Livia's journals

farhaad just sent this rad picture to my phone, apparently it's like 3 minutes away from his house.

AWESOME.

i should live on this street.

tomorrow i get to leave to go on a paid trip.  it won't necessarily be the best vacation evar but it will be nice enough, especially getting paid (time and a half tomorrow!) to do it. 

i will get to see madie tomorrow because i am going up to edmonton, i am travelling with my new australian co-worker who i can't quite decide if i find him attractive or not.  sometimes i do and sometimes i don't.  in any case it will be fun.  i get to be gone for three days and go to the mountains, i hope it will be nice.

i am wearing shorts today, this is the second time in the past 5 years that i have worn shorts, the first was while in toronto.  so far it's okay, i'm not feeling uncomfortable.  it's dope to get older and start feeling less self conscious about the things about yourself that you can never change.

tomorrow is canada day, i really couldn't care less.  the only nice thing about it is it is a stat holiday and stat holidays are good because if you work on them you get paid time and a half plus get a day off in lieu of the day you worked. dope.

hmm, last night amythia helped put on a fetish event that some of us calgary girls performed at.  i was supposed to perform but after the 10 hours of stress i endured during my work day the last thing i wanted to do at 1AM was try and look sexy while half naked on a stage.  i felt bad for letting them down, but i felt good for going home and vedging out and going to sleep, those ladies are rad and understood, and i heard it went great!

things i am wanting to buy, in order:

- a new (awesome) bike

- a laptop

- a decent digital SLR

i am also looking for a new job, because by the time i leave this place each night i feel like i want to sit in a corner and cry and rip my hair out.  well, maybe not each night, but more often than not.  and that's not cool.

There are obviously like a lot of major babes on this site, but these are the ones that i think would be an especially scrumptious addition to myself.  Once again, I <3 HOT BABES.

okay so now that i finally have a day off, here is my epic photoblog documenting the awesomeness that was toronto.

eddie and i bought giant suitcases for the trip, mine was more giant than hers.  it's amazing.  i packed the night before we left, and fooled around with a camera, with my new hair and sunglasses.



getting that shit down the stairs in the morning was terrible.  our flight left at 8AM, so amythia picked me up at my house with marla in tow and we got to the airport around 7.  eddie was coming separately and she showed up at like 7:20 (with a boarding time of 7:30) and almost gave me a heart attack.  i was a stress ball, un-necessarily, but still.  i had made sure that we were all sitting together, marla and eddie beside me, and amythia right behind us.  eddie and marla slept, and i took a picture of them.



mwa ha ha! look how cute they are when they sleep!
i gave myself the window seat because looking out the plane window is my favourite thing ever.  the clouds were really neat, i love it when they all line up.



after they woke up, eddie read a book and marla and i played silly games like hangman, we drew collaborative pictures, and then all three of us played our own version of pictionary.  amythia watched movies on her laptop, i think.

at the airport i told them about the farhaad suprise, and when we got off the plane and collected our luggage, i phone him and tried to collect him too.  after half an hour of both of us wandering around and trying to figure things out, we finally realized he was in another terminal.  he took the train to ours, and made it just in time to make it to our pseudo taxi that would be taking us to our hostel.  i saw him from behind, and i screamed at him and we had a sweet airport hug.  it was dope.

we got to the hostel, and got settled.  we made plans to meet up with wren and madie, and a few hours later we were on our way.  i ALMOST ruined the farhaad suprise, but good thing wren was slightly drunk and not really paying much attention to my stupid slip ups.  we forgot that all 5 of us couldn't fit into a cab, so we had to split into two, marla, amythia, and i showed up first.  when farhaad and eddie showed up there was a scene when wren saw him.  it was soooooo funny and totally worth keeping the secret for a few months.  awesome.

we wandered around for a bit, and then headed to where the artists dinner was being held.  it was sooooo good to see the ladies again, i sure missed them! i met lots of girls for the first time too, which was great.  the food at the dinner was terrible, but i got buzzed off of one free beer, and then was so tired i was ready to pass out.  here are pictures from that evening!









we left early and got ready for the next morning.  we got the hotel the next morning, and we saw clementine! cuuuuute.  here's us waiting for all the other ladies to arrive.



the amount of hotness in that lobby when everyone arrived was overwhelming.  i couldn't stand it. we went to get our outfits all sorted out for the fashion show/convention day, and i loved spying on all the girls getting naked in the hotel room.  mmmmmm naked girls. we went on an adventure that afternoon.



 i found a real cute dress and two necklaces, and a pair of sunglasses.  when i went to buy them eddie got mad at me and said she was planning to suprise me with the cute owl necklace that i saw.  she bought that for me, and i bought the rest.  alice lead us on an epic adventure to save seats at sneaky dees, where we were all going for nachos later on.  here are some photos from dinner!





the ladies i was staying with left, and i went on fun time adventures with madie, farhaad, and wrenny!  we went to this really expensive bar that was really trendy and not cool.  we had one drink, and poor farhaad ate some ridiculous rare beef dish.





aria met us there, and we left to find our way back to the convention for a bit.

look at cute photos!







thats the dress and one of the necklaces i bought earlier that day.  that was us waiting for madie outside americal apparel, we started to walk back and it started raining!  aria said she would walk because she had an umbrella, and the four of us jumped into a cab for the few blocks back to the convention.  we waited around for a while, and then made our way to the afterparty for that night.  it was at some weird bar called the republik.  there were really bad bands playing, but we had a VIP lounge upstairs so it was cool.  i convinced the girls that in order to save the night we needed to go dance on the raised platform down in this weird hip hop dance room.  we all went down, and piled like 10 of us onto this weird platform and danced our asses off.  a few of the girls ended up without their shirts, i would have but i was wearing a dress.  probably a good thing. heres clementine and eddie right before we left the bar.


hot ladies, both literally and figuratively!

we left pretty early and went back to the hostel, saturday was gonna be a long day!

we woke up and got ready to go.  the day at the convention was long, i stayed at the booth quite a bit, but i spent so much time at it last year that i decided i had done my dues.  here are some photos from during the day:





























  i went and walked around a bit, and around 6 aria and farhaad stole me to go shoe shopping and to get some yummy foods.  while we were walking, we came across a random hoard of people holding the tiniest dogs ever.  i was making a fuss over how cute they were and someone handed me one.  OMG.  i wanted to put it in my bag and walk away.  i would have if i wasn't flying home.





we went to look at shoes, and then went to get FOOD. i was so hungry.  farhaad and i got shawarma, and then aria phoned ahead to pick up a veggie burrito.  on the way to get her burrito, farhaad realized that i didn't know how to make LA with my fingers.  i finally figured it out, and look at me and aria! cute!



farhaad took this of me while we were waiting for aria to get her burrito, and talking about hipsters.



next, aria left to go home and rest, and we headed back to the convention.
soon after we got back, eddie and i took the first preparation shift and went up with katrina to her room to get ready for the party.  i looooooove katrina so much, she is the most darling girl and i would have stolen her forever if i could.  we got to talk, and get ready and look hot.  we went back down and the rest of the convention went off without a hitch.  cyn and dee stayed behind to pack up, and the rest of us headed down to the art gallery to partayyyyy. 

the party was great, lots of hot ladies, amazing fashion show, porcelains burlesque STUNNED me, and there was lots of great art.  dancing, and partying galore!







































the party ended a little earlier than we suspected, so we went in search of another venue to move to.  they found somewhere, but some people got in and some didn't.  eddie and clementine went back earlier, but unfortunately the rest of us calgary girls, alice, and farhaad, did not get in to the next party.  we ended up sitting on the curb waiting for a cab back, but we waited forever!  farhaad and alice went on their own adventure, but when they came back they found us still sitting on the curb! 



i forgot to mention that earlier on friday we stashed clementine and alice in our hostel room, and no one was any the wiser.  win!

we took a streetcar back to the hostel, alice went to do her own thing, everyone was on their way back downstairs, and all of a sudden farhaad decided to lay on the floor of the lobby!  weirdo.  i refused to lay down with him, and sat on a chair instead.  alice came back, and found us.  she laid down with farhaad, and the two of those sneaky buggers managed to get me down too.  5 AM lobby party!



alice and i realized we had to be at the convention again in 6 hours to get tattooed, and figured we better get to bed.

the next morning was sort of a nightmare, but we managed it alright.  we made farhaad come to tim hortons with us.  he refused to get a double double, i didn't understand. 



eddie, alice, and i spent the afternoon getting tattooed.  my artist was awesome and quick (ryan mason from scapegoat tattoo in portland) and a total babe, p.s. i finished quicker than the other two, and hung out with marla for a bit.  farhaad and some of the other girls came back from having sushi, and we said our sad goodbyes to farhaad.  he is real bad at goodbyes. i found some of the other girls, and went to have a nap up in katrina's room. 

we found porcelain, charity, and swindle already in the room, and no napping was done, but good times were had! i love those ladies.  charity and porcelain had a bum race, i tried to videotape it but i failed.  we listened to silly songs, looked at hot videos, and charity straightened my hair.

here is swindle's bum, and a unicorn.



 there was a crazy intense storm outside, it was fun to watch from their high up room, and when it passed we headed out to the final after party.  lots of fun was had.





i hate sad goodbyes, but there were many to be had.  all of the amazing girls that i got to spend the weekend with headed out.  SAD FACE.  i love all of them.

the rest of the week was pretty fun but overall uneventful.  we went shopping, walking, and had a great photoshoot with healing heart designs.  the final day, we went out after the photoshoot with becca (of healing heart) and erica (of purrfect pineapples) and had a really expensive but pretty good meal at this vegan restaurant called fresh.  lots of prepared vegan food makes my tummy upset, but it was definitely worth it, especially the vegan carrot cake.  YUM.  my friend hannah came out to the dinner too, which was really nice because i almost didn't get to see her.  i wish that i got a picture with her, she is a babe and a half!

we went back to the hostel, packed, and got ready to go.

the morning was rushed, and poor eddie missed her flight home. 

i did nothing on the flight, and we were all beat when we got back.  amythia's boy chris was nice enough to drive me home from the 'port,  and  i got home and had a fun filled day of doing nothing.

since then i have been back at work, and not doing much else productive.

anyways, i really really really love all the amazing women that i got to meet at the convention.  each and every one of them is unbelieveable.

now i am tired from writing this stupid blog. i hope you enjoyed it!

i have been putting off my journal because i wanted my next entry to be an epic toronto post, however, i am still feeling lazy.  this entry is simply to make the following announcement:

i love hot babes.

that is all.

 

oh hai,
didja miss me?! you probably didn't even realize that i was gone, but i sure did! i got to meet so many hot bitches, now i am home again and i feel overwhelmed.

ummm, i am way too tired and scattered right now to make a real update, but here is a picture of my new tattoos:


they are hurting and a little flaky/peely now, but i like 'em lots.

ummm, okay i think that's everything for now.  i am going to go have a nap, which means that in 5 hours i will probably wake up and not be able to sleep all night. ugh.

okay so the past week has been so rainy and cold and blah.  just in the past few hours it has gotten really nice and sunny and the guests in the hostel are taunting me by frollicking around with their shirts off in the backyard, which is right outside of my dungeon office.

JERKS!

*pout*

tomorrow is supposed to be finally nice outside, i am going to get up early and do some errands, and me and eddie are going to go on a photo/chinatown adventure and it's going to be lovely! hooray!

oh, also, on my way to work i was getting off the bus and i found a toonie (for all you weird non-canadians, that's a two dollar coin) on the ground.  does that mean today is my lucky day?

there is a sweet competition going on right now involving all your favourite diy's from your favourite ladies.

well... i happen to have a set nominated, and although i am extremely flattered to be included among these amazing sets, i don't necessarily feel like i should win.  still, everyone should get involved and go vote for the set they think should win! there are a lot of amazing sets in there, it's feeling almost impossible to decide who to vote for!

speaking of amazing sets... holy crap.  my mind is being blown by the epicness that is the front page right now.

harlow and fox? seriously. wow.

so last night i decided to deep condition my hair, i used dumb blonde by bed head, let me tell you, this stuff smells like i imagine swimming in a pool of pineapple juice would smell like, except with less stinging.

anyways, i walked around my house with a shower cap on my head for about half an hour, and my hair felt so nice and i smelled pineapples all night while i slept.  now, get this, this morning i decided to use this other new conditioner that i bought, it's supposed to repair damaged hair (my hair isn't too happy after bleaching it).  my mom apparently decided to put her new face wash in the tub as well, and it's the same size, colour, and shape of bottle as my new conditioner.  i am blind as a bat without my glasses, and i ended up putting this stupid face wash in my hair instead of the conditioner.

i am such a moron and my hair felt ruined when i tried to rinse it out (a few minutes later).  roar! i basically un-did the conditioning i did last night.  oh well, i mostly got a funny story out of it.  i figure i will just be careful from now on, and i still have a little while to get my hair in better condition before i go back for a second bleach job.

 

speaking of a little while, in 9 sleeps eddie, marla, amythia, and myself will find ourselves on an airplane across the country.  TORONTO HERE WE COME.

i am so excited i might pee.
