What's a Wornette?

So where oh where have I disappeared to this time?


I've had the most productive summer in my life. July was the dreaded month of summer school which wasn't that bad since the teacher I had wanted to be there as much as the students did (read: not at all). And I had class with an awesome acquaintance and about 3 of my friends were also taking classes. I fell in love with my new cell phone during summer school too. A boy in my friend's English class has a blackberry bold and ever since I tentatively typed on that phone I knew our destinies were entwined. Evidently I'm a bit of a tech geek and I crunched and counted numbers until I was lucky enough to come by the bold at a discounted price that my mom was willing to pay for. I have to pay for the monthly bill myself, and it's more than a fair amount of money but it's all worth it to me.

After summer school ended I got some downtime, but not much. This is simply a statement of a fact though and not at all a complaint. How could one possible complain when the reason why I didn't have much time was because I was running off to Toronto for a Worn internship?

I discovered Worn through a web chain that most likely originated at the hands of internet god, Google. After some rather enthusiastic communication I submitted my application. Fast forward a week or two and you would have seen my mom and I trotting around T.O. for my interview. I did something right and I was chosen.

My internship was fun, exciting, and was truly the type of inspiration and information I needed to know that I'm headed in the right direction of studying Journalism in University. I'm going to be a freelancer of sorts with Worn now and I'll be popping over T.O. whenever I can to help with the maintenance of the World of Worn. If I go to Ryerson or U of T Scarborough I'll be donning my Lady Wornette title once again for a 2nd internship.

Today is the first day of my last year in High School. I've been doing a count down to school for the last two weeks and driving my fellow 12th graders and friends up the bloody wall. No one wants to hear about school and the impending boogey monster that is University applications but I'm ready to rock that shit! I have French, Entrepreneurship, West & the World History, and Writer's Craft this semester. I'm going to be in a variety of school clubs and basically keeping extremely busy. Another good thing about how full of motion my summer was is that I've gotten somewhat used to being busy. I'm still prone to bouts of procrastination executed via tv & internet. But I can't do it to the same extent that I used to. Also my younger sister starts High School this year. She's phenomenal and I love her very much so I'm looking forward to having one* of my partners in crime at school with me.

Shirt - clothing swap that I went to while I was in T.O.
Pants - H&M
Shoes - My good old & dying Mary Janes from SpringNecklace - Courage My Love, a shop in Kensington Market

*My other partner in crime is the one and only Olivia who starts grade 5 today.

I hope everyone had a lazier labour day than I did. To balance out all my responsibilities realistically and keep this blog going I'm going to post 2-3 times a week.

Oh Edward

Photobucket
I just came home from the library. They were showing Twilight for free and I've been meaning to watch it to see how funny it is for a while. There were definitely a lot muffled laughs but my god when Edward started to sparkle and grimace I just... well let's just say my head hurts from the amount of repressed laughter that happened. And I was with my friend Rachael, and every time I would stop laughing I would hear her laughter and then I would start laughing again. The pacing was really slow and the movie took itself way too seriously, obviously. I'm actually surprised we didn't get shushed for laughing, we did get a few glares though. After the "tense" baseball scene Rachael and I decided to leave, we saw all the parts that we wanted to. Namely sparkly Eddy in all his glory. I can't wait for crazy Bella (you know, the suicidal one that wants to hear Edward's voice) to rear her head in the next movie.

Ventino's 365

Photobucket
Pew! Pew!

This is breaking the rule of the 365 project but oh well I feel like it. I'm going to start the project over again. This is the new number one, Brandon who is my summer school science partner in crime. This kid is making summer school more than bearable and I really appreciate it. My class is pretty decent but he's letting me watch movies in class (Transformers) on his iPod and he's an endless source of amusement (he's pretending that my headphones are laser sunglasses of some sort <3).
I'm not going to post all of my 365 pictures on here, I'll only post my favourites. You can find all future pictures over at Ventino's 365.

Filling in the blanks

Argh my dad updated my computer and now my hard drive that has all my music, pictures, and movies on it is inaccessible. That hard drive is now the "slave" and I have no idea where to go to find everything even though I know it's there somewhere. So for now I can't get to any of my previous 365 pictures to post up here. I kind of feel like restarting the project and it would be kind of neat to do it today since it's Olivia's 10th birthday today. Hmmmm. I'll probably start a tumblr blog for the 365 project and I'll post my favourties over here.

On Canada day I finally filled my 2GB memory card in my camera so I had to dump all my pictures and videos on my computer. Since I can't get to my 365 pictures I'll post my favourite pictures that were on my camera to fill in the blanks.

Uhhhh yeahhhh about that....

Oh god I haven't posted in so long, blame school not me! Okay that's a lie, half of it is that school is ending soon (3 weeks) and culminatings are starting to way me down. The other half is that I'm lazy bugger sometimes with heavy procrastinative tendancies. Have some future regular posting and pretty pictures as a gift to me to you.

“ These are the parts of him I find impossible to cut myself loose from. They are beautiful qualities. But beauty is heavy, and though I’m young I am getting tired from carrying around the bits and shreds of my father’s beauty. ”
-----------------------------------------

“ ‘In fact,’ he told me whispering, learning forward and tucking his can of beer on the floor beside his armchair, ‘I traded my ribcage for a chunk of ice instead.’

This explained a lot. From my father I got many recessive genes. Fair eyes, fair skin, and the mermaid part. The surrender places. I did not get a torso of ice though sometimes it feels that way, as if something solid that once was there melted now and still aches with the vacancy of him when it rains.”

What at the centre of your universe? What comes after that? What about after that?

The composition of the Universe of one Lady V
Centre
happiness, friends, reading, writing, being, singing, and observing

And after that
laughing, sleeping, communicating, purple

And after that
breaking rules, post-it note plots

And after that
dreaming up stories of strangers, finding out what being me means, day dreams of University

And after that
approval of others that I respect, getting that giant mens watch i want and purple hair (ugh I want that so bad)

And after that
languages especially japanese and french, traveling, random happenstances

Direction

I can feel the universe pulling me in this scary direction. Really though, the place I'm stuck in right now is probably the scariest thing. I need the hand of the Universe and the hand of my own intuition take control for a while. I can do a lot of things, I just have to stop blinding myself. I need to stop expecting failure and being surprised by success. My body isn't meant to be this numb, my core is starting to fall asleep in my complacency. I'll give myself a shock to my system, I've already had a little taste of electricity and I want more.

My photo
Valentina= a 18 year old girl with an intense love for life, color and style. My family is my life and I’m having a torrid affair with television and loving every second of it. I like my school and I love my friends and I’m learning to love myself too. I love playing around with clothes but I haven’t found the patience yet to be able to keep up with actual fashion. This is a me blog where I’ll write about my life, my outfits and anything else that comes to mind. "It is absurd to divide people into good & bad. People are either charming or tedious." — Oscar Wilde)
The vast majority of the photos I use on this blog are not mine. Whenever possible I will credit photos but in some insistences this isn't possible. For example I have a collection of un-credited photos saved on my computer. So unless otherwise noted the photos on this blog are not mine. If you see an un-credited photo and it's yours (or you know who it belongs to) let me know so I can either take it down or give you credit.
