This is me right now. It's 23 degrees and I'm sitting on my balcony, using my wireless internet and writing a blog post. Oh, and drinking a Starbucks misto. Correction,
Cafe Starbucks. Life is feeling pretty good right now. I'm having a lazy Saturday, and I think *knock on wood* that this is finally the real beginning of summer. Random thoughts that are cruising through my noggin:
- a guy just walked by wearing
hot pink skinny jeans. Yes, he was definitely a guy. And they were definitely bright
fuschia. Wow. (He just walked by again! I tried to take a pic with my camera, which is conveniently sitting right beside me, but I was too slow! Damn!!)
- there is a freakin lot of puff-ball things floating through this French air lately.
- I had my first MTL Blizzard last night! Yes, this is document-worthy, because it had been over a month and a half since I'd had one - AND the DQ is a 10 step walk from my apt.
- to continue with ice cream for a second, last night while in McDonalds at retarded-o'clock, I noticed that they sell Coffee Crisp McFlurries. Coffee Crisps are my favourite choc bar, and I've been hoping DQ would get their act together and make one, but... now I know where my next ice cream fix is coming from.
- tonight I'm going to check out
Nuit Blanche and then to see the first night of the fireworks competition. Apparently the city closes down the Jacques Cartier Bridge and people hang out there to watch them. And I'm going with some girls I don't yet know... it's all weirdly like a pseudo-blind date. But not. Haha.

Lately I've been trying to get more into photography and so I randomly decided to enter a contest on
Worth1000 with that photo I posted in my last post - and I ended up placing 3rd out of 51 entries. Cool! It was a beginner contest, so go figure, but it's helped give me a boost to want to take more photos. :)
Speaking of photos, yesterday was a full-on modeling day for me. In the morning I modeled in a location shoot for my cousin, and she wanted me wearing a dress and heels outside in front of some cool industrial-looking brick buildings - but it was SO COLD. It was windy and 5 degrees out, and there I was in a little dress and heels trying to look hot and oh my god I just tried to give the posing my best shot to get it over with as fast as I could. Although, I ended up being outside for an hour in two different dresses and two different set of heels. Wow. I have a big appreciation for real models now. Haven't seen the photos yet, but can't wait.
Facebook is good at randomness. Tonight a girl who was my penpal when I was probably 10 searched me out on FB. I was at my parents house tonight for dinner and even found old letters that we sent to each other. It was a PenPal service that you had to fill out your name, age, your favourite colour, favourite school subject, other cheesy info, pay $3 and they matched you with someone. (Yep, I even found my penpal application form! - wow, think I'm holding onto some unnececssary stuff?!) Anyway, random and cool.
This week I found out that DairyQueen will make a Blizzard with two different kinds of stuff in it. You do not understand how much this has made my life. Hello gaining 20 lbs.
Actually, I'm sticking to a really good routine of working out 3 times a week. That makes me happy. Although I've also realised that I don't eat enough protein. The only time I eat meat is for dinner, and often I don't even do that. I'm a fiend for peanut butter though, and usually eat it for breakfast, but the point is, I'm still not getting enough protein. I might buy some protein powder. Is that weird? Hello bodybuilder Maresa. ;)
Wait - I wonder if aReese's peanut butter cups Blizzard counts as protein... Haha. Kidding, kidding.
