"We'll put the lonesome on the shelf"

I've got some new stuff for the shop, I just haven't found the time yet to photograph and post it! I'm holding some of it in the photo (I know, I promised no more bad photos ... sorry!). The pearly ones in the back are two pretty pretty anklets, the dark one which you can't really see is a nifty men's bracelet made with dark wood beads and jet glass leaves, and the one in front is made with square salwag seed beads and little turquoise stone beads. I especially like that bracelet!

In other news ... I was freaking something awful about this thing with my friend. I spent last night convincing myself not to call him and trying to chill, although I was wildly unsuccessful. In chilling: I did manage not to call. Part of my worries was that he would just disappear. It's happened before. But he didn't!! So I'm feeling much less paranoid now. It's good. We talked on the phone tonight and it was nice. And we have plans for after Christmas. Can't wait can't wait.

Do unicorns exist now?

[it's possible!!]

"This girl is absolutely fabulous. Not only is she beautiful and intelligent, but she is also one of the nicest people I know. I am positive she will find the guy of her dreams because there aren't many girls this awesome out there."

My friend wrote that about me and it is one of the nicest and most unexpected things. I feel so warm and fuzzy right now, haha.
I hope he is right.

My mind's in a cafuffle and all a-buzz right now...I've gone on a few dates lately and nothing's felt right so far, for lack of a better (longer) description...

I just cut the paragraph I was writing to describe this ... I think it's too personal, haha. Anyhow, I'm trying to sort out my feelings for a friend of mine... things are complicated, but he makes me happy, and I wonder if I should just trust in that and go for it ... I'm afraid one of us will end up getting hurt. Thus my indecision/confusion/constant thinking.

Hurrr. Bed-time. No more internet ramblings for now.
xxo.

Life can be so random and unexpected. And nice.

My love life is either dull/dead or completely ridiculous and often hard to keep a handle on...
There is rarely an in-between, it seems.

I had a bit of a snow fight last night. It can't be called a snow-ball fight because the snow wouldn't stick to any form, just fell away to powder. We ran down Vancouver streets at 1am throwing snow and laughing. It was lovely.

Melodrama

Ug.
I am at that point again where I am sort of feeling like maybe it's my fault & I'm flawed...
So ok we're all flawed, but regardless...
My more "sensible" side likes to think that isn't the case.
That I shouldn't take other peoples' issues, insecurities, mistakes and meanness personally.
That I just haven't met someone I fit well with in awhile, but it will happen and it will be good.
That seems so unrealistic right now.

Sometimes I am so emo it hurts to read my own writing.
I guess looking for Garden State/Belle & Sebastien/Juno/Snow & Bigby/Go-Getter is possibly unrealistic, or at least a slim possibility.
I am hopeless.

And yet I have two dates this week, Patrick and Sam are still around & RF appears or messages at the oddest times and leaves me wondering ... So I guess I haven't given up yet.

Tis the season to be ill ... boo!!

That is hopefully the worst photo you will ever have to endure on this blog. I won't even try to explain or excuse it... I just feel entries without pictures are kind of lackluster. Anyhoo.

I'm icky sick!! Some evil sort of cold monster has taken over my immune system and seems determined to stick around. Anyhow, I wanted to give a little update on what's coming in the shop, and I thought I'd throw some recommendations your way while I was here.

My picks of the week:

The film "The Go-Getter." Watch it! Enjoy! It's refreshing as it's not a Hollywood cookie-cutter script, and it's really sweet. Truly. I look forward to watching it again.

The book "delible" by Anne Stone. It's a heavy subject; basically the story of girl's sister who goes missing. I thought it would be depressing and dark, but I found it sweet and heartbreaking. It's a pretty quick read too. I really enjoyed it.

This bear toque! It makes me think of Tank Girl and Zombie Hunters. Wicked awesome! I want one!!

As for things coming to my shop...

The glass pearls on the left of my shitastic photo are for some anklets (I got some pretty pink & peach seed beads for them as well) and the earrings are some shiny chandeliers I quite like which will be in the shop just as soon as I get proper photos of them. I'm still recovering from school, holiday staff parties and this germ. I still have one exam to go as well :(
Sad pandas. Anyhow, I do hope to really get going in a bigger way with jewelry soon.
