(no, really!)

i have spent some time with a sweetheart tour guide, kyoko! ive seen geysers, a longhouse from 871 ce, some paintings i adored, some i did not care for, a geologic rift valley that straddles two continents, lots of cute horses, some tiny cats, and two ugly dogs. i have been eating a lot of pastries.
basically, everything is pretty exciting! before i was in iceland, i spent a week in california with 3 of the people i like most! irinka/uproot/_mike_. then i went back to vancouver for a few days, cuddled my cats till they exploded, and headed out for more adventure...
next up: oslo, stockholm, berlin, prague, vienna, trieste, ljubljana, pule, krakow, budapest, istanbul, etc!
btw, i am blogging with greater frequency over here at our souls are birds. if you feel like keeping up with me, that's the place to do it!
how about a new blog? it promises 800% more breast action. i swear it.
first off: a new thing i did a few days ago! it's a video! i think it captured me, how i really am. see, i am all trying to be sexy, but then i laugh a bunch, and it's silly instead. the bonafide rin experience, i swear.
oh and did you see mine & malloreighs most recent nude offerings? head over there and check that shit out...
also! some photos!!
i have been spending some time with this lady, and she is very rad





yes its' me
after working fuckin crazy hours this past week we cracked a couple bottles of swin e and some champage now i am hope at 8[m and probably going to sleep soon
i'm kind of sad acause im fara awayt from my family and i lost one of my fvavourite earrnings on my way home
alsooooo i am alone, but not really i am having wonderful vegan xmas (my xx is broken!~) with meshell tomorrow cause she is a doll
i am making malloreighs increidble mac and cheese, perogies, "brie" pear and cranberry tarts, and some other stuff...and messhell is making som e veg and gravy and bringing the rum and field roast. i have soy nog. just because we are vegans doesn't mean wer go without.
AUGH time to go lay down and try not to barf oh yes
ladies and gentlemen, this is a new low in my life. being so fuckin drunk on xmas eve! this is a far cry from the days of perogies and german church with my grandparents. AWWW DAUYM
have a good holiday everyone ooooxoxoxoxox *my x jey is brokens!!!
this past september, i passed my six year anniversary of showing you guys my ta-tas! holy fuck, does that ever make me feel old.
here is what i have been up to since i last updated:
had a birthday, travelled internationally, made supper for meshell, got drunk with malloreigh a whole bunch, hand-crafted a bunch of bouquets, got sick, got better, got sick again, rode my bike around, ate a tonne of good food, got nearly all my holiday shopping done, been sewing a bunch, watching so much tv and drawing my ass off.
here i am in a bookstore. for those who don't care too much about organisation, it might be heaven. for those who are claustrophobic or need to organise, it might be hell.

oh, and, i've got an early christmas present for you.
how about some sweet music to wrap it up? cheery beirut is perfect for long, dark winter nights...
it's me
and my oldschool pal-io former user cirdt

HERE IS MY BOYFRIEND MALLOREIGH AND I

♥ i have spent some time labouring over the perfect (to me) summer mix, and here she is!

click the photo to hear the mix--and the track list is below.
♥ do you have any essential summer songs you want to share with me?
♥ did i tell you all i've been working as a florist? it's a delight, for sure. there are worse days to be spent than those in a fragrant shop surrounded by blossoming flowers. and damn, people are always so happy to be buying them! did i mention there is some serious people-watching outside my store? daaaaamn, all these beautiful girls showing their skin. sets a girl to dreaming, it does.
♥ my balcony garden is coming along smashingly; i've got flowers on my tomatoes, peppers, zucchini & pumpkins, and fruit on my peas & strawberries. i have a few planters of flowers, too (and one is a jasmine plant that i got cause the smell reminds me of san diego).
♥ i'm still going strong on my 365 project. had no idea it would be this easy...

(this is my favourite outfit of recent weeks)

an impromptu celebration after one of the canucks' wins against the bruins.

I'M CRAZY FOR CORNMEAL RASPBERRY MUFFINS

ladyexxa and i classing up a graduation art show
♥ who do you have to blow to get a new profile picture around here? i have submitted a few and they keep not getting accepted. i mean, damn, i have not had a set bought in 4 years, but i didn't think picking out a profile photo that was adequate would be as difficult! DAAAAAAAMN you guys will have to look at my 2007 face for a while longer yet.
♥ to celebrate the longest day of the year, malloreigh and i are gonna go to the best beach around and have a bonfire. maybe we will drink wine and get all KARAZY, but since we are both on post-playoffs booze bans, we will probably take it super easy. and she is going to teach me how to ride a fixie. that shit is intimidating, BUT I WILL MASTER IT
♥ i'm planning another duos set!! if time & archival status were no objection, which suicidegirl would you like to see me do one with?
HOLY HYACINTH, you guys. i meant to show you photos of my new sewing stuff but it's getting late and i must watch some buffy before i go to bed. as a treat, you know! i deserve it because i worked a craft market today and didn't sell as much as i wanted. by the way: CHECK MY SHIT OUT. besides what i've got on etsy, i looooove doing custom orders. send me your ideas for a necklace, coin purse, patch, pin, iphone/kindle/kobo cozy and i will work some crazy sewing mojo for you.
HOLY SHIT, everything is happening. i just spent a few days with my fam to say goodbye before i move out-of-province. it was a nice trip but hard in some ways. goodbye is never easy, even when it's just temporary. i recieved a load of advice that should keep me floating for the next six months.
what a whirlwind. today i'm going to get down to work on my sewing before i pack it all in for a few days. tomorrow i have errands and a going-away party; saturday i'm loading my worldly possessions into a van, and sunday's the big day.
i'm about to fire up the buffy episodes & get to work; i'm gonna binge on my easter candy! just yesterday i got a package with lindt eggs and gummy bears from a sweet friend living in germany.
oh, and before i go: check out my new tattoo! i got it last wednesday.

hint: it's the strawberry
♥ if you could take a trip anywhere in the world, and leave tomorrow, where would you go?
