I saw Slumdog Millionaire tonight. It was really really great - and if anyone is looking for a good movie I would forsure recomend this one

i rely a bit too heavily on alcohol and irony
Sometimes I think that we all float around in bubbles.... and you might think you floated for a really long time in a really good bubble... and then it pops
and you end up back tracking
this blog isn't really meant to be understood.
I think that I always look for the worst in people, and Brennan always looks for the best. I think this is really naive of him, and I am really jealous of it. I wouldn't say I am a pessimist - it is more actual people that I have no faith in. I think that Bren doesn't have any hidden agendas so when people do things, he always thinks that they just did them - because it was a whim -
I know from experience that this right here is just the calm before the storm
I feel it coming.

I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today
i have decided with the new year less that two weeks away that I will make a set of top ten lists
today
top ten quotes I have read this year (not from this year, but have influenced my year)
10) They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. -Andy Warhol
9) When I first moved to New York and I was totally broke, sometimes I would buy Vogue instead of dinner. I just felt it fed me more - Carrie Bradshaw
8) For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. - Audrey Hepburn
7) Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the colour of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes, we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes, we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbour and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes, we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "we shall overcome". Yes, we can.
A man touched down on the Moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes, we can. - Barack Obama
6) I was not trying to be shocking, or to be a pioneer. I wasn't trying to change society, or to be ahead of my time. I didn't think of myself as liberated, and I don't believe that I did anything important. I was just myself. I didn't know any other way to be, or any other way to live. - Bettie Page
5) To me, New York was Jackson Pollock sipping vodka and dripping paint onto a raw canvas - Edie Sedgwick
4) Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before... He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. - Kurt Vonnegut (this one is for brennan)
3) We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime. It's easy. The first girl I ever loved was someone I knew in sixth grade. Her name was Missy; we talked about horses. The last girl I love will be someone I haven't even met yet, probably. They all count. But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define how you classify what love is supposed to feel like. These are the most important people in your life, and you’ll meet maybe four or five of these people over the span of 80 years. But there’s still one more tier to all this; there is always one person you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of these loveable qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable. The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else, and they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really, want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else.
— Chuck Klosterman
2) Grace is what matters. In anything. Especially life, especially growth, tragedy, pain, love, death. About people, that's what matters. That's a quality I admire very greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly; it keeps you from destroying things too foolishly; it sort of keeps you alive and keeps you open for more understanding. - Jeff Buckley
1) A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do. - Bob Dylan

what's the difference between me and you
Yesterday at work, one of the people i work with stolls in and says
"I just went to the corner store to buy smokes, and i couldn't find my debit card, and the guy was like - oh don't worry about it, come back and pay me when you find it"
and then she laughed and said "ya right, like i'm ever going back to that place"
I don't think I would do that
I think that right there is a character flaw.

Aldo shoes = bad
I have been looking for a pair of boots for a very long time and this weekend I find the perfect pair at aldo. BUT they only have my size at a store in Toronto. Today I call that store and ask if they have my size they tell me they don't. So i call a few other stores looking and they all come back with the same answer - its at that one store in TO. So the store on Queen w. which was infinitely helpful gives me another number for that store and i call back.... this is how my conversation went with the teenager that worked there:
Me:hey can you look up a pair of shoes for me
kid: sure whats the name
me: Nanzie-98 in a 39
kid: what is the code number
me: 13-5-4
kid: one second
wait for a minute
kid: (giggling) that shoe doesn't exist
me: so you are trying to say i called 5 aldos and they all knew the shoe, but you are saying they don't exist
kid: you already called here and we don't have them, don't call again
me: um what is your name
kid: why
me: can i speak to your manager
kid giggling hands me to a key holder
keyholder: (giggling) hi can i help you
me: what is your name
kh: annie, is there something I can help you with
me: what is that boys name
kh: why
me: because I want to know it, and I would like to speak to a manager
kh: michael
me: when will your manager be in?
kh: i don't know
me: I will call back tomorrow then
when i am trying to buy $200 boots, i don't need two twenty year olds being heros
fuck that shit

love cat
My mother is a really funny person. She sees things her way, and only her way - which i think may be a result of my grandparents babying her (up until present day). When I was younger this really used to bother me - if she needed pepper in her soup so did i, if she didn't like something, obviously i couldn't like it either .... its always been her way or the highway sort of deal... i think i am making this sound a lot worse than it is - basically when I was younger and trying to assert some Independence it really got under my skin, but now that I have a good grasp on who I am I find her child like demeanor endearing, and in most cases pretty hilarious.
for example ... i had this conversation with my mother last week (RE: her getting new kittens)
Mom - Michelle, the kittens were born, and they are sextuplets
Michelle- I think that you mean there was a litter of six
mom - no they were all born together, so sextuplets.
michelle- but they aren't identical are they?
mom- michelle, not all sextuplets are identical
michelle- okay fine
just another day with the norton family

fuck santa
(this is stolen)
I hate Christmas.
When I make this known, people look at me like I’ve just said “I like to eat babies,
they’re yummy.” Case in point: the other day I was walking through the convocation
mall, and I saw a gigantic Christmas tree being erected. Involuntarily, the left corner
of my mouth turned up in a snarl. Some girl-her chubby rosy cheeks glowing and sweet
knitted scarf flapping-looked aghast at me like I was the cruel and bitter epitome of
Ebenezer Scrooge himself. A young, female, and Jewish Ebenezer Scrooge, that is.
But I really can’t help it. The feeling I had looking at that tree was visceral and
overwhelmingly negative. Why? Because it represents one thing to me: It’s Christmas
time for everyone-like it or not. It represented the myopic and incredibly tedious view
that so many of you have that everyone celebrates Christmas. Or at least, that
everyone must get into “the spirit of the season.” That really, really steams my milk.
I suppose the logic goes that since to a lot of people Christmas isn’t about religion, and
that since it’s “just a time for family” it shouldn’t offend anyone. Wrong-o. I have my
own traditions, my own history, and I have absolutey no desire to have Christmas
shoved at me every moment.
The ironic thing is, I’m not bitter because I don’t get to celebrate it. Since my dad is
a convert to Judaism, every year I’ve done “the Christmas thing” with his family.
Yes, I lived every kid’s dream: twice the presents, twice the holidays! And unlike a lot
of Jews, I have never once wished that my (immediate) family was Christian, that we
had a tree, that I could sing “Oh Holy Night.” Having experienced the richness of my
own tradition, I never felt bereft in any way. To me, Christmas always seemed like
something of a pathetic spectacle compared to Pesach (Passover) which-at least for my
family-involved the retelling of what sometimes seemed half our oral history, a 5 course
meal, and hours of singing, celebrating, and drunken fun, all embellished with traditions
developed over 4,000 years of history. That other Jews would envy Christians at Christmas
time is simply a reflection of their spiritual poverty and lack of education-but that’s another
issue.

I listen to the most embarrassing music on my ipod....which really had no impact on my life because I would only listen to it at the gym - but ever since I moved to Toronto I always have it on me ... I walk everywhere and my ipod does too. The problem with Toronto is that everyone is very close together, and I listen to my ipod very loud..... i am fairly sure people stop at red lights beside me and double take.... i just love snoop dogg and hanson

As promised blog readers... my two nights out with feist...
I would also like to point out the fine young chap in grey jeans an plaid shirt beside feist... that would be Afie Jurvanen.... I have asperations to marry him.... le sigh

when the month changes number, it is time to go
If you read this blog with any regularity you will know one thing about me. I am a feist SUPER FAN.
The Riddler Writes...
Wednesday, October 29, 2008
In Toronto, out came a sign
Of wood, nails, it wasn't fine
Last night, it said there's been a heist
A stage was took, stolen by Feist
A crowd arrived, a line-up made
It might be time for another raid
A Queen still true, the King a spouse
In Came Ron, a real full House
A lady watches, ten times an ant
If after eight: late, late, pant, pant
So on Tuesday I get home from work around 330 and I am exhausted. I am supposed to meet bren at 5pm at church and queen. I am super crampy, and didn't sleep the night before at all, but for some reason, i decide to brave the freezing temperature and walk to meet him. On my way down queen i notice a chalk board outside of the Rivoli which reads:
Live Tonight
Feist with member of broken social scene, hayden, and friends
I obviously almost die right there, and go inside and snag some wrist bands for judy, bren, and myself. So we go to the gig and it is a song circle with the promised friends, and they play from 9-11... it was really entertaining and amazing.... it was pretty great to see my favourite musical artist of all time play a back room of a bar ... considering there were only about 100 people in there I felt pretty lucky.
So today, I am exhausted x 10 because I am running off three nights of no sleep now. Around 630 I google 'secret feist show' to see if any pictures pop up (because i can't find my camera cord, but i will find it, and share these pictures with you). So there are no pictures to be found on the web, but this poem on feist's website does come up:

So obviously, I deduct that she is playing a secret show at The Cameron House around 8... and not to be late. So bren and I show up around 730 expecting the same thing as the day before. We walk in and there is a line forming so we get in. We find out that there is a back room and they are letting 45 people in. So they do a line count and bren and i are numbrs 44 and 45. I couldn't make this shit up. It was so beautiful. I have video and pictures for you all. It was probably the best concert I have ever seen in my life. She is so beautiful in talented. I was blown away all over again.

you say i'm crazy, i got your crazy
I have decided to start blogging again on a regular basis. I am fairly sure only 3 people read this, and it has become some sort of a vauge diary for me. I like going back and seeing how i was doing this time last year... and i don't want to take that away from myself next year. SO, I am coming back people.
Toronto is treating me well. I really can't complain. I have had a weird few months though, some major life changes. Ending a long term employment - moving - having a best friend move a pond away.... it is all very different now. I know this is nothing new, but i feel EXTREEEEEMLY stagnant lately. I know that only I can make that better... I mean sitting around thinking 'next year will be better' really doesn't get anything done... I just think I have become complacent, which was once a huge fear, and now just sort of feels right. I think back to when I used to go out every night of every weekend.... and sure I had a lot of fun - but I am not sure I miss it. I lived in hamilton for two years (post university graduation), and in those two years I met a lot of new people who were really fun, and exciting, but they really were not real friends. In the end, I am fairly certain I walked away from that situation with a broken heart, and the real friends I had walking into it. So, why should I rejoin that world, or a similar world here in Toronto? So that I can party with a bunch of fake people, and fall in love with a self obsessed loser? I think my complacent, homebody knitting lifestyle looks way way way more appealing..... but then I think I am wasting my pretty on TLC and Brennan

the good girls keep diaries, the bad girls never have the time
So after a few weeks living in Toronto I have been able to make the distinction between residents and tourists. I go to school at Ryerson which most of you know is right at Young and Dundas Square. Residents try to weave in and out of the tourists who never look at the city through their own eyes, rather through their camera screens. They all walk around aimlessly not looking where they are going ... but always pointing up with their digital cameras. It is really absurd to watch/weave around.
That being said, Toronto is treating me well. It is nice to have a walk to school instead of hours of sitting in traffic.
I know I have been slacking on the blog end of my life lately, but honestly nothing is new. I live in toronto.... i go to clinical placement on tue-wed, i go to campus the other days - I am in search of a part time job - thats about all.
No news is good news... or so I hear
patience... I promise some spicy blogs soon

we clean up and now it's time to learn
At 23 years old, i think this might be the first year I am not nervous about starting school - i am COMPLETELY apathetic about the whole situation.....
everyone please pray that I have a way better year than last year.
So, It is official, Brennan and I are moving on September 13th - it feels so real now .... we have this 'adult' place that we are decorating properly - and this is definitely it for me - i will never move back in with my parents again...I'm pretty apathetic about this situation as well... Not in the sense that I am not excited for a life change, and a new place, and moving in with Bren - but in the sense that I am not nervous, or sad about leaving my childhood home (again !) .... maybe living in London for four years has cured me of all my prior hang ups... OR maybe i am turning 24 in three days and i'm finally jaded

ps- if anyone knows of jobs in toronto pleeeease hook me up

tonight my ghost will ask your ghost 'where is the love?'
MAN! so i've been working at metro almost non stop this past week because we got ALL new stock in (in case you are in the area - it is beautiful!! like BEAUTIFUL and if you are in the need of some new duds - mens or womens ... come on in)
but the point is how disappointed i am in people - i mean metro is a local indie store ... the owner puts a lot of himself into this place. On saturday a girl stole a new dress we got in ... and today i thankfully caught a girl trying to leave the store with a hat.... like seriously, if you are going to steal, go to american eagle, or the gap .... stealing from an independent local store is pretty low.... fucking twenty year old hamilton girls - i'm unimpressed.
in other news...... brennan and i finally FINALLY found a condo and we bought it on friday - we move in september 8th! so fast eh? im pretty excited... pictures to come
i start school in one week... wtf...... oh yeah i used wtf

après moi le déluge
before 8 am today I was told this by a 10 year old:
1) There is a giant monster in lake ontario. He is there because a whale and a giant squid had sex. This giant monster only has one eye.
2)
Jeremy: Maddie isn't going to camp this week
Michelle: I know, do you know why she doesn't want to go?
Jeremy: Well in March she was all about going to sailing camp, but now apparently she is a completely different person *eye roll*
i have to keep a straight face during all of this because he is being completely serious

Brennan and I are buying a condo. This process is much like trying to find a girlfriend/boyfriend on the Internet.

I have a good feeling about this week though... Internet condos you will be mine!

homeboy wears combat boots to the beach
“Boys are like purses. You're always gonna have that one boy that you're always comfortable with and you know you'll always kind of like. That's your purse that you wear everywhere. Then you have that gorgeous bag that you want everyone to see you with but the gorgeous bag is usually an asshole or costs a lot of money. Then you have those other purses that you really like but you really don't want to be seen with.”

So the other day I was talking to my friend Judy in Ottawa... and she shared this story with me... and subsequently I have been allowed to share it with you.
So Judy and Esther have had this beater car for years named Heidi... Heidi would shake if you went over 110 and had a tape deck. Heidi was aqua blue and overall a glorious ride. Through the years Heidi has been dying slowly, and over the last month she took a turn for the worst. So Esther got a new job, and a new car - so when Heidi broke down again, she was layed to rest. Judy supervised (and cried) as the tow truck driver took Heidi away. Judy asked the tow man where Heidi was going, and he told her to the dump yard, which made Judy even sadder .... this all was conveyed to their mother later that night. So the next day Judy gets a call from her mom saying that someone actually wanted to buy Heidi and fix her up... Judith although an optimist sees through this, and asks Esther if this is true- and as she suspected, her mom fabricated this story in a last ditch effort to help ease the death of Heidi.... we had a good laugh.
Soooooo

Heather and I were talking the other day and it came up that I had recently purchased a beautiful day planner for the next school year at chapters. The funny thing is that it is totally useless right now because it doesn't have room for the summer, the first date in this planner is september 1, 2008... I just bought it because i always hate my planners and this one really caught my eye.
So when I tell Heather about this purchase she describes a day planner she has recently purchased from chapters ....
yes it has been confirmed

outside really isn't for me
So I have been watching The Real World Denver lately and there is this really prissy girl named Brooke who is doing really terrible in this outward bound adventure trip.... it has made me reflect on how I really don't get along with nature. I don't camp, I don't cabin, I don't like bugs, or being cold..
... I like adventures and water and being warm...it made me think about how Brennan and I were in Hawaii last summer hiking through the same rainforest they shot Jurassic Park in... and I complained the whole time and said it looked like dundas...... I love brennan forputting up with that shit - look at how mad I was in these pictures...
I have made the decision to be less prissy this year...

I have this character fault. I feel like it is my responsibility to point out other people's hickeys.
Whenever I see someone, even a stranger, i feel like i have to point and say "whoa, look at your hickey"... i can't even help myself, i get shocked and something comes over me.... i am trying to get a hold of it ... but until then, do not come around me with a hickey.
So I went and saw Kanye West last week... it was pretty rad actually - Lupe Fiasco, NERD, and Rhiana opened for him - all the acts were incredible.... i felt like a huge loser because everyone in the crowd was wicked cool - i had an amazing time though.
this is all i have - i work all the time
... oh i bought a new sewing machine today
i love it

february, april said - that half of the year, well we'll never be friends
Heather and I had the privilege of sharing Feist and Hayden with about 1500 people at the University of Buffalo's Center for the Preforming Arts. It was more amazing than I could have imagined - which is saying a lot since... well if you read this blog you know that I love Feist, and she totally exceeded my expectations. She sounded better live than she does on her records .... I was totally blown away. Hayden put on a great show as well. He is always so awkward and Canadian, and I totally enjoy him.

well sometimes - like everytime he breathes, I embrace my routine
I am not sure how many of you can relate to this in the present, but I am sure most people can remember a time in which they did relate.... here goes..
My parents have lived in the same house my whole life, and therefore I have used the same shower for my entire life, minus the four years I lived in London. I use my shower time not only to shower, but to think about everything... its like the ultimate in alone time ..... anyways - I think I should have just move out for good instead of going away for four years and coming back.
Sometimes I will be thinking about really serious things in the shower and remember how I used to think about fights I was having in camp in that very same shower...
it makes me feel old
ugh
t-4 months until the big move

I wear my sunglasses at night
You know what I don't understand? People that wear sunglasses at inappropriate times. It just looks ridiculous. I feel as though they think that it makes them look cool, or wealthy... or something... but really when I see it all I can think is : you are a huge tool.
I can't barely stand sun glasses when I need them.... if I wore them at night, I would just end up bumping into things

five million and fourty naughty shortie
So true story:
I shared this story with Monica a few months ago and she thought it was funny.... and it popped into my head again this morning when i tried on this hat i own.
I loved this boy once. I bought a hat from Banana Republic.... it cost way too much but it was when that whole knit Beret thing was juuuuust coming in... i couldn't find one anywhere else.... it didn't sit on my head right, but i just wanted it. So I wore this monstrous hat out and that boy commented on it in a joking way..... later that night when I went to his house he told me I looked like Sean Paul.
I haven't worn the hat since... well until this morning when I tried it on - its true
Sean Paul.

if god were one of us
Today when leaving my school, Monica and I reminised about our time in that hell building. Basically we are on a remote Ryerson campus in Scarborough beside the UofT Scarborough. After this year we are downtown full time. It has been the most fucked up experience of my life.... basically it is a sketchy place, and the teachers are fucking shitty people....
this really has nothing to do with my story but whatever.
The only saving grace of this place is that the building is brand new and beautiful. It is made out of all windows and its shaped like a rectangle that is hollowed out. the hollowed out portion is the library at the bottom but open all the way up so that douche bags can throw papers down.
still with me? have the visual?
So monica and i are on the third floor earlier in the year waiting for a head to toe evaluation - both of us HUGE hurt sacks.... i hadn't really had much sleep because ... well.... lets put it this way - i had dried cum in my hair that i only realized was there when i was waiting for monica to meet me in this hallway .... and monica was still a little drunk from the night before. So we are laying down in the hall when (and i am not kidding) a piece of paper falls from this hollowed out sky and lands gently in front of us. Monica picks it up, and it is a step by step procedure on how to preform a head to toe assessment. The two of us read it over, walk into the room and ace our evaluation
To this day we maintain it was god.

This morning I was watching Bridgit Jones' Diary while doing some school assignment I still have not completed. During this time I came to the conclusion that one of my favourite parts of this chick flick is the fight scene.... irony?

mac books start your engines
I am totally into this new dj/electronic/'yada-yada call it what you wish' music these days. That being said, I have decided to make a top 7 list of things you should listen to, if you don't already listen to it... why 7?, it sounds better.
7) Health - oh man. That is all I can say .... I can listen to their self-titled album front to back over and over... it is a little harder hitting than the rest - but give it a go !
6) Hot Chip - dorky UK boys delivering dance jams in a fun way. Their latest album Made In The Dark, is very pop with edge.... i love it.
5) Holy Fuck - for some reason I had an aversion to this band because I had it in my head that they were heavy metal.... the answer is no. Holy Fuck is a breath of fresh air.... I can't get enough... they have my toronto electronic heart. Their 9 song album is fantastic, support homegrown talent!
4) Daft Punk - Too obvious? Paris talent that retook me after last summer's tour. They blew me away live. It is by far the best show I have ever been to. If you know me that is a heavy statement. I can't really tell you to only listen to one album... but in the spirit of the live show, pick up Alive... share what I experienced!
3) Crystal Castles - very electronic - very dancey- very rad.... Their self titled album is a good buy - i really enjoy them.
2) Justice - Daft Punk '08.... a paris duo that is breathing new life into this music. I had the opportunity to see them recently and they were phenominal .... Their Cross album has a lot of buzz surrounding it right now, and it is all earned.
1) Junior Boys - If you do not own a junior boys album... drop everything --- run to a cd store. Hamilton grown, internationally loved...So This Is Goodbye may be repeated more on my ipod than Feist.... *gasp* ... plus I think that Matt and I are soul mates.... they are playing Hamilton April 18th! catch them while they are in town....swooooooon!
FIN!!!!

I was talking to this friend of mine the other day, and she said something along the lines of:
I am being really careful in that part of my life because I feel like I am up for something terrible to happen and I want to avoid it

it got me thinking.... do we all think like that? Are we all waiting for this impending doom?
i think i am too preoccupied with school and work to wait for doom, i just pray for sunny days
this blog is lame

So Bren and I went to see Justice last week. We were close to the stage, and I looked behind me to see the most amazing thing in the world.....
I turned around and layed my eyes on a couple dressed in jeans and a tshirt from the neck down, hard core grinding.... the punch line?
They were both wearing fullout, metal optimus prime helmets....
it was beautiful

killer queen
Yesterday when I got to metro I realized that I was wearing too much makeup - or maybe its the fact that when I wear bright red lipstick I feel like a tool - either way.
I wear really really dark eye makeup - mostly black actually, which works well when I am tanned, but right now I am this sort of milky skim milk white/blue colour most of the time, which as attractive as it sounds, its horrible. Pair this skin tone with my black eye shadow and red lipstick, and I look like a character out of a tim burton flick.
whatever.
So yesterday heather and bren came to visit me at work and my makeup was fine.... sometime inbetween that and getting into my car i managed to rub my eyes and get black all over my forehead and my nose... that means I was working like that - and people just totally didnt say anything. I think i actually looked so nuts that people didn't want to say anything in fear that i meant to do that.
So, public service annoucment - I am not crazy, and if I have smudged eyeliner all over the place, give me a heads up! pllllleeeasse

I love how I feel geriatric at the age of 23. I am so busy with school these days that going out for me needs to be low key because I wake up so early to go to school/or do school work. I didn't see bren last night, so this morning when hes like lets do something - I was like alright, even though I should be strapped to my desk learning .... BUT i said, lets do something low key (so that i can be a nerd linger and hit the hay at 11pm)... to which he replys - okay, low key, lets go somewhere where there is live music and martinis....... you see blog readers here is my geriatric gene.... my idea of a low key night is some johnny depp rental and my knitting .... not me in a dress drinking martinis....
i need to get more hip
also today i have to take my car for emissions testing - it never ends - cars are huge huge huge money sucks.... i knew this - but in 2008 i put 600 worth of new tires on - then almost 700 worth of breaks - and then 50 bucks for an oil change - and now this ..... soon i will be taking in food donations, but i can give you rides in my sweet car

I am a moron. Plain and simple. I had the biggest, most embarrassing blonde moment of all time today.
I had a conversation with an old friend of mine last night.... one thing we talked about is how a person i know gets super loaded and text msgs me dirty dirty messages. Well karma took a bite out of me today. I decide while bored at 11am that it would be a good idea to text this to my old friend:
"Why don't you text me dirty messages?? .... WHYYYY???"
about 3 minutes later i recieve this:
"Thank you for using tellus text message land line service, your message was delivered"
yes ladies and gents, a computer voice delivered my text message to his house line.....

just amazing

everyday people
I just threw a 16 year old girl out of the house i work at ... it is midnight... i am wearing boy cut underware and an old band tshirt (EDIT: if you read the last blog about the under-age boning, then that is the girl i just kicked out) Thoughts on 16 year old girls that are allowed to sleep over for days at a time and allowed to be out on a tuesday at midnight?
saturday night is my last day here ... i count the minutes to my freedom
also... for some reason i am ALL about sly & the family stone right now
ALL about it

push it real good (duhn duhn duhn duhn duhn dunnn)
Okay - so here is the deal. I look after three kids ages 16, 13,13 (yeah yeah 13, 13 TWINS). Moving on... I think we remember the 'walk-in-on-the-16yearold-masterbating' debacle of '07.....i thought that would be the worst of it..... the thing with my life is that if i think it can't get worse, i need to hold on because it can and it does.
So I am staying with the kids all week because their dad is away. For the last two nights the oldest kid has had his girlfriend stay over night... they have slept in the finished basement... he knows that i know that this isn't kosher. I know that he knows that I am not going to say anything because he is 16 and it isn't really all that bad in the whole scheme of it all (that and I ain't his mother).
Anyways this girl is a lossssser, and is trash. I say this because she comes off as this... it isn't as though I just saw her... she really seems lacking.... whatever. So 16yearold boy dumps his long time girlfriend two days before valentine day and has been attached to new loser girl ever since......flash forward to today Feb 17/08 - Feb 12/08 = 5 days
five days
I run downstairs to offer them some dinner and i get and eye full of 16 year old ass boning his 5 day old girlfriend.....
oh yea
I had a condom chat with him about an hour later.
these are the days of my life.

this life is all a dream
So I think I have spent the last year trying to get over Feist's latest record The Reminder... and the year before trying to get over her record Let It Die
needless to say I am a fairly large Feist fan....
Which would explain my favourite preformance of this years grammys to be the one and only :
notable mentions to tina turner and beyonce doing proud mary .... and kanye west, partly because he had daft punk there with him, and partly because someone singing a song for their late mother hits a heart string or two...

scratch the terror and begin to believe you're strong
my dog punched me in the face.... usually this would seem impossible... but if you have met darwin dylan you would know that nothing is impossible.
now i have three tiny cuts... one above my lip, one one the top right of my lip, and one on the top left of my lip..... i look like i have a cluster of cold sores .....
i am so hot right now

i come off blonde even in digital form
therefore, i take back my internet love.... but just for the day

Oh what force on earth could be weaker than the feeble strength of one
So this has been a very interesting week so far.... interesting in the sense that I met John K. Samson, and saw the weakerthans preform twice.... so by interesting I mean FANTASTIC.
Fantastic until I spent 2 hours standing outside with cold, wet feet.... when heather and I finally got back to the car, and ripped off the wet boots and socks, I thought I had done serious damage to one of my toes.... so then we dreamed up how terrible it would be if I had to get a toe amputated because I was too cold at a weakerthans show..... and how Canadian that would be...
in any case
all is well.... my toes are all alive
but my feet are still cold....
OH oh ! heather and I also stopped at the fresh on queen, and there is the most beautiful girl in the world working there... and she is dating the cook... they are perfect
i am weird
le sigh

digital love
the internet is an amazing thing. I am not sure what I did without it.... but considering I didn't have it until the 9th grade, I am sure I got along just fine. But as i sit here procrastinating my paper at 8:36 am I am talking to a friend who is teaching english in south korea, and another friend who is visiting australia....
and i think
i love you technology!

Is it weird that Heath Ledger's death is really affecting me?
I hate seeing it all over the TV, and news, and radio, and and and
I wish everyone would just leave him and his poor family alone.
i feel like i am living out of a duffle bag
le sigh
