Today has been an odd day for me. Starting with the dream I had.. I was at a concert, my seats were in the nose bleeds and as I was walking to them I was pulled forward to where I was on the verge of falling towards the stage. The floor went to such a steep angle that I was holding on for dear life. I was then in some obstacle course outdoors at a swimming pool, the object of the course was to jump from kayak to kayak without falling in the water. Every time I hit kayak no.2 I couldn't stand up due to some crazy force of gravity. I'm unsure why all of my dreams lately (now that I'm thinking about it) have had some intense form of gravity, whether it being unable to stand up straight or holding on as I'm dangling in some other direction. But its rather odd..
Gravity in the dream dictionary: To feel gravity in your dream, represents the weight and pressure you feel on you. You are feeling overwhelmed. Problems, work or stress is literally weighing you down.
Kayak: To see a kayak or go kayaking in your dream, indicates that you are emotionally well balanced. You are in tune with your feelings. Alternatively, the dream means that you are succeeding through your own willpower, determination and drive.
I have definitely hit a fork in the road as of late and I am trying to figure out the best path for me now and for my future. I know I have the drive to succeed but I tend to also be my own worst enemy at times so hopefully I make the right choices...
I think that's all for now. Just feelin' a bit off today I guess.

March 30, 2011
Almost the end of the this crazy March madness.. I'm not sure why but this year it has taken full effect. Looking forward to the spring sunshine, thank goodness we have a sample today.
I'm currently listening to the new Britney Spears album (Femme Fatale) it's pretty awesome so far, haven't yet listened to the whole thing.
I have an interview today for a serving job *fingers crossed*
The summer season is fast approaching and this year I have decided to take a stab at making my own clothes/altering pieces to my own design. I will post pictures once I have started. Grungey chic is what I'm sorta going for. Taylor Momsen has a style that I admire. She loves vintage lingerie and old band shirts, she has a good mix of girly & masculine but still sexy (which I hope to achieve). Here's an example: not the best pic but more to come.
I have been listening to the Pretty Reckless alot lately. It blows my mind that Taylor Momsen is only 16! but man can she belt out a tune.
That is all for today. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

-2011-
Bonjourno 2011! I have returned from re-blog-linquish to embark on not just a blog but also personal experiment t0 enlightenment. I have done more than enough 'soul searching' in the past 14 months (from injury etc). Enough so, that I'm busting at the proverbial brain seams with too many ridiculously awesome, obnoxious and crazy thoughts I have to hide somewhere (for all to see).
As most lives do, mine has changed a lot since my last post. I have now moved out of Cambridge and am truly enjoying the relocate to Guelph. It's surprising how much different the two cities are being so close to one another. I appreciate the culture Guelph has and try to soak it up as much as I can. I'm looking forward to the summer, as I moved in to Guelph after Labour Day and have not yet experienced the festivals or shows.
I have also tried to get back on the employment horse. Unfortunately nothing has stuck longer than a few months. The market hasn't been the greatest but when has it ever been (for me). I have come to realize I must get back to school ASAP in order to come anywhere near content with my job/salary..
I have been wrestling the creative gods for the past few months badly. The daily running of my life has left little to no room for the innovative juices to get flowing so I am going to start making time for them and me to grow.. I feel quite zombiefied by the way our lives are always turning to a device (for everything).
I am partaking in a 31 day challenge to try and fight some doughy, sugary demons and hopefully lose a few pounds in the process. I have decided to cut Coca Cola, pizza and beer out of my diet for the entire month of March. This will absolutely be a challenge for me, however I need this! I need to get my butt in shape (quite literally) and would love to feel great in summer clothes (and all around the board). No green beer for me this year!
I've decided to start eating healthier all together, I am trying out new recipes and gaining confidence in the kitchen. I used to be the box-bought-vegetarian, and let's be honest how does that even begin to make sense?! I am making a conscience effort to eat new things and try out ingredients I would normally have tried to avoid. (links to recipes definitely welcome and will be shared).
I am going to leave you with a song that has never left my heart, even if the girl that introduced me to it did...
"If thinking is like perceiving, it must be either a process in which the soul is acted upon by what is capable of being thought, or a process different from but analogous to that. The thinking part of the soul must therefore be, while impassable, capable of receiving the form of an object; that is, must be potentially identical in character with its object without being the object. Mind must be related to what is thinkable, as sense is to what is sensible." - Aristotle

Spinning
My mind is all over the place. I fear the stress has now piled up too much and I feel as though I may lose my cool. There's not enough meditation that can get me out of the box that's trapped my head. I have spent the morning cleaning, doing yard work, going for a walk, painting and its only just hit noon. I haven't heard back from any job possibilities and I'm getting overwhelmed with being thrown into the deep end of working full time again after being off for so long.. I am also trying to quit smoking, its honestly taking an emotional toll on me. I never thought it'd be so hard. Those are my main 2 stressers right now.. There are probably about 40 other smaller things that I could go on about for days but I'm going to save you that half hour of your life in reading my bitching.
I am extremely lucky to have my friends and family for support and I appreciate them everyday. I have my health now and I am super fortunate to be able to walk again and be almost back to 100%. I am still struggling with E.I. and I am preparing a letter to send to my MP because waiting for over 6 months now is frankly ridicules.
My message to leave you with today is: "You can start with nothing .. and out of nothing or no way - a WAY will be provided."

make it or break it
Today is a very important day. I've been waiting for over a year for this afternoon's driving test. I'm super nervous but I have faith that karma knows I need and deserve my license. After all these years of inconvenience I'd be delighted to have the freedom I oh so wildly crave.
Yesterday was the deadline for my E.I. claim and still nothing! I called yesterday morning first thing and again today and still no resolution! This has probably been hands down the most frustrating part of this whole ordeal. I can't pay for my physio bills without this chuck of coin that I am entitled to. I'm annoyed that I've done everything on my part before any of their deadlines but when it comes to their own deadline they dance around the point. If I don't know by Friday I think my head may explode.
This past weekend was a blast. Spent Friday night with some great friends playing games (hahaha yes games) and spent Saturday night in Guelph with 2 of my most beautiful girlfriends. The occasion that brought us together was a small bacherolette shin-dig for Denise whose getting married on June 19th. We danced up and down the streets and hit up a few bars and clubs. The downer of the night however, was when I took a huge face plant into the sidewalk. My bad ankle gave out and I lost my balance to find myself face first on the ground :( my wee little chin is now all scabby and I really hope it doesn't scar. I think I'm near soon to living in a bubble for protection. I think I am the clumsiest person I've ever met! The knee tho IS getting better and I am officially on the quicker mend. As of last week I have dropped the cane, and have only had to use it a couple times since.
Now I am off to continue practicing for this afternoon, wish me luck :)
