CHRISTMAS POSTING TIME

Look it's a ukulele!

a lil bit of shameless self promotion never hurt anyone.

so, what to say. now that I've found out that a grand total of 2 people I don't know read my blog, I feel obligated to post more often. Maybe it's good for me, this could be kind of a release from the stress-induced death that finals tend to bring.

christmas!

christmas christmas!

it's here! sort of. there are still 13 days until I'm free of finals, and a few more until I actually get to have the joy of a giant family reunion, but it's on it's way! There's supposed to be a snowstorm today. yay!

coming up next: my up to date from last year list of the top 10 reasons I love the holiday season.

love.

stuff.

dear interwebs.

I'm sorry for not posting, although nobody reads it anyways.

christmas is almost here!! woo!!

i got my lip pierced.

yep.

Jeri.

The World and I

The world is spinning in circles

Is that the way it was meant to be?

I can't tell left from right

up from down

front from back

You'd be insane not to feel it.

After all, the world does, scientifically, spin.

Then why am I the crazy one?

I suck ass at posting.

School is in session.

Yay!

I've developed a Gossip Girl addiction.

Don't judge.

i'll post more later. :)

6 DAYS LEFT OF SUMMER

OMGMONTREALSOON

I am tired of summer.

The summer has become tiresome; although I suppose tiresome probably isn't the right word. Boring, long, repetitive, lifeless, insipid, seemingly interminable. Summer is just dragging on and on; without a task to occupy my days, I'm noticing it more now than ever before. I need something to do. Something to occupy my mind and body from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. It would be wonderful if it paid, as I could desperately use the money, but at this point, it's not even necessary for me. I just need something. Because without something, the days drag on, and I feel like I'm accomplishing nothing. Sitting at home, day in and and day out, waiting for 5 o clock to roll around so that I can find someone else to do nothing with. I want Montreal back. 

Sex.

LOL. I suck hardcore at posting.

I run scared.

words don’t come easy for me, i suppose they never have.
tongue-tied twisted thoughts
temptation to tell, talk,
take part in this relational process some call life.
but nothing comes out.

mouth open, lips in motion, tongue stressed
silence. still air. nothingness.
I do have ideas, I promise.
there are phrases, complete sentences in my mind,
running unafraid,
untroubled by everything except a fear of being uttered

and so here I sit, dead silence,
and you think I’m nothing special.
and I can’t change a thing, because words don’t come easy.

Wildbirds & Peacedrums are pretty cool.

Also: Old news, but Meg White got married. There go all my indie lesbian fantasies. Sigh.

So...

I suck at posting, but my summer isn't really exciting. 

The end.

News Flash

Soooooo it's summer (sort of) and finals are over and all that is in the way of me and luxury is a 9-5 job painting houses. And maybe a second job cashiering. And driving lessons. And apparently self defense lessons. But besides all that, I am free for the summer. It should be a lot of fun. So, here's what's new in the world:

1. I'm back in Saint John, where my mom has already drained my change purse to buy my little brother lunch

2. I've baked a marble fudge cake from a box. Bow down to my cooking skills.

3. I've done the prep-work on one house, and my hands are killing me already. Thank goodness that I've gotten 3 rain days so far, where I don't have to work. 

4. I'm working on figuring out my life plan. Step 1: stop thinking about it, it makes your head hurt.

aaaaaand that's about it. Hopefully I will be posting with more exciting things other than myself. I'm hoping to actually do some writing/songwriting this summer when I'm not bogged down by other things. And it will be grand.

*edit: Nathanial helped on the cake a little bit. I guess. 

Spring

It's spring, and we know what that means!

wooooooooo!!!!

so

Finals.

They eat my soul.

the end.

this is all that's keeping me alive. thank you aly for showing me.

Reasons I hate clubs:

1. all you end up smelling is BO.

2. falling over yourself is NOT attractive. Ever.

3. guys are tasteless.

4. girls are tasteless.

5. the music is tasteless

6. even the drinks are tasteless.

remind me why I still go every once in a while? someone? please?

Jewel, anyone?

I think I might actually have something to say!

Apparently Jewel is coming out with a new album and I'm way behind the times. I am mega mega pumped. Because it's Jewel. And it's sure to be prime. Also, apparently it's just her singling Lullabies. Like actual lullabies. Twinkle Twinkle, and Brahm's Lullaby and other things. SOOOOOO yeah.

if anyone finds this leaked anywhere, let me know. Otherwise, I'll just wait until may.

p.s. Can I be her? please?

I am a horrible person.

So my updates are kind of ridiculously non-existent, but it doesn't really matter because nobody reads this anyways.

In the news (mine and otherwise):

1. it's almost April, which means that it's almost a month until i'm done with school for a bit.

2. SPRING FLOWERS (and green grass) are both making me really happy.

3. people are kind of annoying me.

4. I have pretty much memorized the words to Never Gonna Give You Up, if only because my roommate plays it every 20 minutes.

5. I downloaded Roller Coaster Tycoon 3- wave farewell to my remaining bits of productivity.

WOO LIFE.

hopefully something insightful will follow in my next post, but i really don't have much to share.

quick updatez.

Yo.

Sooo I haven't posted in ages. And it's partially my fault and partially McGill's. But mostly McGill's. Because I love shirking responsibility.

BUT This is what has been going down:

1. I got a new computer, another macbook. Mom paid for $500 and insurance paid $800, which is good because I really don't have the extra money to spend.

2. I have 3 midterms and a transcription test coming up. That's right, 3. And a test. I don't know how I'm still alive right now. 

3. I made up the chorus for my new song "Guys can suck the balls i wish i had" in the shower but now I can't remember it.

4. I've got a couple covers on youtube, i will never love you more and anyone else but you. check it out. :)

5. I am going to see Charles Spearin's happiness project tonight. I CANNOT WAIT.

but i have to go to class. and then study till I drop.

PEOPLE SUCK BALLS

I got my comp jacked so I won't be able to post for a bit.

not that anyone is reading this anyways.

and i lost a mitten.

and i had a midterm.

oh, did I mention that SOMEONE STOLE MY MACBOOK?

I HATE PEOPLE.

i'm done.

Crimes of Fashion

1. Ugg boots and anything (especially miniskirts)

6. socks and Birkenstocks

7. Shirts or sweaters with brand names on the front

really really awful concert vids and some words

So. Lykke Li is brilliant and cute and wonderful and way shorter than I thought she was. She's just as talented in real life as in her recordings, even if her voice is completely shot from her first world tour. She has style, she's got it all. :D

I'm in love with a female.

Woo.

P.s. sorry for the absolute shit video quality. That's what happens when you go to a concert.

New things in my life

1. I got my Lykke Li Tix


2. I finally got my 10 g tunnels in



I win.

I have a confession to make.

I am madly madly in love with Justin Timberlake.

Woll Smoth, anyone?

I've hit a new low. Or high, as it may be.

woot!

My accomplishments this week:

1. I made a 4 by 6 poster of woll smoth to put on my door, virtually eliminating my entire supply of black ink

2. I finished my cognition notes and neuroscience notes

3. I made $30

4. I got a job interview at CKUT (whether I get the job is yet to be determined)

That's pretty much it. The end.

I am in love with

Coco Rosie.

Check it out:



on an unrelated note, today is not shaping up to be a great day. I mean I am in love with Obama and woo to his inaug and everything, but I really wanted Five Alive, so I went to the vending machine to get some. I put in all my money and pressed the button and it was sold out. And the machine wouldn't give me my money back. It did, however, let me buy Fruitopia fruit punch, so I did. and it was VERY unsatisfying.

Welcome to my life, mundane details very much included.

chicks I would turn lesbian for.

1. Zooey Deschanel

2. Scarlett Johannsen

3. Meg White

4. Karen Elson

5. Kirsten Dunst (I don't care what you think, she's hot!)

6. Laura Marling

7. Agyness Deyn

8. Katie White



9. Olivia Wilde

10. Alyson Shave

Syntax

So I'm in Syntax, and as pathetic as it seems, I simply can't wait until it is over. The class usually holds my attention, but I can't deal with the questions that are asked and the arguments that people end up having, which have absolutely nothing to do with the topic matter at hand. Plus, it's all stuff I learned last semester in intro to linguistics. You'd think after 6 lectures you'd start getting into new material, but nope, not yet! We'll see how things go next class.

A few things have been on my mind recently, and I feel a rant is in order, but class is about to end, so it is going to have to wait until I make another post.

I'm off to gawk at Warhol for a couple of hours, wish me luck!

P.S. Akron/Family is coming to Montreal again avec les Born Ruffians. I am stoked times a billion. :D

the best thing about my life

is how awkward it is.

Comme ca:


toothpastefordinner.com

ugh.

cookies, cakes, ice cream.
heaping teaspoons of sugar inside a tiny person,
but it doesn't matter.
no matter how sweet the food is
no matter how succulent the comfort
no matter how sugary the attempts at consolation
her heart remains acrid.
