remember when they made cinnamon cream cheese?

maybe I've said this before, but, cloth napkins make me feel fancy.


as do all-neutral-tone outfits. I may have stolen this from Onesie a bit, but, hey... that's what roommates are for, right? to get creepily obsessive and copy you and climb into bed with you while you're sleeping. right?


rain, when I have things to do, gets very annoying. I wish I could bike in the rain to auditions but I'd get so muddy it'd take just as long to straighten everything out when I got there. hmmmm.

look, family,

stained-glass post-tops!
Mum, I was thinking you could do this sort of thing except with the broken blue-and-white china? rrrrright?


cakecakecakecake
if you are going on a diet you should tell me before I arrange for flourless chocolate cake with cinnamon cream cheese swirled in and popcorn for dinner. hahaaaa diet.

so fucking delicious!

Nick Rose is playing tonight at Cameron House and it's been too long since I've heard that guy's songs.
In case you NEEDED to know what I was doing tonight.

BYE NOW.

entertaining myself!

I'm blogging from an audition room.
They are way behind schedule!

There are several very beautiful women here. One is exceptionally stunning. It's hard not to feel disheartened since I am medium-good-looking and have purple hair.
(it's not that purple anymore... Still too dark though)

I'm busy reassuring myself that this girl is prettier than Claire Danes in My So-Called Life, but I'd never want to see her do that part.
Almost makes sense.

My house is still amazing. We're all pretty happy I think. Having our first party tomorrow night. You can come (unless you're even slightly a creeper)!

I have so much to do before tomorrow night and we're running out of time. And both Onesie and I have been at work so much.... I have this evening, though-- if they ever let me out of here, that is.
The theme is: Our Easy Birthdays
Not that I'm saying my household is easy but that's what I'm saying.

This is the first year I've not payed attention to NXNE at all.. I haven't posted my recommends or even mentioned it. Maybe next year. I still like band guys, so don't worry!!!

magnolias in fulllll bloom

Hi guys.
I don't have time for the internet because I am busy. Busy mostly sitting in the park with Carla Ghee all afternoon. BUT STILL.


hoooolllleeeeee god my day has been rather shitty so far.
I botched an audition to play a corpse by not being able to keep my eyelids from fluttering.
AND
I got a ticket for having Kaya off-leash in Bellwoods.

shitty, shitty buzz.



I'm feeling medium-okay,though. JUST WANT GOOD THINGS TO HAPPEN FOREVER!!!


hahahahahahahaahaa not even going to rotate it.

let's all hug forever!
jk I don't like hugs. except sometimes. from some people.
people without pants.

BYE NOW.

rock around the clock

Here are some pictures of Dayna's parents' house! 

it's prettttttttty amazing. Everything is fifties and I meant to take a picture of how the basement is pretty much a malt shoppe, sorry guys should have gotten a snap of that for you.

I like houses that are warm and comfortable the best. Ones where you aren't afraid of wrecking things or messing stuff up. Those are the best. Plus this one has so much to look at you never get bored. Dayna and I measured ourselves and it said I was two inches taller than I thought I was (5'3, really? I beg to differ I basically can't reach anything) and it said Dayna was one inch shorter than she thought.... hmmm

This is the room I got to have!


I messed it up a bit! It's lovely to have one's own room, that's for sure. And there were some really pretty records on the wall. I liked the purple marbled ones the best.
I never ever want to listen to this record:

not kidding.
here is where we spent virtually all of our time:

Dayna is now obsessed with getting a hot tub. It's a priority before a car or children, apparently. Amazing. I got ice in my hair first and Dayna was jealous.

I wish I were on vacation again now. Vacation is the best. Saskatoon on the 16th though, which is ridiculously soon. I mean, how did it get to be December so quickly?! Christmas is outrageously soon! I'm not ready!!

uh oh toooo cute. this is in the corner of the bathroom!

When I have a house I'm for sure getting back into miniatures. Everything is better in miniature.

I also forgot to take a photo of the sign in the bathroom which says
"please don't throw cigarette butts in the urinal as it makes them soggy and hard to light"

drive-back pictures!


ohhh yeah we had the dogs with us the whole time too, I don't know if I mentioned. But they didn't come to the rock shows with us.

guysguysguys you all suck because you don't leave comments and you must know that I have nothing to do all day except check the internet, so what the eff, hey?

just kidding I had a suuuuuper busy day today. By which I mean I had one audition to go to on the other side of town and then I came home and made mushroom soup and soon I have to go to work! Busy by my standards.

I like running into buds at auditions, it calms me down. I get a tense face when I go to auditions. Winning quality.

Haaa on the streetcar over this man was asking me about my iphone and then he asked me where I was off to (school?), I told him I was going to an audition. I didn't realize that by doing so I was inviting him to tell me all about how to go about my career! Turns out I have to move to New York or LA! man, if I'd only known!

Now I know what to do though. Thank goodness.

chia chia chia chic

GUYSES, it looks like I'm getting free glasses from clearly contacts! they were having a give-away! I mean, I couldn't try them on so who even knows how they'll look on me but I am still V excited! I love glasses! glassesglassesglasses
Plus my old dark plastic framed ones are broken and my clear plastic ones are less appealing ever since a babe said they looked like science goggles. HAHAHAHA not that much of a babe, apparently. I'm good at experimenting. No I'm not.
And my olden-timey ones aren't the most comfortable and sometimes they feel like they're a bit much.



okok these are the ones I chose. Good? Yeah.

Anyway, I just have the pay the $15 shippping. Not too shabby. I've ordered my contacts from them before and always had super good service and they're into being really great and friendly and easy to use. Like it.



Oh man, it's funny how easy it is to go from being like "my career's bad, nothing good will ever happen" to being with it again, positive.
Turns out it just takes two auditions in two days that go well and you look good for and having good hair.


Man, good hair is hard to have. If you're me and have the thinnest, finest hairs ever which don't hold red dye for anything. But lately I've been doing an okay job of coming close to having the long luxurious hairs I've always dreamed of. and it's mostly kind of soft. When it's not dreadlocking itself rubbing on my shirt collars.


Also good hair is kind of the only thing that matters in terms of being a pretty girl. No? Close though?
I wish I had natural curls and I wish my hair would grow longer and longer and be the shiniest ever. Pipe dreams.
Oh you don't care that much? 


Today I had an audition for a TV show and I only had 1.5 lines and there was no character description to speak of. Those are kind of hard! Not much to go on. I felt okay about it and the guy said "great fucking read" which is nice and makes me feel better about it. Plus I felt like I had a good outfit on. I am THE WORST at dressing for auditions. I find it so painfully stressful.
I mean, I can normally outfit myself in real life but jeeeeezus all the restrictions on what you're supposed to wear and also how to keep a bit of personality plus cover up things you want covered (fat arms, etc.) plus no tears plus professionalish. Ughhghg. I honestly wish I had a stylist who would just decide for me in times like these.


I'm working today tomorrow, right through Wednesday, actually. Too much! Of course I deserve it since I was on vacation for two weeks there. But still.

Oh, also I have an embarrassing story for ya real quick.
I was on a date the other night. I rarely go out on dates. I mean, I hang out with dudes sometimes but rarely it is a date with someone I barely know. Bizarre sport, that. I resisted doing tequila shots and I resisted canceling I don't know how people do this on the regular.
ANYWAY, on the date I open up Facebook on my phone and of course the first thing that comes up is a picture of him. Which he saw. Obviously. Ughhh the last thing I'd been looking at (I was showing Dayna, actually, the night before) was his profile.

Emmmmmbarrassing. But also funny.



Today I bought some chia seeds because apparently they are a super food. I will eat them and get tough. I will get my omegas and my iron. They were very expensive. Most healthy things are. sshitty buzz, eh.
I forgot to pick up more quinoa. Speaking of expensive healthy things.



Okok rambly entry I haven't even had coffee today although I did have so much coffee last night and beer at the same time and it was a sweet combination, I'll tell ya that.

my little bud from Saskatoon is in town and I'm going to Auntiesss with her in a few minutes here. I know I've knicknamed her on her but good lord knows what it is. She's cute, anyway.

I wish my new glasses were here now!
I wish I would have a billion more auditions and book everything!

tiny strawberry print!

heythere, good news, I'm in a good mood. So don't worry or anything, no need to get me flowers (get me flowers.) or anything.



Aww man, I'm so productive it's kind of sick. I didn't even go out last night because I'm responsible and I may not go out tonight, either. I haven't done any writing lately, though. Nor the blogging I should be doing. So I want to get to that.



Today I got up at 8, did some push-ups, crunches, stretches, and vocal warm-ups, I worked on my lines for a bit then biked to logan for an audition. Then I did the audition (didn't go awesome, too many words! what am I, literate?). Then I biked to the central Y. I was disappointed to realize they don't yet have the Gravity machines, but I did the eliptical for a bit, then some machines, then the rowing one for a bit. I like the rowing one.



Then I went shopping!
Which is when I bought the dress featured in these photos. LOVE THIS DRESS.
It was more than I usually spend ($30. leave me alone.) but too perfect. I may have also got a couple other little items. Ughhh so pretty. I'd never been in Forever 21 before and now I can't go back because I spent too much money. It's okay though because I'm rich. Hmm.



Then I biked over to Aunties to meet Violet for brunch. It felt like it was around 4 p.m. because I am so used to getting up at 11, but really it was only 12:30. Wild!
So Violet and I had a lovely brunch and Cpt. Heh cooked it for us. Did I say yet that Cpt. Heh works at Aunties now? Did I? Who can keep track! It's funny because Cpt. Heh and McGruff (who is our bud/server) both think Violet is very pretty. Maybe because she is. But probably because they are just tired of seeing me and she's fresher to them. haaaha. um.



Now I am at home and I just took an absurd amount of pictures of myself and of Ruth Buzzi and now I'm editing them and posting them and blogging. I am also burning a CD of the photos I took of those Weather Station-ers to give to Miss. Lindeman and then I'm going to bike to work. Then I'm going to walk Kaya. Then I'm going to sleep at some point. Then I think gym again tomorrow. Mrs, you wanta do aquafit in the morning? Probably not, she's getting ready to have a BBQ.





I wish I could write out the jokes I make to customers at work but they wouldn't translate well, I don't think. It's pretty fun sometimes though. My cute co-worker IDed a guy (we ID under 30) who was like
"you think I'm young? you think I'm your age?"
and she said "I think you look around 30 or under"
and he came back with "hey maybe we should date if you think I'm your age"
and I was like "Hey, yeah, hey you should go on a date with him! This is your big chance! You never get to go on dates, no one ever asks you out! You've always wanted a date!"
haha super enthusiastic-like. She gets asked out about 7 times a shift. That sort of took the piss out of him.
See that didn't translate well.
Hmm.
I dance around a lot at work. Sometimes they play songs I like I like at the end after mostly everyone is gone they play Closing Time by Leonard Cohen occasionally.

Um, is Drake growing on anyone else a bit?




Yeah I still have more photos like this. Laterz I guess.

Now I have to go try not to eat all the Nibs.

a bea see dee eeeee eff gee haych ai

Hopefully I didn't already post these photos from Raymi's birthday. That would be embarrassing.



Yesssss I got my Y membership all done and good today. Now I don't have to always go with Mrs. now I can go by myself, too. Holy shit I'm going to be so tough. I will have to swear more and wear more shirts with cut-off sleeves. ha, I wore a shirt to the Y the other day that I had cut the sleeves off. Mrs. liked it for sure.



I just spent a lot at the liquor store. I wasn't even thirsty.
Setting a little display on the table. Want to have more liquor around for me and my guests. It's a nice thing to be able to offer. And a nice thing to have to display. And a nice thing to drink forever.
I went to Mrs.'s house the other day and she had a tray in the front room with boozes on it. I was jealous. God, what is this blog, Mrs.'s life story??




I bought:
a) gin
b) scotch
c) TEQUILA




tequila tonics are my new favourite drink. I drank them last night on my drinking tour of ossington with Dollface. We went to Betty's, Commie's, and Lakeview Lunch. At the lakeview lunch we did not have
a) three-cheese grilled-cheese
b) onion rings
c) sweet potato fries
d) regular fries
e) veggie burger, no bun (my standard)

instead we got salads. Healthy timez. yeah as well as being tough I am going to be filled with vitamins.




TEQUILA AND VITAMINS.

hey have you tried those gummy vitamins from Shoppers? They make me remember to take
my vitamins because they are delicious.




I also spent a lot at Dollarama today. I always feel really guilty about shopping at Dollarama but not for shopping in chinatown and shit... I should just feel guilty all the time, cover my bases.
I bought:
a) bike lights (two sets. $1.50 each, so you know.)
b) batteries for the bike lights
c) compact florescent lightbulbs
d) a smooth egg-shaped stone
e) a ceramic plant pot
f) sunglasses (weirdly super comfortable)
g) cheese and broccoli rice
h) wicker basket
i) wicker basket
j) wicker basket
k) set of 5 pens
l) set of 4 pens
m) set of 6 pens
o) nibs
p) nylons

I think that's almost all. Pretty good haul, I'll tell you that much for free. And man, their wicker is so cheap! and shitty, I know I know.



So, yeah, I had that recall this morning but it was kind of like the beginning episode of ANTM where all the girls are there but then they tell some of them they can leave. Yeah I was told I could leave, some people got to stick around and compete for the chance of becoming Bagel's next top advocate.
That's okay though because usually you just never hear and eventually you sort of figure out that you didn't get it. At least I know.
Plus, I don't even eat bagels!

Though I wish I could.



In other news, I'm really looking for a funny babe who is very good at making me laugh all the time and who thinks I'm as funny as I am (very funny) and then wants to make jokes all day.
Just in case you were wondering.
