and so, summer draws to a close.
these past few months have been nothing less than spectacular, from the weather, to the time i spent with friends and family, to the places i went and new people i met. maybe i'll share a little..in point form, of course

june:
-i became best friends with my education number, which was printed on the three provincial exams i took towards the end of the month...nice.
-celebrated the end of the school year, maybe with a hint of nostalgia
-blasted out resumes, looking for a summer job. lack of success. -shot by parents-

july:
-my cousin chris arrived from toronto..a bit taller than last time, to my dismay. xD
-played MASS amounts of football with my cousins and uncles in the park, on the beach, etc. it seems to be the family game..yes, i realize i just made it sound like pda or something.
-free slurpee day! gotta love 7-11. =]
-started volunteering part time at a senior centre (till the end of august), and it is/was quite the experience ^^ new people to talk to, new things to learn...
-CAMP. headed down to eastern washington university for Satori, pretty much the highlight of my year, every year. i could write a novel or something like that just about my week there. couldn't come this year, sadly..

august:
-i went to the first baseball game in my life xD sad but true. kinda made me respect the sport a bit more, but at the same time, there wasn't much action. at least the tickets were free.
-rearranged the furniture in my room, which was a very, very good thing. i think it's got better feng shui now
-oh yeah, my birthday. in addition to a party that i planned in conjunction with a friend, my mom arranged a surprise fling for me. yeah, that was mind blowing. i'm really grateful that i've got such a great network of family and friends.
-preparing for school...yet again. september, please be kind to me! >0<

my, i suppose i've had quite the enjoyable summer. i guess all it takes is a look back to see how good life is. shoot me now, if you feel that i'm getting cheesy and such...

in other news, has started a journal feature, and so...
rules:
1. Be one of the first 10 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to The List.
2. For each of those 10 people I will put their avatar and three deviations I like from their gallery on the list.
3. If I feature you, you'll have to (or should) do the same in your journal, then feature me and anyone else who featured you before listing 10 new ones.

one of the first deviants i watched... i first noticed her penguin revolution fanart, and kinda went from there. her gallery is very varied; different media, subjects, styles. i love the sketch quality to her work, and yet there never seem to be any lines out of place ^^

my fantastic friend hales . the thing about her gallery is that it's always, always changing; her progression in both traditional and digital media (she friggin' rocks mspaint) is, well, epic. and now that she has started animating her avatars...i dunno, the world's her oyster.
