Letter

This post may be largely ignored due to the somewhat repetitive hormonal angst and hypocritical statements.

Dear Life,

What the fuck.

I kind of realize that it's too much to ask for me to go through my teenage years without some kind of ridiculous drama that seriously isn't worth my time or energy.
But could you at least let me experience in order?
Since when is denial, depression, and then finally acceptance followed by HOLYSHITINEEDTOPUNCHSOMETHING rage?

Ok I am angry.

Irrationally so.

I actually can't remember the last time I've ever gotten so worked up over something that quite seriously isn't even worth it.
I might even end up learning some angry bitter song on the guitar so I can yell along with it. At least my Youtube account would get some new material.

But enough with being optimistic.

DO NOT JUDGE MY MATURITY BASED ON YOURS AT 16.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO ANGRY AT THE FACT THAT I HAVE NOTHING TO BE JEALOUS OF.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO ABSOLUTELY SICKENED BY JUST HOW PREDICTABLE THE HUMAN RACE HAS BECOME.
I HAVE HAD IT WITH BEING UNDERESTIMATED FOR WHATEVER REASON.
THE FACT THAT I AM YOUNG, FEMALE AND WHITE DOES NOT TRANSLATE INTO NAIVE, WEAK AND RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING GOING WRONG WITH THE WORLD PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.

But on the other hand, my self esteem has never been this great.

So please Life, whatever you're trying to teach me here, could you kinda start speaking my language? Oh and kindly go fuck yourself sideways.

Love,
Lenny.

P.S. I seriously need to go back to TKD and go punch something. Hard. Preferably something that will put up some kind of a fight.
Here's a Bill chibi, drawn for Yuliya's bday. Because you've been such great sports.

Wonderlaaand~


Well I finally managed to crank out a painting after much procrastination and total lack of inspiration. I could have done better but it feels like I haven't touched my watercolours in years.
OHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD.

Well I finally managed to go to Wonderland with a bunch of friends on Wednesday and holy shit why haven't we done that sooner. I have a hard time remembering the last time I've had so much fun.
We didn't get a chance to ride on Behemoth because of how goddamn LONG that line was. Which sucked, but we're sprinting there first chance we get next time.
Everything else was super though :]
I have a whole whack of miscellaneous photos on my computer that I haven't had a chance to upload to Facebook and I'm pretty sure people want to see what creeper photos I've managed to take over the past year or so. This includes the black belt testing, TKD Christmas party, and the wonderland trip.
We'll see if I just end up posting them all together.
I heard something about Lafee doing a duet with Tokio Hotel but can't seem to find the song. Maybe it's in the works at the moment?
I'd love to hear it.
Peace,
~Lenny

Keys, HBD SARFACE and Tokio Hotel

A drawing because that's how I cope with everything. I need to draw more. I mean seriously, this only took me less than an hour and GAH.
Happy Birthday Sara! I'm sorry that you ended up being the guinea pig that I test out my new nib pen and ink on LOL. Haven't actually ever used a nib pen before, but I am LOVING the line variation and awesome old-fashioned-ness of it all.

WARNING: EXTREME FANGIRLING AHEAD.

*deafening fangirl squeal*
OMG OMG OMG OMG OOH MY EFFING GOD. SMITE ME NOW.
TOKIO HOTEL'S RELEASING THEIR NEW ALBUM "HUMANOID" ON OCTOBER 2ND OF THIS YEAR HOLY SHIT I THINK I JUST DIED A LITTLE INSIDE.
Ok ok no more caps, promise.
1. Bill, I know you make all girls look ugly next to you, and I love you to death, but what on earth is up with the hair? (though he can probably shave his head and still be prettier than I can ever hope to be)
2. *suppressed shriek* Gustav + glasses = <3>
3. I'm not sure how I feel about Tom's cornrows LOL but I love Georg. You have my heart right after Bill.
4. Can you tell I'm excited? I heard a 7 second clip of 2 songs that were leaked on youtube and god I never knew I was capable of such a high-pitched squeal.
5. Come back to Canada sometime soon please.
6. Can you tell that I would sell my soul and my left arm for a chance to meet these guys in person?
Ok ok I'm done, I swear. *deep breath*

ROAD TRIP: Part 2 - Kiptopeke State Park, Virginia

And so starts the long week that I spent in Virginia, camping and bored out of my mind for the most part.


A praying mantis that fell on the picnic table of the family we were camping with.

A horseshoe crab (dead of course)

A blue crab. Native to Chesapeke bay apparently. Ate a ton of these.

I have to give Virginia credit for it's amazing sunsets.

A ghost crab. Cutest things ever. Next to maybe my cat.

The beach :] On one of the most overcast days of the entire week

Obligatory picture of me in a bikini. Moving on.

LOL. A hermit crab

We caught a flounder with a crab trap. Now THAT'S skill.

An undersized sea bass that we let go

My mom on the pier.

Clouds

Another sunset :]

AAAAAAAAAAAnd another one

One more for good luck.

Me in front of a sunset in a dress looking appropriately awkward.

Obligatory jumping pictures.

Hellen insists I look like Britney Spears. I have no idea if I should feel offended or not. I hate that.

My dad's personal fav. "I'm a pretty birdy!"

Last one folks.
It took me far too long to get these pictures up but I guess I've had no motivation as of late. For anything. Let's hope summer picks up and we actually end up going swimming like we planned. No more excitement life, thanks. I'm still recovering from that last curveball you threw.
Peace Out,
~Lenny
P.S. Saw "The Ugly Truth" on Friday and that was by far one of the best romantic comedies I've seen in a long time. It actually made me laugh. Watch it if you have the chance, because predictable it is, but it's still good.

ROAD TRIP: Part 1 - Washington, D.C.

Well I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAACK :] And what an interesting time I had. From Maryland to D.C. to Virginia, and I think we passed through New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Love Delaware, no taxes! :D

So between all our misadventures, all the rain, the heat, the windshield wiper flying off somewhere in Pennsylvania, scarfing down pizza with knives and forks, the y'all's, the only half-successful tan, my lack of knowledge in the field of American history, and our difficulties finding butter in a gorcery store, it was fun. I can't say it wasn't fun.

Our hotel room in Largo, Maryland. And half of my brother.

Complimentary Holy Bible. XD

The doors to the metro. Metro! hahaha I'm so used to calling it the subway.

Here's us at the start of the tour (mom, brother, me). We were the only Canadians in the group. There were some Brits, some Americans, some French speakers, and something that sounded a lot like Latvian but I seriously can't tell the difference. We got a pretty cool tour guide, as long as you didn't get too close to him. We want to hear the news not the weather, if you catch my drift.

The Vietnam War Memorial. It was really pretty I must say, and really well done. It's almost as though by seeing your reflection in the stone you can put a face to the name. Or I may be crazy.


The far less controversial half of the Vietnam War Memorial. These three were looking right at the wall of names and as an art major, I LOOOOOOOVE this sculpture. Beautiful.

Vein-y arm! This makes me happy for no reason.

Me standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial. It was suffocatingly hot and crowded that day and I ran out of water halfway through the day.


Me, dad, and Abe Lincoln.


Me, mom, and Abe Lincoln.


Me, dad and brother on the steps of the Lincoln memorial.


The Washington Monument.


Me, in front of the wall of gold stars at the World War II memorial

Same wall of stars, my eyes are closed because that's what the cool kids do. Actually it was more along the lines of the fact that the sun was in my eyes and my dad refused to let up on the picture taking.

Walking alongside the Vietnam War Memorial. Wow out of sequence much.


The White House! Sorry guys this is as close as I could get to Obama without being killed by the snipers on the roof :(
I could however get a picture of myself kissing him, for $7. But he's married and a tad old for me.

The Post Office! This place was great. It was a lot like that underground food court that was near the AGO, only bigger and indoors and classier. There was this elevator that went all the way up to that tower and you could see the original bells, and all of D.C spread out below you. It was awesome.

The ride back to Largo, Maryland on the metro. Tired, sweaty, and my feet hurt like hell. But it was an awesome experience. I wish I had more than one day to spend in D.C. And more patience to show you guys more pictures. But I can't be arsed to write a detailed entry.
