| I had a bit of a tumutuous childhood, as many of us have. In the midst of the tumult (is that a word?) most photos from my childhood were lost, or never taken. I have always felt a bit ripped off for not having such records of my growth from baby to babe. Haha...
Anyway, knowing this, my dear mummy surprised me the other day with some copies of pictures from.. you guessed it, my childhood, that I hadn't seen previously. -I love the pause a picture demands. These ones anyway. ...reminders that I was a child, that my brothers were too... You can't help but smile and sigh at the sweet combination of innocense and mischief captured in these pictures. (And probably most of your own photos from way back when). You can't help but let your mind and memories, hopes and sorrows wander as you peruse the stills. Life is funny and beautiful.
The pictures came from a friend of my mother's. Once upon a time her and her two children, and my mom and her three joined efforts to form one happy family! Two single moms and five children under 10. I wonder what it was like for our mums?!
There is a twinkle in the eye of one of the kids from "the other mom" that of course I didn't see as a child. Come to think of it, I see it in my oldest brother too. ...it's an awareness. Joy. -Mischief! And as I type I wonder if there is a connection as they were both the eldest in their famlies.
I don't think I see that mischief on my face, although I believe it found its way to me later in life. I lookl... I don't know. Sweet. Just like sugar and spice and all that. A bit of a raggamuffin, and chubby to be sure!
My smile looks different and I can't help but notice how much I looked like my dad.

| Stuck in the basement, sitting on a bicycle, girl gettin on my nerves
Going outta my mind, I thought she was fine, don't know if her body is hers...
It has been a long long while since I visited this blog and even now I haven't much to say.
I'm sitting in my pj's watching a movie with my buddy Bonnie... or Betty as I dubbed her today... It's only 20 after nine but I am dead to the world and have been since early this afternoon.
There's a little chihuahua in my house who happened to poo on Bonnie's bed just a few short hours ago. I hear the gentle whir of the washing machine in the background as I type. A little to my right is a giant square pamper-type thingy that has also been graced with a little poopsicle. Happy Father's day.
How those go together I am not quite sure...
I happen to have a rather weighty craving for freshly bakes chocolate chips cookies but am lacking a squishy little white marshmellow man so my buds'll remain neglected for the night. Perhaps I'll trick myself tomorrow at work and warm a cookie or two...
Well, these are the nothings of my day. Sometimes tired and lazy make for a perfect day... a perfect poo-filled day. | | |
| I am a huge blog slacker.
And I am ok with that.

| I know it has been about a hundred years since my last post... and that it happens quite frequently... I am a bit embarassed... only not really.
Anyway, quick update:
-I decided not to take the bakery job.
-I am heading to Calgary in May to visit my mommy.
-I slept in today... a lot.
-I am about to eat a cupcake, as well as finish painting one.
-I want new clothes.
-I got my hair chopped off.
No pictures yet... but if I take one, I will post it.
As you were. | | |
| One last interview and I am officially done school for four months! The last three went quite well. Teacher's input is as follows so far:
-Painting/printmaking: I gained freedom this term and really shone (cool! Still have work to do though)
-Performance/Video art: I seem to know what it all is and how it works. I have things to say, thoughts that my teacher knows are in my head and at times I need to speak up more. She likes my writing! 14/15 on weinart... good work but I think I lost the mark because it is a bit too much like a music video (true)
-Sculpture: Strong work, could improve by more comprehensive journalling, aka; write down my thoughts and ideas as I learn and process...
That was boring wasn't it? Ah well.
In other news it looks as if I have a full time job for the summer at a little bakery. Good hours, adequate pay and free food! Plus, I want to try and stay on at the Bizzle cuz it's just such a fun place to be.
So far it looks like my travelling plans could be Calgary and perhaps even whales before I return back to school! We shall see but my fingers are crossed.
I will leave you with some pictures of work done in printmaking this term. *I like the flamingo girl the most!
