I'VE GOT IT

My new year resolutions I've made 3 major ones . . . not 10 but just 3!

1. NO MORE DRINKING. I know a lot of my friends think I can't do it or they think its a STUPID goal (thanks for the support) reasons being:

a) I don't need to drink to have fun. makes me feel like shit anyways but I still do it WHY?

b) It's a waste of money

c) It does NOTHING good for my body and contradicts goal number 2

2. DANCE DANCE DANCE. If i'm going to be a dancer i have to be healthy, eat healthy, exercise constantly . . . take lessons too

3. MUSIC. Do more with music. play more shows! record more (hopefully will have a pretty good demo cd out)

i think those are pretty REASONABLE goals ya?

NEW YEAR

So the new year is upon us. Yes I have NOT been posting as much as Julz recently thats ok new year . . . hopefully.

So you remember the 10 goals I had decided would be done in 2010? http://cantstopcrafttillwedrop.blogspot.com/2009/12/im-soo-psyched.html

well I thought that would be reasonable but it really wasn't. ok lets see what i DID accomplish form that list

1. Health: get in shape, eat better

have definitely been eating better and exercising and becoming vegan really helped. Next step get into dance! Thought I'd try to get back into gymnastics but I've been interested in contemporary dance excited about that. Lots of working out ahead of me

2. Travel: see more of europe

have decided i need to save more and HOPEFULLY go next fall

3. Music: perform, collaborate & band

If recording in a studio with the AMAZING Matt Wallace counts as collaborating (and it does) then I'm good. Have yet to do a duet with Dom

4. Cultural: learn french

actually I've been learning to speaking Hebrew from my bosses

5. Film: write direct

uh . . . . its really hard to come up with ideas when my partner in crime won't help.

6. Acting: agent, auditions, extras

nope. haven't been interested in acting lately

7. Education: study film, creative writing

I'm currently wait listed for a "Art of Short Film" class for jan.

8. Cards: tarot & poker

people keep telling they'll teach me.

9. Work: new or 2nd job

looking into bartending courses so i can get out of Breka!

10. Socialize: Meet new people

DEFINITELY met new people including my AWESOME roommate, her bf, among others.

So Christmas this year wasn't as relaxing as last year. Though this time the whole family was together me, my sister, my mom and Raymond plus Raymond's brothers and their kids (an adorable 4 year old, 6 year old and 10 year old)

Going back to vancouver to celebrate the new year (a RELAXING calming new year) don't plan on going downtown too crazy, too cold and too expensive.

ALRIGHT i think thats about it sorry again for NOT posting not that we have a hundred adoring fans just waiting for out next posts it would be nice I'm just saying.

Lately.

Lately, I've been spending hours in the library. It's finals season.

Lately, I've been watching lots of vampire movies for my Vampires in Culture and Film class and,

Lately, I've been crafting while watching Dracula, Shadow of a Vampire, and Lost Boys.

One thing I'm really excited about is that I recently had my bottlecap magnets up at a craft fair, and I did really well! I didn't turn a huge profit in the grand scheme, but compared to what I spent on supplies, I done good! I wasn't expecting to break even, so this is very exciting. I wasn't able to make it to Vancouver for the craft fair, but I have some pictures of the product:

It's crazy to think that I could walk into someone's house who isn't a close friend and see something I made on their fridge! And the more I make and the more craft fairs I put my stuff in, the higher these chances are! Something I MADE is in a stranger's house. It's weird.

Until them, I've been knitting knitting, vampires, knitting, vampires, knitting, linguistics. I made some coffee cup sleeves too, they didn't make the craft fair, but pictures soon to follow.

Happy Festivus!

xo, Julz.
