Meerrrrry Christmas!!

I would just like to say Merry Xmas, Happy Holidays, and may 2005 be a fabulous year for everyone!

In wrapping this year up (what a pun!) and turning a year older, here is the wisdom that I have gained from this year's experiences:

1. School goes by way too fast, so enjoy it while you can! (Yikes, here comes the real world!)

2. Your immediate family becomes more annoying as the years go by, so get out as soon as you can! (I'm trying right now!)

3. Although number 2 is true, it's easier to save your money for the real world while you live at home, so try to be cool with your family. It makes life easier.

4. Internships are the greatest! I suggest interning at a place that you would actually want to work at.

5. Go see some art. It will get you thinking. Seriously. Even if you hate it, it will make you think. Come to my gallery: Mercer Union!

6. Get involved...in anything...anything that makes you happy. Volunteer, take lessons, go to events, blah blah blah. Slow down and do something you wanna do. It can't always be about making money and school!

7. Support your friends and family. Don't be lazy. If someone asks you to come out to an event they are a part of....do it! You are important to them and so is your physical support.

8. Donate some money. Raising money is an effing bitch so when someone asks you to donate $2 bucks for something, give em $5!

9. Ebay is the greatest....but it's addictive, watch out!!

10. Explore Downtown. There's always somewhere you haven't been that could be a fabulous place to shop.

11. Stop buying into commercialism...I know we all do it everyday, but I dunno, stop drinking Coke, going to McDonalds and wearing Nike. (Although I still have my beautiful Nike Shox!) Instead go out and watch "Farenheit 9/11", "The Corporation" and "Supersize Me". Being educated is the first step!

12. I luv Shauny more and more each day. Thanx babes for always being there for me! I hope everyone finds their Shaun's some day!

Well, thats all the knowledge that I can remember from the year, but I'm sure there's much more. Stay tuned for my New Year's Resolutions!

xoxoxtina

Thanx to everyone!

Well, as my 3 parties have come to an end, I would just like to say thanx to those who made it out....i know it was tough with the weather and everything, but I was glad I saw some of you at least once.

And to those who came out twice, thanx even more....u guys r fabulous! Also, i would like to thank Shaun the most for putting up with all the crap i make him deal with... thanx babes!

Pictures will be coming soon of our fun time at Marches, cuz i didn't bring my digi cam (like a loser) so i have to scan in sarah's pics. also, York's server is being retarded so i may have to download that "hello" program. We'll see.

Upcoming party #3!!

Where: Marche's @ the corner of Yonge and Front St. (BCE place at Union Station). 416-366-8986.
When: Thursday, December 23th
Time: 7:30- 8:00 pm to whenever!
Other Stuff: Bring anyone you want! I have decided to cancel the reservations at 6:30, cuz some ppl were working and it just seemed to early. If everyone is there for 7:30 then we can probably get a table for 8, then we can go out after. We will probably go to a bar or go for coffee or something, so if u can't make it for 8, feel free to come after!

This is also a reminder for the New Years Eve party I'm gonna be at (with Shaun, Anna, Sarah and others!)....check out details here!! It's gonna be a cheap good time, so let me know, cuz I would like to buy the tickets by this Friday!!

Again....please please let me know....I need to make the reservations and/or get tickets! email or call!



Ohhhh Party # 2!!

Well, its been a while since my last post....I know you have all missed it!! But i have been a busy busy girl this past week! I finally finished the dreaded 'Cyborg DVD' (if you don't know about it, you don't wanna know about it!!) and handed it in yesterday...soooo....IM OFFICIALLY DONE!!!!

So on saturday, (my party!) we show up at stupid Lot 332 (who btw didn't call me back when I left a message about getting on guestlist) and the non guestlist line was superlong and they weren't letting anyone who wasn't VIP in! (unless u buttered up the bouncer with a $50!!) soooo....we went to Lucid, but didn't actually go there cuz i didn't wanna wait outside any longer cuz my feet were killing from my beautiful shoes!

but, we ended up and the tried and true Montana (the place i have been going for my past 3 b-days!)and had a great time of course! (Thanx Luus, Bonnie and Shauny of course for putting up with my sore feet!)

This experience taught me a few things(although i already knew them)....clubbing is soooo overrated....clubs act like highschool, only 'cool ppl' can get in......im getting old cuz i have this mentality!!!

aaaahhhhhhhhhh........

New Years Eve!!

hey everyone...

ok, this is what i'm doing for new years....its being hosted by Mercer Union (my gallery). So far its gonna be moi, shauny, anna, sarah, some of their friends and anyone and everyone else i can convince to come to this awesome bash!

Its gonna be cheap (cuz i'm getting everyone discounts), around $20, and drinks will be $5 each. Last year there was over 1000 ppl and it was a really good party. (no art involved in any way!)

So basically, i would like to spend New Years with as many friends as possible, so COME OUT! no excuses ppl! Here are the deets from the website:


Following the huge success of last year’s Dirty Silver New Year’s Eve Party, we invite you to join us again this New Year’s Eve, 'cause it's going to be...

A Dirtier Silver New Year’s Eve Party

Ring in 2005 and sweat to smart music with:

DJ Ayres & Cosmos Baker from Brooklyn, NY (The Rub, Brooklyn)

SuperPeakNick from Milan, Italy (P.O.T. Killer Plastic, Milan/Link Project, Bologna)

and Toronto's very own:

The Dukes (thedukesdjs.com)
DIDI 7 (aka Luis Jacob)(Rhythm Box/Big Primpin'/Synchro, Toronto)
DJ dmt (aka Derek Mainella) (Mind Control, Toronto)

WHEN: Friday 31 December, 2004, 10PM until daybreak

WHERE: Studio 99, 99 Sudbury Street (Queen West and Dovercourt)

Advance tickets are available for only $25, $20 for Mercer Union members, or the best deal of all, $35 for a Mercer Union Associate Membership and a ticket to the party. If you buy it at the door, it’s still a bargain at $35 before midnight & $40 after midnight.
And we’ll still be open when everywhere else is closed…(but i'm getting us discounted tickets!)

Visit www.where.ca/toronto for a preview of this year’s party

Look forward to dirty martinis, flowing champagne, red lipstick, sticky fingers, sloppy kisses, drunk rock and tarnished reputations.

YOU CAN STOP KICKING YOURSELF IN THE ASS FOR MISSING MERCER UNION’S DIRTY SILVER NEW YEARS PARTY LAST YEAR, BECAUSE WE’RE DOING IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME IT'S GOING TO BE EVEN DIRTIER…
