I'm getting nowhere fast. Gotta fix me up, I've got a problem.
Nothing here is going anywhere. Marriage is a sham that I wish didn't exist.
Thank god for the majority of you. Really, everyone I have spent time with this summer you have made it worthwhile and you're amazing.
This is another stupid, cryptic entry brought to you from the macbook pro of Ashley Timbrell. (I noticed you guys talking up a storm about macs, I have one for school, let's be art fags together)

So, as horribly cliche and cheesy as it is...Perks Of Being A Wallflower is one of my favourite books. To be honest, it connected with me and developped special meaning. However, my feelings on the book are not really important.
I'm wondering though, and I know a lot of people have read the book, do you think this book would be appropriate/understood by a moderately mature twelve year old?
My little cousin likes to read and mentioned that she would like more books to read. Apart from just shoving her a bunch of my old, crappy teenager books I thought it might be nice to buy her a copy of Perks Of Being A Wallflower. I just don't want to give her this book, tell her it meant a lot to me, and have her think it's stupid due to not fully understanding it.
So? Do you think she'd get it?

On a lighter note, let's talk about the dead!
Time-based art class, tableaux vivante, mexican day of the dead as our scene, voila!
Checking out the camera and our shot, making sure it looks fabulous.
What a lovely wedding ceremony, but what are we looking down at?
So that's why there was only two people on the right side! Oh noes!
For real, this was so cool. And it was all my idea. Thus I am super awesome. Woo yeah.
Also, next Monday is our opening reception for our showcase of video art projects. Besides my tableaux vivante, I've been chosen by the teacher to have my solo assignment shown as well! So if anyone is in the area and interested, holla at me.

So, I have an emergency!
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY HAIR?!
Sorry kids, the skunk trail isn't up for debate because I love it way too much. I do feel like I need some kind of new haircut. The only reason this is hard is because I feel like my haircut has to jive with my style as a whole. So basically, I want a haircut that will look nice enough to go to school in with jeans, t-shirt, and cardigan but will also work for me dressing up.
Any ideas you lovely people? Photos would be fantastic as well.

I mostly hate my life from now until November 1st.
-Wednesday is my biology of sex midterm and I have online questions due for my critical issues class. I've studied a lot for this midterm. We just did a review in class and I got close to all the questions right. So I feel okay with that. Critical issues just pisses me off because that class is garbage, the prof is garbage, and my T.A. is garbage.
-Next Monday my time-based art video is due, so this weekend I have to finish shooting my scenes (because this weekend is the only time I could reserve a camera and tripod) and just when I thought that Saturday could be my editing day...mm, no. The lab is only open on Sunday. Talk about cutting it close. The issue with this project might be helped if all editing didn't have to be done on a Mac. Oh well, I guess on the bright side of things I can tape some footage at Jenna's Clue party to use and then edit it all in on Sunday before I go back to Oshawa. So if I do the majority of the work on Friday, tape my scenes on Friday and Saturday, Sunday I can finish up? Yes, I hope so.
-Next Thursday I have a research project due for my critical issues class that I haven't even started yet because I am dreading it's crapiness.
-Finally, on November 1st I have a 7-8 page essay due for my modern art history class that can only be about one painting. Not artist, not movement, painting. I wouldn't be so scared about this one except the book store still hasn't gotten in the textbooks. Umm...screw you Mr. "Haha, we didn't order enough and have none in stock, do you want to order a copy or wait to see if someone returns it?" YES I WANT YOU TO ORDER ME A COPY YOU IDIOT!
I know I will get all this done, and it's not like I don't even have enough time. It's just a lot of suck at once. Writing it down actually helps because it shows me that there isn't really that much to do, and it will all be over in just a little over 2 weeks.

Don't get me wrong, I really like York. I do. I am very excited for my classes, my area of study, even the location and campus. There are only two bad things. The first is definitely not anything major; I just wish that there were more power outlets in classrooms and around campus to plug in laptops. That’s it.
The second is slightly more serious, but mostly my doing. I feel extremely out of place within the student body. Everyone here seems so consumed with designer goods, high heels, and having a six-pack. I’m all short, fat, and comfortably dressed. OK, I commute to school for roughly an hour and twenty minutes each day/each way, matching my leggings and belt to my 350$ Guess handbag is not the foremost thing on my mind. Never mind the fact that I'd never even touch a Guess handbag, let alone own one.
I don't particularly enjoy some of the looks from some people. And it’s not me being paranoid, it’s just a fact. But then again, I make my own problems too. What about when someone does sit near me in class and say "hello"? I still have nothing to say to them. I know that at times I can alienate myself. I am horrible with making friends. Most times I either come off as painfully shy or horribly arrogant. So when someone may try to talk to me, I clam up. I stutter out a short answer. Then I look away. I know that this is not the way to deal with people, but I don’t see the point of not dealing with people in such a manner. But again, I totally blame that on myself and I’m pretty okay with it.
Ah well, either way, I’m pretty happy with the progression of things. I’m hoping that I can really learn and grow as an artist, maybe even as a person. Let’s see what the future brings...because I am excited for it.

I'm done my tattoo, that is the most important thing. It's taken around 6 or 7 hours but I reckon it was worth it. It hurt like hell though.
It makes me feel happy and good.
Right now some stuff in my life is super good and some is super bad. I'm just trying to roll with it, I guess.

Niagara Falls was ridiculous and fantastic and I haven't had such a good time in a long time! All I can say about the trip is that I talked way too much about bowel movements, mixed the world's biggest rum and coke in an ice bucket, and had boobies in mah face. Haha, damn it was a funny trip. I'm way too lazy to post all the pictures here, but they're on facebook incase someone is interested.
( Photos! )
I went out last night and bought a Wii. They had just gotten a shipment at Walmart and I just could not resist knowing it was probably the last time I'd find one for awhile. Haven't played it yet but am way too excited to set it up and get some friends over to play like idiots.
Tonight I took my Grandma to see Hairspray. I'd already seen it but I loved it and she did too. I basically love everything about the movie so...that was good.
We move into our new house on Friday, that's pretty exciting. I'm so pumped to get to redo my room how I want it. I've already picked out paint for the walls, purchased awesome furniture, and I cannot wait.
I'm also done full-time work in 10 business days. That'll be good. While I definitely did not mind the job and did indeed meet some fantastic people, there were also people there that were just painful to interact with on a day to day basis due to large amounts of stupid.
I'm just good now I suppose!

Last Saturday I went for my second tattoo sitting. It looks pretty darn awesome. I've got one sitting left until it's done and I couldn't be happier with it.
Last night I went to Guelph to see Mark's band. They were good, and covered some sweet songs. It was pretty sweet to see all my Guelph peeps. Got to dance with Ugly, bond with Mark 13, and give Big Billy a big ol' hug. Plus, chats with Mark and Sarah til' the early morning are nice.
( Here's a few pictures. )
K, I'm done. Apparently tonight will entail bowling and a party.
And then Friday we leave for Niagara Falls! I'M EXCITED!

So LJ is telling me that I haven't updated in three weeks. Weird.
I've just been doing lots of neat stuff. Partied in Guelph, hung out with friends, went to the Hot Rod Hootenanny, partied in Toronto, etc.
( Here's some random pictures in no particular order: )
And I'm done with photos.
Friday is opening night of Hairspray and I am ALL over that! Saturday is another sitting for my tattoo, going to add some colour, should be awesome.
The weekend after that, I just found out that Mark's band is playing their first show at the Shadow! So if anyone wants to tag along and keep me company, please do!
And now I'm done with words.

-Haircut is looking cute.
-Tattoo appointment in a week.
-Tragus peircing is looking sexy.
-Good night tonight with the boys.
-Royal Crowns in Oshawa in a week.
This all amounts to a super happy Ashley.
Went out and got a major haircut this afternoon, I've already gotten sweet compliments on it so that's pretty cool.
Then I took off for Way Cool Tattoos with my dad to check on the status of our tattoos. My god, I designed an amazing tattoo. Booked an appointment right away for next Saturday to do the outline. So excited!
While at the shop, I decided to finally pierce my tragus on the right side (the ear that already has the industrial), and it turned out really cool.
Tonight was ridiculous in all manners imaginable. Mhmm...I just love hanging with the boys. I was DD, but that's cool because this nice bartender chick made me free and tasty fruit drinks. Good times.
And today I found out that super-duper awesome rockabilly band the Royal Crowns are playing next week at Chicago's and that's too cool for words. Jordan, Jen, and Kyle are already confirmed to come with, but the more the merrier! So if anyone wants to come out and see the Royal Crowns or even just drinks with some friends, just get ahold of me for details.

Great weekend at Tim's cottage. Big thanks to him for having us.
It's good to be with your true friends. That's a large reason this weekend was so good. There were no little douches trying to be cool, or instigate fights, just good people having a good time. I greatly appreciated it. There's nothing better than just hanging out with some of your best friends and making each other laugh.
Also, I have a whole new love for the Batman movie. Haha, crap that was ridiculous.
But really, thanks guys! You rule.

So last night involved an amazing set by Derrick 'Mad About You' Vella, a ton of really neat friends, and maybe a little too much alcohol for some people.
But really, Derrick was good. There's no way to deny it. I hope he continues with what he's doing because it really is something beautiful.
( Pictures inside, so click it! )
So obviously last night was amazing.
Today I went down to Toronto for the Fat Femme Mafia clothing swap. There were all these hot, confidant girls and it was kinda awesome to see. I picked up a cute little green and white sundress and a black cardigan with rhinestone buttons. On the way out, saw a sign advertising a vintage clothing store that was having a sale. So I went there too, and I picked up a very fancy lace overlay dress and a black dress up jacket and both are from the 50's. So cool!

Important note: I know Jordan, Joe, and Derrick have expressed interest in coming with me to see Grindhouse what night works for you guys? Lemme know!
Toronto today with Derrick was awesome! Let me tell you...that new record store? Gonna bankrupt me in no time. They have ridiculous amounts of really good vinyl for decent prices. I am so in!
Today I got some quite amazing stuff:
- Charlie Feathers "So Ashamed"/"Bottle To The Baby" 7"
- Maximum R'n'R Take On The Spades 7"
- Benny Joy "Spin The Bottle"/"Wild Wild Lover" 7"
- Benny Joy "Steady With Betty"/"Miss Bobby Sox" 7"
- Kings Of Nuthin' "Fight Songs For Fuckups" LP
- Deke Dickerson In 3-Dimensions LP
- Nasty Rockabilly Vol.2 LP
- Nasty Rockabilly Vol.4 LP
- Nasty Rockabilly Vol.5 LP
- Nasty Rockabilly Vol.7 LP
I don't think a lot of people understand...but those records are hard to find!
God I'm happy. Retail therapy always does that for me. Another good chance for retail therapy is this Sunday, there's this thing called a fat girl flea market and it's basically a clothing swap for sassy fatties. I am all about sassy fattie girl clothes, so I'm pretty pumped and hope I can make it down there.
