So my old high school play is currently having their cast party in my basement. They just performed Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass two nights in a row, and it was actually pretty damn boss, so they do deserve a good party. There's about 40 of them plus Sam (ASM), though hopefully the director Anisa will show up soon enough. And they're pretty damned loud. :P

All well, still better than my dream where Tim Curry was chasing me. I don't usually have celebrity dreams, so this is kind of strange for me, if amusing. Never cared much for the celebrity scene, though I've had a strange cast of celebrity appearances in dreamland, from Robin Williams to Jennifer Annistan to Vince Vaune. :P


Also, Muppets Bohemian Rhapsody is amazing and has been stuck in my head ever since Tom introduced Alex and I to it on Saturday. We were actually literally rofling on the bed at Monster, and then OLD TOM AND ANGEL-MARIE ahahahaha. It's sooooo good.


Anyway, last day of school until the weekend (OMFG WE'D BETTER GET THE HOUSE FEWGEHRTS) and then just two more days, then exams. Fwee. :P

So in recent news only one week of school left and OH GOD WHY AM I LEAVING FOR FLORIDA SO SOON FUCK I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE and I need to finish Christmas presents for my gang. It's proving less easy than expected, and for some reason I'm struggling more with Ben and Tom's gifts (aren't they supposed to be easier?), and am slowly running out of time for the custom things I'm making. And now that I think about it, I should make something for Evan and Laura, too.

It's so weird because we NEVER did Christmas gifts before with my old group (the one time we tried a Secret Santa I just ended up giving Eric his Chimchar plushie as a birthday gift XD). Probably had to do with us all being Jewish...but Alex is and Ben's half, so go fig. XD Tom's mom's also arranging a Christmas party we're invited to, because Jill is amazing. ;;

Custom gifts are fun, but difficult when time-consuming. I'd like to post them once completed, though. ^^ On that note, does anyone have any suggestions for a sturdy, cardboard-like material paper can be glued to?


EDIT: Oh hey, speaking of Christmas, the morning after I wrote this I looked out the window, saw all white, figured "great, another gray day" and it turns out it's snowing. It's about the fourth snowfall of th season, but the first time the snow's sticking around. D:

Also YAY MORE E-DRAMA NOT RELATED TO ME. And I wanted to go to bed at a decent time tonight, for once. >>

Crap, I'm using the Stephenie Meyer tag, that can't be good.

So. Similarly to myself, my sister, Becky, is a Twi-hater. Which isn't always easy to be, because sometimes you have to be careful not to offend the people around you who might be fans (especially since she's 16). Becky...really likes voicing her opinions.

So her friend, Michelle, has apparently become a big Twilight fan since I last saw her, while my sister and her other friend Noam are both quite anti-Twilight.


Thus, Michelle, for some reason unknown to us all, got Becky and Noam autographs from who, but Robert Pattinson himself.

It's an absolutely hideous picture of RPatz with "to Becky" and a siggy scribbled on it. He's dressed "casually," aka "look like a slob," but at least his hair isn't gigantic Edward Cullen hair.

imo, it's a little bit hilarious. I actually think Michelle kind of trolled them, haha. Apparently when she brought them the autographs in school, all the annoying teen Twitards rushed their lunch table and were fawning insanely over it.


Now, the question is... sell it on eBay, burn it with the rest of the series, or just let my sister keep this atrocity in her room?




On the brief note of e-drama...you don't realize how much more exciting it makes internet life until there's none for a long period of time, then LJ is suddenly hopping.

All I really have to say is Serebii VM system =/= private, if we're obsessing over you, and you're obsessing over us...oh wait, I forgot, you "don't care," so scratch that. And come on, guys - psychoanalysis can only go so far over the Internet.




( little bit o bloggin )



Oh, and I've consequently changed my SPPf avatar for the first time in...maybe three years? Yeah. Unfortunately, despite the fact that it was just an embrace, I actually got a lot of people complaining about how "ditry" the old one was. Even I've learned that not everything has to be sexual. It was a hug. It was a platonic hug. Did Mewtwo look like he was getting some kind of sexual thrill? Sillies. XP


All well, at least now if someone complains about my avatar being dirty, they'll be semi-right. DVDA scares me, too.

Music: Glad All Over (Dave Clark 5) - was on the radio and made me happy tags: family, movies, sppf, stephenie meyer

I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank you, Leonard Cohen, for finally giving me exactly what I've been missing all my life: a book containing a scene where a vibrator takes on a mind of its own, "learns to feed itself," and "attacks" the narrator's wife before jumping out the hotel room window and swimming off into the ocean.

Finally, now I know what I've been missing. Thank you for making me giggle crazily on the bus while my brain melted inside my skull. I am tempted to write of the vibrator's later adventures, now. <3

No, really, I was laughing on the bus as I read this scene, it was amazing. XD Incredibly creepy, but it was just...terrific.



Other things that are fun:

-This random one-shot I wrote: Mistakes for Breakfast! Not for any fandom, and it's just a single scene, but I do rather like it. It's kinda experimental, so criticism would be much appreciated.

-Psychoanalying fetishes! Seriously - once I figured the relation between penises and power, BOOM! This is what I do at 2 in the morning to help me fall asleep. :P

-NaNoing has taken a HUGE plummet! D: I'm at a coffee shop scene 9of which there will probably be many) and I think the characters are just bored and tired. I will admit that INFODUMPS ARE THE EFFING BEST FOR WORDCOUNT. Like I practically survive off them, they're so wonderful, especially since they can be used as an excuse to ramble.

-Periods are fun! Haha, no, they're actually fucking annoying. Two people who are incredibly close to me recently got freaked out because theirs were late - that's more than enough for a month. Also I'm taking my pills a day later so I should theoretically get my period 24 hours later, but instead it's closer to about 9/10 hours later. Balls - it was nice getting my period in the evening. :/

-Today I saw Jen and Ben on the way to school! Jen was on the 104, and when I got off to subway the rest of the way, Ben was on the platform (so I scared the bejeesers out of him XD). Made my day. ^^

-Sohmer and Lar of Least I Can Do/Looking for Group have the grand opening for their comic shop this weekend! Super stoked to make the long, long trek there with Alex and Tom. May or may not turn it into a shopping day - I'd really like to be at The 4th Wall for as long as possible for all the raffles n stuff, but their work scedules make that difficult. Gah. :/

-Turns out I've been putting off a lot of schoolwork and I totally forgot about the 1,250-word essay due for Jewish Canadian Writing on Thursday! I'm about halfway through it now, but I also have Brit Lit reading to do for tomorrow and some script also due Thursday. I may have to skip out on visiting Evan so I'll have more time Wednesday evening to finish my work, especially since I'm helping Alex with an interview she needs to film tomorrow.


I should stop blogging and finish my work, now. :P



-Thursday EDIT:

-You're breaking my back!
-You wanted to be the Superman who was never Clark Kent. You wanted to live at the front of the comic. You wanted to be the Ibis the Invincible who never lost his Ibstick. You wanted SOCK! POW! SLAM! UGG! OOF! YELP! written in the air between you and all the world. To become a New Man in the fifteen minutes a day meant absolutely nothing to you! Confess!
~F. from Beautiful Loses

He wanted miracles! He didn't want to have to make the climb through the ladder - he wanted to magically wake up with X-ray vision! A confession!


But that's what we all want, isn't it? We all want to get out on top without the effort. We want to take center stage without having to work for it. Instant gratification. A quick fix. Damn hard work! Damn fifteen minutes a day! I'll take pills for a month and lose ten pounds and never have to worry about eating healthy or excersizing again!

Someone save me from drowning in Leonard Cohen's mind!

The empty tracs can is the one that makes the most noise.

Have you ever noticed that? I remember my grade 11 English teacher told us that, and I've been seeing it more and more. When the can is full and you roll it down the street, it's not going to make as much noise as one that's completely empty, or just has a thing or two rolling around in it.

Consider people. Consider say, talented people.

Someone who is truly talented does not need to declare their talent to the world. They don't need to walk around telling people how amazing they are, or strut about like they're the hottest stuff. Because they know it already, and anyone who sees what they have done can see their level of skill. Anyone who sees it will agree that it's good. The creator doesn't need to boast; they are proud of their work, but modest, and have so reacher a sort of peace, a contentment. They are perfectly aware that it is not the best thing in all of creation, but they can take pride in it without having an inflated ego. They don't need to tell people "I am good," because anyone who sees it will know it. Their talent speaks for itself.

Sometimes then there are people who are less talented. There isn't as much in their garbage can - maybe they're even empty. The product of their skills is less impressive. Perhaps they doubt themselves. They may not be happy with what they have, with what they can do, and are not at peace. Insecurity is a difficult thing. Or perhaps in their own clouded judgement they think it's better than it is. What many then do is that they try to be loud. They want everyone to know they are happy, they want everyone to know they are talented. They NEED to say it, to make it true by declaring it, and to assure themselves that they really are happy, that they really are talented. Saying it makes them feel better about it.


I've noticed this a fair bit. People make declarations for attention, to make themselves more confident. There are people on SPPf who do it. There are published authors who have done it (I do believe Christopher Paolini, who refuses to listen to criticism, once made a wild declaration regarding his work compared to that of Tolkein), and recently I've noticed it with someone I know.

It works the same way with happiness or love or anything else as it does with talent. When someone is truly happy, do they need to declare it to the world? When you have ananda, inner bliss, do you really need to make such a racket about it? I can understand wanting to shout out your joy sometimes, but if it's done so frequently and so vehemently...are you trying to tell us you're happy, or are you just telling yourself?

Contacts are also working out pretty well. Not very good at getting them out, especially since my eyes are often dry by then. But I'm workin on it. :P

Feeling: blah Music: Beatles, TV on the Radio, really should get back Dirty Projectors from Alex tags: books, dreams, pokémon, writing

Somehow I'm actually staying mostly on-track for NaNoWriMo! *dances*

I was over 1000 words ahead the first couple of days, but I got really hurt by my damned Wednesday Brit Lit class, which finishes at 9:15. Plus, since I went to visit Evan after I only got home at 10:30, then I couldn't even get to writing immediately, so that really hurt me. But now at least I am where I should be in my word-count, which is totally amazing. I'm not sure if I'm exactly where I want to be in the story; I have seven characters I'm trying to introduce all at once, and so far it's going meh. (The fact that their personalities aren't completely defined in my mind doesn't help, either.) I think it's all right, all things considered, and number eight shouldn't show up for another thousand or so words, which should be about right, I think (considering that's when things will get interesting and dramatic, anyway).

If anyone else is participating, my NaNo page is here. Nobody I know aside from purple_drake and Knightblazer (all: who's that? o.o) seem to be writing this year, which is dissapointing. Was anyone else thinking of participating, but couldn't in the end?



In other news, why did nobody introduce me to Leonard Cohen sooner? We just watched the documentary Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen in my Canadian Jewish Writing class, and I was just enthralled. Very, very interesting man, and his poetry really is to die for.

I am, however, reading his second novel, Beautiful Loses, an experimental piece that I am not really enjoying. Strange as it sounds, something about his style is just...I can't even explain it, it's seeping into my brain and I need to get it out. Kinda scared me when I started writing, or rather vomiting this insane style. I really need to get it out of my system, and I'm only a hundred pages in. Don't get me wrong, though; a lot of it's really good, and I've found some lines I realled liked, but it's just painful figuring out what the story is, finding the important parts and just wading through what feels like nonsense. I think I see that the warts being cut off the narrator's hand in a flashback scene as a child is representative of the treatment of the Canadian First Nations people, but the scene of the narrator and his friend (known only as "F.") both masturbating in a car going 95 on their way to Ottawa? What significance am I supposed to see when F. and the narrator's wife stick their fingers in each others ears in the Telephone Dance, similar to Catherine Tekakwitha, the seventeenth-century Mohawk saint the three are so obsessed and fascinated by also did? It's fascinating, but at the same time I just want to make it go away.


Oh, and I still haven't been able to bear to read the endings of The Time-Traveler's Wife and Harry Potter 7, both of which were my main summer books. The latter I simply can't complete because I just...gah, I don't want the thing to end yet even though I already know the damned ending. And with the former...god, the book's just gotten so terrible and sad, and I knew I was reaching a point of no return during the parking lot incident, and now it's just worse and worse and I can't bear to hit the end. Ugh.

Oh, and Tom got the Maximum Ride graphic novel, which made me LMFAO. I read that series at the same time as my cousin five years my junior a couple years ago. I actually picked it up because it sounded like a terrible Team Rocket-and-Pokémorph story turned novel, with kids with wings which already screams "READ ME." Of course some characters were kinda Sue-ish and some of the wing mechanics made no fucking sense, but the writing was pretty good. And now Tom's gonna let me have a look at it in comic form when he's done reading (since he got a huuuge number of graphic novels, because this is what a non-literary person working at Chapters buys with their discount).



Speaking of iambic pantameter, we're skimming over some poetry mechanics in my Creative Process class. Apparently university students struggle to tell which syllable in stressed in everyday words, too. *headdesk* University students. That one girl might have been stoned, though...

But for some reason I have found I can set my brain so I speak in rhyming imabic quadrameter! Weird freaking stuff, but I can just pump it out on the spot, taking a maximum of ten seconds, as long as I know where I'm going with it. I did it accidentally while walking home one day, then in class when my teacher told us to take the last 20 minutes to write two lines of it. I wrote mine in about two minutes, then spent the rest of the time muttering in this rhyming form. Then I went and chilled with Ben before my Beatles class, and thankfully I was out of the mindframe while walking from one building to another to meet him. @.@

Also amusing is that my Brit Lit teacher had been telling us the week before that he had a friend who could speak in iambic panatmeter at will. My talent is hardly that developed, though. :P



In other news Dan please get the RPG Winter Ball/Office Party up already Halloween was a wee ago and I really want to RP as Madame Psychria of Psychicness of Human Resources/Secretary/Advertising/Professional Arse-Kicker/Professional Michael Scott Adorer already. (He doesn't actually read this blog. :P)

Speaking of which, did anyone catch The Office last night? It was wow. "I think Michael's gonna win WHY CAN'T YOU EVER TAKE MY SIDE FOR ONCE?" And why is it when my taste improves from Grey's Anatomy to The Office/30 Rock, the person who introduced me to The Office in the first place degenerates into watching Grey's (in the same time slot)?

Also still annoyed with myself that I can't watch Glee because oh em gee I'm in class when it's on *stabstabstab* I've seen the first two episodes, and I love it but just ARGH.

I'm done now. :P

So I decided at about 3:30 today while I was showering that I might as well do NaNoWriMo. I'd had no ideas for a novel and couldn't figure out a plan, when I realized "hey, wait. I have that script idea I've been wanting to do. And I don't want to write it as a script because it'snot script-writing month, so why don't I just write it in prose form? I churn out as much as I can, then when I DO write the script in 8000 years I'll at least have some kind of outline to base it off of?"

Right now I'm kind of doing a simpler version of said script story for a class assignment, only the eight characters are condensed into four, which means that the amount of drama is mind-boggling. I read my blocks out to the class and couldn't stop giggling. But my hopes remain high.

So I started my NaNo and worked on it for a solid few hours tonight. Got to 2,466 words in a day and continued writing (though it took over an hour to finally get through the bit where the characters make fun of Edward Cullen looking like he jizzed in his pants when he first meets Bella, plus I got Rickrolled in the process). So now I'm at 2,816, and I am very happy. For some reason my brain decided to set it in fall, which was probably a bad idea since I want to use the outside as much as possible, and cold weather and big coats make that difficult. All well, maybe there will be a magical/perverse warm spell. Because the entire story is perverse enough as is. Story of my life. <3



It's also official: Ben got the job at Disney World! I'm so proud of him! Knew he'd get it from the start - he's wanted this so badly for so long, and with his attitude, there was no way he wouldn't get it. He's going to be working at the Canadian pavillion at Epcot for the O Canada film, so if you're ever there as of mid February, look for him and say hi! XD


On another note, pretty sure I'm getting sick again. I was sneezing a lot and my nose has been kind of stuffy since the beginning of the weekend, and it doesn't seem to be getting much better. Doesn't help that Tim, Mikachu and Isaac were all under the weather at Evan's party, and Alex was breathing right into my face on Friday night when she was curled up on the couch. I'm so good at staying healthy. >.>


As for blogging, let's see...

Ben called Tuesday morning since he's been stressing about school and his Disney World interview on Saturday. I keep saying stupid things. Gave someone something which I think was appreciated but it's hard to tell I guess. We watched bits of some of the Beatles movies in class, now I really wanna see Help! and Hard Day's Night but NEVER EVER SEE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR oh god I'm so sorry Fab Four but it was a little fail. Was a bit distracted due to smells during that class. Oops. Also still have yet to listen to one of the mixes Tom made me and Ben's TV on the Radio and Dirty Projectors/Weezer CDs. Though when I tried to download the latter onto my previously-faithful iPod Mini I apparently exceeded the space on the poor thing and it kinda crashed. Right now, my iPod contains nothing but the Aladdin movie soundtrack. XD EDIT: Kallos fixed it, yay!

Alex is also way too nice and making me a mix CD ;; and we're gonna try to coordinate sexily for Halloween. Gonna go in to my old school to see a psychic, hypnotist and the costume contest three days in a row next week (and probably skip Canadian Jewish Writing for it lol). This weekend promises to be annoying cuz instead of having movie night at Amber's (Sam and I are talking! Ish! But barely and not yet hanging until tomorrow for a movie), Kevin's famous annual barn party or even using my house for a night, I am being forced to go to a stupid Bar Mitzvah of a cousin of a cousin. Best case scenario Ben and I can go to Nikki's party at a club for a few hours after my parents let me leave (if he's feeling up to it after his interview). Fucking Bar Mitzvahs three weeks in a row, around Halloween, of ALL the fucking times. Ugh.

But hey, I did get to see divinity_123 and watch British shows on the big-screen tv at my house (nothing beats seeing Old Greg's mangina so big), and I am reluctant to go to Amber's thing anyway (though it'd have meant being with Sam which woulda been nice :c) so blaaaah?

Still annoying. And I only have/mad two-mid-terms, yay! Went to Mike's with Esther yesterday before British Lierature - she's gonna be legal next week, and were it not the mid-term we may toss one back before class at some point lol - always wondered what that was like. I remember Kevin used to always go to our 8am Poetics class high and his poems were awesome so XD

Also been talking to Brax again lately, and gods I miss him sometimes. Always good to randomly have him back for a bit. ^^

My eyes feel super funny and it hurts a bit when I blink, but after 15 minutes I finally got em both in! This was my third try, after using the sample pair at the doctor's office some time ago and then putting them on again today to make sure they fit (I apparently almost scratched my cornea and a new pair with a better fit will be coming in later). They actually came in a couple weeks ago, but I've been a bit too busy(/lazy/nervous) to pick them up. But I got em, and they're in, and...yeah. I have to wear them for a couple hours today, then wear them an additional hour each day, then pick up my new pair ASAP when they come in (my doc doesn't like the fit of my current ones). This is really, really weird. XD

EDIT: Got em out in under 5 minutes, w00t! Big difference from at the doctor's office when it was an hour total. XD


Big congrats also go to both Tom and Alex, who have both secured jobs with books! I am positive that I will be getting a job at Blockbuster or something and thus making everything all wrong. Because the perverse cycle requires completion.


In other news, last weekend in Toronto was nice, and divinity_123 was there. ( moar (Toronto a book launch) )

Oh gawd, Zombieland was amazing.

Like I'm not a huge zombie freak, don't appreciate horror and no, was not interested in Adventureland, but this was just terrific. It had me rolling in my seat a LOT, and it had some very nice use of the surviving Zombieland tips. It had an incredibly win cameo (Alex was wearing the perfect shirt for it XD) and many great curtains! moments, one epic one for which we all cheered at the end ("I don't wanna hurt you, I just wanna fuck you!" "Daddy? DADDY?!").

Also apologies go to Ben for making him take the aisle seat because we were all surprisingly less vocal than I expected and now I feel bad. But hanging out the four of us was really, really fun. We all met up at Alex/Ben's school atrium (bumping into Amber), then went for McDonalds after out of hunger. Nom nom!



Last Wednesday when I was hanging out with Alex and Tom I think I noticed the first signs of fall. As were were walking to Subway I just started to notice, aside from the cold, the changing of the trees and everything, and now when I look at my feet the wet pavement is covered in yellowed leaves. *sigh* I miss the summer already.


Late-night essay-writing and procrastination ftw, but I hate The Broadview Anthology of British Literature (fuck your culture for writing so much, Alex :/). It might be a good replacement for knocking somebody unconscious, though - just a bitch to carry around. Also had a great conversation with Robert in The Creative Process today about our kids' shows from the 90's, including and especially Magic School Bus and Transformers. (ASTRO-TRAIN and Dinobots lol)


Super stoked for movie night with Alex, Ben and Tom Friday - heading out of town for a Bar Mitzvah that weekend, and since my family's leaving Friday I am instead being allowed to hitch a ride with my cousins, with the restriction that I am not allowed in my house after 2:30pm, which is wtf and annoying, but if I can be out till 1am, I'm good.

Also pretty stoked because I will probably be meeting divinity_123 on Sunday, which I'm pretty excited for. Never talked much with the guy but he's always seemed pretty chill, and if we can, then hey, why not? That'd be the third internet person I'll be meeting, after Tezza and Zerodius. Kind of weird since I was just talking with Chesh yesterday (and we rarely talk anymore) and telling him I had just been thinking the other day how it's funny that we've been planning to meet for the longest time and even had the opportunity once, but instead I've met three other people in his stead. Blah. And maybe hopefully I'll be spending a year studying in Australia so I can visit purple_drake or bobnbill or whoever the heck I can. @.@



The official meeting of Ben's family went really well (thanks to Div for the well-wishes XD). Chilled with Alex at my place until his dad picked me up, and the car-ride was nice and full of music-talk. I really like his brother, though will admit he was much smaller and younger-looking than I imagined for someone so in the wrestling/boxing/martial arts world, but naturally that meant nothing when it comes to what the guy can do. Dinner was very nice, and we then went to Dave's house for this really yummy, rich cake his dad made, presents, Madden and, most importantly, Paul Perez. We then went back to my place since it was still fairly early and got in the first three episodes of True Blood, and now we're both totally stoked to continue watching. In my basement.


PS: don't knock the Purell carrier if you've just eaten a greasy meal and want to use some. McDonalds = corpses.

EDIT: lol, Wednesday I was walking home from school, with Regina Spektor and Stuck It in the Wrong Whole having been in my head all day, when some guy on a bike rode past me singing the chorus of Come Together, and I joined him in it. Was pretty cool.

Dear self,
Please stop with the constantly fucking up one way or another. It's getting incredibly tiresome and is not helping you one bit. It is not making people happy.

work on it plz.

Music: Cry for a Shadow (The Beatles since it was on my test yesterday) tags: frustration

Just finished my third week of uni, and it hasn't been so bad. On Monday, the last possible day to drop courses, I was able to switch out of Spanish for a class on The Music of The Beatles, and I consequently have Fridays off - first three-day weekend in my school career, pretty sweet. The class sizes aren't as overwhelming as I had expected; Beatles is 90 in a big lecture room, Creative Process around 80, but it doesn't feel like it and I'm happy to say the teacher recognizes me (I'm known as the one who can project XD), British Literature maybe 60 with English and Jewish Canadian Literature about 30. The workload isn't too bad, I'm on top of most of my work save a few readings, and I've made a couple friends/am on speaking terms with a few of my classmates.

Things could be going better. But...what happens happens, and I can only do so much. *crosses fingers*

Music: Folding Chair (Regina Spektor) tags: celebrities, family, friends, music, school, sick

So yesterday Tom searched up clown porn and showed me the results.
Regarding clown rape, Unclyclopedia says "A "squirty flower" can be filled with mace so that the victim cannot recognise the clown in a police line-up." I lolled.


I'm pretty sure I'm coming down with something. Again. Started with my throat feeling shitty the other morning. Was fine most of the day, then felt bad again in the evening. Blech. I should be healthy enough for the Regina Spektor concert Thursday (so stoked :D), and I'm sort of praying that I'll magically be too sick to attend synagogue for the Jewish high holy days, but be able to either go to Michelle's slumber party or watch animé/British shows with Alex and Tom Saturday night.


Currently trying to switch out of my Spanish class Wednesday and Friday early afternoons for a class on The Beatles Thursday afternoons. The professor said to keep checking the system to see if any seats in the class open up, but to just keep attending until then. I'm currently doing something I probably shouldn't be doing in skipping Spanish right now - I should probably be on the bus heading to uni as we speak, but being stupid if so much more fun. Plus Wednesdays I have fucking British Literature Until the Sixteenth Century until fucking 9:15 at night (I'M MISSING GLEE ARGH ><) so the less amount of time I spend in school Wednesdays, the saner I'll be. I have no idea how I am going to get through this class. The Music of The Beatles kicks has been really fun, though. X3


Still spending a lot of time at my old college visiting mah peeps. Went to go pick up a Regina Spektor mix Ben made me, ended up chilling with Alex, playing Asshole with Kevin and Mich, getting close with Alex and Ben, stopping by Clubs, finding DIEGO!!!, chilling with Alex summore, buying a collar and cookies, finding like a zillion people we all knew in the atrium and getting ranted to by Jana with Amber and Lambert (great first impreession :x) who was all INVITE ME WHEN YOU CHIIIIIILL RAWR. Subway'd with Alex, Ben, Tal, Ryan and took the 103 with Alex, and just as I was about to joke about calling Tom since he's on the bus route, HIS MOM TURNS AROUND AND GFERGKREJDLMAO. So we talked with Jill on the bus ride, was pretty hilarious.




Attended a strip spelling bee on Thursday. Went to Ben's beforehand, chilled out and stuff. Went to grab a bite downtown, got distracted by visiting Evan and finding Wayne who I met at my orientation and her joining us for a bit, which was kinda weird. After much wandering we grabbed some quick oriental, then waited around at my university talking about threesoms until Geordie and Sam picked us up. Signed up, waited around in the lobby, Ben and Geordie went to get Ben a beer, Sam tried to coach me to use a tampon.

The bee was really really fun. One of my words was a bird butt-hole (PIDGEY), and I "lost" on excitable, which they totally did not teach me in grade five. It was really, really fun, chilled with Ben during the break, he approves of schoolgirls. Was much fun minus Sam not talking much and me screwing up afterwards.



( Something leaving me with a bitter taste in my mouth )


To end on a less depressing note and take a page from Typhlogirl's book, I welcome you to enjoy this lovely little snippet, courtesy of Evan and Ben.

"Daddy?

...DADDY?!"

"EEEEEEEEIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHH"

It's been their inside joke for a very long time, but I feel a compulsion to scar all your pretty little minds. C-c-c-coCAIIIINE. (Fuck you, Adam.)

Location: not on an excersize ball in Alex's basement Feeling: sore Music: Regina Spektor mix tags: friends, frustration, i should probably be killed for this, music, school, sick

Not too killer so far. Still fucking miss college, so I visit. A lot. It makes me feel better when I say "I'm here because of my bf" rather than "it's too depressing at uni because it feels like it's lacking the awesome community and all my friends are still in college" and still better than "it's just one subway stop away."


Monday, my last day of freedom, was spent with some of my most awesome new friends. Chilled at the park with Alex mid-day, took her to meet her friend in China Town and CAME ACROSS THE COSPLAYERS OMFG RANDOM AWESOME Team Rocket grunts were there and I hugged a Godot <333. Then went to Tom's, watched old-school Star Trek (TRIBBLES), his mom is awesome and gave me stew. I met up with Ben downtown and we chilled, drank Coke from glass bottles, then hung out under a tree in my neighbourhood since it was early and people were out, talking about stuff and stuff. Until I got angry phone call from the 'rents. Oops.


Tuesday was like woah. Started with Canadian Jewish Literature, because this is how I break away from my childhood of private Jewish school. Got out early, started my readings and met up with Rivky, and we just talked for an hour until our next classes (for me, The Creative Process). Chilled with Geordie, and as we were walking to the labs so he could print something, I hear someone call my name. I look around, and IT'S THIS TALL BLOND GUY. I FUCKING SCREAM "ALEX!" AND I KID YOU NOT WHEN I SAY I ACTUALLY RAN AT HIM AND TACKLEGLOMPED THE SHIT OUT OF HIM. EXCEPT INSTEAD OF BEING TACKLED HE JUST FUCKING WHIPPED ME AROUND IN THE AIR LIKE I WEIGHED FUCKING NOTHING. I CAN'T BELIEVE I FUCKING FORGOT THAT MALE!ALEX AND I NOW GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL, AND NOW I'M SHITTING BRICKS.

So I sat with him and his girlfriend of three years, kelly, in Tim Horton's, talking and catching up, and he was totally blown away by how much I'm changed (read: how perverted I am now versus when we met when I was 14 and sheltered and how we only see each other once a year now). Then of course I get a call from British!Alex telling me hey, yeah, it went well. Really well. Really well. And I'm like, dude, are you surprised? And we're talking about shit and male!Alex and especially Kelly are like O_O WTF who are you?



Went to check out the university clubs with Geordie Thursday, neither of us all that impressed with any (he soonr ealized that the Otaku clubspace is nothing like the one at our old school), though I did get some free Sorority Ro merchandise and found out about some neat filming opportunities. Chilled with Jana, Amber, Lambert and HOLY FUCK DIEGO!!! in the evening; I was supposed to meet up with Ben after my unofficial Beatles class, but it ended later than I'd thought and he really wanted to play Beatles Rock Band without me since it just came in, so he went home. Amber got random free tickets to see Sorority Row and was going to take Jana, with Lambert tagging along and trying to get in. We grabbed some McDonald's, I spilled Diet Coke in my bag and slightly ruined some papers (like course outlines). When we got to the theatre I was contemplating going with them despite hating and never having seen horror, so while I was on the phone with Ben figuring out if I should go to his place or see the movie, it turned out Amber forgot the tickets. So we went back to my old school to hang out where we found WHO BUT DIEGO, which made me shit bricks. He took us to the New School (8th floor) where he plays piano, and Jana and Amber got into a huge big discussion about combining their zombie movie ideas, of which I am losing faith ("I'll film it all with my handycam!" =/= not a CinCom student).


I'll blog more later. Basically uni is hilarious and weird. Trying to switch my Spanish class for a class about The Beatles (I shit you not). Oh, and there was a fire today in one of the buildings. The one Evan works at. And Evan gave me his Pokémon Hot Topic hoodie. I love it.


So I'm going over to Ben's tomorrow. Gonna rock that shit (despite only having played Guitar Hero). And then we're off to a strip spelling bee.

You heard.


I fucking love my life. <3

School starts up Tuesday, grah. Must enjoy my last days of summer - and the nice weather, finally!


Spent yesterday all "oh I'm totally going to the pool" so I didn't shower and at night "I'm totally going to shower" so I didn't wear everything. Chilled at Tom's, walked the dog, played Flash games, watched old cartoon theme songs with his mom, and was invited back for baking and awesome foods today. Last night went for Mom's birthday dinner with the Atlanta family (all girls) which was awkward with my aunt but actually went okay with the cousins (XD Becky taught us the game Idiot).

Thursday I had orientation (in the same room at my uni where Ben watched Troll 2! XD) and after some failed communication to meet up during Ben's three-hour break, went jean-shopping where Jusy works after the school, saw Tristan whom I haven't seen since high school there with her little sister. Afterwards the guys argued with some anti-Obama conspirators while I got a phone call from poor Laura in the next province, who is without phone, internet or friends (though she did meet Tamar who's also going there randomly in line XD). Visited Evan, got distracted in the stairwell, bussed home, got a call from Sam. Ben helped me rehearse a bit on the bus. Birthday cake for Mom, met Sam at Second Cup, and we talked about general stuff, made connections and chain-of-events links and stuff that really needed to be put out there.


And now I have been invited to Tom's place for cookies, BANANA CHOCOLATE-CHIP cake baking, and dinner, then it's off to Geordie's end-of-the-summer party. We will drown our sorrow in booze and drinking games. <3



EDIT: Went to Tom's, helped bake the cake. Ran around to grab some drinks for the party, lugged around a heavy Coke bottle since one SAAQ was closed, waited for a 104 to Geordie's, walked the rest of the way, last to arrive. Had fun, chilled out, the guys played old-school Super Mario World on the SNES, we tried to play the drinking game Waterfalls (I was in charge of directions from the laptop), Wallawallamoose was better. Kept bugging Kallos to take off his shirt, when he finally did I had to, too. Alex, Tom and Eric followed. Chilled with Alex and Tom on the seat, good times, watched some College Humour. Tom and I finally walked Alex home, him telling the Marie story as we walked and her telling him the things he needs to look for in a girlfriend (such as not being crazy), stuff arranged. Chatted the rest of the way, took awhile to finally part. He's a cool guy.

Buuuusyyyyyy.

I love how the weather just decides to perk up in August. It was all rain, and even now we still wake up some mornings with clouds in the sky and expect rain by midday, but it just clears up and is absolutely gorgeous. Still have only gone swimming three times, though. Should probably go biking now, especially since I have a prize to pick up, lulz.

Yesterday I waited in a three and a half-hour lineup to renew my bus pass (there is one fucking depot in the entire city for 180 THOUSAND students, talk about awesome). Then I finally went back to the dentist to get a permanant filling for the root canal I had some months ago. Then, instead of showering that night, I got a call from Laura, who is moving away on Saturday (FUCKING BOO ARGH) that she wanted to go see my boyfriend (sounds weird but makes sense), so I said I'd drive her over since she was too exhausted to bike and we couldn't actually reach him to find out wtf was going on. So I got to her house for her to tell that he's busy with Tim and Kevin working on their film IA (final project).

So we chilled at her house for a bit, found out that she kinda has um...reading powers I never knew about. Like she gets really strong vibes from things, can sort of see auras, is an amazing Tarot card reader (seriously, that blew my mind) and she can find/sense pain in people, and while she can make it go away she can only transfer it to other people, haha. She also showed me this strange crystal ball she's afraid to touch because of some really bad vibes it has, and she keeps it sort of sealed away and is scared of getting rid of it. It was hard to look away from. Then she showed me some of her drawings (auras o.o) and writing, and it was wow. Then we went to Evan's (her boyfriend), chilled at the park on the swings/masturbating a soccer ball for awhile, turned out we missed Ben at Evan's and we were all sorta running around for awhile, then we found each other and we all just chilled in Evan's basement till like 2. Ben and Laura's goodbye outside on his bike was sooo cute, and I just felt the history between them right there. Then Laura and I once again sat in my car and talked for an hour before she went in. I can't believe she's leaving only after we get so close! >>


Tuesday was a bit of a mess. Volunteered in Post Partem at the hospital and chilled at my mom's office for too long, eating lunch with Mom and my grandfather, talking/arranging with Laura and such. Found out I forgot my bus pass, grabbed her car and went home to get it (took long enough). Arrived at my old school not knowing who was there, and found who but Evan, also a graduate, sitting in the West Wing watching the raw film for his last Zeeblog of the season. Amazing stuff. XD Called Ben to ask if his movie was over, turned out he hadn't gone, so he came to chill with us for a bit (Kaifu, too). We walked him to class, Evan dragged me into the guys' bathroom to my cries of protest, and as Ben walked into class Evan and I shouted "nice ass, Benjamen!" which was totally epic. Evan and I walked to my university where he works, and I met up with Laura to head to Joy Toyz. Very nice walk, felt quick, love the city.

That night I went to the blood drive with my dad. Freaking two-hour wait, I was the last person in line (124), and for some reason I took freaking 14 minutes, so they freaked a little. We were in a raffle and I won a tote bag, and I am now going to bike over to pick it up. XD

EDIT: I was supposed to get it at the City Hall, not the community centre. Good job, self. :/

So plan for this weekend: sleep, see Ben, go to BBQ, chill with people, then finally go to the amusement park with Ben dragging me on all the fucking roller coasters because he wants to kill me.

Then on Monday schedule an appointment to look into contact lenses, yay!

A) Yes, Lance clearly trains Scyther, because, in his own words, "scyther is like an AWESOMEMANTISAUCELDOOM," which is clearly a dragon. BELIEVE IT.

B) Lance is also Edward Cullen, Batman, and apparently James. Then I realized on the bus back from my university orientation thingy that I came up with that name months ago and then I had another the-universe-is-talking-to-me-again-wtf brainfreeze moments. Seriously, wow.

C) Facebook is mega-lulz. Yes, you are James.

D) So just after Negrek's LJ entry and purple_drake and I were talking about making podfics (then I read her One-Shot aloud to myself and was like holy crap I must do this must get quality mic and program), Tom's all "yeah I kinda wanna make animé fandubs" and it's just lolyes. He went for an orientation thing for a job at a Mac store, and it went swimmingly, and 20 minutes later he got the call for an interview! I am sooo happy for him, he's been DYING without a thing to do over the past little while. I also had a dream, don't remember all of it, but I was with people in some big building, and as we were passing by some brightly-coloured conference room, Tom stepped out from the orientation after having done some team-work and his team did really well and he was happy with the result, so I was right (though not about the bit about the teams) and he had nothing to worry about! Also in that vein, going to watch the the dubbing of a Nivea commercial tomorrow, super stoked, been waiting for this for months! Huzzah for having connections. B]

E) Did volunteering this morning, and in the evening went to a Start Right thing for uni. While just sitting in the big lecture room for the first time in my life, even though not for an actual class, and actually had a minor freak-out. Like a panicy how-the-hell-are-you-going-to-survive-in-an-atmosphere-like-this realization. I fought it down fairly quickly, but it was not a fun realization. And since when has Tom ever functioned as any kind of emotional support? That was...wow.

F) Can't make it to Laura's going-away party due to camping trip. D: Really dissapointed, even though I freaking love the trip and am still stoked to go.

G) KOFFEEEEEENG.

H) KOFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENG.

G) No, really. Koffing. And James.

I) I played Guitar Hero at Tom's, and actually sucked less than I ever sucked before! Was actually fairly fun, and we just rocked with our Rings Pops out. We made me a custom character. Since he refused to use "Sugar Tits" as a name, he decided on Jessebelle. We don't really know why.

J) James. Jessebelle. KOFFEEEEEEENG.

Holy crap, wtf? Psychic actually wrote up a review? HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING AFTER LIKE TWO YEARS OF SILENCE?!

I think this gets its own entry just because it's that crazy. Took me very close to three hours, and I am damned content with it (if not happy). I need to brush up on my explaining skills a bit, but hey, it works. Or should work. I will be very dissapointed if I just-so-happened to have reviewed the one person who won't take advice, even from a mod. She looks like the decent sort, though, and I'd love to see her grow.


...no, seriously, I just wrote up an actual review. wtf.
