random pictures and/or "inspiration"
true. (rob ryan)
my wife &i are going to sell cupcakes in Longyearbyen,
where a man sells kebabs out of that truck. (the red polar bear)
this is for my favourite mormon in the whole wide world (it's an lds temple)
this is very close to where i work on the weekends &in the summer.
this is a pretty girl. (i doubt you'll see this, but you are, you are.)
the way i see it.
this is my homie patrick watson &his band.
this is.
my vegan anarchist cousin told me i was very indie fresca¹ for bragging only occasionally, and today is a day to be indie fresh! back in march i found out about a governmental writing contest & decided to participate. however, in typical carli fashion, i kept putting it off & finally wrote it the night before the deadline, until 3am. i believe i was the most stressed i've been in a long time, and this year i've been stressed out a lot. i've been thinking about it most days since then, and today during a french exam i was still thinking about it when the vice principal came in with a letter, and i had a feeling, and as soon as she said Ministère de l'Éducation i knew it was for me. and so i won. this year has been increasingly hard for me, school-wise, i've never been less driven. i was starting to think i wouldn't get anywhere, but i was invited to the school merit gala, and this. i used to always be the smartest kid around, and everyone must've thought that i was a promizing child, but i hadn't achieved anything extraordinary in two years. so i guess i needed to win. i only like competition when i'm sure i'm going to win. (the prize is a laptop &a trip to Québec City for the 400th anniversary show with Céline Dion, aha.)
i'm pretty content with my life these days. i went to see eisley on april 28th, which was, quite honestly, a longtime dream come true. i gave them timbits. but i'd made cookies. i'm a dork. i think my biggest problem right now is finding someone to see death cab with me, since everyone i asked will be out of town, is broke or don't like them. actually, my biggest problem is finding the right fabric for my prom dress, and that should be solved sunday. i should write the way i used to, i didn't talk about silly stuff like this.
anyway, montrealers, Blank on ste-cath is having a moving-out sale. i got a hoodie for $30, down from $50. also, the people at Miga are really sweet, the lady lent me this pages jaunes-thick korean magazine to read, with the weirdest ads in it. and it's super cheap, especially the neat lunch trays.
