HAPPY CANADA DAY!

I just had a most fantastic weekend, and the week to follow may be even better. This weekend was Toronto Pride, as I'm sure many of you knew already.I spent the weekend with a friend I haven't seen in ages, as well as a couple new friends I met. We basically just partied and blew a ton of money all weekend long.

Saturday was pretty sweet out on Church st. They have the same street festival as they do on Sunday but there are 10x less people since all the straight people come to check out the scene after the parade on Sunday.




For the evening, we made our way over to the Kool Haus for the Birthday Massacre/MSI show.
We ate some of these magically delicious baked goods:


Damn scooters are sexy....


We didn't end up going out the the bar until 2am. We got distracted in a friend's hotel drinking and watching Terminator 2. Ended up going to Slack's which was pretty sweet. Plenty of lovely ladies around there.
I didn't get back to my hostel until 4:30....and of course the girls in my dorm started waking up between 7-7:45. Needless to say, I was very tired and grumpy the next day.
Took lots of pictures of the parade though!


Damn scooters are sexy...





Some blue asshole gave me war paint


Anyhow, I guess those are the best parts of my Pride adventure....other than the parts there aren't pictures of
I'll be back in Toronto as of tomorrow, until Saturday for a few shows and whatnot. Anyone know if there is anything else exciting going down? Because I'd love to find out.

OH!
Also....I made this using the sweetass clay that coleen sent me.

Its a hot panda. He is my God.

I can't believe how fast June has gone by. It's almost time for Pride! YAY!
magic and rainbows!

So it turns out I'll be going to Toronto on Saturday the 28th for an action-packed day of pride events (and sushi), followed by The Birthday Massacre and Mindless Self Indulgence at the kool haus! I wasn't going to go, but it really didn't take too much convincing. HAHA.
That isn't even the end of it, oh no.
After the show we're heading to Voglie to drink copious amounts of liquor and dance with hot girls.
Anyone else heading to TO for the show and/or Pride?

I've been going to the gym and working out with my trainer a couple times a week. She keeps finding all those muscles I didn't know I had then beating them up until I can't move them any more. Friday it was my legs. I looked like an old lady every time I tried to get up our of a chair; hanging on to the sides and slowly pulling myself to my feet. SAD! Yesterday she killed my arms. I could hardly even lift a bag of milk at work today.
This better be worth it.

I rediscovered this glorious thing today:

And to think people wonder why I love Denmark so much.

I wish I could've gone back to sleep after I woke up at 7 by accident on my day off

i r a sleepee bunny

I have a confession.
I sort of blew off the Gala to go to a Barry Manilow concert. I'm sorry, but it was important.
It looks like it was a lot of fun though...and I'm pretty jealous.
There...now I feel better I've got that out.

Alex graduated from university today. Lucky bugger. I still have another long painful year ahead.
Ah well. His dad took us out for dinner last night, and his mom took us out for lunch and groceries this afternoon so it was a pretty sweet deal.
We were hoping he was gonna inherit on of his parents cars because they have an extra, but no such luck. Guess that means I'm buying a car next month.
I'm thinking of getting a new Yaris. Anyone have any words of wisdom for me?

Anyway...I think I'mma take Alex out for some graduate sushi...and then maybe get a little trashed.
up up and awayyyy!~~

Oops i forgot to add this amazing piece of photographic glory...

My muscles hurtttt!
I actually went to the gym for once! YAY ME.
I also spent way too much money that day, but that's another story, and really nothing special because I do that way too often. But the good thing is I'll have a personal trainer for the next 3 months, the bad? I'll be paying it off until April. Anyway, we'll see how that goes.

I've been really torn about what to do at the end of June. Theres 1. Pride Week 2. MSI/TBM at the Kool Haus and 3. The Tottenham Bluegrass festival i.e. 3 days of drunken mischief with friends I havent hung out with in ages.
So I think I've basically decided to go spend my night by myself in Toronto on the 28th. I'm still considering going to the show but a)$$ b) no one wants to go with me because of $$ c)its really far away from the place I'm staying d)big gay party!
So I'll probably just end up going out bar hopping on church st with a couple of my friends and then spend the night by my lonesome *sigh*

The week after that my roomies and I are going to Toronto AGAIN for 3 nights. Going to see Tv on the Radio on the 2nd, and Green Jelly on the 4th HAHA. I never knew poor starving students could spend so much damn money. I guess that's why we're poor starving students in the first place.

Speaking of starving....I need some breakfast now that I've rambled incessantly for the past lil while.

Well I'm not doing very good at being around...but I've actually had a life for the past lil while! CRAZY!

Last week my parents came to visit...yeah I know it sounds lame but it was actually a lot of fun, although they are an AWFUL influence on me.
They arrived Tuesday night and I took them out to the bar. This kid from work's band was playing. They are a lot of fun. I've seen them a couple times before and they are really good for a high school band.
The band is called Dancehall Free For All if you are interested in checking them out.
Heres a couple pics from that night.
Look! Theres my mom on the left haha.

And this one is me dancing with my ever-elusive back tattoo exposed....oh...and Alex with a mohawk now.

Anyway, as fun as that night was...my mom kept buying me tequila shots...and then my dad bought me a strongbow, and alex kept buying me beer. I know it was totally my mom's fault, but I got a little trashed.
The next day I felt so awful...and she made me move around furniture. I was not too impressed
Thursday that week I went with my parents to Rockwood to check out the place they were gonna be camping (they stayed in a camper in my driveway the two previous nights.)
It was pretty nice, and I took a lot of pics with my mom's camera...but of course she has yet to send them to me. It was sweet though...hiking trails...a beach...old ruins...caves...waterfalls. I totally did some spelunking.

The weekend following that week my roomies and I went to Toronto to see Opeth. We stayed at a hotel...ate sushi...and had breakfast at 2:30am. It was a good time minus the people yelling in the room beside us. There was yelling and crying, and "bitch! get out of the shower"....and then I guess they made up because they started fucking. We were all really high, and we thought it was really funny so we just laughed and laughed and eventually I think that shut them up. The next day we took the bus home and celebrated free hamburger day at harvyes!! w00t! yum. harveys veggie burgers are kinda awesome.

Now...the Opeth show. I still don't know what I thought about it. New band members....bunch of stupid kids in the audience....and they opened with Demon of the Fall. That may not mean much to any of you, but if you knew any better you'd be screaming blasphemy. It was okay though. The lights were really trippy, and Mikael Akerfeldt entertained us with his silly Swedish sense of humour. It just felt a little wrong without Peter Lindgren and with so goddamn many dumbass children at that show. At least the show made Alex start to love them a little. I've been working on that since we started dating like...3 and a half years ago, and finally the day has come when all he wants to listen to is Opeth. A job well done.

That brings us to last night....went out to the bar not expecting much. There was a guy with a guitar playing pretty typical stuff...until he started playing the cure...and radiohead...and smashing pumpkins...and peter gabriel. It was pretty sweet because I'm so damn sick of hearing the same thing every time I go to a bar and its open mike night or theres a lame generic band playing. I mean, this guy was generic, but at least he had decent taste in music.
Anyway I didnt really expect to drink much but Alex seemed to think I needed to get drunk, so he convinced our friend Lisa to help him out with that. It seemed to work well until Lisa got completely wasted and started molesting me. And then....then Alison got JEALOUS. She's my roommate Chad's girlfriend so that was interesting. Makes me wonder what's going on in that lil head of hers...hmm...
Anyway the night progressed, but my story will not. That's top secret business.

Everyone fall asleep yet?
Now for some sweet melodies care of my new musical fixation...Emilie Simon

Monday May 12.......jeez. Summer is gonna be over in no time. LAME

Spent my weekend at my parents house...
well... i actually went there because we buried my grandmother on saturday. It was nice to spend time with my mom on and around mothers day too. On Friday we went to the mall....I got the greatest things ever. (well...at least until my shopping trip on sunday)

no...not the beer. that was just handed to me as i was taking the picture of my lil flower hair clip.
yeah so i guess i sort of got you all excited for nothing eh?
Anyway....blew a lot of money. blew a lot of my mother's money....it felt good.

its nice out tonight so we're considering going to the hole that is trapper's alley for dollar beers *shudders*
maybe throw things at some sluts...
HA

we'll see where the night takes us

Wow...I've been REALLY antisocial. My last post was in MARCH. That's pathetic.
I should probably have a lot to say then.

Well...school is over now so I don't have to complain about that any more. This freedom is the greatest feeling ever. Seriously. I almost don't want to go back next year. I know, I know, one more left, I can do it. blah blah blah.


Had a pretty glorious 4:20
It was a gorgeous day outside, and all of Guelph's stoners gathered on Johnston Green at the university. There were hotbox tents,couches, and drum circles all around. People walking their dogs and playing frisbee, and others just sitting around with bongs telling stories. At 4:20pm a cloud of smoke rose above the field as everyone cheered. It was a lovely day to lay out in the sun and eat watermelon, smoke, and chill with friends.

The Aviator Squad!

Later it clouded over as though it was going to rain...which it did...for about 5 minutes.

We went back to my place and hung out on the lawn for hours. The boys brought out acoustic guitars and I brought out the bunny.
I took a lil video of him on my camera. There's no sound though..which sucks because they sounded good. But he's really really cute.



The last week of April we basically just partied every night. Our buddy Sam is moving out west for the summer so we basically just had a week of drunken excess.
I looked like this before I even got to the bar:

I promise all the picture that followed are ten times worse.
Oh...also somewhere in there me and the boys in my house got our hair cut. Alex no longer looks like Jesus, and my hair is PURPLE!

Lastly I have some pictures from this past weekend which I have barely recovered from. Saturday was the global marijuana march in toronto. It was a shitty rainy day, but it was awesome hanging out with my guelph friends as well as my best friends from when I went to Western, who I hadn't seen in AGES.

After getting totally drenched and muddy we went for sushi at this awesome place on College St. called sushi island. We didn't take any pictures because we were too busy stuffing our faces HAHA. mmm. sooo good.
As a grand finale to the night we went to Darkrave at the Funhaus. Everyone made me put eyeliner on them so they could feel evil...haha...stupid posers.
It looked hawt though.

Alex looked especially awesome. I mean, he's worn eyeliner a number of times before...but with that new haircut and scruffy stubbly cheeks....YUM

We stayed in a hostel down the street which was actually a pretty sweet scene. Lots of international backpackers around.

It was kinda crazy coming back from the rave all messed up hearing everyone talking in different languages. Anyway the rave was pretty sweet although I didn't dance for very long.


I only buzzed for like half hour off that e, then I started feeling shitty so I made Alex go home with me. I basically just laid around all night, peeing every 2 minutes and not sleeping. It sucked, and was possibly the longest night of my life. When I finally got back to Guelph the next day at like 2pm my pupils were still huge. Ended up sleeping from 2pm-10pm, then 2am-10am on sunday. I felt pretty awful monday, though surprisingly going to work in the evening made me feel better.

Anyway, moral of the story is, I'm not doing anymore E. Or anything else for that matter...booze and pot is plenty.
Well..that was a really damn long post. I hope you all fell asleep. HA
~sweet daydreams!~

okay...so greatest monday ever.
i open up my bank account to find out my grandpa has paid off my credit card and $7500 line of credit....i find the perfect car for me for $5000 (maybe), and then i get a check in the mail for $50. SUPER. Its a sign spring is here. After a long grueling winter, things start to look awesome again.
Also, that bitchy teacher of mine gave me some decent marks, so I'm not so angry with her any more. She can hate me all she wants as long as she's fair.

Also..this weekend was eventful. It really all started on wednesday when i stayed up all night working on an assignment and talking to coleen on msn...or rather procrastinating. I was so exhausted the next day.....but it was definitely worth it
Friday night comes along and its Guitar Hero competition night. We go to the pub....get waaaasted...and fail at guitar hero. That's not the part that matters though....it was when we got home drank more and clothes started coming off. sorta magical.
I slept one hour that night and was a walking zombie the next day. seriously....all dead inside. again...totally worth it.

It just feels really good that I have less than 2 weeks left of class left.....we're getting down to the final few assignments...i mean theres a lot, but once these 2 weeks are done its just finals, then thats it.
Mid-April we have a Dancehall Free for All show to go see.......Apr 27 is SG Canada East zoo date.....then May 3rd the GMM followed by a rave. Possibly one of our last nights of debauchery before our buddy Sam leaves for Banff. Its going to be wild and scandalous and i'm getting antsy just thinking about it.

Another great thing about this weekend you ask? I saw 6 robins! and 2 groundhogs! that means its definitely spring. OFFICIAL. Also I really need a haircut. I'm getting super shaggy.

I will have ACTUAL pictures for you all a lil later in the week when my friend sends 'em my way.

HAPPY SPRINGTIME!~


Ps. This:

oh school.....why aren't you over yet? I've had about enough of your nonsense.

Ready for a big venting post? Prepare yourself. Ready, set, ...

my prof has been a super bitch to me ever since I was away for a week when my grandma died. I missed two tests that week and we had to reschedule them for the next week. Tuesday night she sends me an email asking me to write one of the tests at 10:30 the next morning; of course I didn't see this email until wednesday morning and I asked to write both the tests thursday after class since it was a little late. I get this bitchy e-mail back from her saying "well i see that you are just planning on doing things on your OWN schedule and you don't really care, so you can write both the tests Thursday. You'll have one hour to write them both"
*note* she wasn't even supervising the test, someone else did it

anyway...the test was really goddamn long and I didn't really finish it. Got it back today and she marked it really hard (which is unusual of her) and got very nitpicky with it and marked answers wrong because I worded them differently than she would have. Also in class today she was very snide and bitchy if I asked questions, or answered hers. Other people in my class even noticed.
Grrrrr...

~end of vent~

that helped a little. i'm still really pissed though.

ANYWAY. I'm glad to see it looks a lil more like springtime out there. I can't wait until I can ride my bike again. My poor body needs exercise.

Also, rediscovered photobooth today. haven't played with that for a while.




ANYWAY. enough from me. I have to go write a huge assignment now.
