My friend Jay had this on his blog... turns out i'm not that nerdy... but don't worry, it lies. i have have lots of nerdy friends and love you all! and no, don't watch reruns of star trek, but have been known to enjoy a good episode of 7th heaven :) xoxo
| You Are 12% Nerdy |
 You are definitely not nerdy - in fact, you probably don't know any nerds. You probably care a little too much about your image. No one will know if you secretly watch Star Trek reruns! |
I havn't been posting very much lately b/c I have been way too busy moving all my stuff to my new house (holy crap i have a lot of stuff!!!) But this weekend I managed to set aside two nights for fun :)
Friday was ring night, a bunch of my friends were getting their iron ring (engineer thing), so we did some partying. My sister and i made a nice dinner, got ready, started drinking... and then one thing led to another and we were mixing malibu rum, crown royal and pepsi. but since we coudln't taste the malibu we kept adding more. we were so drunk that we had to send ourselves home at 12:30 from the bar. AND i would also like to mention that my scarf is now gone!!! i did coat check and when i went to get my coat... no scarf! so if you see any nice black scarve/shawl thing out shopping let me know!!!
luckily i wasn't hung over after that night of drinking b/c yesturday was another fun day. starting off with some quiznos for lunch then heading down to Minglewoods to watch Monday's Grace play. they were playing from 2-6, wasn't that busy at teh start, but got packed as the afternoon went on. few key phrases from the night include:
1. "I pitty the fool"
2. "I can look sober for 2 seconds"
3. "she didn't look hideous when she smiled"
4. "how old??? I don't believe you"
Also worth mentioning were the leprachan guys that had their little matching outfits tailored for the day!!! the weird old guy that wouldn't take subltle hints!!! three cheers to my new friends from Ottawa U that saved me from the weird guy with a dance off!!!
PS - - lulu lemon pants... not bar gear people...
pp2 - - it is customary to brush your hair before you go out to a bar, please spread the word b/c there were lots of people that missed that memo last time around.
ps3 - - milesontes serves FABULOUS FOOD!!!
I was listening to the radio thismorning and they were interviewing the Author Eve Edelson, who wrote Scamorama. And i was totally into it! We all get those emails requesting our help to save the family fortune, or help send a kid to school. But this lady started writing back to the people. and keeping track of all the emails and then published this book. It sounds great! the website is hilarious! www.scamorama.com
Most of you know my little issue last year, when i was almost scammed in a similar way. someone wanted to rent the room in my apartment, and said that they 'accidentally sent too much money' and could i cash teh travellers cheques and send the extra money back to africa... ummmm NO! luckily i caught on and called the cops and didnt' lose all that money...
so yeah, check out the website, have a good laugh, and maybe send back an email sometime to the next spam email you get.
I thought this example was a funny example... http://www.scamorama.com/munoogian_fadil.html the guy emailed back and forth and told the man in Dubai that they were best friend forever... and then stripped him of the title. i laughed!!!
I think that I will start writing back to these people... i can't wait!!!
This was in Nepean This Week - just a little local newspaper that goes out every week. Its from the Gallery show that is taking place at the Nepean Museum this month. I have one painting (shown in the picture), and around 10 pieces of pottery on disply.
Its not the BEST picture, but hey... its still in the newspaper!!! so i'm proud anyways!

Well, its been awhile since I’ve had time to sit down and tell everyone my blogworthy stories. Sorry for the delay, its not that there hasn’t been blogworthy events going on, but I have just been so busy with the new house (which I take possession of in 11 days!!!), and I have a couple art showings that are going on right now too.
BUT I figured that enough excuses, get on this thing and keep my readers happy and informed!!! :):)
Last night ROCKED! Shannon & Greg bought a house too, so we were out celebrating our new purchases! :) Monday’s Grace put on a great show at Gracie’s. and no, I’m not biased… well I am (or maybe I was just drunk????). well regardless, they rocked… and it looked like Shannon and I weren’t the only two that though so. The regular groupies weren’t there though – I wonder how long it will take them to find the Monday’s grace group I created on facebook last night after the bar? haha). 
For some reason the people at the bar appeared to have all gotten dressed with a mirror! There were a few unfortunate outfits. But for the most part people looked put together and there were no horrendous blogworthy outfits like usual. THERE was a lady that thought that you should do the twist to every song. But she was 40ish, so I will just chalk that up to age, at least she was out having fun.
Something worth mentioning though was this haircut… some girls think… wow.. layers, I should totally get some layers… well be careful with this… if you layer too much you may come out with a mullet. And Dog the bounty hunter can pull that off… but girls in their 20’s… not so much. haha, shannon's straw got stuck in the mullet for a bit!! that was hilarious!!! 
Ohhh the drinks!!! Shannon and I made the most exquisite drinks! We used a spoon of orange juice concentrate and water (we didn’t have a juice jug), then 2 shots of pomegranate liquor, 1 shot of vanilla vodka, and then topped up with strawberry juice! YUMMY!!! (almost as good as the McD's we had at 3am!)
I was going to blog about this hottie in a red hoody from last night. But he didn’t dance :( that decreased his hotness for sure!
Oh and it was Derek’s bday… so happy birthday to Derek, I hope he had a great bday!
Back to packing my life away into boxes.
Next weekend I’m hitting up Toronto so I’ll definitely have some stories worth posting!!!
PS - Thanks for driving Greg!!!
My friend Miranda told me about this sad story about Chrissy Predham Newmana, a 28 year old Ottawa native who moved to St. John's two years ago and was recently murdered.
She was found slain and there is some suspicion around her estranged husband. Sadly, she is survived by a a 16 month old daughter (Ireland) who is now in protective custody as a result.
Miranda's co-worker (Shelly Cournya) is a friend of Chrissy's mother and has enthusiastically set up a trust fund for little Ireland. Shelly has been interviewed by the CBC and has managed to raise $11,000 so far but has another $14,000 to go in order to reach her target.
Chrissy is about our age... scary!!! makes it hit a bit closer to home eh?

My friend Christina sent me this and i thought it was really funny... and appropriate b/c as we all know i am not the most computer savy person out there.
PS - Happy Valentine's Day!
I just had to share this with people b/c i find it very odd. and as a fellow artist... i def don't see the 'art' behind cooking meatballs in human oils... GROSS!
That being said, i do still plan to go see Hannibal this weekend :)

Meal fried in artist's own body fatFrom correspondents in Santiago January 13, 2007 09:12am
"BON APPETIT," said Chilean artist Marco Evaristti as he presented his friends with his newest creation: meatballs cooked with fat from his own body, extracted by liposuction.
"Ladies and gentleman, bon appetit and may god bless," said Evaristti, a glass in his hand, to his dining companions seated Thursday night around a table in Santiago's Animal Gallery.
On the plates in front of them was a serving of agnolotti pasta and in the middle a meatball made with oil Evaristti removed from his body in a liposuction procedure last year.
"The question of whether or not to eat human flesh is more important than the result," he said, explaining the point of his creation.
"You are not a cannibal if you eat art," he added.
Evaristti produced 48 meatballs with his own fat, some of which would be canned and sold for $US4000 dollars for 10.
A veteran at shock-art, in an earlier work Evaristti invited people to kill fish by pressing the button on a blender the fish were held in.
In April 2004 he dyed an enormous iceberg in Greenland with red paint.
Dan found this site somewhere, so I thought i'd give it a try. Turns out i act like i'm 23. Not sure if i should be happy about these results or not???
Follow the link and let me know what your "age" is :)
| You Are 23 Years Old |
 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |

You can all breath again, NO its not me! lol...
So my friend Amy is in the process of embarking on a big adventure... she has decided that it would be 'fun' to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Its not just for fun though, its for a good cause. she is raising money for CARE Canada. Each person going has to pay 100% of their own costs, but ALSO raise a set amount of money to donate. (at least i think thats how it works)...
Last night i went to barrymores with some friends and had a fanstastic time - we had to leave early to make it to a new year's eve party, but during those couple hours that we were at the bar we had a very fun time. 
There was this girl... and i'm not sure if she new what the 90's era was all about when it came to wardrobe. i know when people go to 80's night at barrymores they tend to dress up, and usually people get that right. can't go wrong really with 80's clothing.
BUT this girl last night attempted a 90's look... this is what her outfit consisted of (i have included pictures to help give you a visual). She had on a school girl kilt, a grey tank top, a baggy plaid shirt (that steph pointed out was - mismatched plaid!!! - i was too focused on the bad choice of footware to notice the plaid!) - - hicking shoes/skater shoes... not really sure what they were and white socks. And the best part - - she was doing this vogue / robot dance!!! it was just a very confusing look, grunge meets school girl meats madona vogue??? But this girl, even in her 'wicked hot outfit' *sense some sarcasm there please* - - totally couldn't keep up with alicia's moves - - who patented the 'fax machine' and 'thigh master' version of the running man... Both VERY VERY cool!
I must also share about the new year's party b/c i'm sure some are wondering about that. some friends of friends were throwing this party - - b/c no one was around for the real new years. turns out i knew some of the people that lived there. it was great! i can't wait to have my own house so i can turn my basement into a little dance floor! i miss house parties where you can just bust a move in the basement!!! basement parties were/are the best! Great evening out!!!
this isn't a hoax... came from 580 CFRA's website:
OPP Warn of Email Scam Josh Pringle Tuesday, January 9, 2007
Ontario Provincial Police are warning the public of a fraudulent email that identifies itself as coming from the Department of Finance Canada.
The OPP says the message promises its recipients a tax refund if they fill out and submit what looks like a government form.
Police warn if you fill out the form, it will compromise the individual's credit card and social security information.
Last night was a fun night out, but there were quite a few blog-worthy things, at one point i thought - gee i should get a notepad to keep track!
First i jumped on the fabulous #3 bus that always gets me where i want to go. I arrived at Shannon and Greg's with enough time for Shannon and I down a bottle of blueberry wine and assist greg in picking the perfect t-shirt to bring out his rockstar attributes.
Then off we went to Pier 21. I arrived thinking that people have put summer behind us, there is no more being confused - there is now snow on the ground - - but alas, some people have still not noticed that it is no longer summer... FLIP FLOPS!!! yeah, that is right, some chick was wearing flip flops at the bar!!! and i lost track of all the other summer outfits that i was seeing... for a society that loves to shop, we certainly forget that its ok to have two, even four wardrobes for the different season's. I know that its not easy to buy a WHOLE new wardrobe, that is why they made accessories and shoes!!! change them up to go with the season!!!!
The other outfit that is definately worth mentioning was the creamy white see through tank top, very nice sheer fabric, sorta flowy. problem being that she wore a black bra with it??? - - and even worse, she forgot to cut the white (glow in the black light) hanger strap things off. There were a tonne of girls there with bras that didn't match their shirts. i'm not talking colour - - i'm talking slyle. you wear a halter shirt, wear a friggen halter bra or a strapless! and the 'invisible straps'... the plastic ones... NOT SO INVISSIBLE!!! I can see them!!!
i will say that there were quite a few hair styles at the bar that i plan to attempt. I got a big barrel curling iron before xmas and I am very pumped to give it a shot.
and that was my evening out... bad outfits but good hair.
As usual Monday's Grace played fabulously - if you are curious about this band i always write about, they will be a Gracie's (west) every thursday for quite awhile in the new year. go check them out!
HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVERYONE!!! hope you have all found something fun to do to celebrate!
Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Boxing Day (my favourite holiday!!!)
Hope that Santa brought you everything that you wanted this year. I have no fabulous stories for you.
If you are ottawa folks, let me know if you want to go out on Friday December 29th bc there are some plans in the works.
xoxo
Teri Anne
