My two year anniversary is coming up! I first became a member on the site on June 16th, 2009, where I was quickly welcomed by lots of you folk. I made a lot of friends. Some I've hung out with in person, a few I made plans with that still need to fall through, and others I still enjoy little chats with here and there. This place is great! haha
I made some pretty big claims within that time span... some were so silly looking back on it,


At the end of the day, I look at the star in the sky and say Someday, I'll lead a limitless life, a full life, an interesting life, a life of intellectual pursuit and success, one of great discovery and love. I know I deserve it. I've done a lot of thinking just this past week on how to keep progressing with my life, and although its been a quiet week action wise, There's a lot of things that have inspired me to change. Things that I usually keep to myself for fear of breaking my so called resolutions.
Things are slowly changing in my favor, now to get a large lump sum of money

I stopped drinking. I Maybe go for one or two beers every once in a while, but my intent is not to get drunk. We as a society waste so much time, money, and energy looking forward to, and almost drowning in the consequences of fermented veggie juice...? A poison! What a weird thing to idolize

Speaking of books. I got two new books within the past few weeks that I'm going back and forth between.
One is
Your Creative Brain by Shelley Carson PhD
and the second is
The Amen Solution By Daniel Amen MD
Before you go on thinking the Amen Solution is about organized Christianity or something, its not. It's actually backing up a simple notion backed up by practical neuroscience to say that the better you eat, the less calories you take in, and the more positive thoughts you have you will become smarter, thinner and happier.
With this book, I find that I'm writing down a lot of goals, and remembering some pretty silly habits that we get so easily caught up in in society. I didn't realize how much crappy food is out there, and all you have to do is look past those cheeseburger and fries combos and eat a nice fruity salad. Yes the good stuff is more expensive, but it it can slow down the aging process. (isn't that nice)

Tea is also very good at keeping you healthy, vibrant and balanced. I recently discovered a downtown tea boutique last weekend, when my boyfriend and I were walking along Queen street and got a good whiff of what smelt like chocolate, strawberries and mint... That sent us both into salvation mode as we went to look for the door. The place is called TeaLish, and I fell in love with all of their variations of teas. Earl Grey Cream? MMMmmm It actually smells like creamy vanilla

Let's see... what else has happened?
Ah, yes! This week so far I've walked about 12-14 hours!


I made an appearance at the SGCE Gala this year, and I have to admit. I was pretty shy, and sad that I had only stayed for around an hour. It was nice to see some familiar faces and meet some new people as well! I sadly didn't get any pictures of that event, but I went to see some good friends after, and got this shot... hehe it makes me laugh

We've been going out for a little while now (just under six months), and this is the first time I've had such a great friend and love in the same person. Really, the sweetest guy I know, who makes sure that I'm giggling on a constant basis!
He (I will claim) is the hottest guy ever!

Warning: You might drool a little bit... I know I did and still am!
Ahhh I'm such a lucky soul!
We are trying to plan a day to shoot together! something along the lines of
This
We shall see how this turns out, but I have faith it my ideas will turn out very well! *evil grin*
I got some Fan Art from Errante Its so cute! That looks like the Ghost of an intellectual figure like Friedrich Nietzsche. Sooo cool!!
So fucking awesome!
I'll follow this with a Quote
"All Instincts that do not discharge themselves outward turn inward-- This is what I call the internalization of man: thus it was that man first developed what was called his 'soul'. The entire inner world, originally as thin as if it were stretched between two membranes, expanded and extended itself, acquired depth, breadth and height in the name of measures as outward discharge was inhibited."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
(that ones for the existentialists out there)
My Tumblr looks like a day dream now! I think I'm doing a pretty good job of mixing all my interests together in it. There's a lot of One Piece and Luffy, but That should be pretty obvious. Have a look see
I also had a quick hang out sesh with Ms Vikki blows. I see her from time to time and not too long ago pieced together who she was. We will hopefully hang out some more during the summer. Incase you don't know who she is, I'll show you
I'm now waiting on not one, but TWO sets to be edited! I'm so excited to get back into shooting! And I have an idea for the next set I shoot. This one won't be for a few months or so, but I want to make my next one more personal and try to incorporate Luffy in a non-cheesy way I'm so excited to get this idea rolling!
I'm also really excited! I have blemish scars from when I was a teen, and They're almost FUCKING GONE! Eeekk! I feel so happy and liberated in a new sense! No more hiding hehe
Phew! I think I got everything... Now I'm ready to go back out into the world
I hope you all are having a fantastic June so far, and love live life!

I'm learning a lot of stuff that I never knew before.
