Strange weather brings strange things.


It was sunny just two days ago, and nearly summer heat.
Today, there's a chill down to my bones despite my layers and coat and water leaking into my shoes despite my new floral umbrella.

Recently someone who was the first to stop speaking to me was the first to speak to me again, and in a surprisingly friendly way too.

Today I decided to bring my new umbrella to school, because I just felt like it. And after school? It was raining. I felt psychic.

Also? Apparently the males in my life notice my messy hair days more than my female friends. Three of them today made comments. Whereas when my friends were asked what they thought about my hair, they had no clue what I meant.


Just some strange observations that I thought I ought to share.
I hope everyone had nice March/Spring breaks, if you had one!

a better day today.


Things get screwed around,
twisted into what they aren't meant to be;
into things that make us tear.

Salty cheeks and glossy eyes,
puffy lips and chocolate treats.

But right now I have no need,
for the sky will cry for me today.

Mr Sun Listened?

This is incredible, incredulous, fabulous even!

Ever since my post telling Mr Sun that every time he came out I would appreciate it, the weather here has been incredible! At lunch today my friends and I went to the nearby shopping center for hot dogs from the hot dog stand, and for sunshine! I started off with my cardigan and my jacket but ended up in my t shirt.

It's amazing,

I cannot begin to express the feeling that wells up inside of me when the warm weather comes back. Except that I just did begin, so I guess it'd be more proper to say that I cannot FULLY express the feeling.

Everything that is good comes with the sun, except maybe sunburns, but flowers start to come alive, summer vacation grows nearer and wonderful memories from the last time the heat crept up on us, float to the surface.


I remember my best friend Carmen visiting during March Break a year ago - I hadn't seen her in a year, and it's been a year again (Whaat? We said we wouldn't let this happen again?)


I remember hanging out with my now-boyfriend for the first time. It was supposed to be a big bowling expedition, but it failed and turned into a "video games in my basement" day.


I remember visiting Niagara Falls with my family, going to the butterfly conservatory and lazing around the small "Las Vegas for kids and families" like place.


I remember feeling this way - relieved that winter is over, soaking up the sun heating my leg through the crack in the curtains in class, and just plain HAPPY.


It's amazing. Why do I still live here where I have to put up with so many months of cold? It's not worth it, no wonder those who live in southern places seem happier and more full of life, they don't have to hybernate every winter.

Sunshine

I havn't been very active lately - I know, I've been on repeated field trips to George Brown College to work on a short film I'm doing for the grand re-opening of the Sony/Hummingbird Center! It's organized through school, which is crazy cool. It's exciting!

It's been getting warmer here and very sunny! Already I feel happier and more than alive than I've felt for the past winter months. I'm excited to wear shorts and dresses and flowery blouses instead of bulky layers!
So please Mr Sunshine, if you come out from hiding from now on, I promise to apperciate it everyday, maybe then you'll stay!
