Today of course, voila.
How are you this grey, yet nice day? It was pretty rainy for the majority of the day, but all the fall coloured trees are shining through the grey sky and looking as beeee-autiful as ever.
Mondays really hurt my head. I have school (normally until 6) filled with the hardest classes. Actually, I wouldn't say hard, just knowledge filled. First we have a web design class, I'm not even going to explain that.. and then we have media law. This sounds interesting, I will admit. But I have a prof that doesn't project her voice and even sitting at the front of the class, you'll hear nothing. So I'm going at least to get attendance credits. The good thing about Mondays is that the next day is Tuesday, which is one of my days off. Usually my Tuesdays are homework filled, and daydreaming of boys of course. Oh, how I love boys.
Remember I told you about my last boy crush? Let's call him, Hollywood. Which I'm sure you'll one day understand. He's the mysterious, grungy, skinny boy that I think every woman once crushes on. Unfortunately for me, I'm crushing harder than hard, and still being a big baby and not doing one thing about it. What would you do? Probably have the guts to walk up to him and say something right? Or at least smile at him? Well, pretty please send me some of that courage so I can tryyyy to do something about this crazy crush of mine.
I have to run, and do my homework like a good little student.
Until next time,

I broke my promise already. Surprised? I am. And a little disappointed. Two days went by super quickly, with a lot happening in the middle. I'm watching The Wedding Planner as we speak, and it's just so cute and romantic, makes me wish to have a boyfriend (which you already know). Me and mom planned a nice trip to the pumpkin patch though, just me and her, for pie, and corn mazes and hot apple cider... mmm, the perfect fall day I'd say. Don't you agree?
Anyway, Thursday was a long day. Went to school for 9 hours, lost my voice completely, and didn't get to see Bautista hit his 50th home run. BUT, I went to a lovely little bar called Eat My Martini with two very good friends of mine; a boy, and a girl. These two friends of mine happened to flirt the night away, so sweet I think. They would make a very cute couple and I can only hope for the best. Anyway, this cute martini place in the heart of the city gave you a run for your money with all the martini flavours. It's the perfect place to go with friends after work or for a night out, giving you good laughs, and a hell of a time trying to pick the martini of the night. I chose cosmic girl, the girlish spin to the Sex and the City coined Cosmo.
During the flirtatious night out, my beautiful Steve Madden nude pumps hurt my feet again.. I'm not sure why, probably because I didn't drink enough water and my feet were bloated (sidenote: women, always drink your 6-8 cups of water in a day... if you don't like it, suck it up, your feet will thank you) My good friend (guy) decided to text my aforementioned crush to tell him to come out, all while slipping in a little "I'm with a friend from your school who thinks you're a total babe".. I wasn't mad, I mean, at least now he knows I'm interested and not just a lurking student in the school. Totally high school of me to have my friend let someone know I'm interested in them, this guy is just so mysterious I don't even think I could approach him without drooling on myself first. So I turn to the trusty friend.
Further to my Steve Madden nude pumps, I bought the cutest everr cognac coloured boots, with just a hint of buckle. Adorable! Along with new boots, I bought very nice high-waisted Wilfred pants... to go with my Steve Madden black oxfords. I alsoo bought People Magazine Style Watch Edition today for a pricey $5.99, but it appears that I'm bang on in style, or so I think, ha!
Anyway girls, gotta hit sac, I'm so tired, and I have school tomorrow!
Until next time,

kiss kiss, bang bang
Helloooo bloggers!
Obviously I've been a little absent. Well I'll tell you why, third year is kicking my ass. It's 100 times the work, in 100 times shorter deadlines. But today has been the perfect day.. I woke up (to my dog freaking out about the thunderstorm) and drove my mom to work. I came home, diligently did my homework, did some heavy duty reading, and then went to see Easy A (amazinggggg movie), renewed my moms license sticker, did some research for an MTV project in working on, came back and watched the most amazing episodes of both House and gossip girl.
I only have one simple question: why can't chuck bass, just be chuck bass and be together with Blair? It's really not all that difficult. "I love you Blair" "I love you chuck" kiss kiss, done:) quite simple really.
Anyway, watching GG, easy a and house all made me want one thing, love. It's really quite a nice feeling. And these days are perfect for boyfriends; it's warm, and sunny but it's cold enough at night to have the leaves start changing colours. It's the perfect day,
Especially for a boyfriend... Oh well. My time will come:)
The sad thing about this time of year is that baseball season is almost over which obviously means the end of the blue jays until April. Im a huge fan of hockey of course, but baseball is my life in the summer. How else an I supposed to fill my time? Oh, good point. A boyfriend. Ha. I'll work on that.
Even though school is back, I've been doing a lot of visiting with friends.
I stayed at my good friend Dakotas last week, we went to a nice bar in Little Italy, had food fun, good laughs and an amazing sleep. The same idea for this week: staying at my friends jess's, going to drink a few martinis, waking up super early to finally get the iphone4 I've been dying for! What a great night I'm in store for!
Sorry for being so absent, I've been busy busy, but I promise to check in more often. By often at least every other day. I really have to tell you about my latest crush:)

Learn, learn, learn OR Tiff, TIff, TIff?
Hey! Have you forgotten about me yet? I’m so sorry for being away for so long, With the little downtime I had, I slept. I’ve been so tired; always on the go, Alberta time vs. Ontario time. I still can’t quite get in the real swing of things. In case you were wondering, I am back in Ontario now.. I landed last night at about 10:30, meaning I didn’t get home until about 12. I didn’t get to bed until around 2, AND then I was back up at 6 for school. I’m not doing so well... EXTREMELY tired. But oh well... I will fill you in on everything I neglected to share with you. Here it goes:
Since we last spoke, I went to Edmonton, the wedding, the West Edmonton Mall, Banff, back to Calgary and Spruce Meadows. I’ve met two guys, had a blast traveling, feared for my life and played with animals. We’ll start with getting to Edmonton. My cousin, who I found out is religious (don’t know how he’s related to me?) drove me to Edmonton, where my mom drove with my aunt and granny. The speed limit on some of the highways there is 110, waaay better than the 100 km/h we deal with here in Ontario. My cousin however disregarded the speed limit and decided to travel anywhere between 140 and 160 km/h..... Yep. He weaved through traffic, resulting in brief heart palpitations for myself. Not an experience I wish to have again, unless of course I’m with a professional driver on a race track. When we got to Edmonton I was surprised with a suite in the Fantasy Land Hotel. My mom knew how badly I wanted to stay there, so she booked a room unbeknownst to me. We got checked in, got ready for the wedding, and then proceeded to the wedding. It was a small, pretty ceremony, followed by a small tasteful reception. The only thing I hate about weddings is the need for overly fancy food that no one actually enjoys. There was sea food combined with ALL of the courses, which of course made me want to vom. I got to bond with my uncle though whom I haven’t seen in about 5 years. Now that I’m actually older, and not a child, I really appreciated the time I got to spend with him.
The next day I woke up to the SOREST throat you can ever imagine. I was lethargic, couldn’t swallow, and had just found out the Tim Hortons was about a 10 minute walk, RIGHT next to the ice rink. So, I got dressed, and started my trek to the Tim Hortons. No matter how sick I was feeling, I needed to see the mall. After all, we were only in Edmonton for the day. Me and mom went to a shark show (it was awesome), saw all the attractions (amusement park, water park, etc) and shopped ‘til we dropped. We went out for dinner again with my uncle (aunt, granny, and cousin) and then packed the car up for home. I absolutely refused to drive with my cousin again (which was awkward and lead everyone to think I was a whiney baby). Who in their right mind would get back into a car KNOWING what was coming. So I drove with my mom and aunt, and my grandma drove with my cousin. Phew.
Thursday we were back in Calgary. We decided it would be a home day as we were all tired from traveling, and my cold-like symptoms had now turned in to flu-like symptoms. We all caught up on our rest, TV, and drank lots of tea.
Guess what? It’s Friday morning now and we’re heading to Banff. This was the part of the trip that I couldn’t wait for. So we packed the car early, and drove the 1.5 hours to Banff. Within 20 minutes of driving, the mountains appeared. Now, remember that I had NEVER seen the mountains before. I almost cried they were so pretty. I couldn’t believe it. As we got closer and closer, it became less and less real. We drove around for a while, took some pictures from various angles and lookout points, and then headed to meet the newlyweds for lunch. (Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you, the newlyweds and us all had the same itinerary for the rest of the week. Awkward? Yep.) Lunch was awful, well the food was; the company was great.
--Just so you know, as I’m writing this.. I’m eating a wrap, which has officially made me feel sick. How Rude! (Thank you, Stephanie Tanner; courtesy of Full House)—
After lunch, we started walking down the main strip of Banff, where I booked my horseback riding trip, which was to take place in 30 minutes. So again, off we go; down through Banff to the stable. My guide: GORGEOUS. Dave was his name, straight out from Australia. I just happened to be the only one on this tour, so it was just me and Dave. It was romantic.. or so I like to think. Fast forward to the end of the story: I chickened out, didn’t ask for his number, and left. Never to see him again.
Plane ride home: Met a cute boy in the airport.. and by met I mean just smiled as I walked. While I was sitting on the plane, I reaaallly had to use the washroom, but it’s always such an ordeal, so I held it... Until the point where I almost burst. I ran to the washroom, where I was greeted by a 5 person line. Inconvenient. I was in everyones way, so me and said boy chatted in the flight attendant's cabin. It was just for a short time before the meaner of the 3 flight attendants broke it up. Once we landed, me and mom went to retrieve our baggage, where this boy came up to me asked me about my flight, helped me and my mom with our baggage, and took my number. He already texted me and wants to go for coffee. Forward? Yes. Am I flattered? Absolutely.
First day of school, over. My schedule is great: Monday for 6 hours, and Thursday for 8 hours. That's all. The rest is nice and relaxing. I'm going downtown to star watch (hoping for Ryan Reynolds and Rachel McAdams) with my good friend Megan... Hopefully we can score some tickets to a movie for TIFF. That would be fun. Anyway, no word of the day today. Too lazy.
Until next time,
Mr. Famous, xo

Happy Labour Day!

Day 1- Success
Word of the day; Coulee; a small valley, or a low-lying area
Good morning everyone! It’s 11:30 Calgary time, so 1:30 Ontario time. So.. morning for me I guess. I’m really adjusting to the the two hour difference, probably because I was up for 24 hours when we flew in on Friday night, so I slept like a baby. I still have no wifi connection so I’m just going to write blogs and post them as soon as I can. It’s Sunday, meaning day 2 of our trip out here. I’m really loving it. It’s amazing how different it is from Toronto though. Their “downtown” is the size of one or two neigbourhoods of our downtown. I would say the Financial district, and Club district. That’s what Calgary’s downtown is made of... maybe a little bit of Yorkville as well, because all the major hotels are on one strip (easy for spotting celebrities as they visit!)
Yesterday we didn’t do too much. We got off to a slow start, then went on a quick tour of the downtown, and went to Innisfail to pick up my granny. We ate dinner there, and met some of her other senior friends (who were adorable), and then continued back south to Calgary. I learned a lot yesterday on the drive alone. For example: Calgary is primarily flat, like the Prairies, with the exception of the mountains of course, so while you’re driving, it’ll all be flat, and then all of a sudden you’ll be in a little divot; this is called a coulie (I’ll have to double check the spelling on that.) Anyway, a coulee is just a little part of the land that dips down, and back up again (think tiiiiinnyyy valley). I also learned that Alberta is known for their canola crops. Now, the coolest thing about canola is that it is a BERRY! There is a plant that flowers, and when the flower is gone, all that is left is a little black berry which produces the canola oil. I feel like many of you guys already knew that, so don’t laugh too hard at my obliviousness to crops. I can’t seem to remember what else I learned which kind of sucks, something about oil and gas. OH, I remember! There is oil everywhere. Along the highway, about every 5 minutes you’ll see a pumping station that I originally thought was for hydro... turns out, they pump oil in to a main station somewhere else in Alberta. COOL EH?
So, after I learned all of this fun information, we stopped at a place that is completely familiar to me... I would say it’s like a second home. Crossiron Mills. People back home, you may resonate with this a bit... Crossiron MILLS. Similiarly to, Vaughan MILLS. Yep, a giant mall, filled with 200 stores including a Coach outlet. So of course, I bought a cute new black leather swing pack, and a bright coral wristlet. Both adorable. My mom bought a black leather purse, a black swing pack, a wristlet, and she bought me a passport holder, and my aunt (in Ontario) a new wristlet. My aunt (in Alberta), spent 1500 dollars.. well that’s not true. That’s what she would have spent had we not been at an outlet. Her total came to 400 dollars... 900 dollars in savings. Can you even believe that? Finally I went to American Eagle and French Connection, where I bought a new belt, a sweatshirt, a pair of jeans and a pair of green cargo pants (suuuper cute). The most amazing thing is: only 5% tax. Not 13% like Ontario, but FIVE PERCENT. It’s unreal. You save so much on tax, causing you to buy way more.
I have to wrap this up quickly we are just about to head out, so forgive me for rushing through this last bit. We went to the casino (there are 7 in Calgary alone) for my first time ever... it’s just not fun. I didn’t win anything, and I had to pay for a drink. Annoying. My aunt however won about 3000 dollars. OF SLOT MACHINES! I couldn’t believe my eyes. So I was a bit sad, and tired. We came home around 1:30 Calgary time (3:30 Ontario time) and I stayed up watching Full House (of course) until about 5 am Ontario time. Don’t know how I did it, or why.. but I did.
SO TODAY: it’s raining quite a bit, so we’re skipping the Calgary Tower but we’re going to the Science Center (BODY WORLDS is there, I missed it in Toronto), the Saddle Dome, some more shopping (for the wedding on Tuesday) and a few other touristy things.
I’ll check back in later today hopefully. On a final note, although it’s pretty redneck out here, I’ve seen toooo many good looking guys. Sadly, no pictures yet, so I’ll work on that today.
Until next time,
Mr. Famous, xo
I'm on a plane!
Hey! I’m currently sitting on the plane, going through some mild turbulence. Not a huge deal though, just a thunderstorm that we’re going around. -- no word of the day today. sorry! :)
I’m watching Full House (of course, because I’m obsessed), and it’s the Christmas episode where the Tanner clan travels to Colorado. I just needed to quickly jot down on paper (no internet of course) how excited I am for Christmas to come. First there is my birthday, and then of course Thanksgiving, BUT THEN, Christmas. I love the smells or orange and cinnamon, the Christmas music that jingles through all shopping malls and stores, as well as the gorgeous decorations that cover houses, streets and of course, the malls.
--------------------------------------------------
I’m off the plane, fully rested, and in Calgary. I was pretty much up for 24-hours, without the time change. My eyes were burning, I was pale, and I was pretty much a walking zombie. As you can tell, I’m a huge baby that needs beauty sleep on the regular. I’m so excited for everyone to wake up, and start touring this wonderful city. When we arrived, it was 19 degrees, which I thought was fairly nice... until I fell asleep. I slept in my normal gear, a long (Blue Jays) t-shirt and underwear. Normally I sweat in that attire, but last night I WAS FREEZING. I’m not sure if I can exaggerate that enough. My teeth were chattering, my body was in a ball, and I was shivering. It just was too cold. So now I’m wearing sweat pants, and socks... socks. Ha! can you even believe it? I haven’t worn socks (aside from at the gym) in like 6 months. My teeth hurt so much this morning from chattering all night, I can’t even chew very well.
I don’t really have anything else to blog about, nothing exciting has really happened. I watched about 7 episodes of Full House on the plane, where my in front and backwards neighbours (the people that sat directly in front of me, and behind me) were the worst neighbours ever. The one in front, fully reclined which fully pressed on my laptop, and the one behind, kept expelling gas and pushing her knees into my chair causing it to bounce up and down for the whole flight. I was really not impressed, but a pretty good flight over all:)
Until next time,
Mr. Famous, xo

'Bye Ontario
Hiiiiii! How is everyone today? I hope well.. It's Friday of a long weekend. Now, I understand the day immediately following the holiday is the first day back at school, but let's not think that far ahead shall we?
Today is finally my last day of work. I've completed 4 long months of working at 9-5 job. I bet some people would love to have a 9-5 job, but for me, I'm more go with the flow, and spontaneous. I happen to hate routine, so getting up at the same time every day, and coming home at the same time, really starts to bother me. That's why I love university! Some days, I get to wake up at 12, and others I'm up at 530 am. So, it's an everchanging environment.
I'm leaving work early so I can catch my flight to Calgary tonight. It's funny, 'cause I had a dream that Adrian Grenier was in Alberta... God how I wish that was true... Anyway, I'm so excited for my trip: West Edmonton Mall, horseback riding through the Rockies, a dip in the hot springs in Banff, and the beautiful scenery of the West Coast. The only thing that's holding me back is my sweet dog Ozzy. He's just getting so old and fragile, that the mere thought of leaving him for 10 days breaks my heart in half. Maybe I'm being a baby, or a suck, but so many things could happen in that time period. Being that he's a great dane/german shepherd mix, and 10 years old, he's already surpassed his expected life span. So, I took a bunch of pictures of him to keep with me on my phone doing cute, every day things.
Let's talk boys for a minute. I realllllyyyy put myself out there to the blonde, in a band guy. I texted him with a direct message: "When do I get to see your band at least practice? :)" I was TRYING to be witty, and flirty... obviously it didn't work, or he's just not interested, so forget him. I'm not really into the whole chasing thing. I understand that it's sometimes fun to play cat and mouse, but quite frankly, it just annoys me. Why do I want to play games? Simple answer: I don't. So if he's not willing to take a bite, then I give up. Easy peasy, right? Wrong. If only it was that easy.. especially as fall approaches, and all you can think about going to pumpkin patches, picking apples, and getting ready for Christmas... all with a "boyfriend" of course. Oh well, I won't get too upset about it. I have plenty of other things to look forward to, and to be happy about.
I probably should concentrate on working now. My next blog entry, you'll know, I'll be blogging it from Alberta. Think about me looking at the mountains, maybe some wolves and bears, and who knows what else!
Until next time,
Mr. Famous, xo
