I'll keep this account open for a while I suppose, in case anyone gives a rat's ass and wants to look at my old work. I need copies of the images on here anyway, as my computer was reformatted and wiped clean. Assuming I ever get around to saving the images on my new computer, this account will be closed permanently.
If decide to return, it'll be under a new identity, of course. For a while, I've been trying to distance myself from my past counterpart, and I feel the need to re-invent myself. I just don't feel like Moxee, anymore.
And so, in closing, it's been a decent 2 or so years here, but it's time for me to move on, now. For those who watched me, I greatly appreciate it, even if you never actually commented on my work.
The best of luck to all of you wonderful, aspiring artists out there.
God bless you.
-Nina (aka Moxee)

Ghrist 13

80’s Artists Producing New Material
Duran Duran, Billy Idol, New Order…the 80’s are back with a vengeance! Like, totally outrageous!

Canadian Music
Between Canuck icons on tour and ass-kicking summer concerts, all I can say is: how aboot that, eh?

Star Wars on DVD
Embrace your inner geek! You secretly know you’d love to wield Luke’s lightsabre. Take that in any way you choose.

Candy Bar Spin-Offs
Hello peanut butter Kit Kat and white chocolate Reese cups!

A Real Christmas Tree
It’s just a great FU to the plastic ones that look like toilet brushes.

Asian Restaurants
Well, aren’t I cosmopolitan?

Sephora Comes to Canada
True bliss, I have found thee.

Knowing the Band
Yeah, see that nod of acknowledgement? That was directed at us, not you. Go sit with the other pathetic groupie-wannabes.

Indie Music Stores
Getting back at the man one small step at a time.

Chris Murphy’s Haircut
100% hot grease with only half the hair? I can dig that.

Cult/Indie Flicks
It’s like, screw you mainstream cinema!

Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica
The antics of the music industry’s favourite dumb blonde bombshell compiled into a half hour for our amusement.

Tim Hortons
Grammar error in the chain’s name aside, it kicked the crap out of Krispy Kreme, and continues to do so south of the border as well. Long live Timmy’s!


Shitty 7

Self-Proclaimed “Rock Chicks”
Dying your hair black does not make you hardcore when you carry around a Louis Vuitton bag. And just because you are shown holding a guitar on your album cover does not mean you actually know how to play it.

Self-Indulgent Hip-Hop
We’ve seen your yachts, your mansions, and your bling-bling. We know you make more money than the rest of us. Shut up.

Canadian Artists Being Incredibly Popular Outside Canada
Traitors. Leaving us alone to stomach that Aguilera-Britney-Simpson shit.

Increasingly Degrading Reality TV
Definitive proof that humanity is spiraling into shallow oblivion.

Mr. Wendy
Thank you. You made me hate Wendy’s.

Text Messaging
Heaven forbid you actually dial someone’s number and speak to them.

Maroon 5
Any person who’d sleep with Adam Levine is either blind, or has that nasty white milky film covering their eyes.

And that my friends, was the year that was 2004! Let's hope that 2005 rocks harder! Happy New Year! ]]> ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/4152088/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/4152088/ Sat, 25 Dec 2004 07:19:48 PST ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/4013841/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/4013841/ Tue, 07 Dec 2004 18:56:33 PST

Anywho, although today was a half-day at school, I stayed home because I had some weird (and VERY painful) stomach thing. Let me paint you a mental picture: ladies, picture the *WORST* pms cramps you've ever had...okay?...now, multiply it by 50. Yup. Now just add in frequent trips to the washroom. That was basically it. As for gentlemen...uhm...I wouldn't know...but you get the idea. Just thought everyone needed to know that, because I'm obnoxious, and way too open about my body.
As for the rest of my day, I relaxed, and jammed on some work. I felt well-rested, surprisingly enough. See, I decided to watch TV from 3 to 4am last night (And I caught a Sloan video shortly after 4am. Go me). I woke up at 3 to use the facilities, and couldn't get back to sleep, due to a creepy documentary on exorcisms on Sunday. And yeah...that's the low-down on my exciting day... ]]> ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3599617/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3599617/ Fri, 15 Oct 2004 21:10:44 PDT I so have an urge to buy Star Wars junk downtown tomorrow! WEEEEEEE!

YES! I'm out for the night. ]]> ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3589097/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3589097/ Thu, 14 Oct 2004 13:45:51 PDT Then in writer's craft, I read the sweetest comments on my story. I wish I knew who had written them, because I'd love to give those people hugs.
Then during lunch, I realized that today is Jay's birthday!
And then on the bus, I got an odd feeling in my gut, like I knew something was up. So I went home, and opened the back door out of curiosity. And as I did, I heard leaves rustling, followed by a quiet "meow...". I threw my bags down, and saw my cat hiding under the bush!
It may be a coincidence, but I believe that Jay's birthday had something to do with this. 'Cause Jay radiates happiness and goodness. So thanks Jay! I heart you even more, now! ]]> ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3567501/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3567501/ Mon, 11 Oct 2004 17:43:52 PDT

I can only hope that I grow and mature during the school year as much as I have during these two months. ]]> ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3231886/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3231886/ Mon, 06 Sep 2004 13:57:33 PDT nikouru and I attended our final Sloan concert for the summer last night at Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham.
The funny thing is, you expect wasps named Perry and Miffy to be there in pastel-coloured Lacoste golf shirts, right? We-ell, I was quite surprised to find that the night was nothing like that. In fact, it was quite the opposite, with faulty equipment, and loud drunks proving that you *CAN* in fact mosh to Sloan songs. Poor Nikki would have been crushed by the body-surfing drunken moron, had it not been for the guy next to her that kept him from falling on her. Call me old-fashioned, but I personally think that if you can't hold your liquor, don't drink. You'll only make an ass of yourself. And this leads me to my next pearl of wisdom: don't get Budweiser to sponsor an event that goes towards benefitting children.
We got there way before showtime (of course), and were lucky enough to catch Sloan practicing, until I decided we should find out where we should be in order to get our tickets torn, which never happened anyway.
Lowest of the Low (who are pretty cool) started off the night, followed by a special appearance by some of the members from The Tragically Hip, The Watchmen, and Our Lady Peace, who did some way-awesome covers. And then Sloan took the stage at about 10:30pm. From the looks on their faces, I knew that it wouldn't be wise to expect anything grand. All of them (especially Jay) looked bored out of their skulls, but at least Jay noticed Nikki and me, and smiled at us a few times. Maybe it was the beer, but they were having trouble remembering the lyrics to their songs. Even Patrick, who always makes such an effort to play his songs perfectly screwed "Losing California" up. As much as I adore the boys, I was pretty happy to leave that place. The crowd was getting really rowdy (especially when Chris jumped off the stage, and perched on an empty chair at the end of "If it Feels Good Do it"), and security was a complete joke. The drunken mosher called me and Nikki "hoochies" on his way out the driveway. I was sure to call him a dick as he passed, and call out,
"Right back at ya, buddy!" (once he was out of earshot of course...) We were also had the most clothes on, ironically enough.
So, as nice as it was to see Sloan once again, this show paled against the one in Buffalo, which I will always remember fondly. ]]> ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3202386/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3202386/ Tue, 24 Aug 2004 10:58:30 PDT ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3172873/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3172873/ Fri, 20 Aug 2004 13:13:25 PDT Apparently, trampoline (or is it trampolining?) has been an official Olympic sport since the Sydney games. The more you know, I guess.
And yay for Martin and Dumont in kicking Cuban volleyball ass like I knew they would.
I'm only a little upset that the Ukrainian trampoline girl didn't win either gold or bronze in the sport. She was quite good. Ah well, there's still the 10-m (I think?) diving, and I'm almost positive that the scary-looking Uky girl will win a medal.
So yay for my two teams, and good luck to all of the other atheletes...except the US team. What, they have like 97 medals or something? Nah, I jest. Good luck to the Americans, too. ]]> ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3135816/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/3135816/ Sun, 15 Aug 2004 22:40:17 PDT

My throat and ears are so sore. ~nikouru and I made a wee trip to Olympic Island today to sort of get the lay of the land, so to speak. Just so we'd know where to go on Saturday. She also befriended a gull she named Sheepie. Yup. Nik's got issues. Serious issues.
Prince is on MuchMoreMusic right now. He's so cute. How sad, really. He's more than ten years older than all of the members of Sloan, and he looks 20-something. Psht.
My sister was also unusually generous today. She made us lunch, and gave us sandwiches to take to the island, so we wouldn't waste money. She also asked me to draw her a cartoon to put up in her kitchen. Ugh. I dunno what the hell to draw. Maybe I can make an exception, and draw something realistic.

Ollie's Story was also only released on VHS, and there are currently no plans to release it on DVD. So technically, I was less likely to find it, not only because it was only released on that format, but because it's almost 30 years old.

And for those of you who don't know what's going on, I have embarked on a new quest: I am determined to buy a copy of Foxfire (1996 version) on DVD. I have gone to every HMV, Music World, and Sunrise I have access to. I even hit Sam the Record Man, and have had zero success. The film is out of print, which is why I can't find it. I haven't been able to download the full movie yet, but I think I may have to resort to buying it off Amazon. I WILL find it! Mark my words Nik, I'll have a copy before school starts! ]]> ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/2591920/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/2591920/ Sat, 05 Jun 2004 19:24:16 PDT I'm also saving up money for the Sloan concert in August.

And once they did, we darted straight for the stage, and didn't budge all night, unless we were taking turns saving the spot, while the other went out to the front to buy merch. I bought several packs of trading cards, Sloan's "Second Hand Views" video, "Gimme That" underwear, and a shirt, while Nikki bought a shirt, several packs of cards, and was lucky enough to get Jay's setlist. I took about 70 or so pictures, and managed to get pictures of me and Nik with Chris and Pat. Chris really is a sweetie. He stroked my shoulder, and was all warm and cuddly. Sadly, we weren't able to find Jay again, despite Pat's offer to help us find him. No one had seen him.
Yeah, and we were so close to them, that if we had been any closer, we would've been in their pants...which would not have been too bad. Speaking of pants, Chris had his fly safety-pinned (the fly broke during a previous show). It really was cute. Chris provided me with some great shots, as he posed, and hung over our heads, making goofy faces as he did so, and did about 8 jump kicks, 4 or 5 of which were done during "Penpals", and did a few cock struts. I got quite a few shots of Jay, few of which turned out good (dude, I have used the word "few" three times in two sentences), due to his odd positioning on the stage. He saw me snapping shots of him a few times, and smiled at me. He also laughed at me while I was belting out the words to "Money City Maniacs". As much as I wanted to gawk at his cuteness, I was afraid he'd be a little freaked out if I did so. So basically, each time he'd look my way, I'd look away. My throat kills right now, cause of all the yelling I did.
"PLAY UNDERWHEEEEELMED! 500 UP! ANYTHING FROM "SMEARED"!"
"JAAAAY! JAAAAAAAAAAAY!"
Oh gosh, I really was quite goofy. But a good kinda goofy. Believe me, people who know me would not believe me if I told them how crazy I went. SLOOOOOOO-AAAAAAAN! ]]> ~Moxee http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/2472458/ http://Moxee.deviantart.com/journal/2472458/ Thu, 20 May 2004 19:10:55 PDT , who left a rather uh...charming limerick in my locker about Jay...

There once was a boy named Jay
My God, he was awfully gay
He wanted a kiss
From his bandmate, Chris
But Chris doesn't swing that way

He isn't gay. Really.
Anywho, tootles all! I'll see you when I get back!

Someone I cared about very much hurt me last week. I thought he loved me, but I was wrong. He had been seeing another girl for two and a half months, and she dumped him about a week ago. He wrote me an e-mail explaining things a little more--why he had done it, etc., and at first, I was very relaxed about the whole thing. I forgave him, and tried to comfort him.
But tonight I thought, "why the fuck should I care after what he's done to me?". He told me he had never meant for it to go so far, and that he loves me, but during the course of their relationship, did he ever think about me? I'm not trying to sound selfish, but did he even care that he was cheating on someone who cared about him so very much? This wasn't a one-night stand. No. This had been going on for nearly THREE FUCKING MONTHS. And in the mean time, he had been going on as though nothing was happening. He continued to talk to me, and tell me how much I meant to him.
And then she dumps him, and he gets all emotional and sad. As much as I hate to admit it, I still care about him, but now I see that he has never given a shit about me. He took advantage of me from the beginning, and used me as a crutch until someone better came along. I trusted him, and this is what he did to me. I have very little trust in the opposite sex as it is---especially after what my father did to my family, but that's a whole other story---and now, because of him, I have even less, if that's at all possible.
I don't know if I will ever be able to trust again.

What was so funny was that about 5-10 minutes before we met him, I was saying, "Nikki, we'll probably walk right by one of the members of Sloan today, and not even recognize them." So we were on our way to "Rotate This", a record store where Jay is a frequent customer (yes, we have sources...). So we're walking, and I'm looking ahead, and to my left, I notice a skinny guy in a navy blue toque walk by. I think to myself,
"Wow, that guy looks a lot like...OHMYGODIT'SJAY!"
Now, I wasn't sure whether I should just leave it at that, and tell people I saw him, or scream, or run after him. So I squeal a little, and I start shaking, and I bite my lip to keep myself from screaming. Nikki grabs me and asks what's wrong with me, so I motion her to come with me into a nook. She asked whether I was having a seizure, and when I assured her I wasn't, I said,
"Nikki...you will never guess who I just saw..."
She asked, with wide eyes, who I saw.
"I just saw Jay walk past us."
Her eyes widened even more, and she asked which way he went. I showed her where, and she grabbed me by the arm, and we tore down Queen Street, hoping we didn't lose him. I panicked because I couldn't see him, but spotted his toque as he was crossing the street. He moves fast for a little guy. He also has a really cute little walk we've named "The Jay Walk". Get it?...Yes, well, anywho, right before we cross, Nikki's asking where he is. I point to the blue-toqued guy, yet she was skeptical. I says to her, I says,
"If that isn't Jay, it's his identical twin..."
We saw him stand in front of a door for a moment, and then he walked into the Galaxie Studio. I was sure we'd be waiting hours for him to come out. Oh well, we almost met him...
We waited in front of the studio for a few minutes, and Nikki said she saw someone in a blue toque. We pretended we were waiting for someone, and as we saw him come out, we didn't say a word, but I made a motion with my eyes as if to say, "Let's hit it."
Nikki once again, grabbed my arm, and we ran after him. I however, was hissing about how uncool it was to run after him, and that we should casually walk up to him. But we were right behind him, so...Nikki asks,
"Excuse me?"
He turns around.
"Are you Jay Ferguson of Sloan?"
"Yes," he says.
We smiled, and Nikki asks if he could sign something for us. He says,
"Of course, no problem."
Nikki took out her big black Sharpie, and two of her Sloan lyric booklets from the albums Action Pact, and Navy Blues (she had the others, too). Jay looked quite surprised, and said,
"Whoa, you're prepared aren't you?"
We told him that we were huge fans, and he was really sweet about signing the stuff. I was tongue-tied. I just couldn't believe I was standing right in front of my favourite member of my favourite group. Nikki also said,
"Nina here is your biggest fan!"
I could feel my face turning red, and he said,
"Right on!" or something like that.
So we talked to him for a few minutes, and went our separate ways. After we made sure he was out of sight, we hugged each other, and screamed like the pathetic fangirls we are, and phoned everyone we knew. All in all, a VERY eventful day.

Go me. My computer is still down, so no art updates for a while, still. Happy almost-500 pageviews to me.
