I went to the funeral for my friend's husband today. I wasn't initially going to go as I have never met him, but then I realized that I was going to go for her. Amongst all of those people there I wanted to be there for her. It was a very moving ceremony. I was glad that I went.

Today I feel like I am living in a sort of fog...unexplainable at this point.

When I eventually made it home last night it was 11:00. I had a long day of work with a therapy appointment in the afternoon. Then a visit to a funeral home to support a friend of mine, dinner with friends and dessert with more friends. I'm exhausted.

My plan is to get up to date on everyones pictures this weekend. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working that way.

Another day of being exhausted! I spent little time on my computer last night and instead went to bed. As I am lacking creativity at the moment I am doing a similiar shot to last night's, just a frontal view. It is Half naked Thursday after all!

Heading off this evening to pick up my new desk from IKEA! Yay!! As I am too tired I will probably not get it assembled until this weekend!

Random Fact: I have been dying my hair since I was 19 years old and not really sure what my natural hair colour actually is. Along with tattoos it is a great way to express myself!

Really tired at the moment...in fact my eyes are quite heavy. Please forgive me if I don't get to commenting on your photos this evening - I am planning on going to bed as soon as I have my supper.

Random Fact: I live a country that gets snow, but I don't know how to skate or downhill ski.

I feel that my "day job" is not allowing me to be as creative as I know I could be. Perhaps time for a change?

Random Fact: I HATE horror films, even if they are stupid instead of scary - they give me nightmares.

Not happy with this image...the noise level is wayy too high for my liking, but I am too lazy to retake my shot.

Someone told me yesterday that a lot of my photos were negative emotionally. It I had heard that a few months ago I would have been devastated, at this moment it hasn't effected me. I like my photography..he can suck eggs. meh!

It came as a surprise when I discovered last night that a friend of mine had passed away unexpectedly. He was an creative talent in the art of Slam Poetry and will be sadly missed by many. To quote the man himself: "Treat everyday like it was your first." R.I.P. Steve.

I apologize for this depressing post.

101/365-2 - 9 things...


101/365-2 - 9 things...
Originally uploaded by Geekgirly.

I have been tagged to share 9 things by the beautiful Revamp Tramp. So here I go:

1. I have a bashful bladder which means I am unable to go pee in the woods. Makes camping and long trips very uncomfortable. (TMI?)

2. I was "Tom Boy" growing up and would rather play with G.I.Joes then Barbie Dolls. I have now gotten in touch with my girlie side.

3. I mostly wear black.

4. I love dressing up but am just as comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt.

5. I have stopped searching for true love, if it is going to happen, it is going to happen.

6. I don't wear perfume but instead wear essential oil in my hair (just a little bit). My favourites are Sandalwood and Patchouli.

7. I have been a fingernail biter for as long as I can remember and only just stopped about 3 years ago. I sometimes relapse but only for a short time.

8. I don't get people who don't understand sarcastic wit although I have been told sarcasm is a form of anger. *eye roll* "whatever!"

9. I am a girl that needs carbs for fuel and 8 hours of sleep a night (although I rarely get that).

Today was a crap day at work but when I got home I discovered that I had come fifth in the weekly I Heart Faces photo contest!! I also won Photo of the Week over at a fantastic blog Photographywired!!! Yay!!

I was betrayed today at work. Someone that I foolishly trusted (even thought I new better) went behind my back. Fortunately I am not the only one that is aware of what happened.

I am wearing new wristies that my Mom knit for me! yay!

Random Fact: I foolishly believe that everyone is inherently a good person.

So -25 with a wind chill that makes it feel like -35? I am glad that I didn't ask to live here! sheesh!! It is not supposed to get warmer until next week sometime. Glorious winter!

Random Fact: I used to own a Vespa Scooter but sold it because I am afraid to drive in "big city" traffic, so I sold it. I miss it terribly.
