blow out.

too far, too fast.

spare change anyone?

even in moments of being found, something is lost. we're down on our knees, searching for a significance of some sort that will enable us to push on. nothing is solid, but is instead ever changing, and nothing is worth holding onto forever, because inevitably everything is, once again, lost.

don't tell your kids...

paisley please.

The summer has finally arrived here in Nanaimo! We've had two glorious days of sunshine and many more yet to come. you can smell the ocean and feel the salt on your skin.
after a crazy month, my life is finally starting to gel together. i've landed two jobs (finally) as a waitress at this classy italian restaurant, and a cashier at thrifty foods. i can't wait to get some extra cash. there are a few records downtown i'm DYING to buy, along with some new funky outfits. i found this beautiful summer dress, and it's been on hold forever! but soon it will be miiine :)
today i have to practice my tunes, go downtown, and then work (4-8) which is perfect because then i'll still have some time to enjoy the weather. i also need to get in touch with the dean at PAVI to figure out what I need to enroll.
ashers and i are also trying to make our plans for our london trip next year! hopefully the spewing volcano won't cause too many problems. but there will always be ways to get around it.

well i better go get some errands done and organize a bit.

i can't turn back now!

you know, it's all really not that bad. the big changes are all part of some plan, and all I can do now is just keep going. talk about one crazy, unpredictable week.
I'm so scared, but so excited.

water boots.

i picked up national geographic's latest issue on water and couldn't put it down. this one photo, taken from the magazine, captures just how much we rely on this resource. I mean, we're made of it.

i'm still talking about elbow.

Yeah, they really are badass.
And I too would be smiling that big if I was surrounded by a full on orchestra. Guy, I want your life!
