A top ten list of things on the brain:
1. Money is "ghey" especially when you don't have any, and you're waiting for someone else to pay up.
2. I can't seem to shake this almost-a-cold. Sore throats, raspy voices (painful, though sexayyyy) and phlem (eewww!) are annoying. Honestly body: Just get sick or get well so this can be over with! FOR REALZZ
3. Crafting is awesome, mail is awesome, combining the two is awesome-est.
4. I need to do laundry. (not interesting, but it's on the brain)
5. I need to get groceries. (see above)
6. I really want to meet some more new people in Toronto. Sure, my friends are the bomb diggity and unbeatable, but it's a big city full of adventure and possibilities!
7. Not having a crush on someone is boring. (I know this is good for me, and I don't want a bf right now...but that doesn't change the fact that it is BORRRR-INGGGGG)
8. I need to go dancing again/more. Sunday night was such a tease!
9. 2 months until Dougie comes home to visit! (8 weeks makes it sound sooner)
10. I need to get out and enjoy this fall weather before it's gone! UGHHH HARVEST ADVENTUREZZZ
wow, this is pretty uninteresting. Better to be uninteresting than dramatic, oui?

Saturday, October 6, 2007
Something I love about Saturday afternoons is sleeping in until whenever I want (because I have no obligations to anyone but myself! wahoo!) and then making breakfast which i eat in bed, and the cuddle with my roomies watching tv. It is pretty much the best thing everrrrr.
Also, E! plays 4 back-to-back episodes of the simple life on Saturdays so I just watch that and laugh at how hilarious Nicole Richie is and then eventually I roll out of bed and do errands.
Today on the docket:
-laundry
-groceries
-tidying
-write some letters
-make corn bread (yum!!)
In addition to this, i will probably have a wicked nap, and be super lazy even though I am trying to get in shape and fit into my old clothes again. I get the feeling that laying in bed all day and then eating homemade baked goods is probably the worst thing i could be doing right now, but i have already lost 4lbs so i am almost back into my old duds, so what is one lazy saturday??
so anyways, last night i had a spaz attack so my make myself feel better i bought some cheeba (i had been good all week too!), a bottle of organic wine, and a ring pop! Honestly, ring pops are so random and fun, if you are ever having a bad day and thinking about getting some chocolate or something to cheer you up, try a ring pop instead. nothing will make a sad girl smile more so then a huge candy ring.
so i smoke some cheeba and am sitting on the deck reading the new nylon and what do you know?? Spencer comes home all drunk and we have an awesome hilarious heart to heart on the deck while we drink more and wait for our love (colleen) to come home so we can all be cute together. Later, Leo and chris came down and we got sloppy and went on an adventure (go figure!) and ate some street (veggie) meat, and walked forever and ever until we finally got back to my house and all passed out watching batman in my gigantic cozy bed. How cute and funny and hilarious.
This weekend is going to be so great!
It is obviously off to a good start, but tonight is going to kick ass because I am hanging out with Derek and Christine and having a tattoo consultation, then coming back home where colleen and spencer are having friends over and I can finally meet some of their friends too!
Tomorrow I am going to Oakville and having tea with kalan for his birthday, going to JC's for an adorable invader zim/popcorn/big brother hangout with Jo and Jamie, and then to Ann Gale's house for Thanksgiving dinner and $3 wine. Oh! and Adrian (jo's dad) will be there! yay! After dinner I am being picked up and taken to Waterloo where I will be spending the night at Becky's moms since I have been invited there for dinner on monday night. sooo sweet. apparently we are going to "phil's" (a bar with dancing and 1.75 drinks...think retro night at the marquee circa 2003) which I am sooo stoked for.
This weekend is jam-packed, but I love long weekends, harvest time, and friends.
Next week colleen and I are having a craft night!! VIP only so you cuties will get your invites soon enough!
tralala, i miss my dog a lot but all and all, things are pretty nice right now.
picture update coming soon!

no one sleeps yet...
today is such a weird day.
today is you-know-who's birthday, so i have kinda got that on the brain and it bothers me. It's normal, it's expected, but it's distracting.
so work (although going well) was a bit bunk today. There is this queen there who overreacts to things which makes things tough sometimes since i was starting to get confident in taking initiative with things myself, and now i feel a bit daunted. I also kinda bunged up a few things in front of the head honcho boss (even though they are debatable and my actual boss couldn't have cared less) but none-the-less....distractions.
this office thing is kinda weird. although i am still working in a visual environment i am finding my attention to visual details to be touch and go. Usually i think and remember things visually first and foremost, and to have that natural inclination be on the fritz is throwing me for a loop.
also, today on my ride home from work i swerved to avoid a car (i need a bell) and i hit a pot hole and popped my tire on my bike. UGHHHH. hopefully i will fix it tonight and if not i have a fancy day at work tomorrow so i was planning on taking transit anyways.
hmm
one thing i AM happy about today is that the new minus the bear cd is soooo fucking good and i am seeing them on monday!!! FUCK YESSSSS also, i am going to see "we will rock you" on jes's birthday with jes, patty and sharai!! talk about a hot bunch of babes on the town!
sounds like trouble...
i am really happy about my friendships i have in my life right now. there was a fritz recently but i am going to patch it (much like my tire) and make things picture perfect again. i love my second cup and O.G. friends. also, ms. BECKY's birthday is this weekend and i am so pumped for the cocktail party and for FUCKING NUIT BLANCHE! oh man....i honestly think it will be the best night ever.
no expectations though.
they only thing i can do to keep up this pace is to not expect anything of anyone. that way you're never dissapointed.
lets keep it goin' till the morning....

I would like to add to the previous post:
another thing i dislike about toronto:
-Random sketchy meth addicted ravers bursting into my living room.
yeah, I would that is pretty weak too.

life in t.o.
So we are pretty much settled in t.o. now (with exceptions being the plethora of house guests we have been bombarded with once the house was open for business...i love guests but it slowed down the process of home making.)
Some things I like about t.o.:
-seeing friends all the time and having people make me feel like me and my company is wanted and enjoyed. it feels like a little happy community
-How cultural everything is and how much there is to explore and see. I have been to so many fun FREE events since I have been here (cabbagetown arts and crafts show, vegetarian food fair, st. lawerence market, queen west art crawl, the riverdale farm etc....)
-my job (although when you work a 9-5 the weekends are never long enough) and how much it inspires me
-how close everything is.
-bike riding in fall weather
-my roommates and my cutesy apartment
-going to the hot box cafe with becky and jo and everyone
-there are adorable dogs EVERYWHERE!!
things that i don't like about t.o.:
-I never thought i would experience cyclist road rage but since everyone bikes here it is so annoying to be stuck behind slow cyclists, to have drivers opening their car doors completely disregarding the on-coming cyclists, and to get your tire stuck in a street car track.
-my annoying druggie raver super intendants who live beneath me
-not being able to see my oakville friends as much as i would like
-spending money too much because of all the wonderful shops and services everywhere you go
-not having any of the channels i actually watch on our basic cable (WTF???? No A&E, Showcase, food network or discovery?!? We dont even get fucking MUCH!???)
As you can see, the goods outweight the bads. I am excited to see minus the bear soon, but I don't know what i am going to do about thanksgiving since i don't have a dining area. hmmm....
Also, my room is almost set up courtesy of mr. spencer and his handy helperness. He installed me a custom desk/shelf thing for underneath my window and now i get to sit in front of my window and make crafts or write letters or internet it up like a nerdy mc.nerderson.
come visit me y'all...or message me for my mailing address so we can correspond!!!!!! xoxox

i chase my paper on...
HOLL-ER.
so i have been busy as shit and haven't had time for a real update in a long time. i don't have time either, but i will just tell you a few things:
Toronto is GREAT. i have a 9-5. monday to friday, room to grow within the company, benefits, pne hour paid lunch, and it is in my field. BOMB.
Since coming to toronto i have had the greatest people around me at all times. It is surreal to have such amazing, genuine people in my company all the time. I miss Jo and Jamie (these are two of those people i have been seeing lots of though...i am glad because not living together and having to knock on her door instead of walking right in is FUCKKKKED) but colleen and spencer are the most amazing roommates. Spencer is the handiest man i have ever known, and colleen is and will always be the loveliest girl in the world.
I have also been spending so much time with my internet girlfriend turned real-life soul mat becky, and the love of her life/my homie adam. He is assisting a photo shoot with paris hilton this week! WOAHHHH! we have been hanging out, going to the hot box cafe, going to st. lawerence market, watching tv, and just spending cutesy time together (also in conjunction with jo and jamie...cute!) being nice and fun.
My bff leo has visited me from oakville lots, and he even bought me a friendship hat! what a charmer! I also got a visit from the wonderful ms. lynn kane and her adorable friend suzann last night...wine and weed and patio conversation.
Scott came up for the weekend to go to the vegetarian food fair and so we could go see the animal collective (which we couldn't get into....booo). we walked all the way home from sneeky dees on friday which wasn't as bad as it sounds and the food fair of course was yesterday. Sarah kramer was adorable and i bought three rays of spelt muffins and soy jerky...yumz!!
today we are going to the cabbage town arts and craft show, american apparel, and then who knows what the day will bring. i got my hurr did yesterday and it cost me a million dollars but i am a "new woman" (miranda july shout out...i am reading her book "no one belongs here more than you" which is amazing and sexy.) so i look bomb digity.
tomorrow i get the internet for real and not just free signals so i will write an essay about my life. i wanna know how alexis and zane are doing because i haven't heard from them since they moved.
WORDDDDD.
