it's winter!
already, holy shit. i feel like i was in nz just a few weeks ago. i was beginning to feel really hesitant and unmotivated by the fact that not only was the season here, but so was the first contest. however, the canadian open got moved from december to early february so now my first contest isn't until the middle of december which is a lot better. it's not the greatest news though because it was able to change dates due to the fact that the vail session got cancelled because of the financial crisis, it also falls on the same days as the baker, so i have to make a choice now. i think i'll be forced to do the open, which sucks cause the baker is always a really good contest, one that i have so much fun at. anyways, this all means that my plans changed up a bit and i'm going to spend a week shredding here before i go to colorado. i'm really stoked to stay here and just ride with anthony and my friends for a week before i throw myself back into things.
besides the pending season, i've really haven't been doing much. diving into cooking and baking and having fun doing that. i really enjoy it and i'm going to try and keep it up throughout the season. thinking a lot about going back to school next fall too. i think i'll be stoked to be learning again, just take a few computer and english courses. other than that i've just been hanging out with sara and anthony a lot. ant and i are at a weird place right now, but i think we'll be alright. going to try and plan some dates for this week and next week so we can spend some quality time together.

well kind of.
i got home a few nights ago, went to guu with anthony and watched the olympics. the chinese gymnasts are NOT sixteen, they look like pre pubescent aliens and frankly, they kind of scare me. yesterday we layed around for most of the day, went to tommy's for breakfast and eventually made our way downtown. we went and saw KRAZY! it's the new exhibition that revolves around all things animated. comic books, graphic novels, video games, anime, disney etc...it was interesting to see this whole other side of comic books that i was never exposed to as a kid. i was really expecting dc, marvel, archie, superhero style stuff, but it wasn't like that at all. they did a bit of mainstream stuff, but it was mostly the underground, innovative work that they focused on. they used the term "defined his generation" quite often for many of the artists. we met up with dan, darina and max half way through, but they wanted to just go home afterward. we ate at foundation and then went back to his new place. it's in a pretty sketchy area, but it's a great place and his roommates seem pretty mellow.
i'm in portland now watching vic strut her stuff for owen's camera. i'm here until tomorrow morning and then it's back to vancouver and hopefully some nice weather. fuck the rain man, i need to thaw myself out for a bit.

i lost my iphone.
motherfucker.
i'm so over having people finding my phones and being assholes about it. just return it, it's really the nice thing to do. it's what i would do so why do i keep getting such horrible karma? i'm going up the mountain today for the last time so hopefully it will be there still. it's got to be.
i've been taking such good care of it, i don't understand how i was so stupid.
anyways, i'm leaving tomorrow. i'm stoked, but i wish i hadn't of gotten drunk on friday and rode yesterday. the washing machine is broken here so i had to hand wash my clothes last night and they are taking forever to dry so i'm half packed and sort of thinking that kara and darrah went up with out me. we're going to queenstown tonight and staying at the redbull place and i fly out tomorrow afternoon. peace out nz, thanks for breaking my camera and stealing my phone. hey, at least i did a $1000 indy in the contest...so embarrassing.
i'm excited to see anthony.

autumn in the city is never really autumn. we're lucky to get a few days when the sunshine hits the orange and reds just right. calgary and anywhere that it doesn't rain 90% of the time gets it, but i guess we get to be really stoked when it does happen. it's happening right now and it makes me smile. wait, it just starting raining...fuck. scratch that last thought. anyways, not much is new. working still, not working out enough and hanging out with anthony. i'm starting to get all weird and i might potentially be turning into somewhat crazy girl. not cool. the last few days i've just been letting my mind run wild and getting caught up on dumb things. things are going really great with us and i think i'm trying to find a flaw. it's like i need something to be wrong with our relationship. there really isn't and i'm really happy so i should stop being lame even if its mostly being lame inside my head. when we were in calgary joanna said something that made me really stoked. she said "you guys are adorable by the way...i can tell you guys love being together and have fun doing everything together."
and it's really true. he makes me smile a lot. yay.
i'm going to go hang out with justine and sean. i haven't seen sean since camp ended so that'll be fun to see him again. hopefully i'll catch some top model before i go. sorry that this post sucked.
ps. theres a cold stone next to anthony's house. i'm going to get so fat, but be really happy doing it!

by the time you swear you're his,
shivering and sighing,
and he vows his passion is
infinite, undying -
lady, make a note of this:
one of you is lying.

its the last few days of camp and it's pouring rain. bye bye sunshine, hello gloomy, wet days on the hill. i have really funny and entertaining girls in my group who just don't give a shit and make my day up there enjoyable. i've been really sore and tired all week so i'm stoked to have them around. anthony and i have been hanging out lots this past week and it's been really rad. he spent the last two nights at my house and it was just really nice to have someone to fall asleep with. it was also really nice when he told me that he likes hanging out with me and that he likes me. the first night he said it i didn't say anything back, but he said it again last night i told him that i liked him too. i've started to stress out a few times over the past few days but stopped myself because i need to stop being afraid and over analysing things so much. i'm just going to let this happen and see where it takes me. right now, i'm just really stoked on being around him and that he's stoked on being around me too. its nice to have this feeling again, i had forgotten what it felt like to meet someone new and be all nervous and stoked at the same time. i think i'm going to leave my sled at his house for the summer/fall and since i'll be in the city all fall i hope we keep hanging out.
in other news, just went to the dentist and then bought candy. stoked. life is good right now.

"sleep may just be a premonition of a place you are going to visit."
i do wish that i dreamed more, or retained more of the few that i do have. i almost want to do mushrooms to see what it'd be like to have an imagination again. fly to the moon and back.
