Warning: first world problems. I’m in my 29th month of braces. I’ve done everything my orthodontist has ever told me to do, yet I’m close to having them for twice the amount of time he originally estimated. There is just one more gap that has to close and every single day I look at it and consider trying to force my teeth together. I find out on April 3rd if I’ll still have...

I bought flights to New Zealand to go see my wonderful girlfriend Jaz.
I only have one (unrelated) thing to say…
I CAN’T believe she went to Ireland and banged her dead husbands ex-bandmate/friend. That whore! If I was him, I’d haunt the shit out of her.
Seriously…you organize a trip to Ireland from beyond the grave and she bones your friend. Oh bitch…

After two months of living out of a suitcase I am back in Christchurch until I finish my degree and I’m unpacking and listening to the new Say Anything album and thinking about how I wish I could go back to the airport and make the 24 hour journey to Edmonton.

longdistancestories:
Over a year ago I decided to change and start my life over. This included leaving my home state, the only comfort zone I know. Moving away from my life long homies. But the pros outweighed the cons. The cost of living in Northern California is ridiculous. My life felt mediocre. I was sick of taking care of my live in boyfriend who only liked to put me down. A month after...
euphoric-underworld asked: You and Brett give me so much hope. You're EXTREMELY cute and perfect, the connection the two of you have is very visible. I know I'm only 16 but I want exactly what you've got right there. It's so magical. I've been watching your videos for a few months now and I'm not sure why I just subscribed today, but they make me so happy. I can't wait to see more adorable...

Interviewer: Jimmy Eat World played at your wedding.
Tom: Yeah, that was rad.
Mark: Tell her about how you cried like a girl, that was cool.
Tom: You know what's so funny, well this is what happened: First time I told her I loved her we came and we saw Jimmy Eat World play and we're listening to one of their songs, they're on the stereo, and so when I'm getting ready to walk in to the reception she hands me a present and I open it up and it said "You remember the first time you told me you loved me?" and I was like "Yeah, this is all I get for a present?" you know, I don't know! And she pulls me in to the reception and there they [Jimmy Eat World] are in suits and they start playing the song and I had no idea they were there, it was a crazy surprise. And so, you know, just to make everyone happy I cried, you know. Like if I don't cry right now they're going to think I'm unappreciative so I made myself cry and cry and cry.
Mark: The funny thing about it was, like, Tom made it all the way through his wedding ceremony and everything, no tears at all, like no problem and then when his favourite bands playing then... Wah!
Decided to cut out a bunch of the henna still left in my hair.
I feel like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. And I like it.
Me: I'm thinking of just cutting the henna out of my hair. It'll make my hair a lot shorter though and I know you like it long..
Brett: Get rid of it! I'm sick of it! Cut that shit out! No but for real I am kidding, if you asked me to point it out I'd be like "er.. what henna?"

Surveyin’ it up
Are looks important in a relationship? I think you need to find the other person attractive yes. But in saying that, I think people become more attractive in your eyes when you get to know their personality.
Are relationships ever worth it? Of course
Are you in a relationship? Yes
Are you in love? I am
Are you single this year? Nope
Can you commit to one person? Yes
...
I’m feeling a little down, so I am gonna make a list of the things that I love.
laughing
making people laugh
making Brett laugh (this is my favourite thing in the world)
getting film developed
when it’s pouring with rain and I am snug in bed
being really proud of something I created
the BURR-CHICK-WHIRRRRRRR sound a Polaroid makes
the days Brett and I spent hanging out in our...

Every text post I write turns into a depressing rant about how much I miss Brett and how hard I’m finding adjusting to the weather and crap. Therefore, survey!
Around what temperature do you consider it to be too hot outside? I dunno, not very hot because I burn veeeeeery easily.
In what ways do you expect your life to be different one year from now? Living in Canada working as a Graphic...

My name is Brett and her name is Jasmine. We’ve been in an LDR for a while now and Jaz just left Canada for the second time. Her first trip was back in July for 2 weeks and as I type this she’s on a long flight back to New Zealand after spending 5 weeks with me. When I say 5 weeks with me…I mean almost EVERY second of every day was spent together. Before she arrived we were both a...

We’ve only been apart for 8 hours but it feels like it has been so much longer. It’s strange how when you’re with someone you can become so much less aware of time passing. When we’re together we laugh almost constantly, and we talk even more than when we are on skype. Brett’s step-dad hugged me so hard when I left and said “you have done nothing but wonderful...
We’re leaving in half an hour to drive to the city I fly out from
My luggage is 7kg over the weight limit
I don’t know where the last 5 weeks went
Your life is incomplete without reading this.
This post is extremely long but you just have to read it oh my fucking god.
I laughed out loud while Brett was live on the radio at this, then we read it together and laughed our asses off. I know it’s long but I NEEDED it on my blog.

Today I slipped over on ice and slammed hard onto the ground. I got winded and scraped my elbow and my hip hurts so freaking bad.
BUT
One of Brett’s co-workers gave me a red velvet cupcake bigger than my fist.
Then Brett sat through an hour of Kourtney and Kim Take New York to take my mind off of it, and when we get home he’s making homemade pizza and letting me pick a movie. And...

Watching Brett following the instructions in the Wreck This Journal I gave him for his birthday is the best form of entertainment in the world.
