when I was a little Michelle, I thought she said "The cross-eye bear that you gave to me"

i've got money in the bank

Do you know the best part about my situation in Toronto? I get 40% off everything at Urban Outfittes, Anthropologie, and Free People.  Wait wait wait.... but the shipping is so much from the latter two....

Anthropologie opens up in North Toronto on Wednesday

horrah!

understand the lay of the land, and don't let it hurt you - or it will be the first to

Oh My Goodnesssssssssssssssssssssss

So my font decided to be blue today?  I don't mind.  I am not sure how this happened, but I am going to go with it.  

If we remember this fall, Brennan and I were lucky enough to see two secret Feist shows.  At the latter of the two, she told the 45 people there that they were recording this to be part of a live dvd that would include a movie that Kevin Drew was filming of her and The Water.

SO I have long been anticipating this movie, AND it is HERE!!

Cillian Murphy! Feist !

oh god

my heart ... it ... explodes!

looking for a downtown man

I am going to share my opinions on the upcoming fashions / fads for this season.... 

1) Bollywood .... let me express my love for authentic bollywood before the pussy cat dolls further bastardize it.   They have stated their intentions to delve further into this genre of film/dance/ music .... and i am so concerned for that outcome

either way let it be known... michelle loves bollywood

2) A well structured black blazer that preferably has a coloured satin liner so that you can roll the sleeves up to the elbow

3) burn out tshirt or tank top..... with a plain black american apparel black bra underneath

3)high wasted, bright skirts.... i KNOW ... i know! we have been dealing with this for seasons... still ... i'll say its more intersted because instead of block colours we have moved onto block patterns

4) Leather bommer jacket... i'll save you the picture post.... black black black... brown if you must... i say black

5) Shoes? I have a few options from early spring to late spring to summer

Urban outfitters has these really simplistic sandles that are so simple and so cute... perfect when its too hot to care about what is on your feet

I think they are cuter in person... they are soooo must have 

• The second shoe... a plain moccasin shoes ... not the boots ... i am looking for a nice brown pair since I got a cute black pair last season.... they are totally perfect for early spring
  
• Plain biway inspired canvas shoes ! every colour! amazing

6) Pink based red lipstick.... girls, girls, girls... I am going to lend you a makeup trick.  You think you can't pull off red lipstick because your lips are too ____ (thin, big, small etc).... there is a loop hole... when we think red lips we think gwen stefani? marilyn monroe? they wore blue based red lipstick (think big apple red, or russian red)... cold colours... no no no no no..... those colours are for girls with perfect lips ... the rest of us have pink/yellow based reds! which are amazing! you will be a changed woman.  Try Shiseido .... SL7

7) Jean cut off shorts!!!

8) Finally ! onesies with tall brown boots

I have more!! i just am tired

maybe next post!

oh spring! oh new clothing!

stop talking so jewy

Happy Pesach
Passover begins on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan and lasts for seven or eight days. The festival commemorates the exodus of Jews from Egypt, more than 3,000 years ago. It is regarded as one of the most important as well as most favorite of all Jewish holidays.

The youngest child is asked four questions at the table

The four questions that are asked are given here along with their answers:

1. Why do we eat only Matzoh on Pesach and not all kinds of breads and crackers like other nights?

When Pharaoh finally ordered Jews to get out of Egypt after the tenth plague, they were in such a hurry to get away from slavery that they hadn't time to let their dough rise and bake their bread. Thus, they took the raw dough with them on their journey and baked it into hard crackers in the hot desert called Matzoh. Thus, we eat only Matzoh on this day to remind us of their struggles.


2. Why do we eat bitter herbs or Maror at our Seder?

Maror or the bitter herbs are eaten to remind us of the bitterness of slavery and harsh and cruel ways in which Jewish people were treated as slaves under the Pharaoh in Egypt.


3. At our Seder, why do we dip the parsley in salt water and the bitter herbs in Charoset?

Parsley represents new life and Spring while salt water represents tears of Hebrew slaves. Parsley dipped in salt water thus represents new life that emerged from the tears and hardship of the Jewish slaves. Bitter herbs dipped into Charoset represent the bitter days of slavery. Charoset has a coarse texture like clay used to make bricks for the Pharaoh's buildings.


4. Why do we lean on a pillow while eating tonight and do not sit straight like other nights?

Leaning on a pillow signifies the comforts of freedom. As slaves, our ancestors had little comforts. Thus, we lean on a pillow to assert that we are free now and can sit straight or lean on a pillow as much as we like.


and there you go
a little jewish insight

enjoy

self preservation is a full time occupation

remember on the city when diane von furstenberg said that the most important relationship you will ever have is the relationship you have with yourself

very very deep

a good friend with bad habits

I somehow pulled a shoulder muscle last night

I do not how i did that

I must have a weak shoulder or something ... I feel like I have already done this earlier this year... balls.

It is just like a bad fucking week ha ha ha ha

I have this trait about myself that I hate.  I have a really really hard time forgiving people.  Like REALLY hard time.  I think it is a self preservation mechanism.  I just (from experience) find that once someone does something extremely harsh, they are likely to repeat the behaviour.  That and I feel like I hold a grudge, and I don't like being in a friendship where i feel like I resent the other person.  I wish I could just let things go, and move on - forgive and forget right?  I am incapable.  I have been burned too many times by petty people, and now I just have a one big strike and you are out policy.  I am not talking about the small stuff.... I am not unreasonable .... I just feel like if trust is gone, what friendship is there to salvage?

It just stings a little bit harder when you held that person quite close.

I so wish it was my fourth year and  I was graduating in April ... but I am going to make the most of my last summer ... I am SO looking forward to Heather coming home .... I feel like between that and my trip over seas that September will be here before you know it....

oh oh oh! also i brought my old school keyboard back to Toronto with me... I started to teach myself a song last night.. I am stoked on this

I am also stoked on my roof top patio......bbq, hot tub, sun.....come to me summer.... commmmmeeee tooooooo mmmmeeeeeee

ps- in anticipation of passover I have eating 1.5 bagels today..... carbs 4 lyfe

i bet you'll be strangely relieved when i'm gone

 How is this for some school irony

this is the first time in this program that I do not have 6-7 exams.... in fact! i only have 3

but they are April 20, 27, and 30.... WHAT

i am finished school April 30?

is that even allowed?

gross.

I decided I need to change things around in my life in a big way.  I need some serious quarter life spring cleaning.  I talked with my grandfather for a long time this afternoon about life, and my plans for the future... my goals - and how i plan to get there..... and for the first time, I really think I know that I am exactly where I need to be.  I guess if you are a blog reader, this is the time to stay tuned.... I will have a lot to blog about hopefully in the next few months.

now all i need is for the snow to stop!

its april mother nature, cut us some slack

FUCK MY LIFE

for me it's spiders - for you its me.

Comfort is a funny feeling.  It is dangerous.   In the beginning it is reassuring, it provides encouragement, and a safety net - but if you get too enthralled in this comfort, you will eventually lose your footing.  

Nothing lasts forever, so eventually your comforts shift, your situations change, and you find yourself being complacent in new cities, with new people - it is human nature, we all are attracted to the familiar.  

What does this all mean ? what is this convoluted rant trying to get at?

Nothing is unconditional.  Everyone has their price..... everyone has their breaking point.

I love fiercely.  When I let someone in, it is a very very deep in.  So when they end up disappointing me, it always cuts pretty deep.  I have to learn a lesson eventually.  

It is funny, the other day this girl I know was telling me a story about someone doing something shitty to her.... and do you know what i responded with?   I told her that I just expect people to disappoint me now - I don't even get mad, I just wait for it.

I guess I am just over it now.  I am sincerely over turning a blind eye to people treating me with any ounce of disrespect - and I am even more over overextending myself for people who do not deserve it.

Word to the wise.... by the beating of my drum, something wicked this way comes

apres moi

Yesterday I skipped out of my clinical placement insanely early.... no one ever watches me... and after I finished teaching all the lessons and running the breakfast program -i just left

i went right to telus and returned the shitty phone that didn't work (which i had bought 24 hours earlier)
and decided that it has been too long since i saw Joanna.... so i drove up north and had a really great day with her, and jakers, and laila

yes yes yes i know.... deadlines - but i just needed 10 minutes to myself or i was going to go insane...i am paying for it today
I have a brutal presentation at 6pm .... which will end in our awful teacher ripping it apart

i will confirm this at 8pm for all of you

all in all i think it is safe to say my life is hectic and unpleasent... but only for 28 more days

fin!

ps- look at me ! in my office ! with a new WORKING phone, thanks to the lovely joanna
