i am now some kind of manager at work.
right now it means i get to make the schedule and work on the weekends.
anyway.
today i reflected on the image of "home" and how i am very afraid of losing it.
there is this (other) man at work named osmond and he is my new best friend.
he brings me cookies and laughs at my corny jokes.
the other man i mentioned is apparently widely known as "creepy".
and sean and i are collaborating on a photo project.
it is going to be FANTASTIC.
that is, if we can ever get around to seeing each other long enough.
and, where can i purchase the diva cup/moon cup/keeper locally?

there is this man at my work who works the front desk of the hotel.
earlier this week he approached me and chatted me up.
today he smelled my shoulder.
only the people at work tell me i smell good.
last night sarah, ken, and i went to miyabi and it was ridiculously fantastic.
actually, there was nothing ridiculous about it.
it was just fantastic.
i have a sore throat.
and i find it a bit wierd that all these people who barely know me want to hang out and make plans with me but my "friends" don't even call.

i've become very good at wasting away an entire weekend by doing nothing. it's become my favorite thing in the whole world.
it just gives me so much time to... process.
i've spent my weekend seriously reconsidering my employment decisions, reconnecting with old friends, and consciously listening to my insides.
and i've also re-intensified my relationship with the internet. <3
tonight i am looking forward to garden state and seeing my friends. i haven't seen either in way too long. <-someone please tell me how that is grammatically correct.

ok i just realized that i invited at least 30 people to my housewarming.
oops.

[13 Nov 2004|11:24pm] |
fantasticity!
laine and i ended up at enorae where we sat happily alone in the restaurant for two hours chattering about porn and our career choices and stuff in between.
ex-mas this year promises to be bursting with both creative energy and social fun.
(i got my package hand delivered. :P)
and sandra, i should hand deliver your invitation as well. slash LET'S GET TOGETHER.
i am excited!
our basement bathroom is coming together quite well. it now has the ikea swivel thing that i was in love with and it is full of rotational fun. and the cork as a floor was a very conscientious decision.
anyway.
my eating healthy decisions are actually happening now.
which makes eating that much more pleasurable balanced.
and project: look for a new job perhaps in a different field altogether is now in the production line.
it will perhaps coincide with project: learn new things.
and i feel like i will be falling off a page come three weeks. it's both scary and exhilarating at the same time.
and this is my playlist ok?
xiu xiu- poe poe
animal collective- kids on holiday
radiohead- karma police
lamb- gold
cocorosie- by your side
david bowie- man who sold the world
lizzie west- chariots rise
scanner- at the end of the day
vincent gallo- apple girl
xiu xiu- i broke up

this weekend, so far, has brought a surprise email from an old friend, an apology i thought i'd never receive, and a phonecall from someone whom i'd prefer remain a stranger.
and in moving news, i've successfully scheduled a date to install cable and internet, and packed a total of three boxes.
i've got lots of time... :P
tonight i have a laine date.

so, who's coming out to see garden state on sunday?
and, we're going to the one on pembina. it's not playing at mcphillips.
7:15.

my first bad day at work.
it began with a written warning and a skipped-over lunch break (i admit, i did say that it was no big deal), and ended with a printer that decided to break and make my work that much harder.
81/2 fucking hours.
sometimes lately, i've been really starting to miss giselle's.
i keep having to remind myself why i left in the first place.
i lost my black bra again. so i keep wearing my red one. and this one hurts me. :(
marc left a message on my voicemail.
i still haven't returned his call. but it will be saved for three days.
oh! and i am organizing a garden state viewing on sunday.
we are going to the cinema city 8 on mcphillips (simply because no one goes there) and i don't know what time yet. i can't commit to anything on a sunday before three.
and i am so so sososo wishful about my newest liaison to vault spa.
i realized today during my talking-to, that i am just thoroughly unimpressed by where i work that the effort lacks in me.
and, apparently, it shows.

i haven't felt passionate about anything in... a long time.
it's a strange sensation. but it makes me feel sexy and confident and free and happy and playful all at the same time.
i love learning.
today my mum woke me up by sitting beside me on my bed and telling me she left apple pancakes in the fridge. (i <3 my mum!)
and then the house was empty and i decided it was the perfect opportunity for a leisure routine of internet, pancakes, and pot.
i quit drinking and became a weekend stoner.
i am excited to be able to sleep in 4 out of 5 times this upcoming workweek.
i am listening to kruder and dorfmeister- conversions.
at the recommendation of the friendliest person i know. i am AMAZED by him.
after a discussion last weekend regarding a "no regrets" philosophy, i am second-guessing that policy.
and wondering if plowing through difficult situations is really the way to go.
and my recent strong urge to put forth natural living has been so incredibly eye-opening and very good for my health.
ok this album is egh.
PLEASE RECOMMEND SOME TUNES TO ME. (i am still suffering from my music loss and currently own one mp3 cd, one mix cd and one esthero cd.)
AND I MISS MY LAMB SO FUCKING MUCH. and my morcheeba. and air. and radiohead mixed with love.
the.end.

WHAT.A.DAY.
i somehow lost an esthetician and my keys tonight.
i am going to sean's right away to "hot tub".
and you, are not. :P
oh, and best date ever=sean.
does YOUR boyfriend make a cosy bed in the backseat of his car?
and i'm over icy squares.
mini kitkats are where it's at.
|
|
|
[29 Oct 2004|12:14am] |
i am currently hunting down icy squares. if you see them anywhere, LET ME KNOW.
i want to buy the friggen tub.
melissa and i went to femfest tonight.
we saw martha in the corner, the story of deborah, and deserving treats. all were intelligent and engaging.
then we got what i now affectionately call "ushi" and went to tyson and mike's.
where i am now.
anyway.
work sucked today. for the first time ever/in a month.
so i called tonic to find out who was responsible for the hiring.
and, i like conan o'brien. he's funny.

i just dreamt that i ran into jessica and we were discussing university classes and she told me she was taking a religion class and i told her that i couldn't get into that but an introduction to all religions would be cool and she totally insulted me by saying something like "yeah, that will change your life" in the most sarcastic way and then i ran out of the house and it was just like what happened last weekend, in real life.
and i remember being so incredibly insulted because jessica and i, we've always been very in tune with who we were and how we were changing and how we wanted to change and in my dream she was acting like she was better than me. like i was supposed to know who i was at that point, that i shouldn't be spending so much time trying to figure it out anymore.
and then there were these kids who had water balloons except they weren't filled with water, they were filled with poo and stinky green stuff and we were running away from them on these massive hills that were like trampolines.

i can't seem to talk lately. i have been either studdering or, even worse, having words fall out of my mouth.
it's totally embarrassing and really hard to cover up.
and i lost my favorite bra.
my room ate it.
it ate my green belt as well.
and this makes the idea of packing that much more unappealing. apparently my random filing/storing methods are faulty.
i now have serious piles of stack.
i asked a girl at work today if she/"they" hate me.
she replied by telling me a story of how she flipped on someone because i didn't go to the meeting?
and i like my manicure even more now.
it is a black and white french. it's hot.
i watched a bit of family guy, most of kink, part of the jesus factor and part of a muchmoremusic profile on playboy tonight.
it's so rare for tv to engage me like that.
i felt like absorbing i suppose.
i also read a good chunk of shopgirl. and held a groom-o-rama session in the bathroom.
and had two dinners.
and walked suki.
it was probably my most productive evening in a long time. haha.
and i am still craving icy squares.

work is really slow right now.
last thursday i left 6 hours early. today 2. tomorrow i am going in 2 ½ hours later.
and as happy as my sleeping-in lazy self is about this, the self who has to pay for the broken car window, outstanding bills and looming rent is really frustrated.
but i got a free manicure. i suppose there's always that.
but no more pizza postpilates. or alcohol binges (but, we've covered that). or fun really. for awhile.
screw you money.
you can all come visit me in december.
november will be spent hibernating.

from starting_vegan:
There's an artist, Nathalia Edenmont, who kills cats, mice, doves, rabbits, and other animals, mutilates their bodies, and then takes their photographs. She's on exhibit, among other places, at the Wetterling Gallery in Sweden. She has taken the top halves of five white mice and made them into finger puppets. She beat a cat to death with a stick. And this is called art. This is not only inhumane, but morally reprehensible.
Link to samples of the exhibit: http://www.wetterlinggallery.com/archive/nathalia/nathalia_main.htm

i am tired of getting up early.

[25 Oct 2004|05:52pm] |
my weekend ended with my car window smashed and my cds and remote stolen.
it's what i get for being an asshole the night before.
again, i reiterate (mostly for myself): i quit drinking.
and, there are just some people that i can not be friends with.
but being disrespectful to them should never be an option.
and i decided today that i don't really like my job anymore.
