I've been trying to post blogs for awhile, but unfortunately it's not letting me upload photos- so I cannot take you on a tour of my City right meow (I took such nice photos, too!) or do a massive photos spam blog from the Vancouver SG shootfest, but I CAN update you on my freaky deaky life, right?! RIGHT.
Okay, so, first thing's first. The Vancouver SG Shootfest went SO FREAKING WELL! Off without a hitch. We had 5 shooting locations in total, with a different option to use a secondary location every day (We had an apartment for 4 days, a suite in a mansion, some outdoor locations, and the Lords of Gastown Compound, as well as my apartment) so we got LOADS of great sets shot and had SO MUCH FUN and got SO STONED. It was seriously a fantastic experience, and I would love to hold another one here next summer with way more prudent planning ;) hhaha. I'll have sets coming into MR over the next like...Year now. I have shot so much this summer, I don't even know man!
ALSO, I'm getting on the Zivity train, and once I have my BC ID In the mail and all the paperwork filled out, there will be 2 new Zivity sets your you guys to feast your eyes on. One is called "Painters corner" shot by @keziasuicide that we shot last year and are finally having the opportunity to publish. We are both super excited about it!
ALSO, I got a pet snake. He is a Ball Python that @Just_sick got me for my birthday, and I have never loved a reptile so much! His name is Fable, and we got him a big 40 gallon terrarium with all the goods for a happy habitat. I love the way he wraps around my arms and neck, and curls up under my legs. My Mom and a few of my friends have expressed a desire to never enter my apartment again, but that's okay with me! Hahaha. My Mom is terrified of snakes and would never let me have one growing up, but now I can have one MUAHHA!
My guilty pleasure: I'm fairly certain there was already a blog topic on this some time ago, but in case you've forgotten, my guilty pleasure is marijuana. Guilty because it isn't entirely legal where I live, pleasure because I takes away the vast majority of my bothersome symptoms and allows me to live a semi-functional life. Which is ALWAYS good!
Describe your perfect day:
This is gunna be weird. So, my perfect day already happened. And it was the day my best friend died (Right? What the fuuuuuck)
But here's the thing... The day my best friend died was also the day Liam and I expressed our love for one another for the first time. It also represents a transition period in my life that, without it, I don't know who I would be today. The end half of the day (Think the last two hours, at 11pm is when I got the text from Alex's girlfriend) was an absolute nightmare....It was the death of a small part of my heart and soul. But the morning, afternoon, early evening, it was perfect.
I woke up and it was a sunny day, I decided to wear a dress. Liam and I met up and we went for a walk to this lake/field/mountain area in the town we used to live in. It was perfect. We were walking for a long time, and all of a sudden a freak hail storm came out of nowhere and it started downpouring hail and rain. We ran as fast as we could to find shelter, and we found this tiny little phone booth sized toolshed. We held each other, just staring at the rain and the fields and mountains- and at one another. It seemed like forever went by, and when the rain finally stopped we walked and jumped in puddles. I remember looking into his eyes, wanting him to say the words so badly...Wanting to say them myself, but having already said them without the response I was expecting made me hold back. But it was there, the love was absolutely there.
Then we got home, got ready to go out, and went to a restaurant to watch the hockey game. I got a little bit tipsy, and we had a lot of fun with our friends. When the game finished, we went back to my house.
We made love, and it was amazing. Then, for the first time, he told me he loved me. My response? "Really...?"... His? "With all my heart."
It was the perfect day.
Not even 10 minutes later and I got the text from Madskillz (Alex's gf) saying he was in an accident and wasn't going to survive. Fucking UGGGGHHHHHHHH. But everything was good until that :)
What's your favourite recipe?
So, I used to be a cook. Unfortunately, I can't cook anymore because my left arm is permanently disabled. Well, I *can* cook, it just puts me in excruciating amounts of pain and I fucking don't like it any more.
But my favourite recipe is as follows (Feel free to substitute to make vegan):
Portabello muchroom melt.
Ingredients:
1 large portabello mushroom with the stem removed
1 small bag of baby spinach
Brie Cheese
2 Cloves of Garlic
A few smaller mushrooms of your choice.
Coat your mushroom in oil (Coconut, olive, whatever) You ideally want to grill the mushroom on medium heat until it's nice and soft to the touch. You can also bake the mushroom or fry it in a pan, but I find grilling it creates the most flavour.
Cut up the garlic nice and fine, as well as the other mushrooms, and put them in a pan with butter (or oil, but add a little salt if your use oil) on medium heat. Cook that shit until it looks and smells delicious- probably about 3-5 minutes. Then put in the spinach! cook until it's wilted.
Take out the Portabello, put the butter/garlic/spinach mix on top, top it with brie cheese, and broil the whole thing until the cheese is melted. Then cut that shit up and ENJOY. It's seriously delicious. And now I'm having it for dinner tonight.
Favourite TV shows as a kid:
Ren and Stimpy, Kids in the Hall, Saved by the Bell, Hey Arnold!, Stickin' Around, The big comfy couch, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I watched ALL of the good shit.
