Ding-Dong the strike is dead!

THE STRIKE IS OVER MOTHERFUCKERS!

[a message to my good friend whom I've gotten closely acquainted in the past 18 days, Mr.Strike.]

I hate you, You ruined the past 18 days of my education.
Now there's one week to say adios to all my class mates who live crazy far from here if they haven't all ready gone home.
You were fun for the first little while as these things are, it's worn off.
In fact it wore off like a week and a half ago.
Fuck you, along with all of the annoyances to come that have spawned off of this whole fiasco.
I'm glad you croaked, never come back. No one should have to go through that. Seriously.

[i found this while cleaning tonight and that it was supa cute. it's my v-day poem that brant wrote me last year. aw. i'm such a girl.]

My mom called me a cunt.

The strike caused me to put holes in my head. That's my story.
This is what I did to my face.
I felt I needed another piercing, I don't really know why forsure I was having doubts about my lip ring and took it out but have obviously put it back in. After going to the mall last week I completley felt disgusting. Way to many greasy wannabe punks running around with their studded braclets and belts.
I was feeling like if I had the peircing I'd be associated with them in the eyes of strangers. After having a talk with Traci and Brant [and after my mom got mad at me for taking it out...cause she's funny!] I decided to put it back in---That was of course after I got my Monroe piercing, and well I <3>

Photos A La Krista

Tonight was as cold as faak, not a pleasent night for a photo shoot and poor Krista was such a good sport in staying outside for far too long as I really had no idea what I was doing with my flash or Brants tripod.

Aside from the blistering cold and me not knowing the gear it was a pretty fun night.
Krista is really awesome and I'm glad we've finally met after countless one worded encounters. She's one of those people I've always wanted to meet, like a celebrity. You see them everywhere but when you do you are afraid that they will look at you strange when you approach them and you'll feel stupid. Which is obviously weird in itself. She's definitly someone who I could totally see myself becoming great friends with, really. I can't say that often about people, there are only a selection of people who I can really say that about. But yay for new friends and photo fun.
I knew what I wanted to do but upon the wintery night and wardore mishaps (on my part...I had something in mind of what I wanted so me waiting till the last minute and going to the thrift shops downtown and not finding exactly what I wanted or in my price range - - - just for the record Phase 2 in hella expensive for a used clothing store let me tell you!) it was a pretty good shoot. I am happy with what I got, although I would've loved to shoot more. Which I will hopefully get a chance to do in the studio sometime soon with again, Ms. Krista.
So here's what I came up with - - - This was my vision. It came out okay, I'm happy with it for a first attempt.

Okay I lie, I'm really happy with it and hopefully Krista is too!
(As well, the photo at the very top Brant took in the "Ghost Alley" near the Toucan and Chez Piggy.Brant, Myself, Kevin and Krista in ghost alley.)
Mainy all my shots were used in this, here's a different one from ontop of the parking garage in front of The Hotel Dieu Hospital. City Hall is in the background and the lights of Kingston.
So like I said we're gonna do another shoot this time it'll be in the studio where I'll have control over the lights and temperature. I'm pretty excited for that, I really wanna do some studio work alot. I've missed it ever so much since last semester. And what the hell....Here are some hot Metric pics for the show on Tuesday night at Grant Hall. Killer show. Thanks Rock Crew!!!
The opening band were pretty cool. Islands and Holy Fuck. Holy Fuck was rad as hell. (like i just sad rad, sweet!) Brant picked up their CD and I have yet to listen to it all the way through, i best be getting on that soon.
Matthew Good is the next big show that I am SUPER excited for!! I can't even wait! one more month, then after that is City & Colour in Otts with Traci and Brant!! weeee!!
It's 3am and I need sleep. I've been up forever editing photos on Brants Laptop. He's probably wondering why I'm not in bed yet...Night. Enjoy the photos. Posting more sooooon.
