it's a party in the USA over at my house right now.  except that i'm not in the USA... and i'm the only person at the party.  but yeah, otherwise, total party in the USA.

close/closer/closest.

do you ever think about what it would be like if everyone you loved lived in the same city as you?
i do that all the time.
 
my mom & paps.
my brother & his family.
dano & mark.
rob & laurie.
matt, seb, ollie & my kristy.
my favourite cousins.
nadia & bryan.
my mom's friends.
and the friends i already live close to, of course.
sometimes, i imagine us all living on the same block.
i also imagine us having block parties.
it's kind of ridiculous how happy the thought of this makes me.  

that's kristy on the left, rockin' the stripped leg/armwarmer combo,

and you know it's a party when carly's bustin' out her favourite turquoise leggings.

nadia needed something to jazz up her outfit so i lent her my yellow belt

...and i was so stinkin' excited that i forgot my shoes at home.  again.

amy poehler.

on sunday night, i dreamed i was amy poehler.  not sure what that means but i will say this: my will arnett is welcome to show up any day now.

nostalgia day.

today was nostalgia day over at my house.  do you ever have those days?  i listened to old songs, looked at old photos, stayed in my PJs until about 3pm.  kind of like heaven.  but also a little bit of a heart-squeeze.

i also went through some old songs i had written, and played a few of them.  i never did anything with this one.  i guess, when i wrote it, a million years ago, i decided that it wasn't good enough.  and it's also very short.  but today, after almost having forgotten all about it, i don't think it's such a bad little song afterall.

here's a very raw version of it:

3 things i bought yesterday..

project joy.

remember that butterfly of hope post i wrote a couple of days ago?  well, i'm not sure what happened to that girl 'cause tonight i felt about as hopeful and as chipper as a shoe horn. and, after a few hours of putting up with my own crankiness, i'd had enough.  so i thought to myself: "what's going to cheer me up?".  my first answer, of course, was: "nothing... i hate everything".  but then i thought: "nope, not an acceptable answer... what's one thing that makes me happy?", and to that i replied: "stuff made out of cardboard".

presenting: project "joy".
