we rockin stilettos, ho! we rockin stilettos, ho!

my 100th post!

darcy and paul came to visit this weekend. paul with his hurt arm. i was so happy they came to stay. we got to play midnight croquet and go to my friend beth's samosa party. they ordered 100 samosa and not only 30 was eaten, even though they were delious. i regret not having more than one, but i was too full from the all you can eat chinese food buffet at 3 in the afternoon. it was $7.50, so it was good and bad as you can expect. we also got to go to the old port, and see the st. lawrence which i actually hadn't seen yet.

paul made graeme and mike laugh all weekend. i'm happy they got along. paul even had a heart to heart with my friend shaun.

before paul and darcy came i was working nonstop (and really nonstop, i haven't worked that hard in a long time, probably since the last time i pulled an allnighter) on my drawing project. i made three pictures of embroidered images. wanna see, just cause i've worked so hard? its a semidocuemtation of the making of an apron, with an embroidered semiporn american apparel ad. thanks krista for the pinup images.

well, i don't know if this will work. or if you will be able to see it.



when i told my teacher that i wanted to embroider, which she was really excited about, she sent me the name of an artist she saw in new york, ghada amer. she embroiders porn images, and leaves the ends of the threads loose. i think it's interesting so i'm going to show you that too.



i think they're great.

i've been travelling a lot lately, or at least it feels like it. last weekend i headed to ottawa for my grandfather's interment service, and saw a lot of family i haven't seen since i was a little. it was nice to get to know them. i also got to see kira, who loves to babble and scream cause she can. its neat to hear her say up after you ask her if she wants up. she also knows how to say dadada, and mamama when she is really upset.

and i'll get to see them again this weekend! i'm going to caledon for two days and then i'm taking the bus to kingston to my cottage - and i'm excited. i'm excited to see kira run around, swimming and everything, and it will be a good distraction for my grampy not being around. i'm going to go again next weekend, when mike deane will be at his uncle's cottage which is on the same bay. my cottage neighbours matt and mitch will also be down which will be F-U-N.

i've also been spending a lot of time getting applications ready for school psychology programs. there seems to be an overwhelming amount of work to do for them. unfortunately, the programs that i think i'm going to get into are in alberta and british columbia. there is a program here but i want to go somewhere mike will be able to work, and in montreal that is impossible. and it's the only program where i would have to do the GREs, which are a bummer. a couple of years in a town won't be so bad, right? could be fun, right? i hope so.

aiight. this is boring.



i've been thinking a lot about dartmouth and how everyone is not going to live in the same place together again. i guess it took me this long to realize that, that my bestfriends will be scattered and our friendship will be based on phone calls, emails, and (in)frequent visits. i think about this everytime someone comes and then leaves again. it always makes me sad.


okokok. you should download crime mob, the song stilettos (pumps). its my coffee in the morning.

kathy i love. i want to see it closer up though. i want to touch it (i like to touch things). i like this post because it tells me what you have been doing and i like it because it is a post. a little bird told me blog posting is cool again. i'm happy she told you, too. can't wait to see you. really can't wait. if not for a brief stint in montreal then in 2 or so weeks in halifax every day for 3 weeks? i don't know about you but i'm not planning in never living in a city with my friends again. that is dumb. lets just decide to make it happen somehow.
k?

love,
Jillian
