Relaxing night alone.
That sounds a lot more depressing reading it than it did in my head...

314. Anybody on tumblr you'd go on a date with?
Yeah, probably. I just don't know who they are.

315. Put your iTunes on shuffle. Give me the first 6 songs that pop up.
I'm doing this on my laptop, which has basically every song I've ever listened to on it, so this is bound to be wild.
1. Tchaikovsky: Symphony #5 In E Minor, Op. 64 - Andante by Yehudi Menuhin; Efrem Kurtz: Philharmonia Orchestra
2. Burning Ones by Jesus Culture
3. All I Ever Wanted (DJ Alex Extended Remix) by Basshunter
4. Sing Your Praises (Live) by Onething and Matt Gilman
5. Mercy by Casting Crowns
6. My Saviour God by Aaron Shust
I didn't think I had that much Christian music to get 66% Christian songs. But, there you have it.

Handwriting Fonts

Create your own font here.
All of my free time is now going to be spent creating fonts.

As some of you may or may not know, I made a documentary last term about 1 Columbia, a high rise apartment building that wasn't ready for their move-in date. There's an article in the Record about it.

310. Are you still friends with people from kindergarten?
No.

311. Have you ever fired a gun?
Yes. Not one powered with gun powder though.

312. Do you like to travel by plane?
Yes!

313. Do you have a tattoo?
No.*

*I tried looking online for a picture of a small tattoo that was in a place I could easily hide on a body that could believably be mine, or at least photoshopped to look like mine, and see if I could trick you. Alas, not a lot of people out there have small tattoos in places usually covered.

Typography

I have a typography assignment. What are your thoughts on these? Specifically in terms of: which letters are larger than others, letters beside each other, patterns, and colour.

      

Twolips

This is my second go at my drawing tablet, using the software that came with it. I used a feature called trace, so I was only responsible for the strokes and the program gave me the colour from the image below. It would choose the colour where ever you started the stroke and then keep that colour until you lifted the stylus. So basically, it did everything that would resemble talent. But, you have to start somewhere.

Lonely Friday Nights

I was going to go to Charge (P2C) this evening, but the bus never came, so that didn't happen. My friend who was also going got caught up with something with her family, so she couldn't make it either. Clearly we weren't meant to go tonight. But this meant that suddenly I had a Friday night ahead of me with nothing planned. So I made cookies. Red velvet with mini white chocolate chips. They're really tasty. And I didn't really do anything else. I was trying to fill a void, to be honest. My roommates went out with some friends to a pub/club (I'm not sure which) so I was alone. It got a little lonely. I was floating around on the internet but nothing interested me. I probably could have got some work done, but I used the excuse that it's Friday, so I should take a break.

I'm listening to You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban

306. Been caught doing something you weren't supposed to do?
Maybe more like something I was supposed to do but wasn't doing. When I was little we had to take these awful gummy vitamins. I hated them. So I started going to the bathroom immediately after dinner and I would spit it out into the garbage. I always made sure to cover it with a piece of toilet paper so I wouldn't get caught. I even crumpled the toilet paper so it wouldn't look so obvious. That lasted for a while. But one time when my mom was emptying the garbage, she found them. And not just one, but lots of them. I was caught. Thinking back on this now, it would have been smarter of me to not take the same colour gummy every time, because that immediately told my parents that it was me, and not my siblings, that was spitting them out. Occasionally, I would still spit them out, but in different garbage cans and wrapped in toilet paper. Thank goodness I don't have to take them anymore.

307. Do you have a best friend of the opposite sex?
Nope.

308. Have you ever loved someone?
Truly (not including family)? No.

309. Who would you like to see right now?
My family.

Art! Creativity!

I got a drawing tablet for Christmas (!!!) and I wanted to try it out. So to celebrate the Cumberbaby, here's Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter.

Sophie's dress was a pain. Eventually I'll colour it in or something. But not bad for my first time using a drawing tablet and...tracing a picture!

there's officially a cumberbaby on the way

301. What books are you reading?
The Book of (Even More) AWESOME

302. Piercings?
One in each ear lobe along with a cartilage piercing on my left ear.

303. Butter, plain or salted popcorn?
Double caramel, actually.

304. Dogs or cats?
Cats.

305. Favourite flower?
Plumeria? Maybe? I don't have a favourite flower. Chrysanthemums are nice too.

there might be a cumberbaby on the way

Me, basically.

I'm Back

Today was the ideal day to relax and go to bed early and get a good nights sleep. And so obviously I blew it. It's harder and harder to go to bed early, even if I want to. I'm back in Waterloo now, because I have training all day tomorrow for being an International Peer Mentor this semester. It's one of the requirements to get the Global Experience Certificate, which I'm going for. It will be interesting to see how it goes, because I am not the most outgoing person and I've never before attempted to communicate with someone who doesn't know English.
Coming back to Waterloo was easier than I was expecting. I was thinking that I would have to get used to my apartment all over again, but I slipped right back into my routine here, which is nice. I'm the only one back so far. My two friends are supposed to arrive tomorrow. The other two roommates I had last term are on co-op this term so I will be getting two new roommates. Well, one of them didn't find a subletter, so there might only be 4 of us in the apartment for a while. That would be nice, just to not have so many people in such a small space.
Well, here's to hoping this year, and more specifically, this term, goes well!

I'm listening to Songza's Reddit 100 Most Beautiful Songs.

298. Do you want your friends to respond to this?
Getting comments is one of my favourite things.

299. Who is most likely to respond to a text from you?
Definitely not my Dad. Probably my BFFLAAT. Or my mom.

300(!). Who is least likely to respond to a text from you?
Ha! My dad ;)

Happy New Year!

My New Year's resolution is to write somebody a letter each week. All will go through snail mail. Keep an eye out for yours :)
