today i was looking through my webcam photos, and i realized that it'd be fun to post all the photos i took this summer on my computer. granted, most are selfies, so that's meh. but they're all taken in different places in the states, canada, and alaska. and i think that's kinda cool.

well that was fun and time consuming. i really want to go back to canada next year, there won't be any alaska in the picture, but that's ok. canada was fun, too.

i'm seriously out of it. i titled this post "coming weekend"...? and then got rid of that cos i don't have a clue why i wrote it. and now i'm editing this post for the 5th time (not kidding).
blah.
i'm grumpy.
i need a nap.

i think the only reason for this post is to tell you guys that i'm taking a break, expect me back around monday or so.
maybe.

the moxie love has grown so much in the past few weeks, her legs are long and awkward. she's in that funny looking tween stage. not quite house broken, she spends most of her time outside with her big sister. they're really quite the adorable pair.

i've been in an artsy mood lately, it feels really good. pinterest is my main place for inspiration. while i paint or sketch i like to put Olan on shuffle.
not only am i in an artsy mood, i've been in a reading mood, too! of course, i haven't exactly been "out" of the reading mood all year, it's just a matter of having something good to read.

inspiration for this found here

i'll be honest. i've come very close to putting White Fang down several times.
its a intensely gritty book. but i can't ever do it. it's so good. jack london was a freaking genius and his descriptive skills slay me. you just gotta have a strong stomach for this one.

and i like taking pictures of random thingys around my room.

:))

days 4&5 of both challenges!

#4-favourite colour

ok. so i don't have a favourite colour. honestly, i mean my top four would be blue, green, maroon, and black. and it changes pretty often.
yeah. so i made a collage of a few colourful tin covers that are hanging on my walls. they have all the colours.

love all the colours!

#5-someone(s) i love

 my nathaniel and luke.


#4- a song that makes me sad- this one is hard. because i don't listen to music that makes me sad. in fact, music rarely ever makes me sad. but there's this one song that comes on the radio every year at christmas time. it's called "christmas shoes" by newsong. and i hate it.

really people. it's so freaking sad!

#5- a song that reminds me of someone.

say by john mayer

first time i heard this one, it was with my brother-in-law, he made some joke about it that i found hilarious at the time. so now every time i hear it, i think of him.

a few random facts about lately:

-i love working at pizza hut. it's awesome.
-i finished The Office a few nights ago. cried 5 times.
-i'm on a facebook fast. feels good.
-class was cancelled today. freedom!
-it finally feels like fall outside. ^_^

today i drank my 2nd ever Rockstar. i always for go for Monsters. because they're beautiful, ya know.
i'm incredibly hyper right now. first time in probably 2yrs an energy drink has actually worked on me! 
so anywho.

day 2 and 3 of both challenges.

#2what i wore

#3clouds

#2, least favourite song (aka, song i HATE)
the original oompa loompa song. >_< 

#3, a song that makes me happy.
flaws by bastille

if you've never heard of bastille, i highly suggest you give them a listen. i think they're a pretty new group. this dude's voice kills me so much. it's gorgeous. and this song certainly gives me happy chills. ^_^

haiya, peeps! how ya been? i've been doing great. this week is going by so freaking fast, i feel like monday lasted an entire week, and the rest of the week was a day. blah. weirdness.

anywho. i've decided to attempt 2 different challenges and not do either of them right. one is a song challenge that Treskie is doing, and another is one of those facebook, 30 day photo challenges. here is that one..

i figure if you want the song one, you can just go give Treskie a visit, she posted it here. 

and here's day one of both challenges.

self portrait.

favourite song (i'm doing current, not fave of all time, because i don't just have one).
Migraine by Twenty One Pilots

 Behind my eyelids are islands of violence
my mind shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could find
I did not know it was such a violent island
Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions
They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin
and I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find
Cause sometimes to stay alive you got to kill your mind

now i know you've all heard me rant about how much i love Twenty One Pilots, so i won't beat that horse anymore. you should just see for yourself, aye?

so, the reason i say i won't do either of these challenges right, is because for one, i won't be posting everyday, and B, i'll often times combine several days of the challenges in one post. i already have a list of the songs i'll use (it could change), and i have an idea of what i'll do for the photos. so yep. it should be fun, feel free to join, i'd love to see your photos and listen to the songs you post!

peace,

pointless post day

i really have no idea why i'm even attempting to blog right now.

so i decided, today is national pointless post day.

and yeh, tomorrow might just be too, if i want it to be.

"i do what i want, thor!"

yep.

i have to leave for english soon.

so..

mhm

 

i was going through pinterest this mornin', and these made me giggle. and i knew this post'd need pictures so it would be even more pointless.

i'm going to do a 30day challenge on here soon.

except, ya know. i'll probably break all the rules.

ed sheeran is one ugly face ginger but ohmyword.

he's got the voice of an angel. 

so since it's national pointless post day, i got Rachel to join up with me. and you should too! go check out her's here.

i like turtles. 

:D

p.s.

one of my wonderfulest friends, Caitria, is doing a giveaway on her blog! i'm rather excite about it. check it out here. 

seriously. you don't wanna miss this one.

that awkward moment when...life...happens.

that happened today. several times over.
 *sigh*, this happy kid is ready for sleeps.

3 things

top to bottom:
Twenty One Pilots
Ella Fitzgerald
Call the Midwife

for the past several weeks these 3 things have taken up my free time. of course i do productive things while listening to the music bits, but heck, once Call the Midwife was on, i was helpless. that show is so dang good!! i can hardly wait for season 3! my mum is going through it right now, so i get to watch it again. *sigh*, i was born in the wrong time era. i just know it.

but then again, if i had been born then, i wouldn't have Twenty One Pilots.
and that would just be tragic.
cos they're my happy place.

anywho. strange little short post here. ah well.


peace out
-noni


p.s.
oh, did i mention i work at pizza hut now? yeah. well, kinda. i mean, tomorrow is my first day.
rather excite here!

simple- a message to myself

Romans 5:1-5

5. Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. ³ And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; ⁴ and perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.


it's simple, really. just don't let yourself get distracted and unbalanced. wake up from the haze. wake up to the hope. stop beating yourself down. stop finding your thrills in things that don't last. 
but don't ever stop persevering, k?
