fil told me the success dress would be out of place, i suspect he’s just jealous he does not have an outfit the equivalent of a boner-gun like i do, though.

when i wear stuff to try and fit in it usually ends in disaster b’cos the entire time i am focused on how uncomfortable i am and can only opperate on a c-game level. pretty dry.


catered! guess who introduced themself to the “help” because they thought they were family/friends?

ha! coincidentally he was wearing the same sweater.

if you were wondering/worried about me never fear, by the end of the nite everyone fell in love with this guy (that would be me).

had the same horse as a kid.

i just looked at a picture of a deep-fried cheeseburger so right now i am playing with fire in-looking at these.





i feel you amber.

this image was on the screen since we first got there, so about 6 hours at least, it did not change.

more later, it’s felt-time.

december 2006 archives.

i’m a blessing.

such a prude i’ve become.

YOU’RE BLOWING IT

nsfw.

so his reward for being a sexist dick is standing in the cold, hungover and crabby while i ignore him completely from indoors.

if he were a dinosaur he would be a pterodactyl, see:

i’d be like you are not coming with us if you are going to look like a lesbo

let this be a lesson to the world, if you give me a bullshit present ever i will blog about it so hard you will have a nervous breakdown.

read dry.

some pictures.

i know they were talking about me cos they were laughing AND THEN THEY TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS ON ME AND LEFT THE FUCKING BATHROOM HOLY SHIT.

i won.

when people care enough to diss you – youve made progress

some pics.

me: O
that is what my mouth looks like right now

they were more like un-yum

these people for some reason are really into hanging out with kids and forcing them into random bursts of communal singing, usually about bicycle streamers and garage sales and science projects and turkeys in straws, apparently

this concludes BE JEALOUS OF RAYMI.

don’t thank me, thank baywatch.

raymi emoticon

ok, riley.



i think pigout fest 2007 is catching up with me, or maybe the change of weather and less walking, or the 60 drinks a day diet, maybe it’s that.


fil’s new purse.

see size difference.


fil better cherish that stupid magazine and read it at least fifty times.

fil was creating his own wildlife issue.



there are tiny sparkly snowflakes on the stamps oh man i’m such a grandma and don’t forget the bonus snowflake circle stickers!

sorry boring post all we did last nite was watch pirates of the caribbean at world’s end which was 3 hours long-feeling and totally ridiculous, so many things didn’t make sense in it and i couldn’t remember anything from the previous movie so i was lost and asking questions every 5 minutes. fun!


and now i get to meet family of fil’s that i have never met before and in obsessing over the visit in my head for the last month i have made my stomach as fat as possible today and i have no idea what to wear and which parts of my personality to tone down and/or bring forth. fil is already wearing a collared-shirt oh great thanks fil that SO helps my nerves!


maybe i’ll do my requisite sweater collared-shirt duo and then they will be like why has fil been dating a lesbian slob for the last three years?

christie did that.


and get this, the pants (not shown) i was planning to wear today, fil does not like them, and he thought he told me this, but so didn’t, in his head all the time while i was wearing them he was like i hate those pants so much that he thought i knew, so now my “safety” pants aren’t safe. haha do the safety pants HEY doodeedoodee…


pray for mojo.


drunk strobelight dancing
a la NOW magazine’s holiday party at the courthouse. swank. end of the nite and 600 drink tickets later.


yoko ono fight


stil partying
don’t forget me when i’m gone.


NOW magazine’s holiday party

warning: some s-talk takes place.

head pinching party

somehow i missed this review tony did of my book.





that’s the lamp i turned off.

i bought fil a new camera bag for his birthday (i buy his present early to get it over with before the big xmas shoppingathon and before i spend all my money on myself), the one he was carrying around got on my nerves too much, it’s like hey guys i brought my cooler to your party/concert/bike ride – i suspect docked him some coolness points, and me too by association, not good. it was an expensive bag, i could have bought a shitty digital camera for the cost of that thing. i almost wanted him to get the national geographic safari-looking bag but the NG logo was a bit too big, and we don’t really go on safaris, so there’s that. i had no idea how much camera stores are camera-geek mecca and how many looks i got, and even my picture taken paparazzi-style, i jumped on one guy and said can i see what you took and he showed me a picture of me as deer-caught-in-headlights looking. for you single lonely ladies go to henry’s, not the main one, but the one where all the discounted merch is, and if you don’t come out of there with a new boyfriend then i dunno, you must be phenomenally disfigured-looking or something. we bought the bag from downtown camera after looking in both henry’s, we like to choose the little guy and they matched the price of henry’s bag.


lip piercing holes come in handy. it’s closed now, it’s not even a hole, just an annoying divet. i had that in there a solid ten minutes and no one noticed.

when we walked into downtown camera two cops were in there and i was thinking oh great can’t wait to see the bloodshed, but no, they were just looking at fancy cameras. i had to go up beside one to ask the price of the camera bag and i think one took my picture i was too scared to look at him though and ask about it i almost peed in my pants and then another cop came in, then they all left and as they were walking past us fil was moving to look down in the showcase and i was moving to the left to avoid him and the cop walking by me and i was so nervous and hot and stuffy in my winter jacket that i ended up tripping over fil’s foot and punching him slightly in the glasses!

then i looked at one of the camera dudes and we gave each other a wtf? look and i mouthed that was weird and then the camera guys talked about cop guns.

speaking of national geographic i bought fil the special wildlife issue and it was 14 fucking 95! i didn’t find that out until i was taking a wizz and looking at my receipts, i intended for it to be a surprise but the price changed that, it is too expensive to be a surprise, i had to let it out.

if you want to see some big balls you should go on over to bmv on bloor.

how jealous does this make you?

a saturday afternoon chat with cousin jamie.

me: hi

Jamie: hello. i am reading your blog

me: okhai

Jamie: “raymi is busy. You may be interrupting.

me: i have that to ward off nerds

Jamie: ha

me: it does not apply to you

Jamie: ohh
i kept seeing that

me: its funny people actually respect it too

Jamie: and figuring you were talking to a more exclusive clientele

me: its like talking to someone who has a puppet on their hand, you believe the puppet to be the one doing the talking
did i just say a meme?

Jamie: are you trying to tell me that i’m talking to a puppet??

me: no i am comparing the BUSY chat icon to someone
oh nevermind
my brain is too complex for you

Jamie: i know! i was just trying to push it to a more absurd level
it’s my specialty

me: it is

Jamie: someone says something funny, then i push it one step beyond funny
to not funny

me: yeah thanks for doing that
what are you going to do today napoleon


Jamie: going to deborahs jewelry shindig
she has to be there all day
i’m not going until later

me: you should show up wearing all of her pieces

Jamie: she already called me and said it was super boring and that the other designers are “poo-pooing her”

me: and unbutton your shirt like sting

Jamie: being snooty
yes!
i’ll have to see if she left anything behind for me to wear

me: its cos shes tall and hot and they all probably look like trolls

Jamie: a pair of bold earrings
she said that everyone is boring

me: bold is as gay as saying handsome
THESE DISHES ARE SO HANDSOME
thats an inside joke me and fil have about his dad referring to the dishes he gave fil as handsome
i said it when we visitted once, i said it about the new rangehood

Jamie: and the people who are there to shop and poke around are mostly crusty old upper-east-siders

me: fil almost busted up laughing
ew

Jamie: handsome
ha
that is pretty gay
“my, that’s a handsome tie you have on”

me: deborah should make herself look uglier i bet she’d get more business


fil told me she’s suing over this cos she hasn’t had anything done.

Jamie: you’re ugly, but your tie is handsome

me: oh dont be so bold
she should wear a dusty grey wig

Jamie: i started getting paranoid that other people googled her and found my blog and saw naked pictures of her and that i ruined her career

me: career ruiner
well then she could advertise to porn stars
she should email bust magazine and get them to do a piece on her

Jamie: do porn stars wear jewelry?

me: make it all punk independent woman angle
im going to email bust and plead my woman case to get more fame
pornstars wear necklaces and earrings
im blogging all of this

Jamie: pearls
oh no you’re not
it’s dull
you never post when i’m on

me: yes i am its funny!
well maybe you should think about that
ha

Jamie: i mean “on”

me: i know
you are talking to doctor on right now duh

Jamie: can you write prescriptions?


fil wants me to clarify that I drew the penis bush and that he wrote ‘lauren loves the’ even though it is inherently obvious and thus ruins the joke, fil doesn’t want you guys thinking he’s some penis bush egomaniac for some reason.

i LOVE sober nite i’ve never been so wasted!



c got herself some new hair, took a thousand ugly pictures of us, put them on flickr, then went to work so they can’t be deleted. fil is finding an ugly picture of her right now to put up. funny anecdotes to come once my eyes open up a little more. last nite we were supposed to have one glass of wine with dinner then watch pirates of the caribbean whichever the last one is that we haven’t seen yet is called, anyway, we had nice thai then walked to the movie store then on our way back i say hmm should i have a martini just to have a nice buzz while i watch this stupid movie and christie said i’m in and fil of course caved, we go to the labyrinth lounge wherein i notice it is 3 dollar jack nite.

fil had 6 of those and 1 dirty martini.

me and christie had 4 dirty martinis.

sober nite <3 oh and we stared at the noah’s party across the room too and made jokes that are probably hilarious once i can remember them. i guess i should watch it cos i left some of my cards in the bathroom there. oh i remember i said hey look noah’s is annexing the annex! then i turned off a lamp and sat back down on the couch just cos. dear noah’s hi how are you, uh we bought some lactose free milk the other day and the expiry date is dec 9 and my boyfriend just dumped it down the sink cos there were chunks in it, why yer products gotta be so shady? this is what i wanted to ask you last nite because i can see through time and i knew that this morning the milk would be foul. ps. you guys are panty waists, your bar tab sat at 99 dollars all nite long and there was like 20 of you.

today is the anniversary of john lennon’s death, also my grandfather’s too, who was a great man. party on you guys.

gord downie doing search and destroy with the sadies at the horseshoe video.

if you want to read a funny blog you should check out sixty-six.

so these people from niagara falls came up to our table near the dancefloor at the horseshoe because they are friends with one of us, and guess what, it’s so dark back there you are basically in a dungeon, you can’t see shit, so we did not know that they were even there to begin with, and then they vanished. i go outside and someone in our group said yeah my friends said you were all rude to them and sneered at them, no wait, i can’t remember the word, i think it was sneered, anyway you get the point, apparently we all sneered at them and were really pretentious because we were all taking pictures of ourselves, and we are really rude. whatever niagara falls i don’t have night vision goggles ok? i DO remember introducing myself and fil to one of these people who did not run away crying actually, which would classify me in the NOT-rude category.

it was stated that these people have a hate-on for toronto because toronto is rude to them. WRONG. it is actually them being rude to toronto and have an incorrect pre-conceived notion about how they will be treated by toronto and ps. it’s called social skills, use them next time. also they think toronto hates niagara falls. dude, we don’t know anything about niagara falls other than the falls, the casino, and the wax museums, and the american tourists – there is nothing to hate because THERE IS NOTHING ELSE. build yourself a cultural identity not solely based upon hating on the rockingest city in the country that you are not and maybe party down a little bit hi nice to meet you.

and btw, taking pictures of yourself is not pretentious at all, it’s pretty much the complete opposite, mayhaps if you joined the year 2007 like the rest of the world and their grandma and bought a digital camera you would know that and another thing, we are a travelling gong show with zero capacity for pretention, lots of dick jokes and booze, no pretention. nice try.

i don’t even think any of us are originally from toronto, we just live here.

these peeps told my buddy that she has “changed” now that she lives here. serglreiugIUAVGVABK>C:Freh!!!! people who say that are the biggest most insecure penises ever hi maybe focus on yourself instead?

i don’t know why they had to make it a niagara falls vs. toronto war, i don’t have a crystal ball (sadly) so how do i even know where you are from? oh wait, drast! you figured out my secret powers i can tell where everyone lives! ps. WHO CARES! i will even talk to a rock if it will pay me attention for crying out fuck!

Elizabeth: I am meeting my only female friend here for a walk with the dogs

me: do you know how many times u tell me about her

Elizabeth: oh

Elizabeth: no

me: you might want to do some fact-checking

Elizabeth: she is from

still, im not ruling out greece

Elizabeth: haha
ok lover girl
party hearty
xoxo

me: bye big tits

fil‘s pictures times funsies!

i was asking him if he wanted to be my email friend and he said no then i said ok how about real life then and he said something poetic with NO at the end (i think) and then wendi whispered something unintelligible in his ear and he said here’s something my good friend neil young said keep on rocking in the free world and left, i asked wendi what she said, she says i don’t know, i asked did you blow it for us, she said yes. that’s great, and i wonder why i have social anxiety?

on my way to grossman’s everyone was walking really fucking slow, wendi and liam were TRASHED and liam kept swinging his commemorative beer glass and it made me super nervous so i threw ice balls at him.

i started the balloon beer thing, it only spread to fil, what else is new?

hi i don’t know if we’ve met before, i am the creepy awkward loser at your party, i like playing hangman and collecting beanie babies.

gill is borrowing my shirt indefinitely she says.
