hey there internet boyfriends and girlfriends.
This is a blog inspired by Radeo's most recent entry...
Once upon a time...
...I was a little girl, without any piercings, tattoos or scars. I had dark brown hair, crooked little teeth, and no boobies.
This is a blog inspired by Radeo's most recent entry...
Once upon a time...
...I was a little girl, without any piercings, tattoos or scars. I had dark brown hair, crooked little teeth, and no boobies.
(I was always kinda... "special".)
...I fell in love with my first pets, and forever knew I'd have animals in my life.
...my puppies were... well, PUPPIES!
...I was a catholic school girl.
...I only had ONE tattoo.
...I was a goth kid.
...I dressed like a boy.
...I got a ceptum ring that I successfully kept hidden from my parents for 2 years.
...I went on a roadtrip across Canada with some friends.
...I was a competative cheerleader.
...I went to Montreal for new years with the "cool kids" from highschool and tried to fit in. )I was pretty popular in higschool, I just did it in my own way)
...I was in an improv-troup. ...yeah.
...I was the lead singer in a band.
Well, there's a little bit of my life in a nice little blogy-bubble.
I miss a lot of the things I once did or had, but I am happy to say that I love the life I have and the person I've become because of it all. I have very few regrets and I wouldn't change a thing about my life.
Here is me now.
In other news, I have a job interview tomorrow for a consulting job within the Canadian fundraising division of UN. It would be full time, and actually along the lines of what I went to school for.
I'm a little nervous... not for the actual interview, but nervous about the possibility of actually getting the job.
I've never had a full time job, and this one is downtown, which will actually push my ass to move out on my own and into the city.
Big things. Big changes. Big choices.
Also, if you haven't already, please take a gander at my latest set Happy Hour Shower, and leave it some love. It's gettin' on 2 months in member review and I'm starting to lose a bit of hope... Help me make front page!!!
Well, wish me luck SGland, and I hope you all enjoyed my Once Upon a Time blog.
I live you all with this; she's amazing and I've been listening to her new CD on repeate.

Internet boyfriends and girlfriends; I present to you...
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF NYMPH!!!
I start my day with the usual; gettin up, gettin clean, gettin dressed, ect ect ect, before leaving for work.
Right before I head out the door I always say a goodbye to my babies Toby and Lucy.
They both look so adorably groggy in these pictures. (I interrupted their afternoon naps...)
Before I lock the door behind me I always call out "Bye babies, be good!" before leaving them reign of the house.
After leaving the furballs I stroll to the corner to wait for the bus. The Durham bus system is SHIT, as most suburban transit is, so I have to leave an hour before I start work, to make sure I can get somewhere that only takes 15 minutes to drive to. I could go on and on about the frustrating hatred I have towards the Durham transit system, but alas, I will continue with my day...
The bus was empty, as usual. (mostly due to the crappiness of the buses in Ajax, as expressed above...) This breaks my little tree-hugger heart a little.
So after a 15 minute walk from the bus station I arrive at my beloved second-hand store:
It's small, it's cluttered and everything we use in the means of technology (the computers, debit machine, phone...) is ANCIENT, but I love it, none the less.
My store!
Staff picks:
Right now my picks include Matt Good Hospital Music, The Pixies Death to the Pixies, Placebo Without You I'm Nothing and White Cowbell Oaklahoma Casa Diablo
This is Clayton. He's worked here forever and is the best to bitch to about our ridiculous customers.
He and I are 2 of the only 4 employees that work here. We're like a little, disfunctional, nerdy family
After spending a couple hours bagging DVDs and changing CD cases, I take a smoke break and a little stroll to the convenience store, two doors over in our plaza.
Once there, I induldge in a couple of my dirty little loves...
Jones soda:
I bought this one because it has a cute puppy on it. There was also one with a picture of Barak Oboma on it called "ORANGE-you-glad-for-change-SODA". Hilarious.
Different amateur photos on every bottle isn't the only awesome thing about Jones Soda; it also has a fortune under the cap!
I don;t know if you can read it, buit it says "find a pen-pal"... I miss having pen pals! I used to write letters all the time! SO much better than emails.
...so, um, does anyone out there wanna be my pen-pal?
Another dirty little love: Sherlock Holmes scratch cards.
I don't know what it is about these!!! I was never into scratch cards, but after I saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie (by the way, it's in-fucking-credible) I spotted one of these when I was buying smokes and I bought one on a whim.
The first one I scratched I won 9 bucks, and I've been hooked ever since. Now every frickin' time I buy gas, smokes, a drink, ask for directions, WHATEVER, I buy one. Guh.
Anywho, this is me with today's card... NOT a winner.
Then it's back to work. The 2 greatest things about my job are:
1) I can count on 2 hands the number of times I've actually seen my boss. When I come in, we have an hour of overlay, then Clayton leaves and I have full reign. No pressure. So good.
2) I can grab whatever the hell I want off the shelf and listen to my favorite tunes all day. Listening to music I love is the one thing keeping me from killing some of the idiots that come into my store.
Whenever there is a lag in customers and the store is empty, I either put a "Back in 5 minutes" sign on the door, and go to the sushi place in the plaza (mmm, suuushiii...), or, in today's case, I grab my dinner from the fridge and mow-down before the store picks up again.
mmm... I loves me some salad!!!
Anywho, at 9pm I close up and I'm usually outta there by about 9:20-ish.
After work tonight I headed over to by best friend Chris' house, and played some Buzz Quiz on PS3 with him, his girlfriend, and our buddies Rob, Mike and Jordan.
Chris and Kourtney:
Buzz Quiz!
So, that was my day! Pretty lame, eh? In handsight I probably should have written a blog about a day where I actually do something interesting, and not just go to work... hmmm... oh well! Next time I guess
And now, I bid you all adieu from my waterbed Max, my bed-buddy Fredrique, and me!

'evenin internet boyfriends and girlfriends.
Just watchin some Demitri Marin in bed, and I can't sleep, so I thought I'd write a quick little bloggie-blog.
I'm going to Oakville tomorrow to get a tattoo of a giant squid I have on my side worked on. It's just an unfinished outline right now, because my ex started it when we were working the Gatineau Tattoo Convention in October, and we kept putting it off for people who actually PAID to get tattooed.
I used to be lucky enough to get his tattooing services for free, having the priviledged role as the "girlfriend", but now that we've been broken up for a few months it didn't feel right having him do it pro-bono. Lucky for both of us, David is a huge fan of the barter system, so I bought him seasons 3 and 4 of nip/tuck from my store in exchange for my tattoo!
Here's what it looks like now:
...hopefully by tomorrow it will have some colour! Yaaay!
After getting tattooed I'll be meeting up with Renna for tea, and meeting her friend Alison who I'll be rooming with in Cuba!
In other news I think my sister may have given me her cold before she left to go home to England... *sniff*
That's about all for now, I'll update with pictures of the new ink soon

Hey there internet boyfriends and girlfriends!
Now that I've recovered from holiday hangovers, it's blog time! And a LOT has been going on over the holidays, so it's SUPER-BLOG time!!! yay!!!
Speaking of holidays, how have everyone's been so far? Mine have been great. There have been a lot of friends, family, and this:
That picture was taken by Fynx, with her new camera! She got a super sweet digital SLR for Christmas, and saturday night we had some fun drinking and taking pictures.
Here's a couple more:
I think they're pretty fuckin cool, considering she'd only ever spent time in FRONT of cameras before. We had a great night, being silly and playing around with camera settings
HEY! Who here is looking for something to do for New Year's Eve?!
I'm going to the Bovine Sex Club to see the Creepshow. (For those of you not from the Toronto area; the Bovine Sex Club is judt the name of a bar. A NORMAL bar. There is no association with cattle intercourse, it's just a ridiculous name.)
Anywho, the show is only $10, and it's always a good party at the Bovine. So if you're going to be in Toronto for NYE, or feel like taking a roadtrip to see a wicked-aewsome band, then come toast 2009 and ring in the new year with me!
Kisses at midnight for everyone!!!
In other news; I got somethin' mighty special for Christmas from my parents this year. I got the rest of the money I needed to go to Renna and MattA's wedding in Cuba!!!
I am SO excited. I love these two to death, and I was saving up like crazy to make sure I could attend, and now it's definitely a go!
(Matt and Renna doing their best "Sears" pose. So cute!)
I've never been anywhere outside of North America before. I've only been to the States a handful of times; once when I was 3 and we won a trip to Disneyland (all I really remember is throwing up on the plane), a couple trips south of the boarder for cheerleading competitions, and my yearly shopping trip to Detroit with my mom.
Despite not being very well travelled outside of Canada, I CAN boast that I have been to every province in my country (I have yet to see the territories, but hopefully one day.)
Part of the reason I haven't really travelled anywhere is my anxiety. I get really uncomfortable with the unfamiliar, and being in a strange country with so many new things, and sleeping somewhere I am not used to may be a little panic-inducing for me.
One thing that concerns me is being able to find enough vegan food. We will be staying in an all-inclusive resort, and I don't know how vegan-friendly their culinary options will be. The good thing is that Renna and MattA are also both vegan, so hopefully between the 3 of us we can find some decent options.
The thing that I am MOST worried about, however, is the FLIGHT. I am TERRIFIED of flying. The last time I was on a plane was when I was 18, and I took a 4 hour flight to BC with my boyfriend at the time. This was only my second time ever on a plane (besides the one I don't really remember taking when I was 3).
It was terrible. I cried and felt completely clostrophobic and anxious the entire flight. I had Ativan, which I normally take for panic-attacks, but it wasn't enough. The entire experience was so stressful and agonizing just because of my stupid, irrational fears, and I am getting worked-up just talking about it.
Hopefully I'll be able to keep my anxiety in check for this flight, but I'm not certain I'll be able to. Regardless of my fears and anxieties, however, I wouldn't miss one of my best friends' wedding for the world. I am so happy for her, and thrilled she is marrying such an amazing guy.
I am going over to Renna's tonight to hang out, and book my flight and trip together, so we can make sure everything lines up for the week. I'm stoked to see her
Well boyfriends and girlfriends, I believe that's all for now. I have a room that is aching to be cleaned before I head over to Renna's.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season, and if you're in Toronto for NYE, drop by the Bovine!!! Seriously!!! Dooo iiit...

sooo hungoooverrr...
...I think I need some hair of the dog that bit me.
nymph out, over.
...I think I need some hair of the dog that bit me.
nymph out, over.
Things are happening.
BIG things.
I am in need of a change.
I am not continuing with school next semester; I haven't been happy with it for a long time. Instead I am trying to get a full time job, and move out.
Speaking of moving out... I may have found a place! A girl I know from school lives in a house with 5 other girls, and 2 of them are moving out in the new year. It is right on the subway line, and only $475/month WITH utilities! I am going to try and see it this weekend.
I have been doing a LOT of applying for full time jobs in eco-companies, and a couple of paid internships, but until I have some sort of financial stability I have just been booking shoots like crazy, and modelling my ass off.
Here are some newer shots I've done...

...just a little of what I've been up to.
On Tuesday I met up with Renna, MattA and Shaddix to see how Renna's breast implant surgery went. I couldn't believe how great she looked! I am so excited for her, and I can't wait for you all to see them and fall in love with her all over again.
In other news, I have a new boyfriend... He's super-funtastically awesome and is sooo good to me. His name is Ginty and he's in the Toronto psychobilly band the Creepshow. (I feel like such a groupie cause I've loved his band forEVER!) Anywho, like I said; he's amazing, and I am so uncontrollably exstatic whenever I'm around him.
...he makes me such a mushy little girl. Lame.
Look how freakin' cute he is!!! Goodness, I could just eat him up!
Oh, and we don't have jaundis and yellow teeth, we were just on the subway and the lighting was super yellow and gross.
Okay well that's enough gushing for now.
I am contsantly trying to make an extra couple bucks wherever I can right now, so I can move out, sooo anyone have any odd jobs that need to be done?! Anyone?! I do a mean house-cleaning... I'm just sayin'!
...if not then you CAN help me out by givin' some love on my new set!!!

I am ever so desperately looking for a place to live.
I NEED to get the hell out of suburbia. Or at the very least the hell out of my parents' house.
Is anyone in Toronto looking for a roomate, or know someone who is???
It doesn't matter where; as long as I'm on the subway line, and I'm fine with boy or girl roomies, as long as they're CLEAN!
Here's what DOES matter:
-UNDER $600/month
-clean, clean, clean (I'll be even cleaner)
-wireless internet
-not opposed to me coming and going a LOT (I have somewhat of a crazy schedule)
Yep, that's about it. Here's some stuff about me:
-I'm super clean
-Noise never bothers me, cause I could fall asleep through a hurricane
-I cook whenever my schedule allows and I'm generally willing to share
-I am in my underwear a lot... if you have people over I'll obviously respect that, but if it's just me and my roomies home I generally like to be comfortable.
-I can be loud at times, but I'll try my hardest to respect those I live with
Sooo... yeah, that's me and what I'm looking for.
Please let me know if anyone out there is looking for a roomie!!!
Here's a random picture since no blog is complete without one:
