Always Remember…

“The dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.”

- T. E. Lawrence

This is even more true of women.

Dilemma…

This is what goes through my mind every single time I hit the “publish” button:

Blogging is such a pain in my ass… I want to be truthful but I also don’t want to deal with hate mail from Mean Christians and misogynists. People are scary and I’m too sensitive but also I’m just trying to do right by the teenage girls who email me and tell me they’re sad because of the way society treats them. But these are First World Problems and I shouldn’t even be complaining… especially not on a blog or Facebook or Twitter because they are social networks and not platforms for my beliefs… maybe I’ll post a video of a sleepy kitty instead… 

This is why I’ve been on a blog hiatus.

I worked on a screenplay instead of dealing with my feelings.

But then I came to a conclusion (other than “screenwriting is difficult”) and it is this:

Fuck them.

I’m brave.

I have things to say.

And… I’m going to disable comments so that I don’t have to deal with lurking trolls…

SO, please, please, please email me (thanks to the lovely girls/women who already have!) at missbunnysunday@hotmail.com 

AND please, please, please tweet me (thanks to my followers!) @missbunnysunday 

I’ll answer your questions, I’ll give you advice about witchy stuff and I’ll probably mention Frida Kahlo…

And if you feel called, visit The Shop, Tumblr, Pinterest, Facebook and watch the Youtube videos I like…

¡Adiós Señoritas!

International Pagan Coming Out Day

May 2nd is International Pagan Coming Out Day.

If you’re in the broom closet, maybe today is the perfect time to show your beautiful, witchy self to the world.

Happy Beltane

Have a sexy, magical Beltane everybody!

Need some celebration ideas? This article has great tips.

Here’s a beautiful article on the meaning of Beltane.

Have fun witchy people!

 

Apologies

My posts have become infrequent due to a slight existential crisis which involves me writing a script that will remain nameless for reasons that are vague… I think everybody can relate to that.

If you’re going through an existential crisis of your own, I recommend reading Sylvia Plath quotes.

I could read Sylvia Plath until my skin turns to dust and my soul joins hers in the underworld.

That sentence was very Sylvia-esque.

But not nearly as good.

C’est la vie.

Are these a real thing? Because I want them. NOW.

These pics of gorgeous Christina Hendricks in honour of National Cleavage Day. Never mind cleavage, she’s has the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen *sigh of longing*

I guess people use these digital glitter hearts for online scrapbooking or something, but the concept of “digital glitter” is really funny to me:

Behold! Digital glitter!

I love hearing about people’s travel adventures and mishaps. This one about Costa Rica is fabulous and embodies everything I love about travel: weirdness, strange situations and wondering if you’ve accidentally ingested drugs. Reminds me of that time a Rastafarian put a huge wild snake around my neck in a Saint Lucian jungle… good times…

Want to be a writer? This is a pretty accurate guide… especially the dick jokes. There’s a lot of penis involved in writing.

FYI, Victorian-era artificial arms are pretty.

NYC in 1969!

Hippies! I need some striped pants.

Did you know Agatha Christie surfed? Yep. That happened. Proof.

An 1890′s surfer in Hawaii.

In conclusion, I’m addicted to Retronaut.

That is all.

 

Hawaii in the Movies

Can this just be my life please?

If you’re a regular around this blog, you know that my dream in life is to move to Hawaii. Alas, I’m stranded in the Canadian wilderness (and by wilderness I mean city) so I have to make due with celluloid sand and surf. Here are my favourite movies set in Hawaii in no particular order:

1. Blue Crush

Sanoe Lake (far right) was born in Kauai, which just hapens to be the island where I plan to live.

I saw Blue Crush when I was 13 and immediately hatched a plan to move to Hawaii after high school. My one regret in life is not doing exactly that. Personal history aside… Blue Crush is part of a rare and elusive movie genre: the feminist chick flick. Also, after watching Kate Bosworth’s stunt double surf giant waves, I like to ask everyone in sight (including cats) the ultimate question, “Do you think you can surf it for real?” DO YOU… DO YOU??? The movie is based on one of the best pieces of travel writing ever.

2. Lilo and Stitch

Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. I have a Stitch stuffed animal. He sits on my bookshelf and looks awesome. My cat has a crush on him. No big deal.

3. 50 First Dates

I know it’s a stupid Adam Sandler movie, but it’s a stupid Adam Sandler movie that makes me makes me cry. Every. Single. Time. She just can’t remember anything…  gah… I want to eat fried Spam at the Hukilau Cafe and make waffle cabins with Drew Barrymore. EVERY MORNING.

4. The Descendants

My favourite movie of all time. So. Damn. Good.

5. Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I saw this 5 times in the theatre (I was going through a bad breakup.) Forgetting Sarah Marshall is fucking funny. Mila Kunis is gorgeous. What more do you want?

6. Soul Surfer

Hercules on a surfboard!

This is a super cheesy biopic about Bethany Hamilton, a pro surfer who’s arm was severed in a shark attack when she was 14-ish. Ok… so real-life Bethany Hamilton is probably the toughest person alive, but this movie isn’t exactly good. HOWEVER, you get to see Helen Hunt, Dennis Quaid and Hercules himself in the roles of ridiculously tanned parental surf rats. Also… there are some seriously over-emphasized Christian undertones that I find campy and hilarious. And Carrie Underwood (who’s a terrible actor btw) plays a youth minister. What? I know. Come for the scenery, stay for the so-terribly-cheesy-it-circles-back-to-good moment when Bethany realizes God has a plan for her (spoiler alert: God likes it when people get their arms bitten off by sharks.)

Anyways, those are my recommendations for visiting Hawaii from the comfort of your futon. Or couch, if you’re one of those people.

Happy Ostara!!!

Today is the first day of spring and the Pagan sabbat Ostara! Sooo paint some eggs, eat some chocolate and pet a bunny, like the Goddess Eostre would want you to…

What’s Making Me Happy This Week

I want to live here...

This week, I live-tweeted Season 1 of Dawson’s Creek (Highlight: I’m just going to say what we’re all thinking. Pacey has a unibrow.) I also donated a little cash to the World Wildlife Fund because I’m ashamed to be in the same genetic category as Donald Trump and his evil poacher sons. They should have their human cards revoked.

Onward to happier things:

What’s Making Me Happy This Week

Bebe

Bebe Buell is one of my heros. She was the inspiration for Penny Lane in Almost Famous and she’s Liv Tyler’s mama. Here’s a great interview with her and Cameron Crowe. My favourite part:

It was the guys that made the fuss. They wanted to have the relationships. I would have been perfectly happy just loving the music.

This blog is really great. This quote is amazing.

By now, you know that I’m obsessed with Hawaiian culture. Here’s a little bit about Ho’oponopono:

Hoʻoponopono (ho-o-pono-pono) is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.

Also, I’m reading Scott Cunningham’s book on Hawaiian spirituality. Here’s a bit about Huna, a Hawaiian New Agey spiritual path,  if you’re interested.

A post about happiness.

A NY Times article from 1990 about the rising popularity of Frida Kahlo. It was written by Hayden Herrera, who wrote the definitive biography.

This is a very interesting post about defining your “brand.” I think it could also apply to defining what kind of person you want to be.

I enjoyed looking at this while Dawson’s Creek played in the background.

FINALLY someone got around to making a margarita scented room spray. It freaking took them long enough!

 

Manic Pixie Dream Girls and a Trip to Dawson’s Creek

Les Manic Pixie Dream Girls: Natalie Portman in Garden State; Ellen Page in Juno; Kirsten Dunst in Elizabeth Town; Kate Hudson in Almost Famous

Sometimes, I wonder if I’m becoming one of the stereotypes found in the many, many movies I consume. Take, for example, the Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

Sometimes I think, “Am I turning into a Manic Pixie Dream Girl?”

But then I think, “Nah, I’m too crazy to be a Manic Pixie Dream Girl.”

BUT THEN I think, “That’s exactly what a Manic Pixie Dream Girl would think.”

BUT THEN I think, “I’m all of the Manic Pixie and none of the Dream Girl.”

Which leads me to think, “That’s something a Self-Loathing Emo Girl would think.”

And the vicious cycle continues….

In unrelated news, I’ve decided to spend today live-tweeting the first season of Dawson’s Creek while I cross shit off my To Do list. That show was the soundtrack of my adolescence but I haven’t seen any of the episodes since they originally aired (starting in 1998.)

I was 11 at the time.

So… this should be interesting…

Follow me on Twitter @missbunnysunday and watch the hilarity unfold!

***UPDATE***

I told Fiancé that I hadn’t slept all night because I was preparing to live-tweet Dawson’s Creek.

The look in his eyes said, “I am imagining you dead.”

I don’t blame him.
