Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?

Happy New Year. Merry Christmas. Seasons Greetings and I hope everyone enjoyed their break. I know I did. With my blog constantly in my mind, I’ve got a list of things to discuss!

Unfortunately, snow dancing may not be my strong suit, with winter arriving where I am a month (at least) ago, there has yet to be a school delay or cancellation. Which is indeed quite frustrating.

Ice has fallen and settled in sheets, making every step and move very planned out. I’ve been told to keep my chin up while walking, but im afraid with roads sidewalks and everything else like this, I must watch my feet for fear of landing on my ass. Ice is indeed pretty though, when the light catches it; especially when it’s created a lovely bed ontop of a lake. It sparkles and shine. And while this is quite bright on the eyes, it is indeed lovely to look at. Unfortunately, when snow plows and mud and rain mix in with it, creating slush and muddy slush at that. It reminds me more of the mud pies I so favoured making as a small child; although I wouldn’t like to touch or make pies with this mud. It’s far too cold for me.

It’s ironic really. I live in Canada and detest cold, winter, wet and cold feet. Unfortunately this fate is inevitable when you live here. It’s far far too cold.

Baths are quite lovely though. With bubbles and the likes, smelly soaps that warm your toes right up. In my bathroom the tiles are very amusing to look at. They have a design on them that is not set in stone, they’re tiled and full of many strange designs. Reminding me of an art project I was lucky to do last term. We splattered paint onto a piece of paper and were to find the shapes of animals, strange things, and whatever else we could see. It was quite interesting to look at and it was a lot of fun to do. That’s exactly what I do with my bathroom walls, looking at the walls and finding dancing cats and swimming birds and women with long hair. It’s quite fun.

I got to perform an act that was almost like magic. A friend needed assistance in dying her hair. So here I was on her floor, her sitting on a ratty towel with a ratty t-shirt in front of me while I spread goop all over her scalp. A lovely image im sure that creates. It was amazing to see, while it looked almost like goopy and well, quite disgusting while I put it on, I watched as it stained her skin and her hair a different color. Of course, turning quite darker then we had anticipated. But that is to be expected with fresh dye. It was very pretty.  And quite fun to do.

I do know though. I could never be a hair dresser.

Well, I am off. I have an art project to complete, while im sitting on my couch with a blankie drinking Arizona Green Tea and watching “My Fair Lady” I do love Audrey Hepburn.

Eh… I could of sworn I heard giggling behind me, and I must admit I am freaked out… I hate being afraid of the dark. It’s not fun. I just consistently come up with the conclusion that I really need to stop watching horror movies, one in particular. Paranormal Activity. Scared the daylights out of me.

Anyways, as I was saying. I shall write later.

Ta ta folks.

    What a nice little post-holiday post…even in the cold…with your artist’s eye noticing the wonderful little things hidden in the tiles…and I’ll look forward to your list of things to discuss. It’s nice to see you back again.

    Paranormal Activity scared the daylights out of me too, it’s been more than a month since I watched it , and I still struggle to sleep sometimes.
    It must be nice having snow. I live in South Africa, here the weather is probably more moderate, it doesn’t snow at all, I envy you for having snow (we only sometimes have some on the mountain tops). We do have nice sunny beaches though, so that’s nice
