Idea

Ask me something. Or tell me something. It can be anonymous or not, it doesn’t matter. I have an idea, but I need your secret thoughts. Think of it sort of like PostSecret mixed with Honesty Box mixed with art. Now, go!

I kind of suck at keeping an online routine..

It’s been forever since I’ve updated much of anything online and I kept saying to myself how I would work harder at doing so.  /Fail. 

Well going back for my next semester may compell me to.  We’ll see..  Keeping an online life is difficult when you’re busy living your real one to the fullest you can.

#warningmaycontaincoarselanguage

It’s “Banksy” motherfuckers.

Ok, so here’s the deal. I’m going to school right now, and all of my professors absolutely INSIST on spelling it “Banksey” (“ey” instead of just “y”). Now, if you google search him and go to his website he, in fact, spells it “Banksy”! In his work, on his site, in his books.
Now, for those of you who don’t really know what I’m talking about, google him, he’s an awesome artist out of the UK. Go ahead, google him, I’ll wait….
Waiting…
Waiting…
Ok, got it? Good. Now you see what I’m talking about?! Like, how do you fuck that up? Where did this phantom “e” come from? Your ass? No, no, not you, the other people. Them, in the back. Yeah that group of professors standing back there. Them!
Seriously, you get pissed that we get *our* facts wrong and don’t do enough research?!?! WHAT?!? But…but…but…. How dare you!! *enraged!* I’m going to start being annoying, insistent, persistent and very very vocal about these things IN class from now on.
…
…
…
Ok, now that I’ve got that off my chest I’d like to address all my potential profs out there and say I don’t blame you, I blame the educational system which has obviously blatantly failed you. It’s ok to not know how to do your research correctly, it’s not your fault, obviously you weren’t prepared properly by your high school teachers. I understand.
…
But FOR FUCK SAKES, it’s called GOOGLE!

Zombie Walk

So I went to Vancouver Zombie Walk 2011 yesterday and had an absolute blast!  I’m continuously amazed at the plethora of zombie costume ideas that turn up.  There were Ghostbusters, minecraft zombies, RCMP zombies, Umbrella Corporation, Left For Dead zombies, zombie faeries, wedding parties fending off zombies, pregnant zombies, zombie super heros, zombie Santa, ZOMBIE JESUS!! (<— FOR REALS!)

I dressed up as a schoolgirl zombie, yes, yes, I know.  How uninventive and predictable of me.  In my defence, it was friggin’ hot out and my other costume option was military zombie, including full length camo pants and high leather boots…just, no.  As part of my outfit I had a character backpack (Jack Skellington doll backpack).  Now, for the most part my experience this year was on par with last as far as how much more polite zombies are in comparison to the living.  However, I was very upset that a few of my fellow zombies were intentionally trying to put a bloody handprint on Jack.  Now, I know the general rule is: don’t take anything you wouldn’t be ok getting blood on.  But the fact that this was *INTENTIONAL* is what upset me.  I know this, because I felt them touching it and turned around and saw them doing so, thinking they were merely curious.  It wasn’t until the end of the walk that I realized what they had actually been trying to do. :(

Fellow zombies, I am disappoint.

Anyway, other than that single experience, it was a fabulous, zombie-filled day.  We wound down at the beach, in the shade, with good friends, fellow zombies and BRAAAAAAIN FREEEEZE!  (A.k.a.: a Slurpee.)

Thanks to all who made it possible and an extremely enjoyable experience!

Error 404: Online life not found.

I’ve felt so disconnected from the online community lately; Twitter, YouTube, deviantArt, tumblr.  And I’ve been thinking for so long; “Yeah, I need to get back at it and reconnect with people online, vent a little, get some ideas going, get the creativity going again.”  It’s summer, I should have had plety of time to get back into the swing of things, but I haven’t. 

I can make excuses, like work, heavy social life, “not having time”…  But I need to start making time, for everything.  People think it’s somewhat weird sometimes, that I actually book weeks ahead to hang out with people.  It’s purely so that I can stay on top of what I need to do, what I still have to get done, and don’t over do it or forget about what I have to do when, and with whom.  It’s sounds strange, even to myself, but somedays I feel like I need to schedule time to sit down and plan out how I schedule my time.  Ridiculous?  Probably.  Being completely honest with you?  You bet your ass.

So right now, I’m sitting here, typing to whom-so-ever-reads-this online, (obviously) and figuring out a day when I can sit down and just plan out my next 6 months.  School, work, social time, romance time, project time.  When my deadlines for each project I’m working on will be and how I can get myself to focus and meet these deadlines.  And actually take them seriously.  ‘Cause, y’know, you set yourself goals all the time, (how many New Years resolutions have you actually come through on?  Be honest now!) but how do we manage to stick to them? 

[This is the part where I say: “If anyone has any advice or things that work for them, drop me a line and let me know!]

So this is me; making time.  It’s so peculiar, we often think of people who live solely online as having no lives at all, but I’ve felt so disconnected by not maintaining any kind of online life this past while.  I’ve been out there living, but have forgotten about the networks I enjoy here on the mystical interwebs. 

So, guess what? 

I’m baaaaack!  :)
