don't leave me tilda swinton

BIG SIGHS


Ummmm, also, if I were to adopt a kitten from the page of available cats I would for sure pick the one named "Merry Legs" based on name alone. For sure.

rainydays sunnytimes

I'm paralyzed by how much I'm enjoying my nails right now. It's hard to work.

The sky's going dark again. I was liking how it was raining and very sunny out. My neighbour and I were exchanging notes over facebook on the people scurrying by in the rain. Pretty funny.

These next few pictures are from last week or maybe the week before of Steamboat Sundays at Dakota.
IMG_1813
But don't worry, last night looked pretty much the same. I'm so happy that we have another awesome band taking over Sundays there now The Beauties aren't around. Makes for a pretty sweet danceparty.
IMG_1811
Also the gang also comes out for this band. Many bffs to party down with.

Accost was up to her usual tricks and the best was her swinging a sober Miss Lindeman around the dance floor. So awkward and awesome.

Was it a full moon last night? I feel like things got messier than expected?

Evidence:

Yep, definitely got cheersed way too hard by a somewhat (EXTREMELY) liquored-up Cpt. Heh.

IMG_1871

Woooooooooooooooo.

OH YEAH ALSO:
Captain Heh hit my pint in my hand MULTIPLE times and spilled beer all over. The last time was especially hard, splashing beer down my front, down my legs, even down the back of my neck!
Then outside Slippers was fighting Cpt. and he threw one of his slippers at Cpt., who ducked, and so it hit me! In the chest and the neck!
Everyone is getting good, hard, sober punches when I see them next.

Messy, messy.


Hey, kittens, thanks for making the tear in my screen ever so much more extreme!

No, I do miss your faces stupid brats. That little dumb one, especially.

Oh, yeah, that reminds me, Deck says in my videos how the shitty microphone gives me a lisp makes me sound like a retarded puppy.
Perfect.

no frills

All I want to listen to is Josephine Baker and Buddy Holly. And maybe Steamboat tonight at Dakota.
Maaaybe.


IMG_1838

Worked all weekend. Working Monday and Tuesday too! And maybe Wednesday! Working all the time!
Problems with the A/C at the dome makes for very hot and sticky shifts. I don't know how I am constantly surprised by the humidity around here, but I am.
Not a fan.
Ha.

IMG_1842

Oh yeah did I tell you guys I went to pick up my bike and the bike dude told me that my bike is "fucked" and he wouldn't fix it because it wasn't worth it. Sad emoticons, I'll tell you that much.
I can't afford a new bike!

IMG_1847

I need a holiday. K I am craving cottage/lake/beach/island like I CANNOT EVEN EXPLAIN TO YOU.
I want Redberry Lake and open highways and fields and shit. Fuck yes I do.

IMG_1851


Haha, awesome shirt, yeah? I'm not sold on it, it might be a bit extreme even for me. Especially since it's so childlike and absurd. Oh lordy, guys.

IMG_1854

I love when customers at work go on about how they used to be bartenders or servers and then they don't tip.
guess it was awhile ago.

6.26.2009

whoa it's friday already

It was real!
Pretty awesome, you have to admit.
I responded, he responded. That may or may not be all of I have to say on here since I'm still trying pretty hard to not

Being single is very weird. I would know, I do it a lot. Deciding where you owe something to someone, deciding not to be hung up on someone, deciding where to draw lines, when not expect anything, when to trust myself, etc etc.
It's a lot of negotiations.

IMG_1533

BMO Field last night. Made $14. Wow awesome. Working all weekend. Then Canada day then about two weeks with absolutely no shifts. Guess who's going to die on the streets?

Need another job. Ready to book another acting gig. READY NOW.

IMG_1550

Babe kegger tonight, I think. At least that's the plan...

IMG_1553

Not much I like more than babes and beer and party-all-the-time.

6.25.2009

where'd you get those eyes?

"who's that coming down the street, all dressed up like a Christmas tree?"
(from a Josephine Baker song - I can't find the lyrics online anywhere. But pretty absurd.)

FINALLY ONE OF MY VERY OWN!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY TO COME FOR YEARS AND YEARS.

"pretty redhead - Merideth? Who came to my bike shop with a flat tire - m4w (Kensington)


Aw, shit. It just occurred to me that anyone who reads this blog could have posted that message. Dammit.

Still awesome.

what what in the butt

I just went and took my broooken bike to Bikes on Wheels in Kensington and I told the babe there that I didn't want it to be broken anymore. And the babe told me it was extra broken and that I should take it to Red Arrow bikes in the alley by Exile because the dude could fix it there for cheaper. The babe also told me that he didn't want me to break my pretty face because of the broken wheel, and I agreed. I also do not want me to break my pretty face.
So I went to Red Arrow and the babe from Bikes on Wheels had called the other dude to let him know I was on my way! How awesome is that?

Ughhh. I may or may not have been wearing a pretty low-cut shirt. Ha, who'm I kidding? It's me! When do I ever have my cleavage covered properly?
But still. That's alright. I'm sure it had nothing to do with anything.

Whatever, still really nice babes.



One time I dropped my phone into a glass of whiskey at Dakota one time, but I'd forgotten how that happened until today.
See -- I wanted to keep the glass of whiskey safe while we went out for a cigarette so I decided that I should lay my phone across the top of it to keep it covered up!
Of course!
Keep the whiskey safe from bad people by laying a valuable and personal electronic over it!

I cannot believe that phone still works with all the shit I've put it through. I don't think I can ever get an iPhone (no matter how I lust after them) because I would have to not throw it on the ground and stuff.







It's too hot and I'm beeeeet beet red. My hands are really too sweaty to use the computer.

Remember when I didn't have air conditioning? I do, but I don't want to think about it.


I WANT TO GO TO THE LAKE PLEASE TAKE ME TO THE LAKE?



Dear New Boyfriend,
I hear you have a cottage and a car and are very good in the sack. I hear you like red-faced women with little decency. I hear you enjoy My So-Called Life and drinking in the park.
Let's meet up!

xo

Meredith R. Mistletoe





Tilda is licking my ankles. I think they taste salty.

Gross me out the door.




I feel like PARTYING again.
I want to go to Bellewoods after work with Kaya so you should come too and we will have a Partytown.
And I will be the Mayor.
Mayordith.

lay low

I think I've partied myself right down. I do not feel like socializing in any way.
It's a good feeling though. I feel like staying home and reading books and working on projects and stuff.

I'm working a lot this week. And not spending any money. Or at least that's the theory.
I have to get my bike tire fixed. I really need to ride my bike. It's annoying not having it. Depend on it so much.

(I almost stole these from my friend's going away party the other night. I bet Mum would like them for a birthday present.)

Another TV audition tomorrow -- I'm planning on doing much better at this one.
I asked my agent if it seemed to be picking up in the industry...
"not at all"

AWESOME.

Guess I just have to be the best all the time forever.

6.22.2009

that's how the light gets in

I'm glad that I put the air conditioner in the window this morning. I don't do well in the heat. I wish it wasn't such an eyesore though.

Rough morning already, that's alright, no worries. Wanted to sit down and have a cry on the kitchen floor instead of going to an audition, but I pulled through. Sort of. Choked at the audition, felt awkward, FUNTIMES! It's annoying when there are so few auditions around these days and then there's way too much pressure on every little chance.

IMG_7996

IMG_8001

I probably have some party-round-up for you somewhere, but not at this moment because I'm feeling ill and self-indulgent and I'm going to watch a movie and sulk around.
Not in a terrible mood though, all things considered.
I'm not thinking about anything because I'm too pessimistic to really work through what I need to do these days.

Tildabeast is still so pitiful after her operation yesterday. She's eating a bit at least. If she was skinny before she know looks absolutely hollow. I want her to be up and bothering me again soon.

So this site seems to be down for a bit every few days. I don't really know what to do about it and it's pretty annoying. Help?
