ah, Henry, let's set the date already!

Ever wonder if I would be a deliciously good-looking bride?


Everyone fussing around me!

oh yeah, I for sure made like I was engaged while we were at the wedding show on Sunday. I went with Mrs. and her future step-mother-in-law and a couple of our other friends and I thought, "hey, this would be more fun if it were about me" 
HAHAA classic meredith. 
I made up a lot of things about my fiancĂ©, Henry. By the end I was pretty sure he sounded nice enough and we'd be happy together. The best was when thinking about all this on the way over I said, "can he be British?" and Mrs. heard "can he be frigid?" so we decided he'd be both! 
He's also very particular, that Henry! 


Got into a conversation with a guy who runs a DJ service about how my DJ friends would insist on doing the music for my wedding. He was a good sport about it.
I just about registered my wedding registry with The Bay because they'd give me a travel mug! Overwhelming!

I tried to gather some ideas to bring back for Violet, who is actually engaged (congratulations!!!!), but mostly it was all really pretty gaudy stuff... 



I did think she needed these $1000 cakes though. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS?? ARE PEOPLE INSANE?
(sooo pretty!)

I like the flower one on the far left. Oh really, I like flowers? It's funny because in real life I never even notice flowers but flower-prints? Aw yeah, all up in that.

It was a terrible, terrible day to be allergic to gluten. So many cake samples. I would have eaten that up to bits... Ugh.

We watched the bridal fashion show and my favourite was the swimsuit wedding gear! (ughgughhh)
also, the grossest, most revealing line was by "Shkank"! How fitting! It was so, so unappealingly sexy. And all of the dresses featured removable skirts and overlays and stuff, so you could get more naked throughout your special day!!

Aaaanyway, I'm very excited for Violet's wedding because I will live vicariously through her. I hope she has an expensive fancy wedding! I'd never have an expensive wedding!
They're lawyers!

I was thinking about how I have to MC Mrs. and Arrow's wedding and how the only things I like to talk about are:
a) babes
b) dirty jokes
and
c) bad words
and how Mrs. family is mostly made up of Ukrainian priests.....
yikes!
I'll have to learn how to be ladylike and couth in the next couple months, I guess!


Also, I bought a computer off ebay yesterday and I AM VERY NERVOUS.
Also, I am doing my passport application. So I can travel around forever whenever I want. (just kidding I have to stay here to work more to pay off my computer and christmas and all of that.)

Aw man, I love costumes. Let's make a movie where I play a bride so I can wear a wedding dress! Dress up! Dress up!
(Mrs. can I borrow your wedding dress later to wear in a movie? hahaa costumes)

GOOD WIFE TIME. bye dudes

(oh also, I've decided to lose a bunch of weight, dye my hair really red again, put together my demo reel and become a super successful actor.
or I may just have a baby and move to the country and have tangles in my hair all day. 
I'm going to figure out a way to do everything. Good thing I'm still a young guy. Or at least look like a young guy!)

I miss Yulie.

why yes that is a christmas plaid shirt


Hello, I am a lumberjack voyageur hipster. I will cut down your Christmas tree for you!


Oh it's Sheriff Little Red Riding Hood.

Yeah we went out again for hallowe'en last night.
Went to the Laugh Sabbath show at Rivoli with Flash Gordon. We had some good laughs yeah actually a few great things to laugh at. There was candy on all the tables and we ate SO MUCH of it. Flash Gordon is going to see her nutritionist today so she was living it up. hahahaaaa aww man I've been feeling so sick from eating everything I shouldn't eat.
It seems unfair that lots of people just eat garbage and feel fantastic and I can't eat anything! Brutal!
Chocolate chocolate candy chocolate.

Oh yeah also one of the acts was incredibly over-the-top gross sexually like to an extreme that I've not experienced and I could not get over the fact that there were old people there and how offended they must have been.
This did not stop me from laughing hysterically forever, though. Just in an awkward way.


Why yes I did have a different mustache than the previous night. I think I lost that first mustache. This one clips into my nose! Kinda gross! I also got tired very quickly of having my hair under the hat. And of wearing a boy costume in general. It's weird not having a bit of cute to fall back on.


After Laugh Sabbath we went and picked up Dollface from her staff meeting and then cabbed it up to Rosedale for a Hallowe'en party where we were convinced we'd meet millionaires to buy us SO MANY THINGS.



I don't know what Dollface was exactly. Neither does she. An assassin? A spy? Demi Moore in Striptease? A member of the press missing a camera? Take your pick! She looked hot, anyway, that's probably the point. Hot yet not slutty, both of my friends actually. It was a Hallowe'en miracle!



Unfortunately the party was completely winding down and I insisted on leaving. Hahaa can't take me anywhere.

We did take lots of photos though to make it seem like we were having a good time!!
No actually I had a lot of fun. I love Flash Gordon and Dollface both of them are funnnny.





We brought some roses along with us from DF's workplace that her parents had given her so we were cabbing around the city with a huge bouquet of long-stem white roses basically. You can bet I gave them to people who I felt were deserving, that's for sure.

Props are the best!
Can't have a good party without good props pretty much!



Cabbed back to sanity by which I mean Ossington ended up at Commie visited our bud who works there and I bothered his friends who were sitting at the bar. Basically barged in on their conversation and gave them candy and roses I'm like the suavest dude ever pretty much, eh?
I don't think they were too annoyed I hope. I wasn't even totally blasted just feeling particularly belligerent, ya know?
I can be very determined about partying. 


I'm not going to post their photos though I thought about it. It's such a back and forth thing with this website like who wants their privacy protected? who doesn't really care?
You can write whatever you want about me wherever I don't have issues with being over-shared on the internet obviously. I feel something like people need to chill out about it but I can also see feeling a bit weird.
I like to respect people.
I mean, I'd like to respect people.



Did I ever tell you about the time when I had a boyfriend (I use the term boyfriend lightly, obviously) who thought I was insaaane for putting anything on the internet and one time he called me from his work number just to creep me out and pretend he'd found out all about me off the internet?
Good joke!
Just kidding it wasn't that good of a joke.
He was sort of a comedian seems like he could have thought of better. I considered telling you a bit more about him there and then linking to his websites but then he would SHIT BRICKS and plus we barely dated and we're still okay buds sort of except he thinks women shouldn't get to make dirty jokes and he's pretty religious. Also he didn't really like affection. BIZARRE.
Hmmmmmmmmm did I just tell this story already on here like really recently? Does anyone even read the words I write? WHO KNOWS.


This is our bud. He doesn't get privacy.

Okay then this morning I woke up and this was happening:



hahahaaawwwwwww.

were you lookin at my girl quit lookin at my girl




I kind of wish that I lived on the ground floor so that I'd be giving out candy right now I really want to see all the little babies in their costumes that's all.
I did see a cute little girl at Nirvana today and she had a cute dad and I was like "I think I'm ready to be a step-mum". Also watching babes interact with kids makes feel a bit insane. Whatever!

Nirvana has the ultimate worst service ever, hey? no but really. it's actually remarkable!
I think I was still drunk at our 4 p.m. brunch. I was also the only one who ordered a bloody mary. to be fair I had been dreaming about that bloody mary for about 1.5 hours prior to actually getting to brunch.



HALLOWE'EN HALLOWE'EN HALLOWE'EN.
ah man I had such a good time last night! Totally fucking did it up right. I laughed SO MUCH. that's how you know you're having fun. the laughing.



Started off at a parkdale house party with Mrs. and that crew hosted by miss Sub Rosa. I ate too many chips and spinach dip so gross I felt sick pretty quickly after that.
My friend who was dressed as Carmen Sandiego came and met me there. Pretty sweet costume but most especially because she acted the part as well. Actors are the best.





We then left to head to Dundas west thinking about hitting up Garrison as swag was there and he said it was fun but on the way we found a big plastic kid's wagon and so Carmen Sandiego was pulling me in it. We needed to get a cab though so we got one and the lovely cab driver let us put the wagon in the trunk!

FUCK YEAH, CAB DRIVER made my night.
so sweet.




We got deposited on Dundas a few blocks away so that Carmen Sandiego could pull me down the street hahahaaaa oh man did I love that I was laughing so hard.

We made Swag come out to see us also we went back and forth in on dundas for awhile but it was lined up so we couldn't go inside.



But that turned out fine because we went and met Norman at a house party basically in the park.
Carmen Sandiego and I took turns pulling each other in the wagon on the way there hahahaaa talking on your iphone while being pulled in a wagon is so silly!


oh yeah we found a bed on the road as well. We sat there for a spell.



We pulled up in front the house and we weren't sure if it was the right place so we yelled up at the people on the balcony and then one of them was like "is that meredith?" so classic! I had no idea who it was at all and they weren't responding. but then we went instead and found Norman and other people and then it turned out it had been Chris Locke yelling at me!
I love Chris Locke! He's too funny.
How the fuck he recognized me I'll never know. Ha, though also I went to drop off Dollface's keys at her work last night and forgot I was in costume and my fav door guy still recognized me. hahaaa I make such a good boy. I'm so sexy.



So, yeah, Carmen Sandiego and I stayed and partied forever.
We went out on the various balconies and climbed ladders up onto the roof. All smart activities like responsible people.

the house was so nice. seriously fucking nice. serious balconies. I'm very very jealous.



We told the one girl who lived there that she could keep the wagon but then when I left I felt like taking it home (I left rather abruptly after noticing that I was too drunk to be allowed around people anymore, actually I don't remember the last bits of interactions with a bunch of people. yikes) so I dragged it for a little while but then ended up depositing it in front of Violet's parents' house for some reason! hahaha ughh sorry parentssss.


I fell asleep wrapped around my computer and with my contacts in. I'm glad I slept for 8 hours because otherwise I would be more of a wreck today I'm pretty sure. What's with this week? it's fuckin' nuts, eh?

Also being in character last night was SO FUN and I got to say things like "Hold on I gotta pick my fuckin' dick up"  obviously.
and I got to leer at everyone pretty much.


Hallowe'en is so fun wearing costumes is the best. I don't know if I'm going to wear one tonight it's so cold out. Yeah I realize that it's actually Hallowe'en but still..
Also I think I lost my mustache

Me and Flash Gordon are going to go to this:

hahahaaaa good video that makes me want to go. not kidding.

OH YEAH I ALMOST FORGOT TO TELL YOU:
Chris Locke admitted to me that he thinks I'm funny.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome.

hallow hallow's eve



HAPPY HALLOWE'EN!

I'm very very happy that I have tomorrow fully off because for some reason instead of this week being a life-job working productivity week it has turned into an all-out shitshow of midsummer proportions.
I had people over after the bar last night (note, if you stock booze at your house your house will automatically become a party zone. which is fun if you like partyzones but pretty soon every glass in the house will be dirty) and we were up until like 7 a.m. or something silly like that I think they went out afterward actually pretty nutso.

We ate all the cheese and people were a bit displeased because I've run out of sweet tea vodka. Oh man sweet tea is so good.
I have such fun friends sometimes, eh?


Here is my costume from two years ago, I was a christmas elf:
 Fine, I realize you can't really see my costume. But my braid looks sweet.

From last year:
 I'm a ranch hand!
 JL was basically nothing. Just because you're wearing a leather jacket and you don't normally wear a leather jacket doesn't mean you're in costume. god.

More from this night here.
Man I am SO excited to wear my mustache again. I feel like it really really suits me.

Ha, my friend and I were joking about not having "committed to any parties" but really what we meant was we weren't invited to any....
I do have a couple of invitations now but boy do I ever not want to go to work beforehand... Hopefully it goes real quick and we get out early. I wonder if they'd let me wear my mustache... I bet no.

Not to keep just recycling content here but this from my blog two years ago I still think it's funny:

COSTUMES I THOUGHT ABOUT GOING AS:

A Wedding Vehicle
(dressed in white with the paper flowers in rows on me, a "just married" sign and tin cans trailing from my butt)

My Dad (circa 1983)
(Hahahahahahahah wearing a moustache and holding a dirty magazine and a cup 'o sperm)


hahaaaa I do kind of love costumes.  Good costumes are very impressive.
I want to meet up with Dayna tonight at some point specifically because she and her husband are THE BEST at costumes and hallowe'en. No, really.
Maybe I will steal some photos from her later to show you.
Good thing she found a husband who loves hallowe'en too, hey?
Now I just need to find a Christmas-husband.
MMMHMMM.
