Doesn't want to grow up (Peter Pan Syndrome). [i still think i left Ward early]
Indulges self. [*glances guiltily on new jacket..*]
Boastful. [I hope not..I've been told I'm modest, sometimes to a fault]
Likes luxuries and gambling. [I enjoy the luxuries, not so much the gamble, unless you mean taking chances with social conventions, i.e. "going for it"]
Social and outgoing. [I likes me my friends and fun. but the whole staying at home and relaxing is appealing too]
Doesn't like responsibilities. [so damn lazy sometimes...just don't want anything to do]
Often fantasizes. [hells yeah]
Impatient. [well, this comes and goes. Matthew's trained me to be more zen]
Fun to be around. [I've received good reviews]
Having lots of friends. [correction: several people i'm cool with and are nice...but only a good solid handful that are really good friends]
Flirtatious. [only with my babe]
Doesn't like rules. [i dislike them for their confining nature, but appreciate them for some order and consistency in life]
Sometimes hypocritical. [who isn't?]
Dislikes being confined - tight spaces or even tight clothes. [i hate being boxed in.]
Doesn't like being doubted. [i can't stand being condescended to]
Beautiful inside and out [aw, that's sweet of you to say]

Hey ladies,

I wanted to ask you if there was something you'd really want/appreciate in package design for your most intimates of intimates. I'm designing a box that can be used to sell the products on the shelf [white on white design, to be eco friendly...so completely out of white paper & string] and it comes with lip gloss.

Any suggestions would be cool :) or something you hate/want in packaging in general.

Thanks!

Hey guys!

In order to raise funds for our graduation Design Show, Wonderlust, my class is putting on a fundraising gala called UltraViolet, on Feb 8, 6-12 at bar244. It's not a club night, it's a fancy, shmancy gala teaming with visual, musical, and graphic design art.

It would mean a great deal to me and my fellow students if you could join me on this night of live music, food, drink, silent auction, and door prizes!

For info on the live acts go to our website: http://ultraviolet.apassionatecuriosity.com

To see what goodies we've accumulated so far, check out the Flickr page:

We've got a wide range of items you can bid on and/or win! From signed ballet shoes from the National Ballet of Canada, to authentic lead letterpress type, to tickets to Dirty Dancing & We Will Rock you, to Starbucks coffee, to a full blown Spa day at Tranquillity Beauty Spa, to a unicycle! [yes, a UNICYCLE!]

There will be hors d'oeuvres, magicians, local music talent, and of course, as already stated, prizes to be won!

So please, support me and my designer buddies and come on out to the night. Just leave a comment or contact me at jacquelyn.fong@gmail.com for tickets. $22 each.

We've got upwards of $20,000 to raise which is no small task. We're gonna make it happen, and we're not gonna let the strike get us down. Help us make the grad show a reality :)

Hello hello,

I'm selling my Coldplay tickets [fangirl squeal!] for their show in Toronto at the ACC. It's the July 31 show at 7:30pm.

The two tickets are in section 308, Row 9, seats 1&2.

I'm asking $250 for them [what I paid]. And I'm including the receipt ticket so you know it's legit, but you trust me anyway, right? right :P

Anyway, anyone who's interested please please reply here or e-mail or call me a.s.a.p.

Merci!

These are quite possibly the sexiest waterproof boots I've ever seen:

If you see them being sold for a price better than $269.00 [the pain!] let me know :P

If the locomotive of the Lord runs us down,
we should give thanks that the end had magnitude.
We must admit there will be music despite everything

Heylo peoples :)

I've been trying to find these items in stores, but I'm coming up dry.
If you see them somewheres, let me know?


This hat and "cuff gloves" are from American Eagle, but they don't sell them anymore apparently:




And I've seen these at Stoneridge, but they're both expensive, not the comfiest..and the styles they have are ugly. =.= I first saw these with black exteriors and acid green interiors:



They're by Blowfish. I've seen something similar at Aldo, but it's an ugly, cracked faux leather...it's like the skin's cracked and pealed off of some dying crocodile...*shudder*


So yes, these are on my wishlist :P Find them? let me know!

hey guys, my friend and I want to see Nightmare in IMAX...but just wondering if anyone knows if it's still running/going to run? it doesn't seem that Scotiabank theatre's going to have it, but does anyone know if and when it will show?

thanks.

To all those who are going through the unpleasant, the unimaginable, the hard, the stressful, the exhausting, the spiderweb-ing-pain-in-chest-ing, the confusing, the tears-inducing.. take a moment for yourself and for you only. Even if it is to listen to your favourite song. Even if it is just to eat a cookie before dinner. Even if it is to stop your eyes from bleeding after staring at the same typeface you should be damn proud of having created, you creative little designer, you. Take that moment and let yourself breathe because on some level you have earned it. Let yourself know that it will get better because it will, despite the severely strong feeling that it won't. You've been brought to it, you'll be brought through it.

Just dance. :)

"Canned Heat" - Jamiroquai

You know this boogie is for real.

I used to buy my faith in worship,
But then my chance to Heaven slipped.
I used to worry about the future
But then I throw my caution to the wind.
I had no reason to be care free
No no no, until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah yeah yeah, you know I heard that boogie rhythm
Hey- I had no choice but to get down down down down.

[CHORUS]

Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance,
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got canned heat in my heals tonight baby

I feel the thunder see the lightning
I know this anger's heaven sent.
So I've got to hang out all my hang-ups
Because of the boogie I feel so hell bent, hey hey
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I never ever felt like this before,
I don't know what to do
But then thats nothing new,
Stuck between hell and high water
I need a cure to make it through.

Hey- dancing nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance,
Hey got canned heat in my heals tonight baby
You know know know I'm gonna dance yeah
Off all the nasty things that people say.

Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
Dance, come on got canned heat in my heals tonight
Canned heat in my heals tonight.

Hey Guys..long time no blog?

Basically, I want to be Yuffie (From Final Fantasy / Advent Children) for Halloween. But the actual deadline for his costume is the 27th.

If any of you have anything that could help me out with this costume, that'd be awesome. I've got the black tank and i can swing the wristbands, but everything else, i need help with. please! I'm probably going to try Value Village eventually, but still. help please?

thanks!

that's right, children. my summer isn't over yet!
tonight, was technically the last day of summer and it sorta feels like it. i went to the ex today, unfortunately didn't see the kirk, but that's alright. today was pretty cool, despite late waking up-age. basically got to the ex around 5:30, had insane time trying to find people. sigh, thomas. going in and out and then in again and finally spotting the trio. got to enjoy 3.5 hours of ex-ness. huzzah for alex's caffeine addiction resulting in free passes (rrrroll up the rim!)

This summer's been amazing. the first summer i've enjoyed thoroughly and that is in no small part due to my fantabulous friends. The summer officially started for me in April, then it paused while i was Psych-ing, then it started right back up again after that.

i enjoyed my one month, and i don't regret it one bit. i wish it didn't end, but it did. we talk, we laugh, it's brief but whatever. it's something.

uber party-ing and hanging with the alex and the trish and company. made some great friends thanks to them. oh sean, you know you're beautiful in that sports bra (support!) and grass skirt. happy one-month-before-your-actual-birthday!

and risa, you're great company, and you bring along great company. anthony, you know you love your corn. you're an awesome guy to hang around. so wicked that i start coughing from laughter and rootbeer goes up my nose! it's like there's a party in my lungs and everyone's invited!!

lurvely concert, merci mlle. shirley. looking forward to the peppers with great anticipation and excitement =) aaaand:
indian buffet is hot and spicy and cough-inducing but sooooo gooooooood!!

hanging out with my bestest is always fun. especially when we can just sit and talk for hours in the backyard, the bench swinging, the canopy flopping, the sun beaming. perfecto. things are bad, they'll get worse, but they'll eventually go away and when they do we'll have moved on. =)

hooray for awesome cousin picking me up from work and going with to casey's for a fun dinner during which she insists she shall kill him for being such a teen. she'll do it despite the blackbelt-ness. i love her. and then followed the prescription of music, leading me to the love of sugarcult and ''pretty girl.''

and so, my dears, my summer closes tonight and encores tomorrow with my dinner with elementary friends at mongolian bbq. never been. intend on getting stuffed. expecting a shot to my wallet. still intend on getting stuffed.

thank you all, and good night. =)
