i'm just about to graduate from accounting at holland college. yes, i am THAT cool. i like income taxes, and dream of opening my own business. in the mean time, i'll do what i must to pay the bills.

i tend to be.. random. out-going. bitter. blunt. intelligent. original. loud. stubborn. humourous. honest. creative. passionate.

i listen to.. a fire inside. from autumn to ashes. silverchair. sublime. rancid. thursday. nelly furtado. black eyed peas. coheed and cambria. the mars volta. jewel. outkast. h.i.m. david usher. slowcoaster. feist.

i'm all about the movies.. seven. fear and loathing in las vegas. memento. empire records. high fidelity. pirates of the caribbean. fight club. clerks. kill bill volume 1 & 2. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. the life aquatic. gardenstate.

i bite my nails a lot. i wear [and own] way too many hoodies. i swear too much. i live for wes anderson and kevin smith. if you don't know who they are, you should DIE. when i really mean things, i put them in capital letters like that. i like when my hair is in braids [thanks, heather!] and preferably while i'm on road trips, so i don't have to shower. i've been considering dreads, but i know i'll cry when i have to cut them out.

i have a pirate tattoo [and it was before johnny depp made being a pirate sexy] it's on my sternum. it's beautiful and took way too long. these pictures don't justify it at all.. i owe credit to jeff at custom creations, he was great. i also have some stars [horribly ugly] on my right thigh [kevin who USED to work at eidart], and a tribal on my lower back [you know, just like every one else] there's some kanji on my right foot [cory at kbs], they mean "woman", "spirit-mind-energy" and "friend". i've been pierced quite a few times. like 14 i think.. my friend rebecca [kbs apprentice] pierced my eyebrow, her first eyebrow! and cory [other cory, from kbs] did a "vertical medusa" [vertical on my top lip, i guess that's what we're calling it..] on the way home from my quebec trip in september.

in march '04, i got another tattoo. this one means SO much to me. it's named after the album by from autumn to ashes that i lived for.. called too bad you're beautiful. guess who the broken heart's for? yea, fuck him. it turned out amazing though. i'm glad that jeff talked me into color. hott. this photo was taken only an hour or two after it was done, that's blood.. not weird red specks on my swallows. the second picture is after another 3 hour session, he suggested the clouds and i'm really glad he did. my next might be a chest piece with a winged sacred heart and some tourqouise/black roses.. but mel and dad are trying to talk me out of that awfully bad. but hey, don't doubt me..

and i've since taken out most of my piercings. just my nostril remains. i've gotten another tattoo, on my other foot. it's of the animated "origin of love" part of hedwig and the angry inch. i like to dance. i sometimes pretend i can sing. i've owned a guitar since [last] may and i didn't get to play it at all over the summer, so i've been spending a lot of time with it lately. i have a sewing machine, with which i have much fun. i can knit [i know a lot now!] i go for runs when i'm pissed off. i have a horrible temper. if you lie to me, i will not ever forgive you. i'm attracted to malnurished boys with unreal style [think rockstar], moisturized hands, longerish hair and bright blue eyes. i love pretty eyes.

canadian provinces i've been in: pei. new brunswick. nova scotia. quebec. ontario.
american states i've been in: maine. new hampshire. conneticit. massacheutas. new york. [and i can't spell them, but who cares..]
other countries i've been in: none. yet.

i'm often lazy, but you can convince me to do anything if you try hard enough. i try to love people, but you all make it so hard. xox.
