ridiculousness at its finest

This blog has a little bit of everything. I'm going to try to post an entertaining aspect of my life every day as well as provide posts of all the things I find interesting or funny. There will especially be many posts about Tom Hiddleston. Welcome to the world of a fourth year physical geography student who also works, interns, tutors and is off to teachers college abroad next year: it's ridiculousness at its finest.

Okay. But let’s talk about Thor for a second. Thor does not get enough love and (Loki forgive me) he is honestly one of the best fucking characters Marvel has. And it’s shown so simply and so beautifully right here. He is so fucking chill about everything. Obviously, he doesn’t live in space, he lives in Asgard. But he knows everyone thinks he’s kinda like an alien, and he just goes along with it because why not? These humans are funny in their lack of understanding, but it’s an endearing kind of funny. Just like in the first movie, where Darcy tells him to smile so she can take a picture of him and he has no fucking clue what she’s doing or what a phone is and it could kill him for all he knows but he just fucking smiles and keeps eating his delicious pancakes because he’s just so chill like that. And if you look at his face in the first gif, it’s very serious and concentrated but the moment Darcy starts talking to him he loosens up and is like “Muscles? Ah, yes I suppose I am quite muscular. Oh, she’s inquiring about Asgard. But she called it space. She seems confused as to my origins, but it’s not of import. I like space, that’s a good name. I shall call it space too.”

And that little head nod he does back to her in the last gif. I’m dead. Deceased. Murdered from Thor cuteness. 

He’s just.. ugh, Thor doesn’t get enough appreciation. There are so many little things he does that go ignored but no more. His complete adorableness will be appreciated.

02/12/14 To be alone and happy

One of my many theories in life is that a person can only be truly happy when they are happy with solely their own company. And this is what blows my mind about people that are constantly in relationships: how can you actually know who you are if you can't be 100% happy completely by yourself. Ultimately the only person you can depend on is yourself so I feel like you gotta get to know this person pretty well.

I am currently having an alone and happy moment. It's 1:23am on a Wednesday and I am drinking wine, painting my nails and dancing on my couch by myself. I'm also thinking of all the assholes I have surrounded myself with in the last two years and realizing that I would take this moment: this ecstatic moment of solitude on a normal Wednesday over any of the time I spent with them any day.

This actually makes me quite proud of myself, for once I'm not looking for anyone and I'm enjoying learning to love myself in my entirety :) Do I still slightly doubt that any man will love me as much as I love myself? oh hells yes, but that's something i'm working on. But that will come in time. For now I am perfectly content knowing that there is someone on the other side of the world that may love me as much as I love me and spending these lovely average Wednesday mornings drinking wine and dancing to Hedley. And because of that I will be stronger and a more well-rounded individual.

If only I could challenge the world to learn as I have. If I could, I would challenge every woman in the world to spend a year by themselves, learn everything they can about themselves, love themselves and then find someone that loves all those things too. Those to me, are strong women and I'm proud to be one.

01/25/2014 All the assholes

If there is one thing that I dislike the most in this world are people who are genuine assholes. I've encountered a lot of them in my life and i'm so done with having to deal with them A recent example of the kind of mcfuckery i've had to deal with lately was an event from last night. I was out with friends at a country bar and i was talking with these two guys and trying to get the one to break out of his comfort zone and dance. I had introduced the two guys to my roommate and her fiance and the one guy said to them while i was dancing with the other 'we're still looking for someone hotter, the only reason he's dancing with her is because she's been the first one to come over to us'............. He said that. About me. To my friends. WHO DOES THAT???????????????? Also these guys were 33 and 31. I'm 21. My maturity was blatantly greater than theirs. Regardless to say i promptly fucked off away from them after my friends told me because not just me, but no one deserves to be treated like that. Now you can see the cuntmuffin douchecanoes i have to encounter on a regular basis. The message from all this: if you're a guy or a girl and you fully comprehend that you're an asshole, CUT IT THE FUCK OUT OR ELSE YOU WILL BE PUNCHED IN THE FACE. Because good, kind people like me are tired of your shit.

01/16/14 PALE PEOPLE CAN WEAR BRONZER TOO!!

So today's post has a makeup theme. Because it's the beginning of the semester which means 0 homework and loads of free time, i've been experimenting with my makeup a bit and this is what I have discovered:

PALE PEOPLE CAN WEAR BRONZER TOO!!!

I have read so many blogs written by people with supposedly "pale skin" and they all say "I don't wear bronzer because I love my pale skin and I don't want to conform and look tan". To this I call BULLSHIT!! 

My skin is one shade darker than albino, you can literally follow every vein and artery through my body because i'm so seethrough. And I LOVE my pale skin! It has been a long time coming, but pale skin is so beautiful and delicate and I've learned to love mine. And even with loving my pale skin, I have learned that I can wear bronzer and not look like a total twat.

I'd like you to look at this picture and tell me if I am "conforming to look tanned"

The simple answer, my good people is NO! I AM STILL ONE SHADE DARKER THAN ALBINO!! AND i'm wearing bronzer. But you see how my cheekbones look fucking awesome? And how you can actually distinguish my nose from the rest of my face? THAT IS WHAT BRONZER CAN DO FOR YOU MY FELLOW PALE BRETHREN! 

I actually stayed away from bronzer for YEARS because I would always read things saying "pale people shouldn't wear bronzer, it'll make them look orange" or "love your pale skin so don't wear bronzer". But then I finally decided to grow a pair of lady balls and say fuck y'all i'm wearing fucking bronzer! So I bought some. 

I'm currently wearing essence sun club matt bronzing powder in their shade for blondes-lighter skin. I look a big fluffy powder brush, blended the bronzer under my cheekbones, up along my temples and along the side of my forehead until I reached my hair line. Then I also ran it down the sides of my nose. This little trick my friends is called contouring. Contouring allows you to see every single one of your lovely facial features and will also prevent the dreaded "where'd my nose go?" when your nose blends into the rest of your face if you've had your picture taken with a really bright flash.

So for all of you beautiful pale people out there who are scared to touch bronzer, I want you to know that YOU CAN WEAR IT TOO!! Just make sure you apply it properly and you find a shade that isn't too dark. This is the shade i'm wearing compared to my skin

So now go forth, love your pale skin, and wear your bronzer like the angelic looking champions you are!

01/14/14 When you're that creepy person

It has been a while since I have posted anything and so I thought I'd tell you the story of how today I was a creepy person.

You know those times when you think back to all the people you grew up with and how some only went to your school for a year or two then moved away and you never heard from them since? Well I had one of those moments this evening when I though about a girl I knew back in grade 3. I always wondered whatever happened to her so I decided to look her up on facebook (this creeping is always easier when you have photographic memory and can remember the person's name and face extremely well). And sure enough I'm pretty sure I found her!

And that's when I became that creepy person.... I sent her a message.

I said Hi! I know this is totally random and you probably don't remember who I am but I think you are the (insert name here) I went to (insert school here) in (insert town here), Ontario with waaaaayyy back in grade 3. I was talking to my roommate about people we had gone to elementary school with and I was like "I wonder whatever happened to (name), she was such a nice person....." So I decided to look and I'm pretty sure you're her. If you are the (name) I'm thinking of then I hope you are doing well :) If not, then now you have a hilarious story to tell your friends :P

Yep. Today I was that creepy person and I'm proud of it!!

01/07/14 That one person

I feel like everyone has that one person in their life that just tries to make their life a living hell. And I know, I know people always say "only surround yourself with people who love and support you" but sometimes you can't...

because sometimes they're in your classes...

half your classes of the semester...

AND YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THEM!!!!! No matter where you go or what you do, that ONE person always shows up and there's nothing you can do about it. 

And even though you know that no matter what, you will always be a better person than that one person, they still make you scared. Scared that somehow they'll bring you back to that horrible state of mind they put you in before. Scared that they'll somehow manage to pull something off that ruins your entire future. 

I know that sounds like ridiculous worrying, but remember, this is ridiculousness at it's finest. Like it's totally ridiculous to think that they might accuse you of plagiarism and you won't be able to graduate, or think they might pour hydrochloric acid or some shit on your eyepiece of your microscope. But hey, stranger things have happened.

If you have the same issues as me with that one person then you know how I feel. So you, like I, need to follow in the words of General Sir Isaac Brock and SURGITE! (It means push on). Because Karma's a bitch and she'll get that one person in the end.

And besides, you deserve nothing but the best

01/06/14 The things that make your day

Today I had two phenomenal things happen to me today. 

First: I received my official acceptance letter for teachers college (2 and a half months after my interview)

Second: I was working and I had a girl come up to the desk and say "this is going to sound random... but I attended your geography tutoring sessions last year and I wanted to thank you because without you, I wouldn't have passed the course. You're the one that helped me pass, you're awesome :D"

TOTALLY MADE MY DAY!!! This is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year but for me it's already one of the best :D

....even despite the cold... :P

01/05/14 We're on the road again

We're on the road again used to be a tv show on cbc when I was little. It was pretty great, Wayne Rondstat would drive all around Canada and would talk to interesting people and hear their stories. I think it was from this show in combination with all the weekend day trips my parents and I would take when I was little that sparked my love of the open road.

I think Bryan Adams said it best with "life is an open road it's a fresh story never told it's an endless sky it's the deepest sea, life is an open road to me". No feeling is quite like the one of getting behind the wheel and embarking on a journey. Something about knowing that you don't know what lies in front of you, knowing that your destination is down the road farther than you can see, and always knowing that there's an element of danger to every trip makes for an exhilarating experience. 

Now there are some people that take this a bit too far and hit the road with an intention of putting their lives and the lives of others at risk by driving recklessly. My ex did this all the time, he thought he was invincible. But to me, endangering others for a cheap thrill is never worth it. Especially when driving within itself is a thrill. But maybe that's just me, I have a tendency to enjoy the small things in life.

I know many people for whom the act of driving has become an annoying chore over the years because they've lost the excitement in the journey. It's become routine for them and now all they can concentrate on is how bad the drive is. I never want to become that. I never want to be like that. I don't want to give up on the idea of the Sunday drive because gas is too expensive and there's other things to do. I don't want my future children to not experience the wonder of looking out the window at ever changing scenery and create those memories that were so dear to me. I believe that a road trip does many good things for the soul.

Now, why all this talk of driving you may ask? Well I had to drive back to school today. It was just a 45 minute drive along the QEW, nothing too exciting. But as I was driving I realized that this will be the last and only time I get to drive myself back to school after christmas break (I will be graduating in June). And next year I'll be in a foreign country and won't be able to drive. So although that 45 minutes on one of the busiest highways in the entire world wasn't anything of excitement- it was all scenery I have seen MANY times before- it will always be a memory because of the circumstances in which that drive took place.

The roads are slippery out there, so be careful, but always remember to enjoy your ride. :)

01/03/14-01/04/14 How to be a True Canadian

Over the past two days I have thought of the many things that makes one a true Canadian. I'm seventh generation Canadian (my fam jam has been here since the 1820's) so I feel like I have some expertise on the subject. After the shenanigans I took part in last night, I have made a list of the 5 things that could make one a true Canadian:

1) Go in a hot tub when it is snowing and significantly below freezing. This was accomplished last night with my partner in crime/bff Allison. We had to walk in the snow in bare feet to reach the hot tub, it was snowing out and it was approximately -17 degrees celcius. True Canadians.

2) Barbecue in the snow in the middle of winter. Canadians agree that barbecuing knows no bounds so if you crave that delicious grilled steak or chicken in the middle of the winter, true Canadians will go forth and conquer!  

3) Eat 100% pure Canadian Maple Syrup after it has been poured on a fresh pile of snow and then twirled on a popcicle stick. There is nothing in this world that is more sweet or more delicious.

4) Attend at least one hockey game where you sit right against the boards and pound on them like a maniac when your team scores. Hockey is our game. It's also while viewing a hockey game that you can be a genuine asshole and it's socially acceptable :P As well, the more games you go to, the more Canadian you are.

5)Follow the Canadian way of life: be incredibly polite, apologize a lot, accept everyone for who they are and what they believe, treat others as you would like to be treated, always reach for the stars, always be modest, and always remember to have a glowing heart. Do this and you will always be a true Canadian.

01/02/14 A funny dream

So today I had a lovely day shopping with one of my closest friends Emilie and then I got to catch up with my old coworker Cerise. It was a lovely time and to top it all off I GOT AN EREADER! So excited!

Now if you're not from Canada, be thankful you didn't get the weather we had today. Where I live it was -17 degrees celcius without the wind chill and in parts of Alberta it reacher -56 degrees celcius with the wind chill. That made Canada colder than the surface of Mars.

But enough about the weather, my goal is to entertain so for those in need of a good laugh, here is the dream I had two nights ago:

It all started with the dragon that lived in our toilet. I looked out the window in my parent's bedroom and I saw that there were a number of parcels and envelopes just sitting underneath a tree outside in the snow. I went into the bathroom and said to the dragon "what the fuck dragon?? You were supposed to deliver the mail! Go out and fix it!". The dragon was quite reluctant.

But before the dragon could go get the stuff outside, I looked again and they were gone! Then we heard a loud noise out on our patio. My mom and I looked out my bedroom window and there was a group of hillbillies on our patio stealing all our stuff! Like they look our furniture, the lightbulbs out of our christmas lights, everything! The screen on my window was open and my mom ended up talking to the head of the hillbillies while I excused myself to go phone the cops.

I called 911 and explained to the operator what was up and he totally didn't believe me so he hung up on me. By this time the hillbillies had made it into our outside storage area and were stealing all that stuff too. I was about to give up hope when all of a sudden my dad, my uncle terry, and my uncle brian all busted through the door carrying garbage can lid shields and swords. My dad said "THE CAVALRY IS HERE!" and they went off to go deal with the hillbillies. Then I woke up.

I think what was learned from this dream is always send your toilet-living dragons after the hillbillies stealing your stuff, it'll save you a lot of hassle :P
