Hey folks,
sorry I've been extremely busy with work lately. Being a sexual assault counciler, and assistant director isn't always the easiest job. However now that it's the summer, my hours have been cut back alot and I have a bit more time on my hands.
As of late, I've gotten a new kitten who I named Ireese, he's a very dark dark grey with suttle black stripes. Very energectic and extremely adorable. He sleeps with me every night on my loft bed.
I've been spinning my poi alot lately, so I feel good in the sense that I am doing things that I love. I am also super healthy as of late, been monitoring my diet more intensly and trying to ensure that I am getting all my daily calories, vitamins, etc etc. when you work alot some times it's hard to keep track of those things.
so all in all I am doing extremely well

Cinnamon tea and wires
wispy ends of tall trees scratch violently
at grey moist cloudy skies.
My eyes fall from the sky to find the
things left behind in the dirt of the earth.
and dart to catch the leaves flying mid flight.
I'm not here tonight, I'm some wheres I would
want to...be.
I watch the bricks swift in walls
swift with my footsteps each brick skips a beat
I like the greying whites between the reds.
I'd paint my eyes that colour if ever I could.
instead I'll have you believe that they are that way.
It's so good of you to come and walk with me.
just don't ever walk me home.
{chorus
the beads of humany water drip from me
and reek of cinnamon dark teas. I offer you
a kiss and all you taste is the steel inside my lips.
and all I taste of you is coffee cigerettes.
once I do, I think of the ways you spend your time.
smoke difts from your mouth between sips of
coffee, and your eyes spark tricks.
foot steps dance across from my feet
and I'm not flattered you choose to dance with me
I say that it would happen inevitably.
but honestly I am so happy.
honesty came through, so that my thoughts came true.
It happened in the right time at the right spot.
tensions fell from me like the humany water beads.
we watched them wash down the hill and onto the streets.
I said in my blinking to just let them be.
and you agreed yes when you blinked back at me.
{chorus
I'm closer now to the insides of you.
but I'm still further from them then the skin
that covers through and through.
I let you inside my coats so you could get warm
and soak up the intentions and the frienship
what little have known, and what is known is little.
but I'm okay if I can share a bit of it with you.
I'm closer now to the isides of you
but I'm still further from them then the skin
that covers through and through.

Hey folks.
again I am lame. I've been waaay to busy to be on the internet as much as I use to be. however I'm slowly trying to stay in touch with people I met on here. (because some of you are rad).
Some time I am planning a trip to Montreal and Toronto. Well maybe just montreal, depends on how things turn out.
I'll be heading to Montreal for the Anarchist bookfair, and possibly meeting up with my greatly missed friend and lover. Justin Larose, who actually my first zine issue is themed after.
About my zine.
So basically I'm making a pornographic zine of myself as a way to reclaim my sexuality, to find release, to challenge peoples concepts of the relationship between sexual liberation and feminism, to challange peoples concept of beauty and image. It'll include self done nude portraits, poetry, essays, stories, Music reveiws from a sexual perspective and other little tid-bits that I find fit to add. If people are interested feel free to inquire about it

Sorry I haven't been active at all. bit of a crazy pass couple of months.
So I'm still teaching yoga at the womyn center. Might also start teaching private classes. hmmmmm. Just been making all kinds of music and re-kindeling old friendships. just stuff like that. sorry I don't have more to write. but I'm pretty exhuasted.
going for a bike ride though

what's new pussy cat?
Alot that's what! So I've met this guy (well we met along time ago, liked each other but neither of us were in a position to take on another relationship) and as of right now things are going well. He've been hanging out alot and talking. He's actually coming by tonight to watch movies.
It's great to because as of right now I am not letting anything get in the way of me and my music, he is a musician and can walk that road with me, instead of trip me up when we're not going his way. (If I ever gave advice to anyone, it would be. musicians should date other musicians if they don't want their music to come between their relationship, or in most cases, their relationship to come between their music haha)
So as I mentioned recently I've been just dead on with my music and 100% dedicated. It's come to spending every day working on my organ, singing, writing songs, and listening to new jazz songs, that I haven't heard before. I also started reading and learning about other instruments and how they are played, what their notes sound like. simply for the reason that the more I know about other instruments the better the communication will be with musicians that play with me. instead of being completely blind to what's going on. I'll know exactly what is happening, I can be of assistance, and I can talk in a language they understand. (using terms that might only be used for that instrument)
so as I was saying, I've been pretty dedicated to my music. as soon as my friend andy gets back I'm going to jam with him.
so this is life, thust far.

Hooray, I really recent photo of me.
That's actually a photo that is suppose to be horizontal.
but I flipped it around to make it easier on people.
Okay so. some of you may recall me talking about having numerous partners. sirprisingly and rather suddenly I have managed to narrow it down to 1. even though we are on a bit of a break while I get myself more straightened out after a few hectic months at work.
Things with me have been very nuts lately. my friend's ex-girlfriend got to spend the night in jail last night for almost strangling him. He's been very passive and finally he just had to do something. I don't blame him. it's just too bad it had to come to this. So he's super stressed out and is all shaky and just seriously needs a bit of space for a bit of support as well. I do what I can.
The art exibit is coming up. I find out tomorrow if my art made it into the exibit. One of them is an image of a womyn naked with her legs spread. then on her stomach is a heart with a lock on it, and the key is around her neck. She has no face but her hair is flying off to the side and there is one of thos green jagged lines shows heart rates coming from the side of the canvas to behind her. This piece is about womyn reclaiming not only their emotions but their sexuality and their livelihoods and become this very powerful being. the Exibit is about feminism and feminist related issues.
Speaking of feminism I took out a book on the fundementals of feminism. Should be an interesting read. I also took out a book on lesbien sex. It's great because it's not just about positions. It's about breaking down the barriers, smashing tabus, reclaiming beauty, and full on not taking shit from anyone kind of thing.
hmmmmmmm. zine is coming along. slowly but surely. I'm aiming for end of december for finally have the first issue out. also looking on creating a radical queer group out of the womyn center.
and as lame as this is (hi ashley!)

Back in the maritimes.
whew, so I am back home.
Montreal was amazing. thursday I went and had a beer with my friend Akim, then went out dancing with my friend brendan, It was so much fun. I love dancing, so it was perfect that he took me out, There was a jazz funk fusion band playing, so we did it up swing style, it was so much fun.
I liked the band so much that I am working with them to try and help them get some shows down here in Halifax.
then they took me to this lebaness resturaunt called boustan and I was ordering and then my friend sarah mentioned how I was vegan and the owner (who they just call boustan) was like "oooooh, your vegan, I will make something very special, very special for you" I protested the idea...but boustan and my friends convienced me to just listen to boustan it was funny he was just like "ask these boys, they know they know"it was good, but the situation was funny
I went on my first roller coaster, it like wasn't scary at all. I was really dissapointed. I just kind of hurt my arm a bit
Got to see all of my family, none of them really speak english. it was so cute my brother said to my cousin noah "we're gonna have fun skateboarding tomorrow huh?" and then noah was just like "que?" which is french for what? it was sooooo sososososo funny.
but anyways, that's about it. bought a new pair of pants, tights, shirt, 2 pairs of glasses and some ridiculously good hummus.
whew, so I am back home.

Hey there.
So if you go to my photos I've updated a bunch of them.
there are now a lot more photos.
other news? Most certainly.
I made a cool shirt today. basically I took a pair of overalls and cut the top off it, so now I have a little denim tank-top that I wear over other shirts. It's cute. I dunno what I am going to do with the pants. wait that's a lie, yes I do. but that will be a photo documentary, not a journal documentary.
My friend's Emily, and JD will be in town soon. SO friggin' excited. I have some photos of them in my photos file.
I leave to go to montreal on thursday. yup good ol' montreal. that place is so damn wicked. I dunno how long I will be there for. but for a little while.
uuuuum, um um um um. reading this book about piccaso. really good. um, um um um ummmm. well that's all I can think of.

so I submitted my artwork to the feminist collective gallery.
the womyn sounded interested, but still no clear signs on whether I am in, if not I will get her to explain what's wrong so at least I can learn.
other news, things with my mystery (mystery to you that is) lover are going well. still keeping it from the rest of our friends. so all is good.
How to be a female artist
first cut your own hair really short, leave a rat tail and tye it up with crappy elastics. if it looks good, try again.
wear knee high skirts and china flat shoes. buy a sparkly scarf and wrap it around your neck.
next buy an antique pin. wear it on your turtle neck jacket.
buy a turtle neck jacket...preferably dark navy blue.
Silk screen your own t-shirts.
make the silk screens pictures of cheesy robots with little hearts.
lay on your kitchen floor and when your roommates ask what's up say "if every morning, I get up, if every noon hour I eat burnt toast, if ever night I lay my head to rest....then what has my life amounted to" or something to that effect
if you drink, only drink whine and gin
at breakfast
