Hey, my name is Aisling (say it like “Ashleen”), but my friends call me Ling, Aisy or Ash! I’m a 22 year old extremely liberal girl living in the conservative heartland of Canada. I am a past Katimavik participant, a current New Media student, a future know-it-all and an aspiring xylophonist. I enjoy cupcakes, bright colours, loud music and smart, talented people who read this blog!

I will cuddle pretty much anything.

In Katimavik, there would often be boring times, between work and dinner, when not everyone was home, and those that were would gather in the living room or kitchen to chat about the day, read, or have a nap. This was especially true of our Orleans (Ottawa suburb) placement, since 4 of us finished our jobs as teacher’s aides around 3:30 with the rest of the group not returning home until past 5, and the sleepy nature of a commuter suburb. Never has a group of 10 young adults taken more trips to the library or become such book worms… simply because we were bored.

I’m well known for enjoying cuddles. They are my go-to comfort for pretty much everything. If someone is upset, I give them a cuddle, and part of me believes it will instantly heal all and the world will fill up with rainbows and yay! When I am sad, or sick, or breathing, I probably want a cuddle.

So, one of my room mates decided to conduct an experiment during a nap that I was having in the living room one sleepy Orleans afternoon. See, Gwobs was notorious in our group for having icky smelling feet. They were absolutely horrid. In fact, I have video evidence:

Haha, you can hear me say “Yeah the wet, dirty part has to go in your mouth.” :P

See? Gross.

So, I was just laying there, deep off in dream world (surprisingly, since I am an incredibly light sleeper, normally), and my roomies decided to see just exactly how far my love for cuddling things goes. So… they stuck Gwobs’ dirty socks in my arms.

Now, being within a few feet of his socks was normally pretty bad enough. But what I did was even worse. I cuddled the socks. And not just a holding cuddle, but an actual, all-out, clinging cuddle.

And of course, nobody woke me up until everyone got home to laugh at me.

Video Project: Not Enough Time

“Not Enough Time” is our final project for our project class this semester. Essentially, it started off as being a trailer for a film that had every genre we could think of in it. Eventually, we narrowed it down to a few genres. Mainly it is an action/adventure including the zombie that you may remember from last week.

A few things to note:

  • If you blink, you will miss me. This is what I look like. Watch my bit over and over to make it seem longer. :P In reality, I was doing quite a bit of filming, etc, and my character’s part is rather small.
  • There are lots of really little hidden things throughout the video, but my personal favourite is the HTML in our “equations.”
  • The movie title comes from a joke among our class, involving a classmate’s presentation of a project we’d had for several weeks, and their comment “I was going to put a picture there, but I didn’t have time.” This isn’t relevant to you, I just wanted to be able to remember why we called it that when I am an old lady looking back on this entry.

So, without further ado, the dreamling.ca world premiere of “Not Enough Time.”
