I'd rather write it here than on FB. I'm irrationally paranoid like that.
1. I like to do random things on the fly like getting my hair cut or my belly button pierced.
2. As of yesterday I have a belly button ring.
3. The violin, the piano, the electric guitar, and the drums are the sexiest instruments EVER. I love them.
4. I am now a clean freak comparatively to what I was before.
5. One dream of mine is to have enough money to randomly jump on the next flight out of Pearson to a major city in the world.
6. I have an irrational, shallow, and superficial fear that I will marry someone ugly. By God's grace it's lessening as the years go by. :P And no, it's not that I'm learning to settle. I absolutely refuse to.
7. I have small scars of a dog bite on my right cheek.
8. Foods that I use to hate, but now love: ketchup, sour cream, pasta, and filet o' fish from McDonald's.
9. I want to have the skills of a National Geographic photographer.
10. Textbook economics literally gets my heart beating faster especially microeconomics.
11. Harvard was my childhood dream.
12. I have THE BIGGEST CRUSH on James Franco of Spiderman fame, but mostly on his character in the movie Tristan and Isolde.
13. Going through burn out was the hardest thing that I had to ever go through even considering my childhood.
14. Despite my dry and rough demeanor I am actually quite the sappy die hard romantic at heart.
15. I tried out for the Miss Chinese Toronto beauty pageant back in grade 11.
16. I thoroughly enjoy and savour every moment of being single. Taste the freedom.
17. I use to be the hugest tomboy back in junior high.
18. My Achilles heel is my insidious pride.
19. I'm becoming a homebody. I just like piddling around my apartment.
20. I am NOT an extrovert. I am an outgoing introvert. I hate big crowds, and being around people too much actually depletes my energy.
21. I have a (bad?) habit of looking at engagement rings whenever I pass by a jewellry store.
22. One day I hope to have an art show.
23. I compare myself to others way too much.
24. I am the biggest idol in my life. See 18.
25. Quality time and taking initiative are my love languages.

Eggsplosion
IcamehomefromCostco.Put18eggsintoapottoboilthem.Leftthemonthestove,andwentforanap.
In case you didn't get that.
I came home from Costco.
Put 18 eggs into a pot to boil them.
[ I was going to eat them for breakfast throughout the week]
And then proceeded to leave them on stove whilst I went for a nap.
[Unintentionally of course. I was so tired I forgot the stove was on.]
Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke doesn't it? Well it wasn't.
An hour later I awoke to explosions coming from the kitchen. Sounds made by eggs committing suicide. Sounds loud enough to wake me not only from deep sleep, but deep sleep with ipod blaring. Yes, I sleep with my ipod on.
And not only did I awake to sounds, but I awoke to a haze as well. A haze that could've been described as a fog.
You can start laughing....now.
The stench of rotten eggs is, I think still in my hair, or I just might be paranoid. Our apartment stunk until I cooked enough pasta to feed an army. Now it stinks like pasta.
This reminded me of university when I managed to set eggs I was frying on fire with the flames going a foot above the pan.
Too close of a call. TWO close calls.
I can see it now...death by eggs.

Monotonous Droning
“Shelly forgot how utterly boring lectures were. How did she ever survive four years of monotonous droning?”
For the three hours that I sat in my Basic Photography class I was thinking about various Facebook statuses bemoaning the tedium that I sat through in my head. That’ll tell you how much fun it was and how much I learned.
Honestly, I don’t think the man planned for a lecture. I would’ve have learned more if I surfed the net for three hours than the three hours that I sat in that fluorescent room.
Funnily enough I didn’t feel as much guilt dinking around my mac as I would have if I was in undergrad. If you’re so boring as to not capture my attention then you don’t deserve my attention. It’s not MY fault that you like to listen to yourself talk.
Oh yeah, and this blog post? Written IN class.
Do I sound annoyed and slightly angry? That’s because I am. Because I spent good money and time for this class. I’m already anticipating the course evaluation......

A Picture Speaks A Thousand Words
Since that is it the case, I should have thousands upon thousands of words to fill up this little blog by now, but alas I only have two measly blog posts, this making it three for this year. It seems that all my creativity has been taken up with photography, sketching, painting, jewelry design, and design of all sorts in general.
I am at a loss for words, but I have never felt more alive than now when I'm letting all my God-given creativity flow out in the form of visual art. For once I feel like I'm living the abundant life.
This is all to say that I update my Flickr more than this so go there. :)
