don't say randy it reminds me too much of home improvement

here is a dress I'm pretty into wearing. It's my friends I got at a clothing swap and then I hemmed the shit out of it. I wore it a lot at the beginning of the month and it's so specific now I have to give it a rest!

OH GOD MY LIFE IS FILLED WITH RIVETING EXCITEMENT.

......

Sometimes I look at a room and think "needs more stuff". actually, most of the time. STUFF STUFF STUFF STUFF.

haaa sometimes I come home with more trinkets and Yulie says "more stuff??". OBVIOUSLY. how else will our house be the best house. Stuff.



Wow, none of these photos are particularly flattering! I guess I'll just post all of them anyway!


My roommates have been into this song for a bit and then Firehorse posted it again yesterday or something and now it's the only thing I want to listen to.

also those dance moves are so great. It makes me want to have a billion dance parties.

look,

Prune stayed over the other night. Everyone loves my flower sheets. I wonder if babes love my flower sheets or if they think I'm a nutbar. Not that that's the only reason they'd think that. hahaaaa I was thinking about dates today like the event not the fruit and man, the idea of a real-life actual date sure seems like a weird bad idea to me. unnerving.

Anyway, yeah, Prune is back around but I haven't been seeing enough of her.



Oh my god I'm going to do everything in my power today to avoid doing any actual writing. Don't worry. I won't do anything! I'm going to watch all my tv shows and make crafts instead!
I did get a lot of tv watching done yesterday plus got a start on some Christmas projects. And that's important!



I'm def not going to be able to afford Christmas. I have to tell Mrs. to invite me over for a canning project again. Maybe our beans could be less salty this time.


OH GREAT, some pictures of me lying around!
This is from when I was feeling ill earlier this week. I was really, really sick this month with my not-pregnant.
ahahhaaa guess how much I'm into that joke.
I think it makes it seem nicer for babes. Like "Hey, babe! I got my not-pregnant!" exciting times!

I was standing outside of Communist's Daughter the other night and Norman and I had just gotten snacks for watching the hockey game at my place (HAHA hockey) (haahaah I asked my brother to get me Canucks gear for Christmas. I hope he does it. Did I say all this already?) and so I was standing there showing Fisher through the window that I had pickles and ice cream and this group of people came out and the guy was like,
"nice!"
and one of the girls was like,
"who got dumped..?"
and I said "no one! I'm just on my not-pregnant."



I feel weird. Maybe because I just drank a pot of green tea and I didn't sleep that long and I have a weird assortment of drinks last night and for breakfast I had a gluten-free brownie with vanilla ice cream?
ohhhh yeah I'm probably on an awful sugar high. Gross.


maybe I'll post smaller pictures again. Are they getting too big? Overwhelming?

I keep forgetting I have a tattoo! goodgoddamn I am so bad.



"I've been more than clear on my position on things. Reverse cowgirl." -joke I just made to Dollface.

aaaaaaaand with that I leave you!

here ya go mum ya big nag

"Time to fuckin' update" - my (always classy) mother.




I don't have any shifts at work this week, really. All the more time to sit around in my room, my dear!




I'm pretty into my room today. I spend a great deal of time rearranging and decorating all yesterday. I think it's looking fucking lovely. Can you imagine what great things I could do if I had money? Any money at all? I mean, honestly, pretty much everything you see is thrifted, from garage sales, or found in the street.



I spray-painted some magazine holders that Firehorse was going put in the trash and then nailed them to the wall. The stack of hard-shelled suitcases are from small town Saskatchewan thrift-stores, the vintage sheets are from Dollface's cottage of course.
The desk and both chairs I found in the road. Good old road finds!



it's still kind of disaster, I need to actually finish cleaning it up. Unfortunately, now that it's so nice all I want to do is sit and enjoy my new work area and make crafts. Classic classic classic!



I've been hanging out with Norman a lot lately. Luckily. He's very smart and a good friend to have and he pointed out that I've maybe been martyring myself a bit lately and putting up with too much shit, especially in terms of friends and babes.
So I'm trying not to do that.
I think there's such a thing as trying to be too good of a friend or too understanding. I'm going to stop.

Here's a video about nicknames and also a new dating pact I made!!:

Is this all TMI? maybe. Who cares!




Guys, I'm glad that fall is here. I mean, I'm sad that summer somehow slipped out from under us, but it was a pretty great one and now I'm ready for a slower pace and more tea-sipping and tv-watching.
And writing. Right, writing, that elusive bitch.

Also, I hope that all babes grow beards and take me out on the town.

Here is the Bender Gang in entirety. Me, Carla Ghee, Norman, Firehorse.
I love Bender Gang. Bender Gang hasn't been together as much this summer as we were all winter and spring, I think we're coming back together now (because everyone else will party less...).


In this one we are ghosts!

We make a pretty good team, tell ya that for free.

also we are racially diverse except for me but I basically am because people think I'm a natural redhead and redheads are going extinct. So basically a minority.

Okay! I successfully avoided writing for another while there! Congratulations to me! Maybe now I'll get to it. Or, more likely, I'll make some more Christmas crafts (less than 3 months to go! I'm so behind already!) and watch tv... whichevers!

new tradition I drink tequila coolers when out with improv buds

Somehow I managed to get up at reasonable time today! 9:30! that's a totally acceptable time, right? for me, at least.


This looks like a realistic photo of me, I think. I still have such a hard time imagining myself as a real-life human who exists in the world. self-perception is so bizarre.


Dollface and I had pho for dinner last night and she gave me a gift and the gift was all of these flower-print sheets. So beautiful!
except the reason why I got them is because they are selling the cottage in the springtime. How heartbreaking!
dislike.


I'm so happy for my flower-bed though. And it will go so well with my flower-wall. If any of you want to paint me flower pictures or find me flower pictures for my wall, I'd be so into that!


Oh yeah, our show went really well yesterday! Our group is good!




awwwww a couple of my favourite buds from improv! ha, actually I'm a pretty big fan of all my improv group these days!


hahaa classic. We definitely drank in the park afterward for an extended period of time. Why not!

the class that went after us yesterday was the conservatory 6 group, which is the last level of con, and they were so fun! I cannot wait for us to get to write our own sketches and perform them! Getting to do our best characters and best ideas!
There were these two girls from the other class who did a couple of sweet scenes that depended on them being such a great duo and I'm trying to convince my favourite improv bud (this girl here) that we need to be like them. She's the funniest so I'm just going to jump on that bandwagon like whoa.


Apparently my old friend ee gets into town today. I'm hoping that we can arrange some very fun hangs this week. She's pretty much the boss of fun, so it shouldn't be tooo hard.

Also I'm working the hockey pre-season game tonight which is exciting because it means that soon hockey season starts again in earnest and then I get to go back to going to Hoops all the time with Norman! what a funtime!

all root vegetables all the time

Honestly, I don't know what's wrong with me! Whenever I think about updating I think "no, I just can't right now". For no reason!


hahaa Sweet Beastly's face. So cute.

We had Mixtape Club Dinner Party last night at Mrs's house! I lovelovelove mixtape club, which you've probably gathered if you know me IRL or see me on twitter or fb.
Whatever, I love it.
It's always just such a lovely fucking comfortable time with people I don't get to see nearly enough of but who I loooove so hard.



Mrs. did a really wonderful, stand-up job of accommodating our (my) various dietary restrictions. I basically ate a pound of brie, probably not the best plan but it was so delicious! And there were gluten-free crackers!


Whose red ghost is that? I dunno.

Also, rootbeer floats with coconut-milk ice cream are a genius idea, jfyi.


Arrow got to come because he lives at Mrs's house, not because we're expanding Mixtape Club. Don't get jealous. haha, aww Arrow was being very cute and helpful.










I'm working all week this week except today because I have a show and except Tuesday because I have a class. Improv is costing me all of my dollars. I do love improv, though.
We did a musical class for the first time last week and I guess most of the people did all of the levels through Second City before doing our conservatory program but I've only done classes with Bad Dog and so they have some experience with singing and I really, really don't. My favourite classmate asked me what was wrong last week because I think my nervous were super visible.
The problem with singing is that I wish with all my heart that I were good at it, but I'm really not very strong! Therefore I care too much and it makes me uncomfortable.
It'll be alright, though. I think I'm going to get excellent of singing in character for sure. And I have yet to break out my impression of David Sedaris's impression of Billie Holliday and that's a show-stopper for sure.

 

ooooooo


sorry to those of you who are sick of hipstamatic, it's now mixtape club tradition!

You can't really get a good sense of how nice and wonderfully decorated Mrs. and Arrow's place is from these photos but it's really quite, quite perfect. I'm pretty jealous. It has a lot of stuff in it. I just love stuff.
Sometimes I bring home more stuff and Yulie says "more stuff??" like we don't need 4 new mason jars or some shit. Yahhh right.




I think I might get the Christmas edition of Mixtape Club again this year and if I do I'm going to make it a Christmas brunch and make it all to be just like Christmas morning breakfast in our family! Ohhhh man, that would be so so so fun.

Also, I'm super excited about decorating this house for Christmas! I've never had a banister before! I have to make stockings for my roommates!! aiaiaiaai.
Leave me alone, this is the only way I can get through winter, obviously!


okay byeee gotta go do a show tell me to break my legs thanks byenow
