Marsupial pouch

*6am, drinking coffee with my Dad pre-flight*
Him: Do you think your carry-on bag is going to be overweight with that sewing machine in there?
Me: I don't know....
Him: Hmmm
Me: I wish I had a marsupial pouch. Then I would just be like(suave voice) "This is all me"

Sisters

-after having a huge fight on Granville Street-

She reaches across the table

and crushes my tiny little sister fingers in her "I will kick your a** palm"

we smile at each other

and agree 

to disagree on everything

forever

The Last Man

-she swirls the wine glass-

Him: What does it smell like?

Her: ....oak, with a hint of cinnamon..... light tones

-he looks at me-
*I close my eyes and inhale deeply*

Me: ... it smells like the last time I slept with a man

The Rule Of Numb

I walk my dog until my legs go completely numb. 

this takes about 15 minutes in -50 weather

Accidentally Dropped Acid

I have this theory that however you spend your New Years Eve is how your year will go.

Last year:
Drank a copious amount of champagne
Accidentally dropped acid
Wore inappropriate footwear for -30 weather
Got in a huge fight with one of my best platonic male friends after he confessed his love to me and I did not reciprocate
Made out with a gorgeous woman in a black sequin dress
Went to a fancy dress party
Ate poutine
And kissed a handsome stranger

This year, I might stay home and watch The Hobbit.

Blank Space For Your Name

The Mom: My three year old was singing, "I'm a nightmare dressed up as a daydream" into the karaoke machine
Me: The Taylor Swift "Blank Space" song?
The Mom: Ya
Other lady: That's my theme song!

-Three year old in pink unicorn slippers hops by singing "Let iiiiit gooooooo letttt it gooooo"-
Me: I can't find the celery

Me: Maybe this could be an alternative career for you haha
Him: I don't know....
Me: If it's really bad I will just say you were drunk!
Him: Too much eggnog?

Christmas Eve In A Pear Tree

On the day before Christmas Vancouver gave to meeeeeeeee

One niece in pigtails

Two latkes and a gluhwein

Three minutes of my Mom crying

Fouurrrrrrrth Av emergency shooooopping

Fiiiiiive presents wrapped!

Six hours with my big brother

And a brandeeeeliooooon in a pear treeee.....

The island vortex

I never wear makeup at my parents.

Or do my hair.

Sometimes I shower, but mostly I swim in the sea.

For one week.

Every year.

Hobbit plane

Broke into hysterical giggle fit upon entering into the world's smallest hobbit plane today.

Could not. stop. laughing. 

Small planes are terrifying.

10/10

This weekend I:
1. Danced for 5 hours straight in 3" heels
2. Saw "The Nutcracker Ballet" (with a live orchestra and everything!)
3. Did a shot of something blue

Christmas vacation rating so far 10/10.

I see you

Food was a good choice.

Second best choice I made today.

First being seeing you.

Not queer as in "F*** You" but lesbian as in "Love you"

Mixed feelings recently when I saw this fairly famous cartoon and so I started really researching it:

I like the term queer but don't feel it really applying to me as someone super *feminine dating someone else super *feminine. Although haha, I suppose in the true spirit of queer rebellion I could choose it anyways and "stick it to the man" so to speak and cause utter confusion(if you can't convince them, confuse them? amiright? haha)
Ok. Also I'm pretty against gun culture. Just rubs me the wrong way.
Maybe, if you change the gun into a glitter puppy bomb that upon explosion releases thousands of tiny labrador retrievers upon the victim and kisses them until they succumb.
Ahem, anyways I do REALLY like that queer is a sort of all-inclusive umbrella term. And I respect people with strong informed political opinions who chose this as their term and lifestyle.

But honestly you guys, I'm just happy to not be in the closet anymore.
Being gay/queer  and out is ummm...... really awesome.
And it's hard to be angry, when you are surrounded in so many beautiful people.

So I'm proposing, Not queer as in "Fuck You" but lesbian as in "Love You".
Because I've really been shown nothing but love and acceptance since I came out and I feel pretty damn grateful.

*feminine(as per used above) : in the "stereotypical" sense, e.g. love pink, sappy romantic movies, flowers, walks on the beach, pina coladas......hmmmmm pina coladas........wanders off to find pina colada......

Pet friendly

If you don't like dogs maybe you shouldn't live in a pet friendly building.

Also if you don't like my dog there is no hope for you.

She is giant marshmallow with a tail. 

The 100

I am becoming part of my futon for 3 reasons:

1. The TV show "The 100" on Netflix

2. Winter

3. Bettie(my dog) lets me use her as a pillow

Literally all I did this weekend was go out for brunch with my lovely lesbian friend, go to the gym twice, and watch like 20 episodes of that show.

I can't help it. It's good! 

And actually I know a few of the actors from when I was working in costumes onset in Vancouver....which is perfect because I never watch scary movies and if I wasn't randomly reminded that I know the actors I probably wouldn't be able to sleep haha

The 5 lesbian haircuts

This morning over delicious non-vegan* gasp* brunch (thats's right people we aren't all vegan! aaaamazing!) my most excellent lesbian friend informed me about the 5 lesbian haircuts.
Too good not to share!
P.s. I am not-so-slowly becoming OBSESSED with poached eggs! What sorcery is this!? Bah!

1. The dandy/Beiber
(quiiiiiite dapper!)


ammiright?
http://lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber.tumblr.com/

2. Assymetrical long in front
.....or long in back(aka side mullet)

3. One side shaved

 (oh heyyyy it's me!)

4. Both sides shaved with top bun
(this is a fancy swirly one but usually it's like this but just a plain bun)
(p.s. babe alert!)

5. The rooster( I don't know what this is actually called but I keep seeing it on lesbians leading to me believing it is "a lesbian thing")

Bend And Snap

Me: How's it going?

Him: I hurt my back at dance class

Me: Were you doing the bend and snap?

-I demonstrate-

Him: I wish!

My flatlock brings all the seams to the yard

My flatlock brings all the seams to the yard
And their like
It's better than yours
And damn right it's coverstitch on knits
I can lap seam
But I have to charge

So much time!

On Tuesday a stranger told me I look "exactly like Taylor Swift when she used to wear her hair curly"

So:

1. You actually totally made my week
2. Thank you!
3. I'm never straightening my hair again haha
4. I just gained about 4 hours of my life back each week. What will I do with all the extra time?!?!

Speaking of naked selfies....

Dear person who "accidentally" synced my Dad's IPOD to my computer when I was 20 and uploaded photos of me in lipstick and a questionable amount of clothing onto his machine:

3 things:
1. I know who you are.
2. You still owe me
3. I like shoes

I'm pretty sure we are both still traumatized. 

Naked selfies

Her: You know that pic you posted on your blog of the naked girl holding the cat in front of her?
Me: Ya
Her: I was in the shower and tried to take a selfie of that to send to you as a joke
Me: Hahaha amazing! Wait, with which cat?! The one that attacked me as I came into your kitchen?!
Her: Ya

now that's extreme dedication to the arts you guys

hahaha....oh man.

this girl rocks

Unbearable Lightness Of Being

-night-

Sweaty, in my favourite cat shirt

We walk through the snow back to her place

And laugh about how many denim vests we saw at the lesbian dance party

And about how many people we both knew there

She tells me how her radio show inspired a kid to come out

And I'm not surprised

Because she has a gift of stubborn optimism 

there is weight to the lightness of being

there is meaning

Women

Me: She is getting her masters
Mom: What is she studying?
Me: Women and gender studies
Dad(yelling from afar into the speaker phone): I want to study women!

Hahaha.
Me too Dad. Me too.

Brownie Points

Me: Oh my gosh what happened?!
-there is an angry red bleeding spot on his forehead-
Him: I was walking and looking to make sure you got across the street safe and I walked into a tree

Such a gentle hombre!

For you sire:

4 bandaids from the hostess

1 gauze patch

6 fruit candies from the front desk

and endless brownie points

Faking It

All my favourite allergy friendly foods!

It's not the real thing, but it will be our secret. Mmmmk?

Her: I know someone I want to set you up with
Me: Oh, cool
Her: He is into art stuff too
Me: ......but I'm gay
Her: He's bi!

one bisexual man plus one lesbian does not a couple make. 

Feisty Blonde

Me: I locked my keys in my apartment this morning

Him: How did you get in?

Me: I smashed the lock off

Him: What?! How?!

Me: With my hands

Eyebrows On Fleek

Me: What does "eyebrows on fleek" mean?

Her: It means your eyebrows are looking good

Me: ....when did eyebrows become a problem? I've never been like, "Omgggyouuuguuuuuuys I am having THE WORST eyebrow day ever!"

Don we now our gay apparel falala lalala lalala

-texting in bed-

Me: 

Hitting the gay

gay

haaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy

omg phone

Her: You're so gay

Me: 

You probably think this song is about you

You're so gaaaaaAAAYyyyyyyyyy

Her:

Ba ha ha

You're so gay you probably think this song is about you don't you

"Don we now our gay apparel falala lalala lalala"

She:

She:

is a sort of flawless mirage of Dadaism chaos

the kind of woman you immediately fall hopelessly in love with:

slender and hidden beneath a massive semi-transparent t-shirt

jeans ripped at the knees

combined with a deeply sincere aura of not-giving-a-fuck

her studio:

empty except for a desk

curiously placed neither near the window, the door, or the centre of the room

her designer handbag is flung by the entrance

oblivious to it's own value.

on her desk is a sewing machine

she tells me she could never work in a cubicle again

she's French, I think

and when I slam the window

the glass shatters onto the sidewalk

frightening the photographer's dog
