Office

I start work in the bank on tuesday. I must admit, I am having fun playing with work outfits, playing the "office" role.


This is pretty.

H&M Hat

A summer spent in Vancouver, doing everything & nothing in particular.
A recent stint to seattle for HUMP.
And an even more recent stint to Vancouver for shopping, Bassnectar & Goodbyes.

Now it's official, I've moved back to the kootenays. I am here for quite a while, and obviously meant to be here because I just secured 3 jobs in a town that is difficult to find employment.

H&M Furry Hat

I tried on these pants at H&M a couple days ago but they didn't fit right and there were only 2 sizes left. Seeing them on makes me wish I'd bought them

Sometimes doing trusting your intuition is so difficult. You know it is what you have to do, and you have to trust yourself, but there is still a voice trying to convince you not to listen. It's probably a gemini thing too.
I will go to Africa.
Africa will always be there.
Now is not my time. I feel this.

Dear Vancouver:
Please give us summer already. We've been waiting so long and now I don't know how much more rain and coldness we can take.
Otherwise I will have to abandon you and go back to hot sunny Tokyo.
Thank you.

O'Connor:

Finding your place in the world may be something of a mystery, dream or fantasy but the signs of taking some radical measures are present. In one way or another you are determined to enter into new territory.

Metro:

This is the beginning of an amazing time of change and excitement. Uranus, the planet of magnetic attraction—a regular quick-change artist—also enters your sector of buddies, teammates and freedom. Somehow, you are going to be at the forefront of an important dream.

I feel like I am at a serious point of change.
I feel the need to settle down, grow some roots and establish something. All this constant re-starting is getting tiring. Thoughts of school (creative director or chiropractor) are tickling my brain. I need to go to Africa sometime in my life but I really don't know if now is the time. I'm tired of moving so fast. I will just wait it out a bit longer, if it feels right then off I go.
I feel caught and pulled between the 3 (or more) lives I want to live all at once. Perhaps part of the curse of being a Gemini is easily getting bored and constantly changing my mind/not being able to make decisions. I want to live the simple beautiful kootenay life, I want to live the professional fun city life, and I want to live the backpacker free life. At the same time I don't want anything, I want to hibernate for a long time.

Great!

Oohhh

Some big changes are looming which stand to catapult you into brand new territory.

But something new and special and possibly big, is brewing.

I had a dream last night I was up the road behind Dad's house with 2 other people and we ran into a Bear and Cub. The Cub ran away but then the Mama started coming towards us. The Bear turned into a Lion, an amazing golden lion with very fierce eyes. It started toward us and we backed up. It was looking hopeless, we thought we would surely be attacked. Then I started honking the horn on my little bicycle and we all started jumping and yelling (but my voice was sore). She turned around and we escaped.

The 2nd part of my dream took place in Japan at an old temple with a friend who resembled Aya. I was joining a community and one of the rules was that people higher rank than you would throw large rocks at you (your head, back etc.). I was angry at how violent this was.

What could this mean?
Perhaps struggle? New challenges?

Tokyo~these streets will make you feel brand new, these lights will inspire you

Jet Lag..

Standing at the forefront of new beginnings and the unknown.

do-don-pa!

I had the most incredible last party in Tokyo. Tokyo tower view, rainbow bridge view, odiaba ferris wheel view, day to night party and a birthday cake on the dance floor. Perfect. 楽しかったよ！

Today I woke up at 6:30am and went to Fuijikyuu Highland. We waited in line for 5 hours for a rollercoaster that went from 0 to 178km/h in 1.8 seconds. It was madness. Then we waited for 2 more hours for a water ride. I was so tired, hungry and grumpy near the end. We only fit in 2 rides before the park closed. Argh damn you Japan! It was fun though.. and Fuji was beautiful. On the train home there was a jumper and Chuoo line was delayed. Very Japan-y 2nd last day.

Goodbyes are so hard. I hate it.
I am blessed with such amazing friends here. Honestly, I am so grateful. They are wonderful and I love them with my whole heart.
