celebrity crush

So last night was amazingly crazy. I spent it sober, hopped up on Red Bull, and dressed up like Alice in Wonderland. There were quite a few other girls dressed up the same but mine was the only hand-sewn costume. Hopefully my photographers get the pics edited soon and let me post them on here.
The club was oversold and stuffed to the brim. It felt strangely like some raves I'd been to years ago: hot and humid, no room to move and just enough room to dance a bit in place on the dance floor. It was off-the-hook crazy, sooo much nudity and some of the best, most creative costumes I've seen in my life.
Now I'm nursing an upset stomach and watching Jarhead with my darling dearest curled up on the couch.

Rain Rain Go AWAY

Nah, it's ok. It is Halloween after all, I'm really just planning on staying in and watching scary movies tonight. Tomorrow is when the fun begins, setting up the club decorations and then dressing up in a homemade Alice in Wonderland costume.
Must remember to get a good picture of myself all done up.

where the wind doth blow

a dark and wet path led us up up up to the misty mountain top on Friday night. how lucky to live here, to have everything at our doorstep. blink, blink, and we're in paradise. it's cold but I love it, can't be so free and secure anywhere else but here. give me the mountains and the trees because that's all I needs. no other place for me.

Jillybean will kill me if I don't post something... must post something...

A Love Letter I wrote today:

bessbi,
i wanted to write you a love letter. the office misses you, the factory misses you, the bees miss you, the raccoons miss you, ryan in toronto misses you, mike misses you, i miss you. you voice is still haunting me - everytime i phone toronto and no one picks up you tell me to leave a message. i haven't had a stitch n bitch since you left. ryan and chris are crying at my desk right now, sobbing tears of sorrow, telling me to tell you to come back. mike's not eating his bagels at lunch anymore in protest. gb is off-pitch when he whistles along to the sorrowful song in his heart. jill is losing her mind and is threatening to beat me over the head with the alphabet if i don't update my blog... she's scaring me,... she's gone over the deep end... come home and protect me, everyone here is turning into heartless zombies in your absence, i think i saw ian drooling absent-mindedly yesterday staring blankly at his soap genitalia. mounce isn't the same, the spring is gone from his now lacklustre hair. tricia is moving in slow motion. shaune had to leave for the uk for a week so he wouldn't see your empty chair, he just couldn't stand it anymore. gary screams random jibberish into his phone and no one is on the other end. see? we're all falling apart and it's all your fault. you have to come back and save our souls. it's a dark place we've gone too.
miss you, love you, lisa xox

Friends

People always say you don't know what you have until it's gone... But I've discovered that it's worse when what's gone comes back briefly.

I don't get it

Why would you go through all the trouble of setting up a Certified Organic farm to sell beautiful organic raspberries BUT package them in plastic that isn't recyclable?
pfft

ALSO, I checked out their website (linked in the title) and it states that they have "patented and non-patented" varieties of berries... THIS IS THE PROBLEM with the world today. Selfish, selfish people. I will never buy berries from this glorified Monsanto-esque company again. Maybe that statement goes a bit far but... I don't think I care tonight.

Cypress Falls - Get out and hike your local trails!

My fiance, little brother and I decided on a Sunday afternoon to head out on a hike. I'd heard that there were waterfalls on Cypress Mountain but had never seen them so we decided that that would be our destination. It was a fairly easy hike among salmon berries, thimble berries, wild columbine, daisies, Douglas Fir, Sitka Spruce, and other wildflowers I'd never seen. I would definitely both recommend this hike and do it again.
