Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope that your day is wonderful and have fun with family and friends! :)

carried.

I'm so excited.

From Wikipedia: "Après-ski (French: after skiing) refers to going out, having drinks, dancing, and generally socializing after skiing. It is popular in the Alps where skiers often stop at bars on their last run of the day while still wearing all their ski gear. The concept is similar to the nineteenth hole in golf. This can also happen anywhere in the world where there is snow."

home.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. The snow if falling, lights are hung, and my dear grandmother is jumping out of her skin that she has company in her small Ontario town for Christmas. It's interesting to go back to your roots. I've been coming to Goderich randomly for holidays, to see the grandparents, etc. for years, but I haven't come back since my grandfather passed away years ago. On the train, my visual picture of the house I had visited so many times seems so huge in my mind, and walking in the front door threw me for a complete loop. I couldn't remember so much of the home that I'm now sitting in, and it's fascinated by the change.

I've come from all over the place - born in Toronto, grew up in California, (then moved again in the Bay Area) then moved to Kelowna, British Columbia, and now I'm back to TO. I've had many homes, and the people that have come into my life in each place will be with me for the rest of my life, but I can't identify exactly where I would all the family home. As much as I have joked about coming to "scenic Goderich" (I'm still now pleased that I'm not in Kelowna home this year, but shall see you in February) has some aspect or home.

WHAT?

This place that I never wanted to come back to I know, and yet I think that Christmas might be okay this year. As much as I can't wait to get home, I think everything will be okay. Certainly being the splitting image of my mother according to many of the people in town, the visitors are the local celebrities, and it's been interesting. Shall see what more trouble I can get into, but Goderich will be okay.

All I want for Christmas.

propaganda.

Yay! I am completely done exams and off for Christmas holidays! I'm potentially internet-less for the next little bit, but c'est la vie. Will attempt to update.

PS - Go to the Rogers Communication Centre at Ryerson University. Turn left, and pick up the newest issue of McClung's magazine. My pro-Barbie article and pictures (oh my!) of the writer dressed up as the infamous doll is out now!

hmm.

I'm still trying to figure out what fabulous is. Is the quest to be fabulous including mimicking the pictures and movies that we watch, or is it creating something new that's only special to ourselves and no one else understands? Can fabulous be quiet? (Does it need to be loud and outlandish?) Is fabulous equaling vanity? I just don't know what to decide.

I think my current state of fabulous is just being with the ones you love, doing something special, or just talking. Having a good cup of tea helps too. Fabulous.

real.

I may be poor, but I'll give you my heart unconditionally.

[in a video-recording] "Hey, it's me, Bailey. You don't have to use this in your movie or anything, although now that I think of it, fainting in Wallman's does kind of qualify me as a loser. But then again, wearing a price sticker on your forehead probably makes you one, too. Ya know, I don't know, Tibby, maybe the truth is there's a little bit of loser in all of us, ya know? Being happy isn't having everything in your life be perfect. Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things like wearing these pants or getting to a new level of Dragon's Lair - making those count for more than the bad stuff. Maybe we just get through it... and that's all we can ask for." - Bailey, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005).

idol.

You can either love her or hate her, but I still adore Madonna and her strength /push for feminism + being such her own person. Would kill to see her in concert.
Absolutely adore the one earring, lop-sided bow and of course the lace gloves (still on the hunt for a pair I like). The dancing makes me smile as well, so 80's but so good.

"Let the wind
Blow through your heart
For wild is the wind
For we are creatures
Of the wind
And wild is the wind
So wild is the wind" - Nina Simone, Wild is the Wind.
