fishface.






i look a bit downsy.

dabble.




some random stuff.

what i do at work...
[in the floral dept.]
LOL and i built a house out of flower boxes and put a leprechaun in it.
that's how i do.
i guess i have less pictures than i thought i did...


-mints.

because i want to!

i don't like/wear
makeup because i think i look
funny without freckles.

i like my hair long because when
i was little i was mistaken
for a boy more than once.

i lke my hair dark, because blonde
hair is kindof ugly to me.
except allisons. because it's always perfect
and i love her.

i basically live at derek's because
i don't get sick of him
and because i work across the street.

i wait to fill my tank til last minute
because i don't learn from my mistakes
haha.

i will never get color on my tattoos because
if it didn't go with my outfit,
i would probably get frustrated.

i like my scars because
they remind me of when i was little.

i have so many piercings because
i like getting them.
get over it.
i know i don't "need" them to be pretty.
and they don't make me ugly,
regardless of what you say.

i don't like you anymore because
you have worn out your welcome.

i forgave you because i think life is too short
to hold stupid grudges.

i can't because i don't want to.
you know that.

i think music is one of the most
important things in life
because it brings people together.
and helps you through rough times.

i read a lot because it is an escape.

i am quiet because i don't know you.
i don't look at you because i don't like you.

i am not afraid to tell someone i don't like them
because why waste time pretending to be nice?

i am in school because i think
that's what i am supposed to be doing...

i wear what I like, and not what's "IN"
because i'd rather be happy than "fashionable."

i have few good friends because i don't
trust many people.

i don't trust many people
because i have been betrayed by
many people.

i am making this list
because i am bored.

and now i am going to tim hortons,
because i am hungry.

etc, etc.

-mints.


art, maybe.







1st pic is like 3-4 weeks ago.
whenever i got them done.
and the other is more recent.
healing well.
minus the problems with the one.

no,no,no.

i am confused.


P.S...
thank you, sheryl...
for being the only one to read
my blog.
i will return the favor.

-mints.



today is the day;

that i`m missing kate nash in toronto.
SOBSGALORE.


anyways, i pretty much love beethoven and i think that
his "moonlight sonata"
is so beautiful that i am going to start
my list of things so hauntingly beautiful
they make you want to die.
refer to past post;
"hauntingly beautiful."
and please feel free to add your own.
assuming anybody reads this besides
myself and shooter wilson.

"talent is what a man possesses.
genius is what possesses a man."

that is fab.
and also hauntingly beautiful.




i was thinking today...i wonder what
bad things my ex boyfriends say about me
to their new girlfriends.
annoying, bratty, weird.

i wonder what derek would say about me.
i wonder too many things.


also, i wonder how other people see me.
like...what you think about someone when you
first meet/see them.
i`d really like to know.
you know that everybody makes those judgments.
it's a weird thing to think about.


-mints.

lethal poison for the system.

ah. tomorrow. kate is in tdot.
i am not.
tears.


besides that. today was kind of weird.
but not too weird.
on a scale of 1-10
i would say it was a 6.5.
yup.

i am doing homework.
homework is for high school.
get outta here with all of this othello.
othello that i am reading for the 2094829038th time.
i must have had a curse
put on me in a past life that
i would be doomed to read othello
at least 5million times in my short,sweet,
beautiful life.
[if you can't tell...i am no longer mad]
anyways. how do i break such a curse?

i really don't mind seeing it.
i love shakespeare.
i just don't like being forced
to read it and write
journal entries like i`m in 5th grade.

meh.

rantfinity.

on another note i love zooey deschanel.
and kate nash.
and maybe i am a lesbian.

but i hope not.



nothing against lesbians it's just...
i don't want to be one. all the time.


-mints.


making new friends.

i never knew ants were so cool.
i just sat next to the tub
and watched one
clean it's feelers.

like a cat! like a cat cleaning
it's face.
it licked? [i didn't know they had tongues]
it's ant hands and cleaned its feelers.

i really am amazed.
i guess i thought they just
wandered around looking for food.
on that note, they don't really like cream cheese
or iced coffee.
they'd much prefer rice krispie treats cereal.

i want to be an ant.

-mints.


and i'm singin' uh-oh on a friday night...

i am fighting with everybody right now.
i am on a rampage.
because i am sick of nobody caring.
and people getting mad over stupid things.
and i am mad at myself for letting people
think i don't care.
i am mad that i am missing kate nash on the 28th.
i am mad that i still haven't gotten
my piercing fixed.
i am mad that i haven't started riding again.
i am mad at where my $100 went yesterday.
i am mad i didn't win at bingo.
and i am mad that i can't talk about
serious concerns face to face because
i get flustered and emotional and
forget every word i've ever learned.
duh,duh,duhhhh. what the f did i just say?
and i am mad that i get so upset at
this stupid situation.
i am mad that i am fighting with
my best friends
and that i am turning to mark to vent.
because he cares.
i am mad that i am mean to people who don't deserve it.
i am mad at her because she
is a liar. she is fake. and somehow;
something must make her better than me.
what makes her better than me?
i am mad that i could be doing so much more
with my life but i am not.
i am mad that i try so hard and still get nowhere.
i am mad that mark just told me that all guys are the same.
i am mad that i neglect my friends sometimes.
i am mad that i am so hard to understand.
i am mad at my mom.
i am mad at myself for not having a plan...
that i never have a plan.
i am mad that i don't trust anybody.
and me being so passive that i DON'T get mad.
well, guess what?
NOW IM FUCKING PISSED.

yeah, i said it.
have a nice day.

-mints.



buteverybodythinksi`m...weeeeiiirdd.

happy early birthday from naniboo.
<3333333


maddramz for no reason.GR.
wait...now i`m thinking...
am i way too easy going?
should i be asking more questions?
or should i have more information laid at my feet?
i`m starting to feel in the dark...
that's what i get for thinking.

;;;[[[[
\
i wish i knew everything.

i wish that when i thought i was
in the loop.
i didn't get thrown off track everytime.


-mints.

skeleton, you are my friend...

i want to cry every single time
i think that i will be missing kate nash
in toronto on the 28th.
;;[[[[[[



shake your fist and grab the pepper.
words to live by.

-mints.

i think i can beat mike tyson.

good good good afternoon.


i, i, i would love to let you know
that i can't let you know
what i'd like to let you knowwww.
not that it's a secret.
just because i don't know how.

;;//

on another note;
sometimes being ahead of your time
can be a real lonely place.

no matter how many people
you have around you.

right, dd?


i have thoughts going
in and out and around my head;
like flies in a jar.
it's entertaining...
but makes it sometimes hard to fall asleep
and even harder to wake up.

maybe maybe maybe that's why i am always tired.

well, happy belated earthday.
wish i had more to write.
work soon.
toodles.

ha. toodles.


-mints.

-mints.

well, hello.

on the front of it today.

it still made me smile.

[[[[[;/

hauntingly beautiful.

a list of things so beautiful
they make you want to die!
ready go;

-Beethoven's "moonlight sonata".

-this quote:
"talent is what a man possesses.
genius is what possesses a man."

-the singer's voice from band of horses.

-GOOD live music.

-complete honesty.

p.s.

i did not paint my fish.

]:

timeisnotonyourside.

you know, i am really not a fan
of anniversaries.

maybe it's because i have never
had one in a relationship.

but really, what is the point of counting
how many days you've been with someone?
why waste time keeping track?
so you can throw it in their face
when they leave you?

"WE WERE TOGETHER FOR 9YEARS2WEEKS5DAYS3HOURSand2MINUTES
how you gon domelikedat!?"

or just to make yourself feel like you
"wasted" that much time in your life?

how about just be happy that
you are together.
and if you are not happy...
stop counting for
the sake of counting

and leave.

bbzzzeaaaunt.

<3
-mints.

-mints.







four letter words.

you know i really don't know
how to tell if i am in love.
how do you tell if you are in love?

a part of me tells me who and how hard
i have loved in the past.
but then i look back and say to myself;
"that could have been so much better"
and i don't want that to be what love is.
so i tell myself it wasn't love.

so,maybe i did this to myself.

because;
another side of me tells me i have no idea
what love is.
i don't know what it feels like,
it confuses me,
when i think about it, my heart
goes in two directions.
i don't know how to tell.
it scares me.
how does it feel when you lose it?
i think maybe i am trying
to live up to what i see around me.
like, what i have thought to have been love
has never ended as tragically as it "should"
maybe i just have good coping mechanisms...
maybe i move on easily.
but i don't think love should be that way.

it almost feels foreign sometimes,
like if i tried to, i couldn't even pronounce it.

language is so restricting. if you think about it.
especially when it comes to words like love.
why do they mean so much to us?
someone says love and everybody starts swooning.

i tell myself i don't want to be in love.
that i don't need it.
but sometimes i get a flicker of what
it really might feel like, and i want something bigger.
i want the whole thing.
like a piece of flint hits my little heart of stone
just sparks.
and i guess i am still waiting for the fire.

but not just a goldfish,
because i wouldn't let that happen.


i wish i could breathe underwater.
