Monthly Archives: November 2007
KEEP VOTING it’s not over yet.
me: it’s hard to read your webpage in China since blogspot is blocked, so I don’t keep up as well as I would like.
raymitheminx: i have raymitheminx.com
does that work
me: checking it!
nope, it doesn’t seem to fly
raymitheminx: oh well
sorry i missed you when you were here tho im sure it was more your fault than mine
me: oh well indeed.
probably.
ha!
no. I’m awkward and shy.
not much has changed in the past few (thousand) years
and I was barely in Toronto
but I’m back for good next year.
we can have a momentous meeting.
re-meeting
raymitheminx : u were shy of moi?
me: yes, and in general.
you’re inevitably buying into a probably awkward first meeting
raymitheminx : omg but we are buddies!
no way
me: BUDS.
hahaha!
raymitheminx: not allowed
me: thanks, that’s encouraging!
raymitheminx: its ok im an egomaniac i wont even notice you
haha
me: hahah!
raymitheminx: wait what, what are we doing here?
me: hm, yes, what.
raymitheminx: what time is it there
me: one thing that’s great about China (aside from the counterfeit dvds) is that it is not cold here yet.
it’s 1 in the am
I’m probably off to bed soon
raymitheminx: show me a picture of yer bf
me: hhaha.
he’s in pictures on my facebook.
hold on
raymitheminx: kai
me: he’s in toronto right now. keeping the home fires burning.
raymitheminx: are you in an open relationship
are you devastatingly lonely
me: the devastating one
ronry..
raymitheminx: sigh
me: I have been cursed with monogamy
raymitheminx : do you guys cry to each other in emails
me: do you feel that we already had some pretty fixed paths when we were like 17
no crying allowed
we haven’t deviated much from our respective paths
raymitheminx: do i feel that u and i?
me: no, we’re pretty ok with long distance relationships
raymitheminx: well u are in china and i am in toronto
me: yes, since we last knew each other
well, there’s that
but our mindsets, personalities, desires.
etc.
raymitheminx: um
hmm
well i was in a psyche ward
that wasnt really my plan
me: it’s never really a plan, I guess.
damn you, cutting holes in my theory
my theory is unbreakable!
raymitheminx: but more or less i guess im doing what i want to be doing
i wish i had more money and fame tho
re-ask the question
me: do you make money off your website?
raymitheminx: whoops
ads
and people buy my art
and my book
it is a platform
me: I still stand by the idea that to a certain extent, I could have in some way predicted your development, vaguely, having known you at 17.
that you would be doing something bold and writing related that that you were okay with having your personal life in the public domain.
raymitheminx: you invented me!
ha
me: that things would get difficult, that those things would have gotten better. and the bad memories would have greatly informed you as a person now.
in a dark cloud sort of manner.
raymitheminx: i wasnt going to have it any other way really
me: and I would be in a retartedly long 5 year relationship
and want to settle down.
raymitheminx: i kind of dismissed highschool and decided that being popular in the real world is more important
me: that’s true.
it’s good you caught onto that one early
raymitheminx: you want kids already?
me: not like the others “oh, glory days!”
ick, no
but I want to move in with my bf.
get a joint bank account
raymitheminx: !
me: get a real job (after law school)
raymitheminx: hahahahaha
you are going to be a lawyer?
but you’re a woman
me: yeah, I’m going to osgoode hall next year
raymitheminx: you mean legal secretary right
heh
me: that is why I’m saying ‘so long’ to China next year.
raymitheminx: you are taking law in china?
me: or should I say 再见
nope, I’m just working and studying chinese here. starting law school sept. 2008
ick, school. exams.
raymitheminx: you make me feel frivolous
me: don’t, you’re supporting yourself.
raymitheminx: my job is taking pictures of retarded flowers and what i ate last nite
me: you’re building a brand
raymitheminx: and you’re an adult
me: have you heard of tumblr?
raymitheminx: no
me: uh, pyjama pants are tucked into the top of my socks
my underwear has a picture of a cartoon pig on it.
sure, I live in China, but I’m still a bit of a baby.
tumblr is like blogspot for add people.
you should check it out. on the plus side, it’s not blocked in China *hint hint
hint
I’ve got one at goodriddancetobadnews.tumblr.com
I keep having to bounce around to different sites as blogspot is crappy here.
raymitheminx: ah
how is it for ad people
oh ADD
a.d.d.
me: haha!
oh, my bad.
raymitheminx: i thought you were giving me great marketing tips
me: hahah!
I wish.
raymitheminx : metoo
do you get hit on there
me: The living cost is SO low here.
a can of coke in a convenience store costs 20 cents.
but I get paid 15 dollars an hour
so I can work less, do more.
hmm, hit on.
raymitheminx: woah
me: not really.
I do get creepy fat old expat guys in bars sometimes.
it’s disgusting
raymitheminx: is it because you look like everyone else there
me: some guys treat chinese girls really badly. I get the spillover sometimes
raymitheminx: and wear glasses
do you snap
me: it helps me to blend in
raymitheminx: i want to go there right now and punch everyone GRR
me: seriously!
it makes you really depressed about boys. a lot of them are like kids in a candy shop here.
raymitheminx: jeez
me: some relatively decent guys just come here and end up sleeping with a lot of Chinese girls and leaving them in the lurch
raymitheminx: wicked
me: albeit, both sides are using each other, but it’s still skewed to the guy’s side.
well, depends on perspective.
raymitheminx: how are white women treated there
like aliens
sexless aliens
me: I don’t want to date a guy who comes and takes advantage
they’re treated alright, I suppose. But from their perspective, I wouldn’t want to date some other expat dude who’s just sleeping around because he can capitalize on his status.
raymitheminx: right
me: it’s a weird situation.
I’m glad I’m not dating here.
dating in general.
how is your mans
by the way did I ever tell you I started reading douglas coupland books?
raymitheminx : started?
i thought all chinese girls read them
my mans is goods
me: blah, seriously?
I have always mentally linked him and you
ok this one’s the winner, not because of quality but cos of the humour which i hinted at was important. don’t fret i think i’ll decide on a second and third place later.

9:27pm November 7th
Another vote from me for you, this time from my home computer. But the gap is wide. I need to go downtown to the ghetto and start handing out .. wait, most Memphis people don’t have internet. Dammit!
I wish I could do more for you. Whatever the results, everyone knows who the real star is and it isn’t Small Dead Animals or whatever that blog is called. One day you’ll be on Letterman talking about some movie you were in and no one will even remember that other stupid blog.
**OK GO VOTE the server had issues apparently (great timing) but it’s fixed now so go give me some more votes hurry! i need to get as many more in as possible so those sasquatchenans can shut their ugly fucking faces up.
oh and if you like talking about me or watching other people talk about me as much as i do, visit here.
more on fil’s flickr.

here’s vito‘s pile of shit.

Hey Raymi,
This horrible drawing is the closest thing i can get to MS paint with my mac… that and i don’t know wtf to use on here. Its the first time I’ve tried to draw anything since Grade 7, as you can see, that is not a bad thing. I figured breaking the rules of your contest was a good way for the submissions to start, that and I really don’t feel like doin’ any lame schoolworkhahaha I wanted to try and draw some dead animals and you kicking them but that is beyond my artistic prowess (as shown by the attempt at drawing feet) and way too much effort to try. Anyways, your blog is awesome, keep it up.
Cheers.
Kay
P.S. i swear i have friends hahaha
ok so even though i technically lost this contest i will still hand out some prizes, one because this IS the better blog, my readers are cooler, intellectual, funny and kind and another because well, that’s how i do. this blog is fun, that’s the number one rule and the reason you guys keep coming back. there are too many of you to choose from so we’ll have to have a good old-fashioned competition, here it is:
BEST MS PAINT DRAWING OF RAYMI.
best can also mean worst, btw, you don’t have to be all picasso about it. bonus points for the funny, of course.
the prize for this contest is a christmas card because you have zero friends and no one mails you stuff ever. you have until tomorrow to complete this whimsical task. get going. all entries will be posted on my blog. send to raymitheminx@gmail.com
oh if you’re on a mac then use whatever program you use to draw retarded cartoons with, or if you have to draw it by hand and take a picture or scan it, do what you gotta do.
what 100% cranberry juice tastes like.
henna asked me some questions.
How often do readers recognize you on the street? Are you cool with people treating you like a celebrity or does it ever get on your nerves?
pretty often, though not always will they approach me, later on i’ll get an email from them or a comment, some say they’re starstruck or shy or whatever, it’s to the point now where friends i post pictures of are spotted independently of me when out on the town. it doesn’t get on my nerves but it can make you a bit wary or paranoid sometimes, usually not though, just a feeling in the back of your head like is that person staring at me cos they read my blog or is it just cos i’m wearing a fluorescent orange hat?
You always post pictures of food that you’ve eaten at restaurants. What are your favourite places to eat at in Toronto?
what’s best to me might not necessarily be best to others, tho i like the victory and bar mercurio (for special occasions) the green room (even tho we have had food fuck-ups including raw chicken, beer cap in soup) i will still drunk-eat there i don’t care SO TASTY. allan’s on the danforth is very nice, they have great appetizers blackened potato salad and capon wings, and soo many beers. i love shawarma from ghazale and pita q at bloor/spadina. the drake’s menu is good as well as the beaconsfield oh and we LOVE spadina gardens on dundas (used to be on spadina) why did i answer these im starving right now. all pictures of these foods can be found in my flickr sets. here and here. oh i forgot hosu on queen is amazing too.
What are the best and worst places to shop in Toronto?
even though everyone complains about h&m i dig their stuff, affordable and by the time yer over it it’s fallen out of shape anyway, and they do have some good finds there, staple items. i used to shop at le chateau but they don’t really know how to make the change into the modern it seems and everything is overpriced now, i think they’re catering more to the club scene and cougars, fuck their clothes are tacky. i have a love/hate relationship with shopping and i am into bargains while sometimes i’ll go whole hog and make a massive purchase, usually for shoes or a coat. winners is good though it kind of makes me feel crazy to walk in there and you can see madness in everyone else’s eyes too. magic pony is a great store for eccentric losers like me if it were on bloor i would be destitute.
Have you ever been wary of being photographed or have you always been comfortable with it?
i’m comfortable with it sure, during the fat years i was more controlling over pictures being taken of me, even now i still carry those feelings over, my family is what i call fatface talkers and we talk a lot so there are loads of fatface pictures out there, it sucks. i’ve relaxed a lot about it though, i know what i look like, i’m fine with some uglies here and there it’s not the end of the world if you have a double chin picture tagged on facebook.
Do you wear foundation and if you do what kind do you like the best?
i wear maybelline products because they’re good to my skin and the cheapest brand, i made the mistake of buying a more expensive mascara, big mistake, it’s destroying my eyelashes and under eyelashes, goes to show that more expensive isn’t always a better product. i use the creme mousse maybelline foundation, i used to use their correction (blemish) sticks over my entire face, what a waste of money ungh i don’t even want to think about it haha.
What other makeup do you wear daily?
i use bonne belle gold n glitze shimmer/bronzer on my eyelids and cheeks
If you had $500 to spend on makeup, what would you buy?
more lipsticks and maybe try out more expensive foundations and powders to see what they’re all about, and then stock up on the stuff i normally use.
What do you like and dislike about blogging?
it is reliable and like default oh right that’s what i need to do today, i like that but somedays when i feel like i have nothing else to say i get annoyed by it but then i check comments and remember why i do it. anonymous commenters are annoying.
What makes a good blog?
originality, humour and eye-catchy pictures and interesting content

mulagatani. i love it it’s like ordering a curry meal w/o all the carbs, no rice.
drunk city.
last nite was mental, something in the air i dunno it was an unspoken mutual agreement to just get fucked, and that’s exactly what we did. last nite has also inspired me to retire myself from karaoke, until further notice.
here in point form are some things that i did last nite:
-overflowed a toilet
-almost punched a guy for taking my hat off liam’s head then told him about how much i almost punched him
-almost punched jon for trying to duet killing me softly with me despite inviting myself to duet his song (wicked games) in-where i yelled at him over the mic the entire time to sing better and i met him 20 minutes beforehand, i deleted the video no one needs to see that again.
-told the karaoke guy christie had a wicked crush on him so that i could get ahead in the karaoke rotation and sing another song then stood beside him a bit longer telling all these things christie thinks (doesn’t) about him.

oh and way to insult to injury my losing in the polls, the thing won’t load, whatever OVER IT. i love going out with a non-bang.
