1. can I still talk about how amazing California was? because I really did love literally every single second. cliche “you can take the girl out of the west coast but you can’t take the west coast out of the girl” quote? yup. the only down side is that one week with one of your best friends just isn’t enough!
2. one of my bestest guy friends flew in this morning for the cfl combine - I see this kid twice a year at best and the last time was in June. needless to say, I am super duper excited!
3. another friend of mine is here from vancouver and I haven’t seen him since 2007! we caught up and had lunch today and it makes me happy that it felt very normal.
4. I have one presentation and two essays until finals! I am looking forward to finals because it means summer.
5. speaking of summer, I’m way too excited for its arrival! fingers crossed for an internship but if all fails, helllooo backpacking and working in europe for a summer!
6. I am just happy. with everything. skype dates with two of my best girlfriends this weekend, seeing the lorax with one of my favourite toronto girls tonight, shopping tomorrow, attempting to make our own aloe mojitos with my cousin - the tiniest of things make me very happy.
7. ALSO one of my bestest vancouver girls is seriously debating a visit toronto in May. make that two of them, actually! too good. two good? har har.
8. AND MY SISTER - MY FREAKING SISTER - IS COMING IN APRIL. THE GREATEST :)

I was worried because when I first got back from LA I was in a slump. one does not just go from 25C and sunny, and skydiving and Disneyland, and constant best friend time 24/7 for a week to -10C, school work and interviews without missing a beat. somewhere between the 5 hour flight from Cali back to Toronto, I lost some… pizazz, if you will. it was like I was loving life, riding a freaking rainbow kind of happy, to drowning. now that I’ve had a week to get myself back together, I’m finally resurfaced (wow, I can really keep this drowning metaphor going) and excited about life again. whew.

a little shoutout to gabbynotesbook@tumblr for her “fan mail” - so sweet, I loved it! xox

I have a new theme! can anyone believe it? only took me a lifetime (or almost a year) to finally give up my old one… and I already kind of miss it. I do not deal well with options - talk about first world problems.

on a less trivial note, there has been SO much going on in my life recently hence the lack of reblogging frenzy on my end. the bad news is that I miss my dashboard so much, the good news is that I have so much I’d like to blog about… then again, it’s so much I feel a bit overwhelmed and that could be why I’ve been avoiding tumblr too. yikes. who does that?

that said, hopefully I’ll be back and reblogging photos of puppies, fashion, accessories, wanderlust locations, and other miscellaneous and gorgeous but otherwise useless pictures. maybe even another text post on what’s been going on with me.

I hope the first month has treated you all beautifully and the gray weather hasn’t been keeping people in the slumps. Oh, and happy Chinese new year!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. I just want to dance around! and I did a little. I also got a delicious hot chocolate to celebrate :) tonight I’m celebrating with my friends, half for end of exams and half for a friends birthday and then it’s going to be alone time. no, I’m serious - my cousin is flying home tomorrow morning (she’s also my roommate) and I think everyone else who doesn’t live in downtown Toronto has already gone. soo… it’s just me, my movies, and my to-be-stocked kitchen until I leave for Paris! and here are a list of things I’m going to do to keep myself busy:

• buy Sandy’s list of things for me to bring to Paris!
• watch New Years Eve - I’ve never seen a movie alone and I kind of want to try it. I do have a few friends who want to see it though… but again, I want to try the movie alone thing.
• go to Winners. magical place
• maybe go ice skating if it’s not super cold!
• watch a lot of movies
• have a 30 rock marathon until I’m done. perfect timing for the new season!
• clean my room. already fairly clean but I feel obligated to put it on the list
• I have no idea what else I’m going to do. try new recipes?

IDEAS, please! thank you my friends :)

4. the massive number of Beyonce lyrics tweets #thankyoubeyoncetrend
5. I didn’t have to leave my student card anywhere in order to get the office keys. which means I don’t have to go back to exchange it with someone else’s student cards. heck ya:)
6. sushi with my friend jaryd after my ONE lecture today. double whammy.
7. that cam, one of my favouritest people ever, is going to start using skype & added me last night. and we are going to skype with our red starbucks cup & pretend like it’s our usual coffee date. another double whammy, no big.
8. I could wear keds/flats today and my ankles might not even hate me. that’s just nice.

I’ll stop at 8, 10 seems too cliche.

oh but I also am seeing my little emily today and that makes my heart happy too :)

I Would Do Anything For You | Foster the People

it’s like I want to ride on a rainbow, go dancing in the rain, scream from a mountain top, go do everything and laze around and do nothing all at the same time. I want to feel the grass tickle my back and watch clouds drift by and I want to have a picnic where ants make a guest appearance and I want to go swinging as high as I can and spin around in circles. I want to pet all the puppies on the street because they’re so happy and I want to say hi to everyone and make sure everyone is having a good day. it’s like there’s a rainbow inside of me, just shining and being all colourful and like hey, let me out. I just want to hug everyone and I want to paint the town red and dance the night away and I want to thank everyone who has made me feel this way. thank you. this is the best gift I’ve ever gotten.

if this isn’t going to make your morning, nothing will (but maybe an extra large coffee and then this picture?)
