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...

theunhunghero:
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.

Brett: I’m so glad you’re my woman.

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.

Resolutions!
I bought a book that you write one line in each day. The idea is to do it for 5 years. I don’t know if I’m explaining it right so I will post a photo later! I adore keeping a diary (I have pretty much since I could write) but I get so ~busy that I never have the time to write as much as I want. I think this will be a good alternative!
I’m starting a film blog. Not a big deal,...

The last two days we’ve just sat on the couch for hours while he plays Zelda and I read The Hunger Games and I dunno it’s just kinda wonderful.
A Walk Through Hell - Say Anything
Post about Brett’s birthday mostly for myself but you can read if you’re interested!
I didn’t actually have an opportunity to take a photo of his presents, I’ve been pretty slack with my digital camera since being here, mine broke on the flight over and I bought a new one but mostly I’ve been using my film cameras.
I gave him:
Xbox Headset
Tom Delonge beanie
...
Things
Brett’s sister’s boyfriend let me borrow The Hunger Games. So. good.
Today Brett cooked these and oh my freaking god. No words for the level of deliciousness. I want more. Now.
It’s Brett’s birthday on Friday. I have plans! But he reads my Facebook so you won’t know until he does.
The last 3 or 4 days I’ve been trying to edit the video we made, I don’t...
alongwayoff asked: WHERE ARE THE VIDEOS GIRL. <3
Brett and I are making a youtube video together!
Basically, you can ask us questions and we will answer them! Reply to this post or put them in my ask box. You can specifically ask me, or specifically Brett, or both of us. The video will be up by the end of the week so you have a couple days to get your questions in.
For those of you who don’t know, I have a youtube account where I make...
In 24 hours I:
took 4 flights through 3 different countries
ran through 2 airports to make my flights
had lunch in Los Angeles
ran through another airport because I knew Brett was waiting for me
and now I am just so. freaking. happy.
