friday list (as you may have seen on other bloggy mcbloginsteins). The theme of this week will be music.

5 Things Friday
Music Edition

1. Well because I've been talking a lot about Behind Sapphire lately, I should definitely share at least one of theirs. This is probably my favorite song (you'll need to turn it up a bit as it is a recording from a live show). But they do have some songs on YouTube that are better quality ;)

Note: As you may notice...there are a lot of people in the band at that time. Their band is kind of ever changing. But Matt, Grant, and Steven are pretty core members I'd say. Brayden isn't in the video...but he's awesome nonetheless ;)

2. I actually found this just recently. And I find especially this song amusing because she sounds so similar to Nicki Minaj (P.S. I'm not saying I'm a huge fan or anything :P). I kind of think this cover is better than the original though :X. I also checked out a few of her other songs...but she sounds like...well kind of like an annoying rapping girl in all of them. She's definitely got some skills, just saying I'm not the biggest fan of all of her covers. She has some originals as well if you want to check those out ;)

**SIDENOTE** I would post the actual videos on here for all of these....But I don't know how to put up more than one D: (And I just figured out how to put just one up today). Help me??
**RETURN**

3. I have no idea why I thought of this song today.... But Shout by Tears for Fears is my #3.
I don't have any story behind it, nor reasoning for picking it. Basically, it just sounds amusing to me.

4. Metric! We were listening to one of their CD's on the way to the Bridge. I have a few favorites (Help I'm Alive, Dead Disco, Sick Muse and more), but I decided to post a link to Gold Guns Girls. I've only really been familiar with Metric for....probably the past couple years. So I'm still working on familiarizing myself with them.

5. When I mentioned Sick Muse (by Metric), it reminded me of the band Muse. My favorite song by them would likely be Uprising, though Knights of Cydonia is pretty good as well. Muse probably isn't one of my favorite bands, but well...they popped into my head and therefore make the list!

Now this has been long, so I'm calling it quits! (Seriously....half {if not all} of you probably passed out 5 minutes ago)...

Au revoir for meow:)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- Often times, when I sing along with music...I don't even realize I'm doing it! I don't know if that would be considered skilled, or simply just thoroughly annoying (though either way, I think it's still skills) ;) Toodles!
