I have been asked by many people to show you my nasty eyes.. So...

This was Tuesday

This was Wednesday

This was Thursday.. in the ER.. before I died and became  a zombie

This is me as a zombie.. right after I ate my husband.

So yea.. that is it. I am a member of the undead.. hell bent on eating all of you.

My eyes are gross.

I have some really epic hay fever. I have dealt with it all of my life. But recently.. recently.. I have had this happen to me..

27 Club

This year in December, I will be turning 27 years old. It is the start of your Saturn Return for some but it is also when many tragic but amazing people died.

The 27 Club.
Yesterday Amy Winehouse died of an overdose. With this death, another magical glimmer is added to this list. My old "dreamy" manager Matt, posted this on his FB and I think that it speaks to what I feel and also did yesterday when I found out.

I actually have much love for many members of this list. I love Mia Zapata, I am from Seattle and when they found her killer I was so happy, I ate a cupcake. I couldn't stop talking about it for days.

Jean-Michel Basquiat even though he was more well known for his art was a brilliant musician.

Then there is always the Famous Five. Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix (From Seattle), Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain ( Also, from Seattle).

However, the FIRST! Original Member of this club.. is Robert Johnson.




I hope that I make it to 28.

That Makes Sense

Have you ever spent time thinking about things.. things that you learned about in school and then kinda took for granted? I have recently been dealing with the rehabilitation of the Hedgehog's Sense of Balance. He is doing A LOT better. Really the biggest concern for me was, "is he ever going to be able to run in his wheel again?!:(" You might ask why I worry about this, I know that he is alive and he is not walking around being derpy very much anymore, besides a slight head cock and now when he has to make a turn he doesn't just turn he just does a circle till he is at the right degree. However, he is a runner.. he loves his wheel. It is how you can tell your hedgehog is happy, they do what they love to do.. all the time. Well, Pinny loves to eat, sleep, poop, scratch at the bottom of his cage and RUN ON HIS WHEEL. So, you can imagine my sense of despair when he got sick and the possibility of him not being able to run on his wheel became a harsh reality for him and me. However, the other day he totally ran on his wheel.. and he did it again last night. This is good. :D

Having to deal with this, is making me very aware of senses. There are many senses beyond the base 5.

Proprioception: This sense gives you the ability to tell where your body parts are, relative to other body parts. Close your eyes and touch your nose. Did you jab your eye out? Did you not touch your nose.. but really picked our nose? Did you shove your finger in you bellybutton? No. That is why.

Chemoreceptors: These trigger an area of the medulla in the brain that is detects blood born hormones and drugs. This is the part of your brain that makes you puke. It is also the part of your brain that dictates heart rate, breathing and taste. In theory.. you can say that your heart beats because you can taste.

But then there are other senses that are a bit more profound or mystical.. self of unique identity. We are all special and different. However, humans for the most part, want to all look and act alike. I wish that we could start showing our uniqueness on a visual level.. like Whale Sharks. The article linked, is about Scientists have been able to start tracking whale sharks with star mapping software. This is because whale sharks have unique spot/star patterns on their backs much like each area of sky had different stars/spots in its regions. I do wish that someday, there is a way to uniquely identify each person on earth.. so that we can see what they are.. and they can show who they are. Much like having Cutie Marks..BRONIES REPRESENT!

Sense of Humor.. Sense of Accomplishment.. Sense of Pride.. Sense of Shame. I find that these sense tend to mean more than my ability to sense whether or not I am going to puke on you. A sense of humor is something that is subjective though.. what one person thinks is funny another person might find to be shameful..

Is this funny?

What about this?

I find them to be funny.. I am sure that there is someone out there who senses that they are shameful, or annoying.. they are wrong.. but you know.. senses and stuff.

I am also a big fan of a sense of wonder..


OMG WOW! How does that work! WOW! I mean.. if you were the ICP.. you would say it is a Miracle.. but yea.. it is science..



This is a better video about Miracles..



There is a theory that our memories are also tied to sense. With the most strongest one being tied to smell. However, I feel, in my personal experience.. sound and music does this for me more. I lost my virginity to this song..
It is however, a song that every time I listen to it I cry. These aren't tears of happiness or sadness.. or whatever.. this is just a song that makes people emotional. I was dinking around the internet and I found this version of the same song..


I didn't cry when I heard it but I did feel a sense of completion with that time in my life.

Well, that is all for now, I am going to go feel a sense of accomplishment, by playing Animal Crossing, eating pancakes and cuddling. :D

Happy Canada Day!

This last Friday (7/1/11) was my very first Canada Day as a "Canadian". It was great day for the most part. I went to a friend of mine and the husband's track meet. His name is Paul Little.. he is kinda a big deal when it comes to high jump.. at least in Canada..

This is video from him last year.


Here is him jumping over stuff on Friday. He didn't beat the record of 2.18 but he got to 2.10 which is good.

Then, later on in the day we went to the Canada Day Parade in Downtown Vancouver. It was really fun and great. At the then, everyone in who was watching the parade started following the last float down to the waterfront where they were eventually going to shoot off fireworks. I totally made my husband walk with everyone else.. Here are my shitty cell phone pictures.

Here is a link to someone who actually knows how to take pictures of things. Their pictures are better and show how cool it was.

We saw fireworks! That was really fun. However, coming home was like something out of a post prototypical survival game.. Lets see if we can make it to the SkyTrain station without being killed by the hordes.

We finally made it home and drank a Molson. It was good times.
:D
