I hate it when I have so much to say and can't say it.
Because I have too much to put in here, my vlog post of 100 is going to be put aside. As Jenny said, that can be used for my post of 101 in tribute the the Dalmations. It's a strange reason, but I like it.
Today, my topics of choice are:
When Money Corrupts The Hearts Of Good People
a.k.a: Christmas
I haven't had much money in the past month. That is a complaint, and it's also a fact. Because of this, Christmas presents are going to be arriving at people's doors around February. Unless a miracle happens, that is. And, seeing it's the holiday's, perhaps it will. I'm hoping. Although receiving presents is amazing, and I love my friends and my family for being so kind and considerate and just plain awesome, I do feel a smidgen of douchness for not being able to give anything back. I'm doing my best to draw pictures and find cheap items, but so far it's been a challenge and I'm a bit out of luck.
Big Cities Are Best Shared Over Ice-Cream
a.k.a: Coming home
Segueing from my previous topic, I am happy to say that I am going to be home for Christmas. I'll get to see my family again, and all those friends I've only been able to talk to via Skype. However, I'm not just coming home for the holidays. I'm moving back.
Victoria is amazing. I DO love it. The temperature, the humidity, the noise, the ocean. It's all wonderful, but it's not for me. Not right now. I thought it would be fun to live by myself in a big city. Move out from the family nest and start a life all my own. A month ago, when I broke the news to my parents, I was all over it. It'd be such an adventure! Well, I wasn't wrong there, it WAS an adventure, but one I'll admit right now that I wasn't ready for. Many things contributed to the situation I find myself in, but we don't need to go into detail about them. All that matters is that I came, I tried and I'm leaving, a changed and happy individual.
On another note: travelling back is going to take SO LONG. 18 hours. Ew. Hopefully Jenny can make it for the same day as me so we can get the discount and have someone to talk to instead of being bored out of our minds.
Hand Me The Overly Used Cliches, Please
a.k.a: Modeling
About a week ago, I received a call from an old friend, Jordan Teyke, who is currently a student at the Aveda Institute of Victoria. He wanted to know if I would volunteer as his model for this demonstration lesson. I happily agreed. After a few nervous inquiries from him as to cuts and styles and lengths, I calmed him down and told him that I would be good with whatever he wanted to do. I mean, I'm 18 years old. So what if it's short or weird or another color? I can just change it, or wait for it to grow out. (My hair grows pretty fast). This pleased him to no end (he actually bragged about me to his classmates. -rolls her eyes-) and we finalized the info. Yesterday, the 12th, I went in for the appointment. We were given refreshing tea and water, checked in, and then led up flights of stairs to a massive room. There were probably around 30 hairdressers there, all lined up in rows like inspectors. We all paired off to our respective stylists then and Jordan and I had our reunion. Hugs and laughter. Following a delightful shoulder and head massage he proceeded with the cut.
A lot happened in the 3 hours that I was there, but when it was all said and done with I didn't like it. Jordan agreed. It is medium-length and cutesy and bob-ish, which all leads to a big nono from me. Not my thing. But it's okay, really. I can live with it until I get the chance to cut it again. Which, might not be too long. I'm going back for his next test on Saturday, and he says that if I still don't like it by then, his wife will give me my own personal haircut all for free. I'm very excited about that.
Fashion Changes With Every Magazine And Broken Heel
a.k.a: what I want my hairstyle to be
I've been thinking of what I want done with hair for a while now. Even before that horrible haircut. What I am leaning towards right now... meaning what I REALLY, REALLY want to do is crop it and dye it off-white. Either that or copper. Being completely serious here. I want it one of these colors (the lighter ones) or a shade of copper and then cut it like so(sides) and so(top) - one of them. (None of those are all that close to what I want, but it's good enough for now.) I'm kind of designing my own. Thoughts? I really do want it. for the excitement and the drama and the coolness factor. And I think it would look good on me. I just don't know if I would regret cutting it that short. It would take a while to re-grow, even for me. So it's a big step.
Any comments would be enjoyed. Especially since this will theoretically take place in a week.
A Difference In Who She Might Have Been
a.k.a: Me
We all know I have changed. All of us change - have changed. I think the changes in me have happened mainly in the past year. I've become more outspoken and aggressive. In bad ways and in good. My mindset has changed. Main beliefs have stayed, but a few have wavered and swayed. I think differently now and I act differently. I speak differently. These changes are most likely to stick with me for a while now - if not the rest of my life, and I'm okay with that.
I just hope everyone else is. The relationships I have with my friends are likely to change. I'm not trying to sound conceited here. "Oh, when I change everything changes". No, not like that. I'm saying it could have an effect on the relationships I have with people, and I hope they are okay with it. I don't want to lose anyone.
And In Other News
a.k.a: ...in...other news...
+ AVATAR IS COMING TO THEATERS ON FRIDAY! -love-
+ I don't think I have enough food to make it through the week. So lunches will be cut out.
+ My lips are so effing chapped they dry out my mouth, and balm doesn't seem to be doing shit for them. I miss Burts.
+ It finally snowed in Victoria. For a whole 10 MINUTES! So exciting. Gives me a very, very, very small taste of what's at home.
+ I bought chips. and Sugar crisp.
+ I wish I could fly.
+ My cell phone is bugging me in various ways. I kind of want a different one. I wonder how I could make that happen.
+ If anyone feels like sending me a virtual hug, please do so. Or if you stalk me in real life, I'd be okay with actual hugs, too.

I have so many blogs that I'm following, they don't fit on my list.
And the ones that do actually slow it down, so if a blog is updated, I don't receive the notice until like, 20 minutes later. It's horrible, I know.
Thinking more and more about this whole vlogging thing. I'm so addicted to them now. It's like, I go onto the computer and pull up YouTube. First thing, and it's weird because I've never really done that before. The sites I'm used to pulling up first are like, Twitter and Facebook, and of course Blogger, but never YouTube. That site used to be like, the music video/missed an episode of something site. And now, it's always open. Weird.
And so, vlog, right. Yes. I'm am going to vlog. You have guessed/heard/telepathically known correctly. It's going to take some getting used to, this whole talking to nobody thing, but I'm sure that once I get a few vids down it'll be a piece of cake, no problem. Oh, cake. Yum.
You know what's good? Those frozen ice-cream pizzas you can get from DQ. Yeah, ice-cream PIZZAS. They are sooo good. Smarties = best, evar. See what I did there? Just a bit of internet-amazingness with the 'a' in ever instead of the 'e'. 'Cause I'm cool like that.
When you use words like 'cause' do you make use of the apostrophe ahead of them or after? Like... o, as in "Piece o' Pie" do you do that? The little... punctuation bit? Obviously I do. It's a habit. Like not using chat speak on my mobile cellular device.
So, yes. Vlogging shall happen one of these days. Probably tomorrow, when the family is at Church and I'm home alone for half the day. What am I going do DO in them?! It's so nerve-wracking, but I'm excited for it. Should be a blast. And then I can do that for my 100th post! Aha!
Avast ye' mateys!
Bye.

98 blog posts with MySnips. To me, that's a lot.
Of course, it's not counting all the posts from my old blog elivate.blogspot.com
I don't know how many are/were on there. -goes to look-
Oh, wow. 59 posts. 157 posts in total so far. That's insane.
I'm thinking of doing something special for my the big triple digit. Not sure what exactly, but there are some ideas running around in my brain. Just have to pick the winner.
Added to bucketlist: sit in an oxygen chamber.
:>
Changing my blog name. Yes, I am. But, I'll wait for 100 before that happens.
Any name ideas?
Any blogskin ideas? Doing something different with THAT too.
----------------------------------------
Okay, so I know you're all going to think I'm crazy. And I probably am. I mean, we all know that I've always had this tiny (ie. rather protruding and disgusting) amount of drama and weirdness inside of me, but it's never really had a chance to manifest itself IRL.
Yes, I just said IRL. Have a problem with that? Take it up with Ben. He explained it rather well to me.
This craziness/insanity/random-late-night-brain-explosion caused me to laugh uproariously for no apparent reason at the family cat, who was eating and was startled and tripped me over, which is how I ended up on the floor with corn on my head, which caused me to laugh even harder, creating an echo chamber out of the rather small kitchen and invited Lisa's hair and nail clients to get up at stare at my loud, writhing, form.
Which was funny. I watched myself in my replay from out of body mind theatre and it was funny. I know this to be true.
The clients also started laughing. Good sign.
Inspiration hit me when I had regained composure and balance and I decided right then and there:
I SHOULD VLOG!
Yeah. Wow. Cool thought. So unoriginal.
But HECK YES.
So I hopped onto YouTube -insert angelic soundtrack here, maybe a halo and some cheap Twilight-esque graphics- to find some vloggers. I had seen a lovelavalive vid a looong time ago. I'm thinking I was not into that kind of thing back then, or else I would have remember it...or favorited it or someshit. But yes.
Reliving those past memories. Adding new ones. Fucking love Mitchell Davis. He and I should meet, cause I happen to think we'd do some crazy ass shit, like blow up a garbage can...with...milk, or something. And all this unecessary swearing I'm making would be smoothly edited out with pleasing sitcom sound effects. That would make me happy. The sound effects. Yes, and Mitchell too. Sure.
And that's my crazy idea.
Pretty rad, eh? EH? I thought so.
I still do.
Although, I lack distinct camera equipment. Well, any, really. Webcam from the iMac, I suppose. I'd have to learn how to use that. Oho! Adventurrrrrrrrrrrre.
So many 'r's. Ew.
Not editing it.
SO. I'm going to create a YouTube account, and then possibly/maybe/hopefully upload a vid.
Of something. Most likely me.
As it's my blog. ehe. VLOG.
WOW. what a rush.
Off to watch Star Trek.
Torrented. Just for you, Kris. Just for you.
Nobody else.
