My new blog spot will be with tumblr no longer blogger, only because I do enjoy writing long posts so I can go in depth about that topic, but I simply don't have time. I'd much rather post 5 small posts in a day with photos, links, quotes, or a bit of text. Anything that it might be, so if you enjoy reading what I have to say please redirect your mouses towards my tumblr blog: QUACK

GOODMORNING!! Or Mid-day or evening depending where you are in the world or what time of day it is when you read this. Either way, that's yummy looking toast isn't it? So anyways, I just started college for graphic design. It's an entirely new world, I'm nervous and I haven't made friends yet but I feel very optimistic :) I'm very excited about this new section of my life. I really want to update and do all these many things I have in my head, but as people say so much to do so little time. :) I'll just end saying I'm very happy right now. By the way check out LIGHTS. I love her so much and her new song "The Listening" has got me under it's spell.

"The Listening" by LIGHTS
Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear
It must just be stress
But I likely shouldn't be here, I'm such a mess

I never really ever know what to say
When all of my emotions get in the way
I'm just trying to get us on the same page (Wish I could explain)

I always get it better right afterward
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
How come I can never get the right words, I need to convey
Wish I could explain The things that I have to work out

I don't feel right
What has come over me, I'm about
To lose my mind

I never really ever know what to say
When all of my emotions get in the way
I'm just trying to get us on the same page (Wish I could explain)

I always get it better right afterward
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
How come I can never get the right words, I need to convey
Wish I could explain

Can I let the trees do the talking
Can I let the ground do the walking
Can I let the sky fill what's missing
Can I let my mouth do the listening, the listening

I never really ever know what to say
When all of my emotions get in the way
I'm just trying to get us on the same page

I always get it better right afterward
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
How come I can never get the right words, I need to convey
Wish I could explain
What I mean to say

Tender Love and Care

2009-09-01T08:38:00.000-04:00

Good morning dreamers, all I needed to give my body was a little tender love and care. I'm 99% better. A runny nose and the slightest sore throat, but everything else is fine now. Also IT'S SEPTEMBER. SCHOOL SEASON. AHH.

: ) So I woke up and signed onto my aim this morning just to notice an interesting story on the front page of the AOL website. A few years ago a young woman by the name of Callie Rogers won $3 million in a British lotto. She blew most of her money on shopping and drugs. She was only 16 at the time she won; she is now 22 and has two children of her own. She says that she’s broke now even though she still has about $32,000 left.

Now honey, I have ALL kinds of critism(sp? LOL, critism on the spelling of my word critism.) for you. First things first, when you win that money there are a couple things that need to cross your mind. Mostly about the future: Do I plan on having children in the future? Do I plan on buying a house and getting married? Those two questions ALONE will cost A LOT of money. Weddings are generally expensive, and kids are a lifetime of fortune. Now it’s never too early in your life to think about marriage and kids. Heck, we’re still in kindergarten when we start playing house and decide on who is going to be the mommy, and the daddy. Another question that should cross your mind is a career in the future. What are tuition costs for school, how much for transportation, books, residence, etc. Eventually the money is going to run out and she would have to work like everybody else.

Personally if I had won that amount of money I would automatically divide it by half and give it to charity. I know that I don’t have what it takes to handle such a large sum of money because money does lead to greed no matter who you are in the world. To be even more honest, I’m kind of bad with money. My mom is the money guru out of all of my relatives; whiz with numbers. I would go to her first and pay her to be my accountant; I think that would be fair. I would set aside money for my father as well. He’s kind of bankrupt, so I’d help him get out of half his debt. Why not all you ask, simply because people need motivation, not a solution. If I just gave him all the money he’d go bankrupt again.

If anyone reads my blog I would love to hear what you would do if you won the lottery or maybe just to comment on what I am saying about Callie Rogers.

I went on an excursion to downtown Toronto the other day. I was on Spadina in Chinatown and I got off onto this strange little street with my friend. I can’t remember the name of the street. They had the cutest little festival going on! A bubble machine was going, people were dancing in the streets and a live band was playing. It was so cool to see a real cello up close (those really big violins). Anywho, we stopped into this cute little store and I found an awesome Bob Marley tee and Che Guevara bag that I wish I picked up!! Now wouldn’t those look good walking down the street? Lol

Shoutout for the day?

This one goes to my good long time middle school friend Thusha. I love reading her blog and keeping up with her. She has a lot of interesting tid-bits now and again. So if you had time to stop and read this you can read hers too. ..Trust me, her stories are shorter. http://thushaa.tumblr.com/

Love you long time. <3

My apologies as I am very sick today and unable to speak. I had to ask for my work to send me home because I was feeling so awful. I’m glad I did because only an hour and a half later I was passed out sleeping in my bed. I thought it might have something to do with my wicked awful fall allergies but I was wrong, just sickness. So hopefully I get better soon so I can continue blogging.

On another note, I have plenty updates I need to do. Yes! I did finish high school; a new step into the future as I venture off to college. I am very excited as well as nervous; I know that I’m going to be very busy and very tired a lot of the time. I didn’t end up going to prom after a lot of fuss. I don’t really want to explain why and have that plastered all over the interweb. Let’s just say that some schools put the student’s well being after the idea of acquiring money. I ended up taking that class that I was planning to drop months ago. It was a fitness class for grade 11’s. It came in very handy I think, I can run around a track a couple times now. :D

Now for the interesting part of the blog: Have you ever heard of Lena Fujii? She’s a great Japanese model and she also sings. What makes her a modeling master is that she is photogentic from every angle you catch her at. Some models may move in a direction that gives them a bad look, but Lena doesn’t have a bad angle. I’m not the biggest fan of her songs, but I do like the song ‘Brighter Like Light’ Produced by DJ Kawasaki. Type her into google images and you’ll get a bunch of hits. She appears on the well known VIVI magazine regularly enough. Something I really like about her is the fashion behind her, there’s just a lot of ideas that she gives me that make me want to come out with my own line of clothing or something crazy like that!! Lol I love this little fall number she’s wearing.

This image has nothing to do with Ms. Fujii but I think it would be the cutest Halloween costume! It’s like a cute little pink fluffy fairy or something. Aww.

Another fashion photo I loved that I found online is this chick. Her hair and personal style looks amazing, and that’s what I think people should be more focused on. Who cares about designer name brands? If you’re all decked out in brands you have no creativity unless you put your own spin on it. So kudos to this girl!

On The Intersection of Wakefulness and Sleepiness

Welcome lovely person to my little blog, which is located on that feeling between sleepiness wakefulness. On this blog I intend to discuss what is going on in my life, and my many various interests. Hopefully it might catch your interest as well!

First I'd like to start out by saying thank you for stopping by to visit my site when you could be doing other things. I'll say a few things about myself, my name is Tess and I am in my final year of high school. I'm interested in graphic design, fashion, music and electronics. I'm going to college for either graphic design, animation or digital media arts. My life is very busy at the moment because I need to attend five portfolio exams at each college while studying hard in high school. I also work weekends and I need to get my hours increased to pay all those college fees. Tuition, preliminary test fees, books, transportation. Uughh. But all in all I'm still excited to graduate and get out of high school! Thinking about school, I need to ask for my fee back from a class I'm planning on dropping. It's a grade eleven fitness course. The only reason I took it was because there wasn't anything else to take. I'll figure that out later.

Ahh! That reminds me that I have semi-formal on Feburary 12th. I'm just planning on having fun partying with my girls. Also, IF I decide to go to prom I think I'll take my boyfriend to that. I had ideas of dresses I want to wear. I wanted a dress with a high neck, sleeveless, the colour would be cream, it would reach my mid-thigh and be somewhat feathery/frilly. Like in the first photo, but since I haven't done that much planning for semi-formal and decided on it last minute I don't know what I'm going to wear. Everything seems to be comming so fast that I'm really stressed out. I think I'll just go with any dress that looks nice. I mean, there's nobody that I need to impress right? :)

Well that's the end of my rant.

Now, to the most interesting section of the blog.

Anyone who loves music should check out the artist LIGHTS.
I'm so excited because she's coming back to Toronto from her Canadian tour and she's performing on the 21st! I'm trying to get tickets to go with some friends. So majorly excited. LIGHT'S music will just make you fall in love. She's also a gamer-girl so kudos to her! The typical image of one is a fat ugly chick with no friends, and I'm glad that LIGHTS is showing people out there who doubt us gamers that we don't fit that superstition. :)

And lastly, but for GOODNESS SAKES not least, the great fashion guru Joolee from youtube. Her fashion tips are inspiring, interesting, and a little obsessive. But all those things are what I love about her and her advice. She's soooo beautiful and knowledgeable about her make-up it really excites me.
