Fifty-Eight

Ontario has regurgitated yet another one of Montreal's finest. I get my best friend back next week, in a bitter-sweet sort of way. Everyone should either be filled with excitement or dreading that once again they will be completely ignored as the two of us go back into our anti-social bubble when in a group of people. None the less, life is sweet because of it, and hopefully her life goes back to almost perfect relatively fast. The bright side of us being idiots and moving away to another province, is that we're getting "bitter" tattooed in our lips next week. The cat's in heat, lock up your dominant males. I've never seen a kitten so attracted to feet before in my entire life. Yes, I chose to write about this. Why? Because that is JUST how exciting my life is. Perhaps you would like a brief summary? I work 40 hours a week fooling fellow employees that I am hard at work, when in reality I discuss the imaginary life i wish i actually had, online with the same (greatest) three people every day. I go unnoticed and everyone there thinks "receptionist" is the equivalent to "slave". I greet people, I don't bend over backwards for them. I live in my room from Monday-Thursday, force myself to wake up at the same bloody hour every morning. Come home, make dinner and fall asleep by eight o'clock without the slightest bit of trouble in doing so. My bank account is currently at $0.48, and as soon as it's filled, it's emptied. I wish I had listened to Meg and Andrew when I said I was moving, and my valentine's day this year is going to consist of Meg and I dipping into bottles of red wine while watch romatic comedies and bitterly commenting on how the characters who fall in love in movies are assholes and shitbags. I know I said life is pretty sweet before ranting, but eveything has it's shit end to the stick, right? My life during the week is the shit end. I would like to escape this summer, someone please take me somewhere, suggest a destination, anything. Apt. 28, I am taking an indefinite break from you starting in June.

I miss when you used to make everything feel normal.
I have no one to talk some sense into me anymore.
You always made everything even out.
I really wish you didn't leave.

I think it finally hit me...
they're gone.

My apologies for not keeping this thing updated, but I have actually been busy since New Years. Between work and a constant flow of friends visiting, I've managed to have somewhat of a life. Along with that, I've been planning two cancer benefit events (which i'll tell you about later) and just got a job with Soundproof Magazine, where I will be writing and taking pictures.

It looks like i'll be quite busy until springtime, which I definitely need; these climate changes every week are not only a tease but are leaving with me colds every second weekend.

Getting back to the cancer benefit show, I started planning it in the beginning of Janurary, so i'm not very far along yet, but it looks like it will be at Le National (sometime in April or May). As for the bands, I don't have a definite answer, but the ones that have said it's a possibility, are some of my favorites! The second event to follow the show, will be "With Locks of Love..." I've gathered some hairdressers (and i'm still looking for more) and for 5$ they will be giving hair cuts and the hair will be donated to Locks of Love. Once more things are set in stone, I'll tell you all about it. In the meantime, i need all the help I can get, so if you think you can contribute in some sort of way, let me know!

Having Pj here was a blast, and partying with Meg all weekend brought me back. Now if I can just have a little more Andrew Mcgrath in my life, I'd be all set. (call me when you're back in town, dickwad...i miss you)

Also, has anyone seen Mouth to Mouth with Ellen Page and Jim Sturgess? it came out in about 2005. I really want to see it but can't find it anywhere. help?

I know I'm a day late, but happy birthday, Baba.

It's 6:30am, on my first day back to work, thus being my official first day of 2008. I have no idea what day we are, but all I know is, I don't wanna go back. Being off work for this little amount of time has been amazing. I got to spend time in Toronto and see some friends that I haven't seen in quite some time. I even got to show jay around Barrie, and surprisingly, he had a good time. It was a nice way to end the year, the year that i thought would never end.
New Year's Eve was amazing, and it was long overdue for Meg and I to have a NYE like that.
Now here we are, starting all over again. Perhaps i need to up myself one on the accomplishments for this year? Maybe a little more direction in what i want to do with my life? I've learned a lot in the ending of this year, and I hope to use that going into this one.

I quit (or atleast I am making an attempt. It's been 2 full days)

pj is in town for a few days, i'm excited for some hangouts. that's the first exciting event of 2008. more to come i hope.
