If I was to do another rant, it would be about public transportation.
But things are pretty good (my weekend was very,very tame, yet entirely endearing during most parts) so instead I will do this stupid survey thing...

RANT OF THE DAY.
So today I was at work, as per usual during the monday-friday, 9-5 time frame, and I was asked by my boss Julia if I could walk across the street to another one of the buildings in designers walk to deliver a package.
I figure, why not? My god-damned wisdom teeth were kicking my ass today so I thought a little fresh air might be exactly what I needed.
Anyways, that's not the point, just the build-up. The point of the story is, I leave my building to walk over across to the neighboring design firm, and what do I see?
A car idling in a no parking zone.
This is not fine, however I normally would not have thought twice about it. Except for the catch.
which i will get to.
so anyways, I go in, do my thing, and a few minutes later I exit to head back to work, and what do I see?
THE SAME CAR IDLING.
here is the catch:
It is not just any random car with any random person.
IT WAS A FUCKING UPPER CLASS 50-SOMETHING MAN, IN A SUIT, WITH THE WINDOW DOWN, IDLING A FUCKING SMART CAR!!!!!!
I'M SORRY. BUT THIS IS BASICALLY EVERYTHING I HATE IN A PERSON.
First of all, if you're not all into the eco-friendly thing DON'T GET A FUCKING SMART CAR.(lets be honest, us new-age hippies are the primary followers of this lifestyle because we are the ones about to have children and need to be aware of how the environment may or may not be when they become our age. We are the ones, and our future families are the ones, who will left to deal with a shitty earth and shitty climate and shitty illnesses. but whatever, back to the rant)
If you are choosing to drive a fucking hummer, eat GMO'd food, support unethical practices WHATEVER, that is your choice.
BUT DON'T BUY A FUCKING SMART CAR IMPLYING THAT YOU ARE CONSCIOUSLY TRYING TO ABIDE TO A CERTAIN LIFESTYLE AND THEN SIT IN YOUR FUCKING EXPENSIVE SUIT IDLING IT IN A NO PARKING ZONE IN FUCKING YORKVILLE.
FUCK THAT GUY.
All I wanted to say (because the idiot had his fucking window down) was "DO YOU NOT SEE THE FUCKING IRONY IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING?? GO DRINK SOME FUCKING BLEACH, RETARD."
honestly, i almost had a fucking panic attack just because of this guy. He just looked so smug and arrogant.
UGHBIJSGN.
on a completely unrelated note, Jeanie Becker came into my work today and apparently her interior design tastes involve children's appliqued nursery-rhyme themed curtains in her kitchen, fringe on EVERYTHING, and everything being "JUST FAAAABULOUS!!!!"

"did you date a lot in high school?"
"..were you always chasing girls?"
so yeah.
hmm.
whats been going on?
hmm.....
honestly, it doesn't even matter what has been going on, it's all about what's coming on...CHRISTMAS, AKA MY TRIP HOME TO HALIFAX TO SEE MY FAMILY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY MY BABY GURRRRL
i actually miss lindsay so much. I can't wait to go home and canoodle on her sofa and smoke cheeba and eat food and be merry and blissful. I want to see Ben (since even though he lives on the internet, he is never on the internet??) and i want to see erin cusack and i want to see my big brother and i want to see my moms and pops and i want to see my dog and i want to see the ocean and i want to see snowwwwww.
i feel good though because i have got some christmas prezzies under way already so i am ahead of the game.
things in toronto have slowed down (i guess i actually live here now...) and now i need to get my illustration work done, get this quixtar business on the go, and maybe if i am lucky meet some new people and get my mind out of the gutter and off of the people who distract me in the wrong way. (waste of timeeeeee.)
I did a cleanse this weekend which helped me jump-start my diet again. I need to get that under control so i don't get sick any more and can have fun and be healthy! yay!! healthy!!!
Sharai came down for the weekend (pretty much) and kept me company and chilled out like vegetables for saturday and sunday. it was cute, and i can't wait for her to move here. Halloween was super cute too because Cam called last minute and was all "yooo! lets sit on the stoop and give candy to kiddies!!" so cam, colly and i gave out sooo much candy within 30 minutes and had to get more! then becky and adam came in time to stoop it up (and beer it up) too and then finally jo and jamie came (they missed the candy ..booo) and we all hung out and it was funnnnn!
jo and i hung out this saturday afternoon too which was cute and sisterly since we never get one on one time anymore.
final thought:
not having a crush on anyone makes life very, very boring. that being said, building my friendships is much more important in the long run and i am happy to have such wicked, wicked people in my life <3
so yeah.

Tomorrow night is the boo bash and i don't know what to wear! i was going to be a zombie hooters girl, but then i actually WENT to hooters last night and I actually hated it so much that I don't want to be a hooter girl. AND their merch is so fucking pricey ($25 for a tank top i am just going to ruin!???) EEK! I hate being that person!! that last minute costume person! aaack!
and tonight i can't get a costume because I have a BUSINESS MEETING?? I got scouted out for some marketing job (this is a real story) by a customer from the O.G. and now I have to meet he and his wife at la commensal for dinner tonight to talk business???
IS THIS FOR REAL??
WHO WOULD GIVE ME A JOB IN THIS TYPE OF BUSINES??
apparently my sparking personality is undeniable haha.

I've got no where else to run to, I sure as hell ain't running home
We can crash back at your apartment

I never knew what i was missing
frankly I was better off.
You let me drink from your cup
and now i don't know how to stop
I've been pounding and pleading at your window
sadly ignored
I wanted just a little bit more
I wanted just a little bit more
You love me then you lock your doors
I thought we were painting a bigger picture
Now I know the score
I wanted just a little bit more
I wanted just a little bit more
You fooled me into thinking I was special, but you're a liar
and a whore
It makes me want you just a little bit more
I want you just a little bit more
Baby don't you make me go home.
Don't you make me go home.

"we both get carried away..."
"no one sleeps yet, lets keep it goin' til the mornin'...."
my life has been so fucking whirl wind this week.
I think i am subconciously rebelling against something that I am not even aware of.
basically, i just finished a 3-day bender. how 2004 of me.
anyways.
thursday was my work party. I was kinda concerned about this one, and totally not expecting what was about to ensue.
We had this private function at work to launch our new canadian furniture collection. 60 people RSVP'd, about 25 non-employees showed up. We had bought 3 grand in catering (open bar) and yup, no one showed.
so anyways, izzy who MAYBE has a glass of wine on holidays had 5 glasses of wine, and i had 7 or 8?? fuckkkkk. anyways i was very composed (probably because of all the food we pecked at since no one showed) until i actually left the party to walk to the subway with izzy. oh, fresh air.
anyways a train and bus ride later, i run into spencer on the street, buy another bottle of wine (whyy??????) and decide to call cam, my neighbor.
me:"HI CAM!! WANNA WATCH THE OFFICE???"
cam:"yeah dude, come smoke a spliff and watch the office"
me:"okay!!! i've had 8 glasses of wineeee!"
ugh.
so anyways you can see how this turned southward at this point. i tried to get some food, that didn't work out, but because all of this had already happened by 10:30 pm.
anyways it could've been worse because i still got 8 hours of sleep and was hazy and probably smelly at work the next day but they didn't know the half of it and i still had leo's party that night.
friday after work (good god what a long day) i went to the eaton center to buy some duds and bought some sick purple cords for 10 bucks and a shirt for 10.
leo and the gang came over around 9:30. here are some photos:
me, chris and sharai, red wallin'.
me and colly. i dunno what i am doing.
the crew. this photo actually warms my heart so much. i miss lynn kane though.
and look! leo is excited!!
me and my bestie. happy birthday buddy.
7:30am.
i went crazy the next morning after my 2 hour beauty sleep, but i was so happy. so so happy.
the night was actually SOOOO FUN. It was amazing to see leo actually so fucking stoked on something. Sharai and I abducted colleen who wasn't going to come, and the night was unreal.
Basically, circa is really fucking expensive but so fun. 15 bucks for cover and 6.50 drinks but it is a million floors of fun. They played so much good tunes and it really felt entirely like cute girls, gay dudes and us. The played "revolution" by the beatles and everyone had peace sing hula hoops and painted posters saying all sorts of peace-related wonders. there were people dressed in crazy costumes, and all of us just danced with each other balls out to every song. we danced with randoms, (dudes, girls...whatever) and leo got sooo sloppy and i loved it. EVERYONE just had fun and was care-free and soooo happy.
Later we went back to my house to smoke cheeba and then chris put on my purple pants and we all decided it was a great time for me to learn to skateboard?? anyways SK8 OR DIE?? i dunno, but 4:20 rolls around, we blaze, and i get a phone call from JC (my favorite drunk) who is so happy because Dougie is in town and about to visit?? i guess he let the cat out of the bag though because it was supposed to be a surprise and dougie had been trying to track down spencers # so he could get our address and surprise me, but instead he just drove to my house at 5am and it was surreal and amazing and so funny to see him flip out about all of his former co-op students hammered laying all over my house.
saturday i ended up staying in bed until 3:30 or so, minus the brief early morning crazies before leo and the crew left. Dougie and I went back to oakville where i met jo for a late lunch, and we went to her ("our") mama's house. I LOVE HER. ann was so happy we were there and of course the wine got going (fuckkkkk) and the next thing we know we are sitting in her moms bed, drinking wine, and looking at her new clothes?? jeeeeeze.
later on i went to the firehall where jo, dougie, jc, cody, lauren and I hung out and drank doubles and i felt sorry for myself for partying yet again. but talk about the most surreal moment...hanging out with all of daves closest friends on my own terms, back in bronte. then we spoke about dottie and i got nostalgic and sad, but it was good to know he was doing okay. but yeah it gets weirder.
so then we decide to go to lauren and codys house which just so happened to be IN THE SAME COMPLEX JC, JO AND I ALL LIVED IN THAT BURNT DOWN. fuckkk. and they had these 2 adorable dogs (i don't do well with adorable family dogs any more) we had grabbed MORE WINE from ann's house on the way there, and so yeah.
yeah.
ugh.
got a ride back to toronto which was sweet but seeing dougie for such a short time is such a friendship tease.
BUT THEN TODAY!
i met becky, adam and neil at union station at 12:45 intending to go to toronto island and go biking all day. but due to the fact that it was 24 DEGREES ON A SUNDAY IN LATE OCTOBER everyone had the same idea and we sold our tickets instead of waiting 2 hours for a ferry, and biked suppppper far west on the waterfront, just past that huge white super architectural bridge you can see from the highway when you are approaching toronto. we had a healthy picnic, blazed, and took photos. we biked up to queen street for candy after that, making the whole ride almost 20 km (i mapquested it haha). i met chris, came home and hung out with him and cam for a bit, and now i am calling it a day.
or a summer.
or a blur.
but it was amazing.
