The Redux

I don't blog enough. I just don't. I used to, when I had a website that worked and it was fun to post stuff and have comments and whatnot. But yeah, that hasn't been the case in years. Not until now!

What a fucking long week. It was my GBFF's birthday so we had a big night of libations on Saturday night. I think that night lasted over 12 hours. My body is sapped. but it's okay because I really haven't been going out to party much and I needed a night of uncontrolled debauchery. but yeah.. the week was mostly long because I had the worst PMS EVAR on Thursday and had to take the day off because of them stupid cramps. Like, WTF. It's not like I'm having children.

Well, the weekend came and went and I did fuck all. I was gonna go out Friday, but I decided eating mushrooms with my friend and listening to rad music in my newfangled apartment was better than going out, spending all my money and waking up in a distratrous state on Saturday afternoon. No, seriously, I woke up, made breakfast and played Civilization 5 until about 3am, and did the same thing Sunday, except I was outside playing with my laptop since it was a beautiful day. Exciting life I lead, I know.

May 02, 2012

Finally got my IKEA card in the mail Monday so I woke up at 5AM, went to work til 8:30 and took the effing bus up to Deerfoot Meadows. It was only supposed to take me a couple hours, but I didn't get out of there til 1:00ish... So I got to work at 2pm, worked til 6pm and was home to start putting my stuff away. Most of my furniture is getting delivered tomorrow, though, so I won't really have a fully furnished apartment til tomorrow night. I'm pretty stocked to have a bed with actual pillows on it! Yayness. Notice how I out a period instead of an exclamation mark?

April 24, 2012

Fuck! I went to vote yesterday after work, which was probably the hardest part of my day. The had two addresses for me, both wrong, so it made it nearly impossible to figure which division I should be voting in. I mean, there are 5 divisions in my area, I really don't give a shit, i just wanna fucking vote. So the whole time, I felt like my back was twisting into 19 different spirals and I started feeling super sweaty and gross. Finally, after voting, I went on a litle bike ride through the park before going home.

April 23, 2012

Not sure if the cynicism overload from Girls on HBO or if the shadow baby in Game of Thrones last night is affecting me. I hate being in a bad mood on beautiful days. And I'm not really a moody person. Not 21 days out of a month, anyway. But today, I have the worst phunky mood ever. I'm chalking this up to my Paypal transfer still not having gone through, which puts me WAY behind on buying those things I wanted. And now I'm thinking of not buying those JC booties. Ugh. Nix the boots, buy more clothes?

April 16, 2012

Seriously, for reals, you guys. I have been doing infinitesimally minimal work on this site. I really  have. I know you don't notice. I know you probably really notice when I fuck up real bad. Like when I forget to set private posts as private, making them public. The big oopsie poopsies, you know. So now there is this big fucking frame border showing up on the cloud. And I'm not happy about it. And I know Disqus is the culprit here, but I can't bring myself to just get rid of it. So, fuck me. :(

April 09, 2012

I am making good on my promise to buy myself a few things I believe in my heart of hearts I absolutely need or may die a horrible death for lack of obtaining said items. So I've decided to double-pay my credit cards this week, pay back some owed dough, and buy myself those things I think I need really bad. So I'm getting them Jeffrey Campbell boots and a bunch of uber cheap shit from Korea.

April 04, 2012

So many things I want out there! I need to sit at home and not go out until SUMMER. Because I need to buy all these amazing things. I want J Brand red jeans -from Aritzia, need a new pair of dark-washed jeggings -probably Mavi, skinny black jeans by Hudson's. I want the Esprit cherry-printed cardigan, the checkered shirt and the little green belt from the ad I saw, which I think is about $250.

March 31, 2012

It's saturday, it's beautiful out and I haven't gone to get my bike from work yet. It's getting close to 5pm and my friend's store is opening, and one of my best friend's birthday dinner is tonight. I don't wanna do either of those things. I'm glad T-bag understands that I may not come to dinner and empathizes. I forgot how to be nice and positive somewhere in the past fee weeks. I'm thinking I should at least go get some flowers, stop by Brandy Leigh's and make Bee smile with them.

March 30, 2012

This is going to be a huge entry because I'm not only ranting, I'm also enumarating the items off my wishlist of things to happen on this site. So before I forget, let's get started:

March 29, 2012

Anyone who knows me will tell you I have an affinity for the obscene, the unaccepted and specifically, the naked. I love porn. Porn is the fabric of our lives, not cotton, who the fuck are we kidding? I mean, when you were all alone at [insert inappropriate age here] in your parents' garage, were you not hiding in between the sewing pattern boxes, masturbating before someone got home and caught you? Of course you were.

What a fucking long week. It was my GBFF's birthday so we had a big night of libations on Saturday night. I think that night lasted over 12 hours. My body is sapped. but it's okay because I really haven't been going out to party much and I needed a night of uncontrolled debauchery. but yeah.. the week was mostly long because I had the worst PMS EVAR on Thursday and had to take the day off because of them stupid cramps. Like, WTF. It's not like I'm having children. 

I used to think I'd have 2 children by the time I was 25. What a fucking joke. I'm nearly 29, single with no chance of love/sex life revival. Let's face it. I really only have my career to care for and I'm too lazy to bother getting out there and finding someone else to make me smile. TV makes me smile. So I'm settling for that right now.

Like, really. I got a stupid match.com account and none of my 200+ matches are even remotelly interesting. I mean, I don't have a paid acount, so maybe the hot matches are only for people who pay for the service. But yeah, so far, seems like the shit end of the stick. I talked to my mom yesterday, you know, for mother's day and all and she went through the routine questions. "Are you guys getting back together?" and my answer finally changed frrom "Who knows, mom..." to "Well, it's been 7 months, so my guess would be 'no' at this point, Mom. can we please stop talking about this? Thanks." And as I say this, I'm realizing I'm still in the same fucking place I've been in for months, emotionally. It's just frustrating to see the seasons change and people live their lives, while I haven't really been able to evolve at all. I'm still stuck. And I know, they say life goes on but apparently, everything and everyone but me and my life is moving on. 

And really, I feel bad for anyone who actually reads my blog on the regular. This shit must bring someone's day down. It just has to. How long am I going to be whining about my life? Probably for the rest of it. I do not see this getting any better, or easier, or fun, or enjoyable. not in my foreseeable future anyway. I tried pretending I was fine for months and that broke me for about 3 weeks when my brain caught on to the lie. So I'd rather just face the facts: I am pretty fucking depressed and I'm just gonna have to wait it out.

But wait! There is some good news. I am going to LA in June for a week! And I'm buying my plane tickets to Montreal tomorrow! Other than that, I got zilch.
