How much does it suck when you walk 5 mins/direction to Second Cup to get your favorite holiday latte and when it's actually cool enough to drink...you are back in your office, taste it and it tastes like the barista..or is it barrister (male?) hehe.. umm gave you one that tastes like he managed to figure out the espresso and milk part, but completely lacks the flavour part of it. Ick!
This latte is horrible. If I wanted to drink espresso flavoured milk, I'd stay at work and conjure up something. FFS! This sucks. I don't have time to go back, because my break time is done. So I have this $4 drink sitting here that tastes like s**t, but feel compelled to drink it due to paying for it. I think from now on I'll have to try and leave 10 mins earlier, so I can get off the streetcar and go to the Second Cup where the girls know how to make the best Candy Cane latte around.
Ok, enough of my brief ranting and raving.

miss fette
So, it's been a very long time it seems. I will have to give a point form listed update of my world.
- I had my first photography public showing!!! :)
My work is still up and for sale at: PeriDot Resto Lounge in Toronto at 81 Bloor St E (just east on Yonge)
- I did the photoshoot for the hair contest...so my hair is still black and I'm maintaining it..with red in it.
- I went to Spain...it wasn't too shabby.
- Work is work.
- I'm going to Colombia soon.
- I've been working on my photos a lot lately and taking photos whenever possible.
- I got 4 hours of new ink on my body
Ok, that's pretty much the last few months in a nutshell. Life has been extremely busy and always interesting as can be expected. I never really did lead a "normal" life and I'm glad. There's been some twists, some turns and some fun bumps along the way, but everything is making sense and falling nicely into place.
I'm going to try and get something together for shebytches this week, as I've been hardcore slacking lately. BAD ME!!

Flying out of windows
I'm sitting in my office gazing out my huge window. I'm on the top floor (only 5 stories) and all I want to do is fly out that window and wake up somewhere new. I don't mean waking up in some hospital packaged up in plaster with respirators pumping oxygen in me. I am referring to waking up somewhere brand new. Starting again from scratch.
If my job wasn't so awesome I likely would have done this years ago. Now, I should say. I truly love my friends and family and all that is here, but I'm sure they would all be happy for me where ever I went as long as I was happy.
Though maybe because a lot has been going on behind the scenes in my life that is why I'm having my yearly random urge to leave. Maybe it just means a new chapter in my life is starting again. I guess time will tell and we'll see where it goes.
The weekend was decent. Saw lots of friends, wiggled my bum, had alone time and had not even close to enough sleep. Now, I'm tryingto figure out how to sketch a wave...argh!
Off I go.

up to the date
Let's see....
What can I inform you all about.
Well my birthday was...well it was my birthday. Yup. Not too exciting. Though I did get to go to The KEG Mansion finally!!! Yay! Amazing environment to eat in. I want to move in!!
My mom still hasn't called, which sucks.
On Tuesday I did get my first cake in about 17 years!! That was pretty exciting. Yes, that's how sad my life is. That I get excited when I get a cake for my birthday. I have gotten shared ones in the past between my uncle and me, but they are always cheesecake, because he loves cheesecake and I dislike it a lot. EWwW, I sound like a silly 12 year old ugh.
I have a bday lunch in a couple mins, then another one tomorrow!! WHeeEee. Good times.
Tonight I shall be EYES for my grand ma at the Mandarin. EWWw, but grand ma likes it so I'll be a good grand daughter and eat that crap, hopefully they have some sushi or something I can not get overly grossed out by.
Oh, it's lunch time.

Birthday Pity PArty
Ok, so it's my Birthday. I think this gives me full whining rights or whatever the fuck I want to write about. I really am not as narcissistic as this will come out sounding...it's just Monday and I'm bummed and what not.
First off I'm at work...on my break so I can write this if I please.
Secondly, I have woken up to not one single birthday email in my inbox. That's pretty depressing. Maybe only because for the last few years my birthday has been a big fucking deal. Maybe everyone is sick of me...who knows.
Thirdly..dinner tonight..I won't even go there. Let's just say my plans were cancelled not by me, I know and understand why...but it's still disappointing on your birthday.
Fourthly...this was the first year in like 5 years I have made my own breakfast and eaten it alone on my birthday. That actually truly sucked and was depressing. Also no one offered to take me out for birthday lunch this year. It's generally pretty hard to actually depress me, but maybe because I'm used to people making a big deal about me one day a year I've grown accustomed to it, I'm feeling pretty let done and sad this year.
Lastly...it's 11:20am and none of my family members have called yet. My mom and grand ma are usually quite awesome about this. My so-called dad is generally impressed with himself if he calls within the week and my aunt and uncle will likely have left a message by the end of the day...I don't expect them to have called by now. They never forget :)
So now I will take myself to get a frappuchino, cause it is MY birthday after all. Then I shall grumble and whatever in my office after, catching up on some work while having a pity party!
It's about 20 minutes later and I just wanted to add something, even though my friends don't read this. I know exactly what would help me feel better. If for once someone would throw a bday event for me. In high school my friends would tell me they were going to throw me a surprise party, when my bday rolled around and waved goodbye nothing had happened. That's why the last few years I have always had to make the plans and everything. I just wish for once someone would think to be the one to organize something big and fun for my birthday. Is that really asking a lot?

BIRTHDAY WISHLIST
As my birthday is slowly but quickly approaching, I know it's time to start generating a BIRTHDAY WISHLIST!! Maybe I already have and don't remember?? Who knows.
But, I have one brewing in my head right now, that needs to be shared for those who can't think of something creative on their own.
1. Black housecoat/robe
2. 2-day Tickets to the VIRGIN music festival in Sept
3. Tickets to Wake Stock (Deftones are playing!!!)
4. Canon macro lens that will work with a Canon 30D SLR (even a Sigma is kewl as it is significantly cheaper, not as good quality, but hey, such is life)
5. Canon Powershot SD430 camera (I need something that is light and easy to carry around)
6. Pretty skin
7. Plugs for my ears that screw on and have a star design, gauged either 8 or 6. It has to be a screw on type as others fall out of my stretchy ears.
8. Canon EW-63II Hood (28-105) lens
HRm..that's all I can really think of, unless someone wants to take me on vacation!!
More may be coming...we'll see.

holy moly BATMAN
Well well well, look who it is....
ME!!
Whoot whoot.
So, for all none of you that read this I will recount my actions lately.
All weekend (which was extended) I was at my cottage relaxing and enjoying akdov. It was great to get up north and be out of the city for a little bit. I know it is good for my own mental health, so I don't let my mind out of my head and lose it somewhere.
HRm..what else....
I've decided I shall get back into pseudo-modelling. I say pseudo, only because I will never call myself a model. I love doing photoshoots for photographers, but it's not like I have people lined up around the block wanting to shoot me. Though, it seems I may very possibly be working with a known Toronto photographer for a series/project he is doing which is of great interest to me and think suitable for me to be posing for.
I've also had a couple other photographers ask to work with me doing some shoots and such. I think the only interest in me is that I am rather unique looking and intense. I can look 19 and I can look 30.
On a side note, I have been putting up a couple photos a week on deviant.. http://amberfette.deviantart.com/ so check there often!! Feel free to inquire about buying work too...come on I'm a starving artist!!!
On the work front... I won a garden plot! I entered a contest where I had to write a 100 word essay as to why I wanted a garden plot in downtown Toronto and won one of only 12 plots!! For some reason I knew I would get it. Finally my writing skills won me something...though I do really lack writing skills, but that's why I blog and write for shebytches and stuff. To hopefully have my skills constantly growing and developing. I would love to write and photograph some day as a career. I love my regular job, but it is taxing on my health with my disorder (Narcolepsy). See, this is why I need you all to buy my photos!! (ok, they aren't that great, but I try).
WHeeE.
This weekend I'm going back up north for a wedding reception. I have to supervise those crazy kids under the influence...actually more like photograph them while under the influence!! HEHehe.
Ok, I'm going to go attempt to write a piece for Shebytches.
Be good.
ME!!
