me + jtt = happiness forever

So.
I'm the weirdest. And I constantly run potential matches compatibilites with me via astrology.com. Because I'm nutso.

Now, I have never, ever, ever, not once, had a positive "couples reading". Some were vaguely passable, some surprisingly close to what actually ended up happening.
Whatever. I don't believe in any of this junk (or at least I like to think I don't).

But check out my sample couples reading with Jonathan Taylor Thomas

Sun Conjunct Venus

This aspect signifies that you just plainly love each other. The attraction is so strong between you that even though you may be incompatible by other standards, you still feel like being with your partner because of that love you feel for them. It's not that they won't occasionally drive you nuts - they will. It's just that the bottom line is that there is real love between you and there is no stronger emotion in the universe.

By being together you can create beauty and form as well as appreciate art and music. Your home can easily be filled with "treasures" that reflect the talents you have. But as always with Venus, be careful of overindulging in the good things of life so they do not become a noose around your neck instead of an object of desire. Remember, the more things you have, the more trouble you are likely to have. You will not mind showing off what you have accrued together, but vanity can become an undesired side effect of this aspect if it is not kept in check.

Avoid hiding any difficulties in your relationship and bring them out in the open so they can be resolved or at least recognized in order to avoid major problems down the road. You may also be drawn to speculative ventures with this aspect, so just remember to be practical in your expenditures.

With this configuration, no matter what difficulties come along to challenge you, you will always feel a need and desire to make peace, reconcile and create harmony and cooperation in your relationship. This aspect offers a great stability that will keep you from turning against each other, unless the obstacles become totally overwhelming.

A great deal of time and effort can be put into social activities and if you are involved in creative ventures together, then this aspect adds support and form to your ideas.

Sun Sextile Mars

As a couple, you will be active, energetic, courageous and able to accomplish a great deal. You will find that just being in each other's company energizes you and inspires you to try and excel even more. Sports, physical activities and outdoor pursuits will be your strengths and you will find that you do very well in them.

You naturally inspire each other and become each other's confidence-builder, gently pushing the other to be more assertive. Not only do you support each other, but you take pride in each other's work, accomplishments and achievements.

Because this is such an energetic configuration, the sexual side of your relationship may tend to rejuvenate you over and over again. This an excellent aspect for business and personal partnerships. As a couple, you seem to know the right course or path in life to take together and don't mind taking it. Any emergency situations that arise will be handled efficiently and with level-headed assurance, thus helping you stabilize each other and giving you tremendous strength.

Hahahahaha.
Awesome.

Too many people I want to see tonight!

Oh wait. Actually I decided already. Just now. But it's none of those.

I'm hungry.

You know what?
I'm pretty overly-critical of everyone and everything. And I can be mean. And I definitely say it when I don't like something.
But.
I think that I appreciate actual good humour a lot more than most people.
I will laugh at a good joke for years.
And repeat other people's jokes/stories (with due credit) for weeks.

I keep meaning to email one of my highschool friends to tell her about which jokes of hers I'm still enjoying.

I've been training new people at the chill and this poor guy is around every time I tell my same story to new people. I must seem like the boringest person around. Just repeat repeat repeat.
He says he's going to start his own blog: secondhandmeredith.com
His friend has a crush on one of my friends and he told me that she likes this duder because he likes both comic books and video games. It's very, very hard to find a boy who likes those things. You know what else this duder likes? Movies! And he reads books! And he breathes - in and out and then in and out again!

By fluke/luck I have nothing that I have to do today.
So I've wasted all my life on the internet.
But also not wasted, really.
Working away.
Because I'm productive.




I bought this cow in Saskatoon, for the chill. There are over one hundred cows at the big chill.


This is my favourite cow. Because it's the ugliest. Whoever made this cow is nutso. Too bad you can't see that she's wearing pink stilettos over lime-green socks. WTF?


Looks like her face is messed up somehow.

Today I am not living in Awesometown and I'm a little bit nervous about all that money. Too bad for me!

famousnesses

http://www.centrefordiversity.ca/psa.html

I'm an immigrant. When I'm looking to belong.

Well, now I've done it...

Today I went to Awesometown. In Awesometown you get to buy things and not feel guilty about them! Yayayaayay Awesometown!

OMG
OMG
OMG
OMG

So excited.


OMG


I got two (!) new pairs of glasses (the first in years and years) aaand new contacts!
I still have the same prescription, which is rad, I can just keep buying more and more glasses and keeping the old ones still.

brown ones!


clear ones! (haha they're sort of like those ones I got from VV except passably fashionable)

I got to pick out a free pair of sunglasses with my contact lens purchase. There was a whole wall of the ugliest sunglasses I've ever seen in my natural born life, none that were even remotely legitimately "nice". So I picked the raddest of the bad.

Yeah huh.

Here is a hint at what else I bought today :


(view from Sass's office building)

(magnolia trees surprise themselves with the full blooms)

(I am part ghost)



OMG.
Digital SLR Dreamboat new son of mine, light of my life, tiny robotic love machine

I have never been this excited over an electronic thing before. Not even my computer.. not that I don't love my comp because I surely do.. but.. this beast is so beyond rad.

Got such a good deal on him too. And the camera guy was beyond helpful.
Anyhow.
Canon Rebel XTi
50 mm lens
I'm going to get a kit lens when they get a used one in, I bought this lens new but it wasn't thaaat much and I like the size of it, it's comparable to the lens I generally shoot with on my film SLR.

Yikes.

I'll be at the Big Chill tonight, come by so I can take your picture pls thnx.

So ridiculously happy.

ridic

It becomes more and more apparent that I am 100% nutso.

Yay that fester turned out to irritate me over all (as festers often do) and so hopefully I can just remember how little tolerance I actually have for said fester and how very few things I actually agree with him about.

"I don't even know why I'm having this conversation, I knew just exactly how you'd react, I should've just had this conversation with myself at home. Alone."

I have ego issues.
I have issues with rationality.

And I took a huge perverse pleasure in taking out the garbage (loudly) at 4 in the morning last night. I'm that kind of lady. Especially since my (whiney, guilty-trippy, yelling-fights-with-his-dumb-gf) downstairs neighbour is already mad at the middle-floor girls. So he will assume that it was them! Haahaha!
And they're always making too much noise, so they deserve it!

Goddammit I'm such a humanitarian.

I need a Will Arnett to my Amy Poeler. Just saying.
(Why Meredith, you are going to need to get funnier..)
I want to have some babies. Funny babies.

don't like those festers

Missed a blog day but that's alright since I worked at ACC from 11a.m. until I went to the Big Chill, where I worked until midnight. So it's completely excusable.

It was an okay day though. Didn't feel as long as it sounds (luckily).

Ew. I totally have only had a latte and an ice cream so far today and goddammit is my belly not excited about that.
yucks

I'm going to the camera store. Just to look. Right?
Guess who got a check in the mails today!!!

I'm still 100% completely broke, but.. you know... I feel less broke. So it's fine. Or something.

I have an eye appointment tomorrow!

Wow. I'm so responsible. Eyes, teeth, what's next?? Maybe a real doctor's appointment. Maybe in Saskatoon? We'll see.

This blog would really benefit from me owning a DSLR though. Just sayin just saying oh god...

So. I need a new bed. Who's going to get my new bed to my house though?

I spoke to my landlord today about the mice. He suggested..... traps
huh. because I don't obviously have two kinds of traps plus poison out right now and yet I still did a sort of misguided hokey-pokey dance with Hunca Munca in the bathroom upon getting home the other night.
Most often used phrase in this room:
"DUDE! I CAN SEE YOU!"
Hunca Munca and Tom Thumb 100% do not care.
They, in fact, attended Don't Care High, where they honed their Don't Care Skillz

Hates them!!!

My sweetest sugar momma is back from the city des anges today! Dakota-mimosa-drinking-brunch-boy-hunting-party soon soon sooon. Yeeah.

It's funny how when I get focussed on one particular babe (for however a brief period) I can totes turn off my (finely tuned) scope-eye.. but then when I'm fully single it's comes back like no one's busyness.
So many babes of all kinds out and about because it's springtime.
Sigh.

I had a moment of jealousy yesterday that made my stomach leap into my throat and my heart drop. I'm pretty sure I didn't let on too badly and made jokes instead.
But holy I almost barfed.
And I didn't expect that bit of jealousy.
Or at least I didn't expect that kicked-in-the-belly feeling.

I think I'm going to have to take action (sexy action. wait. nope) to resolve this business. Because it's been festering for beyond evers.
And I'm not down with the festers.

Hey guess how you get an audition!
Book an appointment for a specific time. Guaranteed within 15 minutes you'll get a call for an audition for that exact time.
Success!
Changed the appointment time.
Maybe I'll get two auditions!!!!

hopefully tonight is less dramatic.. or at least more humorous

I'm tired!

The worst is when the cops break up a house party, your friend who invited you is AWOL, there's no good food in the vicinity, the transit system is on strike... aaaaand there's no more parties to go to. Looks like one should get out on the town before midnight, so that when 2 rolls around, home actually seems appetizing.

All things considered, I kind of had fun yesterday. I think going to house parties where I don't know anyone is kind of funny. Boys are ridiculous, though. Holy. One of the dudes that were trying to hit on Sass and I actually, technically, physically, ruffled my hair!
Holy irritating.
And another was getting up in my grill so, so badly when I wouldn't repeat my name a hundred times for him. Goddamn charming.

Don't have time for diary writing at all.
Have to get to the partying all the time some more. That's how I roll.

Oh yeah.
And there's a possibility I might be performing in an improvised comedy show tonight. AAAIIII.

Nervous.

wet 'n' wild!!!

I wish I weren't working all day tomorrow and instead going to Wonderland with some girls. That'd be the life.

Opening the ice cream store tomorrow!
Yesterday I ate a lot. Omg, pistachio, how glad I am to have you back in my life.

NBFF and I trained as a team at the parlour last night. Pretty funny. There are so many problems with that place and how it's run, etc. But I have no idea on how to fix it. Sigh.
We had dinner afterwards and sort of tried to think of ways to make it better. No avail. But dinner was still nice, so whatevers.

I've had this navy blue nail-polish since high school at least (possibly elementary?) and it's still good. Wet 'n' Wild is my second product endorsement of today.

Too many instant messaging programs in my life right now. Every way I turn someone is talking to me. It's hard to get off the internet.
Facebook chat is the creepiest of all creepiness. No but seriously.
a) people don't even have to want to chat for it to show them in my chat box
b) it gives me updates about them whilst chatting "Fiona is now friends with Alister Smith" "Fiona's dad died", etc.
c) I can spy on people being online way, way too easily and it makes me want to contact people just because I can, not because I have anything interesting to say.

I'm so going to get my teeth cleaned. For the first time in an embarrassing amount of years. By a dental student, so it's a whole lot cheaper. Yay! I was having a mini-panick about my ivories a couple of weeks ago. But even the visit yesterday set me at ease a bit. So glad my mouth isn't falling apart.
I'm planning to get my laterals filled in and my teeth bleached at some point.
Teeth are important.

Stopped by Whippersnapper gallery on my way home from dinner because it's so close to home and because some peeps were there. Ended up seeing the dude from the Ice Breakers commercial. I really feel like I know him. Mostly because I see him on TV with me a lot. And also because he reminds me of one of my BFFs. It was nice to see him and I had lots to say and so did he and I kind of want him to become my real-time friend. Well, I facebooked him, so we'll see, won't we?
Everyone knows that Facebook translates to real-time (no it does not).

Got dragged along to The Beaconsfield after. I have such a hard time saying no to party-all-the-time. Even when I'm just tired. One of my friends was bartending, aw he's so little and cute and when I tell people that we're both from Saskatoon they say "Do they only grow them small and red-headed there?"
Ran into one of commercial-friend's roommates there, coincidentally, he was very funny and shittered. And I talked to a guy who had a cock on his shirt. The animal variety, unfortunately.
Why is Beaconsfield a hipster hang out? It's not the best, as far as I can tell..
That's how you know I'm not a true hipster.

Today I am, once again, not getting anything done. Congratulations to me on that one.

Apparently I will be performing in the Late Late Horror Show tomorrow night, for the first time. Yike. No one is coming. Obviously.
I do not know what I am doing tonight. Probably partying I guess (Napoleon accent implied in that sentence).

Product placement

Glad ForceFlex garbage bags
never in my life did I expect to be won over by a certain type of garbage bag, but these ones are pretty great. Not necessary for every day use, but if you need a tough, rip-free, monster bag, these are the ones for you. Pricier for sure, and I spent a long time deliberating in my local Home Hardware (where all the cute old Italian owners gather around and try and make me go get them coffee and the like), but in the end - best purchase I've made this week. For sure.
They're so strong! And giant! And you can carry them for blocks filled with all the laundry you've ever had and they don't tear!
I want to get sponsed by ForceFlex.

pho hung (ahehe)

Ding dong merrily on high!

The world is looking even better today.
We'll see how long this feeling lasts. Probably until I turn my head and survey how much still needs to be done around here.

I keep forgetting to drink water. Or to consume liquids in general.

Had dinner with my old long-time bff who has been somewhat absent from my life for the past whiles.
If you know me, then you know that I definitely go through phases with friends. Especially phases where I need a break. That's a bad trait I have. I'm not a particularly good friend (it becomes more and more clear), even though I'd like to make it a top priority.
(it's hard to type whilst holding a spoonful of peanut butter... no I did not get groceries, I am an idiot)
It's been really, really nice spending time with her again though. Long-term friendships are the best for communication. There is so much that's just inherent, that doesn't need to be explained.
Also, we are both really, really funny.
Such good noodles, vermicelli with spring rolls on them but it was a perfect meal because I didn't feel barfy-full afterwards (a rarity because I have eating issues.. mainly not being able to stop).

I got this sweet drink where I got a mug of coffee (being steeped through at my table) and then I poured it over ice and there was condensed milk at the bottom.. very good and pretty to see


After dinner we went and wandered around chinatown/Kensington but I did a good job and didn't buy much. Only things I actually needed.
Everything reminded us of JPR:
(he's the king)

And we laughed.

This kid was having fun


It got cold and I went home to do some work. But I didn't actually get around to doing any.
Because I'm awful.
And I got called to go park-drinking. And you can't say no to your first park-drink of the season. Noway.

I'm trying to cover up every part of my body these days on account of my body is a disaster.

scarves are good for that sort of thing.
I am my mother's daughter.
Not to state the obvious or anything.

Dear Apartment,

please get clean,
love,
Meredith


I do really love my apartment. It is one of my favourite things about my life at this point. So it makes sense that when it is in ruins, I am less than happy about life.

Holy internet time wasting today!
I've been sitting at this machine since about 10 a.m. It's like I have an office job. Except I watch more movies.

So. I tried to watch The Golden Compass.
Now, I had been warned that it was quite bad but
HOLY HELL
WHAT THE FUCK?
who was in charge of making this ridiculous piece of nonsense? Way to ruin my favourite book, douchebags (I was going to say Jerkwads but mum doesn't like it when I use that term).
How can so many people be involved in making a movie and not do something about how shitty it is? Kind of mind-blowing.
I didn't even make it through the first hour, but I'll probably go back and finish it off. Then feel like I could do some sort of constructive review of it. For now I'm just in awe of it.
Bad awe.

I'm still excited to see Prince Caspian when it comes out though.

Noodles for dinner! I'm going to buy some groceries because I'm totally lacking the basics and I've spent way too much of today eating fried tofu and spoonfuls of peanut butter.

Starting the count-down of days til I go home! Beyond excited to see some of those peeps. And glad glad that I'll be there for some of my friends' bands. Most notably today; Pearson..
Go listen to Purity of Heart it is so dreamy.
Srsly.

the same old ups and downs

That's right.
And I'm going to go do that until I have to have a big chill meeting. Where I'm the boss of things and stuff.
I secretly like being the boss of things.
Obviously.

Brunch time today but I didn't go to Aunties! What? I know.
Shanghai Cowgirl and the potatoes were delicious and the omelette was pretty good. I do like swiss..(but seriously, how does Aunties do it?) The the company was alright..





If you want to see that guy sing a song, I recommend watching this:



Because it's pretty great.

Hunca Munca has made me paranoid

The flax bread that I bought has flax seeds which fall off a lot and get into the peanut butter and onto the counter and that would be fine, except
flax seeds look so much like mouse turds.

"if it were always three a.m. and you were always drinking"

I slept for 12 hours last night.
Such a fun party time. The best party time I've had.
Interrupted only by loud cars and by a weird phone call in the night.

Babes are such idiots sometimes.
Have-their-cake-and-eat-it-too.
Good thing I didn't answer the phone

From Sass on our MSN conversation this morning about said babe not wanting a "relationship" with me (last year):
"i mean you HAVE to be a loser not to want to wake up to you in the morning and brag to your friends that "yo dis be mah boo""

ahahahah gross. if anyone ever used the term "boo" i would barf onto my own face, eat it back up, then barf it out on to their face.
But yes.
I believe at one point this conversation happened:
"I only want to be with someone who is proud to be with me"
"I was always, always proud to be with you"
"Only on your terms"

I have no patience for that.

OMG
so going to be late for work.
But who even cares because it's a Jays day game and I just might be selling freakin cotton candy. Whoa annoying.

super fun party time all the time

my life is not that bad, my life is fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine


Quick cleaning break. Just like that long cleaning break that I took all morning/afternoon.

But but but

things are looking up??

fingers crossed.

I can see a light at the end of the tunnel,
true it might just be the light
of an on-coming train.
But still.

Just need to get it decent to sleep here. If I can safely, comfortably sleep here, then my life will be back on track.
Yayayayaya

Generally I like to sleep 9 to 11 hours a night.
In the past two weeks I have been averaging about 6. Not enough at all. I need a good catch-up night. But that won't be today.

The sun is out and I had a coffee and a cranberry-apple vegan muffin in Kensington today and babe-watched and stretched out my legs and pretended I was relaxed instead of just waiting for a prescription.
I called in sick to work today because I needed to.
It only made sense.

Now I am working working working. Or pretending to. Something like that. Right-o.

#100 (good work team me)

ai hi yi

too nice out to be at the computer right now. But too bad for me. Have to go to work, which seems unfair since I would rather patio all the time. That's the new motto for summer. Patio All The Time!

Some minutes this seems like the most exciting time of my life and then everything is just too over-whelming.
I am working beyond too much. The Big Chill stuff is taking over. All the work like quick phone calls/emails I have to get done, it just eats away at my time. That plus having two actual other jobs... whoa.
I'll be beyond excited to get away for a week to go home. For realz.
I kind of want to look into extending my trip a tiny bit.. there's no Jays games for awhile there, and that's my only real commitment.
Though now with a new boss... who the fuck knows? So freaking crazy.
The scheduling for the dome before has always been done through sucking up and brown-nosing. Through whining to get what one wants, through offering our boss gifts, etc. (I don't even think I'm exaggerating here..).
Never through actual proper scheduling procedures. I wonder if I'll still be able to work every game. I've never been good at sucking up. I get good shifts there because I work hard, am always on time, and am always available. I don't complain, and I get my shit done.

I told the boss at Octapus last night that it was my birthday and where was my birthday party. He gave us all birthday shots.. even though he knew it wasn't realllly my birthday. Pretty rad.
I didn't stay and get drunk though. Too tired for that noise. Just went by to check in with The Girls. I call that particular group The Girls, which is funny because they are the most womanly that I know..

I had a pretty decent night's sleep last night. For the first time in too long. That is part of my problem lately.. it leads to extreme irritability. I'm planning for more hours of the same tonight. If I'm lucky. Which I must be.
Please

you are part elephant

"I want to get a trunk to store things in. Way classier than a box."

"You don't hear the word 'trunk' that often. Except when I take off my pants."

next please

Totes got asked for my autograph today. Ahahahahaha.

dude: "Do you guys have a pen and paper?"
(co-worker fetches it for him)
co-worker: "I need that pen back"
dude (to me):"Can you sign this?"
me: No! What? Why?
dude: I know you! You're the cutest bank teller ever.. can I have your autograph?

ahaahahahahahahhhhhhaaa
I said no. And blushed. And felt terribly awkward and then bad that I'd been so awkward with him.

My direct boss (in charge of schedules and things) at work is no longer with the company. Interesting.I have no idea how things are going to pan out... We'll see!
Could be really good. Or could be terrible.
I'm hoping for good.

Still waiting on that goodness the universe is planning for me.
Come on, Universe! You can do it!

shitty buzzzzz

Ew. TextEdit has never before frozen and lost an entry of mine before. Gross.

Life is shitty.
Life is shitty for bunches of my friends right now too and that's annoying. I want to cuddle them all up and take them to the ocean. The warm ocean. And swim in it. Oh, except the one who doesn't swim. I wouldn't make her swim, that would defeat the purpose of it all.
Wouldn't it.

I'm so tired I keep closing my eyes and then it's hard to get them open again.
Shitty buzz.

Got drunk with a big group of boys last night at Sneaky Dee's ran into my friend and he said "Meredith! Surrounded by babes as usual!"
Classic.

Too too too much to do and I'm ignoring it all hardcore because that's just how I roll.

Worked with a neat-o girl last night at skydome though. She's an actor as well, taking a bit of time off though, working working working and saving up for her wedding next year. Whoa. I would only get married if I were rich or I married a rich guy who hired me a wedding planner. Yep that sounds good.
Oh yeah, she's younger than me. Crazy.
She was pretty fun/funny though and we had a good time for a while until The Meltdown happened. Fucking everything that could go wrong with our unit did go wrong with our unit. It was extreme. The damn unit was giving off electrical shocks that I felt up my arms. The waste line was leaking, none of the taps were pouring, the beer was not cold enough, we didn't have lids, the printer was broken (so no credit cards and no receipts for business men), etc etc etc.
The biggest flaw in that building is that it's near impossible to track down supervisors when I need them. Ridiculous.
But we made some money. And I love money. Yeahhh huh.

PARTY TIME

I think I'm going to take a break from partying. I know I said that yesterday but still.

Text message of the week (to me because I'm always late, from a babe):
"Where a babe at?"

care-package!!!!

Now, there are some packages I care for more than others...
(ew Meredith)

care-packages from my mother (few and far-between) are my favourites!

- Tins
- Ginger cookies
- Chocolate
- The Tale of Two Bad Mice (haha I almost bought this for myself the other day)
- pink sweater
- black dress
- my favourite plate that I forgot
- pretty blue and white bowl

Sigh....

If only there were somewhere not infested with critters to put all this stuff.
I already ate 7 cookies.

I'm ignoring my disaster-state this afternoon. Had an audition and work to do for The Chill. And that was enough. Maybe tonight I will get back at 'er. After work I mean. Christ.

I'm feeling more rational about life today though. Slightly.

Mumma says that when you feel like your life is unbelievably shitty that just means that the universe is planning something majorly great for you.
Come on Universe! I want a series!

Went to check out my friend's new coffee shop this afternoon. They're doing construction on it, due to open in a couple of weeks. Pretty rad. I'm excited to have a venue owned entirely by someone I know. I think it's going to be pretty neat. Who wants to go for coffee???

The next Et Puis? launch might happen there (!!!!!).. presuming I ever write that damn booklet.
Craptastic

Sure don't want to go to work today!!!

you know I'm serious when

OMG

I'm throwing out my Christmas wrapping paper stash.


I feel like those hoarders on Oprah who fight to keep everything. Except I have to argue both sides.
Such hard work!



I'm doing a good job I'm doing a good job



I'm holding on very, very hard to the idea that I am going to have a clean, beautiful, wonderful home that I will never want to leave.

Very soon?


(oh please please please please)



P.S. - I accidentally (sub-consciously?) threw out my cellphone. Luckily it rang and alerted me to its disappearance. Ugh.

Who can waste the most time on the internet??

Me!!!!!!


My life is still a disaster.
I have no patience. I can't get up enough energy to do anything. I want to cry.
Or shut down. Yes. That one.

I think my iron's low.
I guess I could take some.
There, I did it.

I'm hungry hungry hungry (hippo).

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Maybe music will be the key to making today workable. ??

M.I.A.?

Buffy Sainte-Marie's Darling Don't Cry?
Nope.

Yeah. I totally blew at improv last night. Couldn't get it up.

It's supposed to be really warm out this afternoon. I'd like to go out and enjoy it. But I'm sure I won't. I'm sure I won't get enough done. Instead I'll waste time and procrastinate. Just like the idiot that I am.
20 degrees on Thursday?

Huh. Well.
I think I've done just about everything to avoid getting to work.
I'm the kind of person that gets bored in the middle of doing the dishes and wanders away. Today is not going to end well.

yayayayayay ayayayayay fun party yaaya fun times

From s-nicole.blogspot.com:
"The guys I like aren't anything alike, or so I pretend... until I walk up to their apartments. Then I'm forced to admit that in nine out of ten bedrooms, there are guitars leaning against the wall, empty tallcans in the kitchen sink, Mac books and sketchbooks (usually filled with potential tattoos) on the desk. Navy blue sheets and plaid flannel on the floor. Rock star autobiographies."

Hah!
except those are things I like about boys. So it only makes sense.

I'm happy today. Oh except still hopeless and at my wit's end and irritable.
All of those things.

Not as hopeless as yesterday though.

My life is a disaster!

Fuck!

I saw my old BFF yesterday for the first time in too long. We laughed pretty hard. And also talked serious. But laughing is always what we do best together. Especially when she almost pushes me down the stairs with my own mattress. What a card!

Went out last night to the Summerworks Festival launch party. Kind of fun. That space is very, very cool. I wish to perform there someday. We saw some good musics and Sass and I danced to Ballroom Blitz, which is one of my very favourites. Yeah huh.
Aaaand there were treats! Bakesale is one thing, but free treats - even better!

Improv tonight! I'm not really feeling it all. So maybe I'll just feel people up instead. Remind me to pack a snack. I get so hungry sometimes. Usually when I haven't eaten, I guess.

zzzzzexiness

The idea of a "personal" blog is kind of ridiculous

Entire Cities CD release last night. Pretty fun. Highlights included:
- the best kalimba playing I've seen
- a rousing Radiohead cover involving a whole stage full of people and a very, very raspy voice
- hearing all my Entire Cities favourites again (it's been too long)
- exercise trampoline jumping (never shake a babe!)
- pretending to interview my friend about the ice cream job (too many hilarious fake interview questions)
- $3.50 bottles of 50
- my beard of 50 labels





Apparently my favourite beast, Supertruck, is kicking the bucket. It's been a long time coming and he's served us all remarkably well.. but it will be weird to not have him to take care of me when I'm home.
I love driving. I love driving standard. I love driving Supertruck. Sigh.

I love Saskatchewan. In case you were wondering.

Today is stupid-busy but then I have three days off in row (with not too many social commitments)!
I'm planning a SUPER-SPRING-CLEANING. Like you would never even believe I am capable of. I am going to wash everything in this room. I am throwing everything out. I am not joking. I am paring down my life in any way possible (well, trying at least). Luckily Tuesday is garbage day because I am going to have stuff to get rid off. For real.
My goal is four garbage bags full of stuff for Value Village.
We'll see.

I'm going to take everything out of my apartment and try and seal off any possible mouse-entrance. And then set up a billion traps. And get rid of them. I believe it is possible. I have faith!

And I'm going to buy new furniture. It's been decided.

decompresser

I don't have to go to work today!!!!!

Oh. Except working from home.
But that's okay.
At least I get to be at home. By myself. Just hanging out. In pain. But such is life. I would have no problem being a celebrity endorser for Advil Liquigel. I love them. I think they are the best pain pills known to man. They are a miracle and I don't even think about their cost because they are great. Advil Liquigel, you've changed my life.

I don't know what I am getting myself into with almost-managing the ice cream parlour this summer. I keep getting sucked in further and I'm sure that's only going to get worse. But so far it's all on my terms.. so as long as I keep that up...
I need to hire a really good team though. I don't know if my idea of great workers is the same as the boss's though. Hopefully it works out.

Reading cover letters and resumes is very bizarre. I feel like I can straight-up tell who I am going to like. We'll see if that turns out to be true.
I'm going to just hire new bffs. I'll create a whole new friend base by my hirings. Except probably not. OMG. Imagine if somehow I only hired babes. And then it'd be like that cheese store in Kensington, that I clearly only go into to see the babes.

"Comfortable and competent in a subordinate role"
zexy.

OMG Kingston Trio so good.

Whoa. Natalie Portman is dating Devendra Banhart? What? Srsly?





BFF's birthday dance party at Dakota last night. I'm there way too often!

Entire Cities CD release tonight, which promises to be a big big party/event/fiasco. I like promises like that. I wish I was feeling better. I think I'm going to go lie down now.

I hit you in the face last night, I'm glad you didn't wake up, that would've been awkward

I've never been hotter.

I bought these glasses yesterday at Value Village. They seem to be my prescription, I'm going to be wearing them because I am a hipster. They have a tendency to make babes associating themselves with me very mad "Take those off, I'm going to punch you if you wear them"
Hahahhh

Got to meet two of Sass's friends last night. They came out to a show with me. I really liked both of them a whole lot. Mostly because they were such big fans of mine. Probably because I'm famous. No, but some of the jokes we were making with seriously murdering me. I like fun girls!
We all put on my new glasses and took pictures but Sass hasn't posted them yet. Don't worry, hilarity will, indeed, ensue. For real.

.

I'm so nutso.
I need time alone like I've never needed anything before, but I am unable to do it.
I am beyond sad and home-sick but blocking it off.

I can't stop being social and there's too much to do. This leads to me being beyond over-the-top and excitable. Or irritable.
I have a hard time going home once I'm out. Plus this house is too much of a disaster to spend any time in. Gross.

My poor friends. Seriously. I don't know why anyone puts up with the bullshit I come out with. I'm constantly getting my hopes up, building things up in my head, convincing myself, convincing everyone, and then getting let down.. having things fall through. Must be frustrating to watch me do it
Sigh sigh sigh

The boys I know are not like men, I do not need to excuse their behaviours with "that's just what men do" "boys will be boys" "he's just being a guy", etc, etc..
So when I encounter a man (negative attributes implied) who acts like one.. I'm at a loss on how to deal
Communication breakdown is also exceedingly mind-blowing.
I wonder if it's curable...


Holy Sexy!!!

never shake a babe

omg sunny out! srsly
like 20 degrees or some such non-sense. I have long shorts on!

the other day friend commenting on how it wasn't as warm out as it seemed:
"I'm way more into spring than spring is into itself right now"

Bike-riding! Everything is so much closer again. No longer are my stops and shopping trips dictated by quick walkability or by streetcar routes! My life is going to be so much cheaper with no cost to get to work!

The company that runs the food and beverage in Skydome got bought out and now we're dealing with a whole new overhead management. But it's made awkward by how everyone from our location was kept on.. and they're not really changing the system. It's all a disaster right now. Everything's a mess. We have all these Americans (rude!) watching us all at all times and pretending like they're looking for way to help, but really, they're just looking for use to screw up. I realize that I always hate the first month or so of a new job and if I manage to make it past then, then I generally like it. And this is like a new job. Except with the added frustration of familiarity. This is the longest I've ever worked anywhere, and it used to be my favourite job. I hope it shapes back into something I'd like.. but right now, it's just bad news.
Also, they keep severely over-staffing and have hired all of these new people. It's impossible to make any money because there's way too many of us. I left early on Sunday because we were at about $7 each in tips. Yikes!
Not to sound like a deservist.. but I can't work for minimum wage. It's just not worth it. And I can't deal much more with this corporate breathing-down-our-necks thing they have going on. It stresses me out.
I was overtly rude to their new "Alcohol Compliance Supervisor". I was like "So what do you do Exactly?" and he repeated his job title, "I get that, I know your title, but what do you DO?"
He basically told me that he was watching us at all times to make sure we weren't fucking up the alcohol laws.
He's not there to help, he's not there to get our backs or back us up when there's a problem. Nope, simply there to catch us when we fuck up. "I make sure you do your job, or bad things will happen" direct quote.

Though my job is a walk in the park compared to what one of my gfs is going through. I can't believe some human beings. Who makes these people? The cruel ones?
Where are these people's parents? Are they also fucked up?

Not to state the obvious or anything, but life is really, really hard work sometimes.
I am constantly awed by the shit people have to go through.
And when they manage to still be good people.. extra awing..

I need a good cry. Like for seven hours

ridiculous

I woke up at ten and then had a nap at one. I'm exhausted these days. I even slept through the construction they're doing on the attached roof.
I didn't get any of the stuff done that I should've.

!!!!

So frustrated with everything around me at this exact moment.
Life's messy

I'm maybe just not very good at improv. It's hard to tell. I wasn't really into it last night. Actually, I really was, but then I just faded fast. Maybe only due to how tired I was. But I'm having little patience for it. Making whole stories is kind of tiring.
Maybe I'm more cut out for game-style improvs.

I do like the drinking after improv though. We didn't stay as long as we usually do last night. I guess some people have "day jobs" that require early rising.. but still.
Wings are possibly the grossest food I've seen. Just saying.
It was brought up last night that our days as a class are coming to an end.. it'll be strange when that happens. I kind of like this group.

Talked to one of my BFFs yesterday while I was in Shoppers. She's doing theatre school in Montreal right now. I hadn't talked to her in forever so I couldn't get off the phone but I also couldn't go through the check-out while I was on the phone, so I wandered around and came up with more and more things to buy while I was speaking to her.

I have a tiny bit of money right now, so I'm into buying things I'll need eventually so that when I'm broke I'll be thankful I did. Things like contact solution, tampons and nail polish. Because nail polish is a necessity.

I can spend more money in Shoppers than anywhere else, I think.

I'm considering changing my rap name. To something a little more manageable...

Holy hell did I manage to get exactly nothing accomplished today!

monday is like my weekend

"I bet you shop at Dominion, don't you? I'm going to come pick you up some time and take you to the No Frills..."

aw, the romance

Oh god I bought so many groceries. I don't know what I was thinking.. except about how much I hate carrying things home usually. I don't even have a full-sized fridge! And now it's full
delicious:
-grapes
-pickles
-cereal

I'm a bit on edge today and sort of over-emotional, little things make me want to weep into my soup
but I'm happy still
oh yeah

I'm smiling a lot

Party-all-the-time-to-the-extreme week/end. I was so happy to sit at home for a bit this afternoon, painting my toenails and watching bad TV...
Even when I'm exhausted I can't stop the body rock. I mean, what if people were out having a good time without me?

Like tonight, I'm exhausted but I'm sure going to improv and then definitely going for beer and then probably staying out way later than I should, because I have bad limits. Yeah huh.

whoa

"for someone who is such a pathetic name dropper, you would think you would have some serious work under your belt...but thats not the case...you obviously build these pretend stories up in your tiny head when your imagining ppl at your work are looking at you and saying "oh thats the girl from the commercial", when they are looking at you and saying, "what the hell is that thing, i'd rather walk down the 3 flights of stairs to get beer somewhere else". point blank, stop tripping on your own self, cuz soon enuff your gonna fall flat on your ugly face.."

"it's ALL true i work there..."

my girl likes to [sleep] all the time

I'm so tired that I can't believe that I'm typing instead of being passed out right now.
Stupid internets.

People don't like it when they recognize you from being off tv and then you refuse them alcohol service because they don't have proper ID.. that girl from that commercial is such a bitch

Jays home opener last night!
I actually have quite a soft spot for them Blue Jays, probably because I've been to all of their games for 4 years.
Beat Boston pretty badly last night. I have no idea what happened today - I was out of there as soon as possible..
The home opener was completely nuts. Complete breakdown of my beer unit with leaking pipes and not-working taps and a new guy who had no idea how to pour.. oh god the fun times. But I made sweet scratch, so whatevers..
I was going to try and take a picture of the Red Sock that walked by me (for my Boston friend) but I think I could totally get fired for that. Weirdly enough.

I'm totally going to start dating pro athletes

I'm so famous.

Went to dinner at Kalendar tonight with my friend and his mother. I really, really like parents. I don't see enough of them in Toronto.. everyone's away from their fams it seems. Such good food though, I would've gone just for that. But it's funny to see where people come from - who they are made by, and how they relate to them.

I'm excited for my mum to come and visit me in May. Even though I'll get irritated with her.. it'll be fun. I like when she meets my friends too, it's good illustrations for all the stories I tell.
I tell my mum way too much.
It's funny when I talk about her how proud I get. My whole family, actually. My heart swells (but really, you ever get that feeling?)..

Oh, mum, a co-worker tells me that the ice breakers spot is always on during General Hospital, so you could tape that for it, maybe?
It seems unfair that you haven't seen it since you'd probably be second only to me in excitement for it.

Work again tomorrow.. it's really cutting into my Party All The Time. Unfair. Oh, wait. I have way too sweet of jobs. Right.

sigh

Oh sigh sigh. SIGH... but in a positive way


Brunch time!




There's not much I like more than lying in bed and listening to the rain. It helps if there's a babe there, but either way.

April is already way better than March has ever been. Spring is still such a tease though. I am so ready for sundresses. I am planning and planning for them...



"Hey, are you in that commercial?"
"Yes. I'm very, very funny and very smart and pretty, so it was really easy for me to do"



Ow my party-all-the-time lifestyle is making my head hurt.

"Can I be in your blog?"
No way, you're way too tall, your head would get cut off

That doesn't make sense.

Goddamn do I like some of my gfs. So hard. We got pretty shittered last night at Dakota which is my very favourite bar in this city. Officially. But there's no cellphone reception there. Just so you know.

OMG I'm getting nothing done these days. Obviously, since I'm never at my house. Next week is the week for working and getting everything done.

Et Puis? magazine is ridiculously over-due. It's not like anyone but me cares, but it's important to me to get it out. To still be able to call myself a poet.

Tonight is the Jays home opener! Excited to see everyone and have everyone exclaim over my successes! Excited because it's Boston and so it'll be busy. Not excited for being this tired there.

Tonight I feel like there's a bunch of things I'm supposed to do.. but I can't really remember what they are or whether I'd actually like to them.
Maybe I'll sleep instead. Yeah Right.
If by sleep I mean PARTY

give her

How come no one else wants to be a part of my song of the day email club?? I filled up some people's hotmail accounts pretty quick. That's why you should delete them after downloading. obvs

I just had a bath and now I'm exhausted. Too relaxing.
I'd rather go to the Sweet Thing show tonight than go to work.. but I'm responsible and stuff
Gross

I hear EE's office reads this. Now there's too much pressure for me to be funny and entertaining. I am rarely either, I just talk about being both a lot.

Huh. So apparently I have nothing to say today. One part exhaustion and one part, this is not actually a personal diary

Best text message of late
"Damn girl.. Give'r"

it's like a pizza... a pizza made of candy and ice cream!

still in love with my bidness cards. So hard. So, so hard. I gave out a lot to my co-workers. My boss said "What does a Professional Dreamboat do exactly?" and I said "Just hangs out being rad, mostly"

So true.
Actually, now I can fer sure not talk about work on here because they'll all be crawling over this.. Hello co-workers!!!
I am a good worker and a good person and not a slacker and I love doing a good job and stuff

Too bad, I was going to list off my work crushes in order of height.

I go through phases (and moods) where I don't blush at all and then I go through phases where I blush when it even occurs to me to blush. Lately I've been spending at least 3/4 of the day pinker than a pig. I don't really know what that's about.
The funniest is when I'm blushing because I think that someone thinks that I have a crush on them. It's not that I do, indeed, have it for them, it's that I think they think I do. Wild.
Some blushing is appropriate though, like when I see that (nearly-married) co-worker with whom I had a drunken staff-party conversation about how "fantastic" my breasts are.. that's fair to redden about

They are though

This weblog has too much foul language and inappropriate content. I am constantly getting found by porno searchers.
Hurrah!!!

The skydome's food/beverage company got bought out and so now I am employed by someone new, I guess - but with the same bosses. I have to go for re-training tomorrow. 6 hours worth, apparently. Gross me out the door. I hope there's coffee and treats and pizza! And maybe Treatza Pizza!!! (I forgot about treatza pizza until this instant, so good)

When you say 'MRC' (my initials) quickly it almost sounds like 'Mercy'...

I like the warmth of his voice. And the nicknames and his answering the phone with "hi cute girl", which I counter with "don't call me that". I like notes ended in XO and his hands on my hips as we greet each other

These things don't really make up for all that's wrong.. but I can sometimes pretend like they do


I still smell of chlorine

let's do it

and by "it" I mean "business"

now I can with these ridiculously hot new cards:::



(I covered some sensitive information which I am only now getting in the habit of withholding from the internets.. my paranoid friends would be proud)

I can't even tell you how excited I am about these.

Life is good.

Cock-Block Me Jesus

You know what's a boner-killer?
Finding out someone's really religious.
That didn't happen to me today, but seriously though.
Way to cock-block yourself with Jesus.

Holy offensive.



OMG OMG OMG
I just checked the weather network! And it looks like it's going to be 13 degrees and not raining this afternoon! What!
What!
Where are my shorts!!!!

I am so much less mad about being awake right not.
I'm being forced into aquafit this morning. Except I'm a little bit excited about it. She just tried to wiener out but I wasn't having any of that.

Some wieners are good.

I think I'm still drunk, that must be the cause for such excitement.

Oh, right, and the weather!
