Oh god I’d post the link to all that life-hating high school webjunk (poetry? prose? proof that I’m a complete dipshit?), but I think I’d die of embarrassment.

yeah write in a journal about how much you hate your life until you leave said small town then when you move to the city reference small town non-stop til you move back.

Wait, here’s what I mostly did… #7: Create angsty teenage bullshit about how much your life sucks. Spend 3 hours uploading it to the internet. Use it in your portfolio to get into art school. Use art school to get the fuck out of Nowheresville. Drop out of art school, stay in the city.

Trying to think of what things I miss about living in Nowheresville, Ontario, because those are obviously the things to do. I don’t think there’s any way to avoid going crazy if yer into cities (I lived in Vaughn just long enough as a kid to get spoiled on it). Unfortunately, #1 isn’t very helpful: drive 45 minutes to Toronto. #2: Get drunk. #3: Get high. #4: Mushrooms. (Do you see a pattern emerging?) All of these are improved around a campfire, BTW. Other than those… #5: Get fat while watching broadcast TV (because you don’t get cable). #6: Spend 3 hours downloading a single webpage (because you don’t get cable). Yeah, it’s basically doom, no way around it.

calling it simply horton’s for short is acceptable and that’s it.

but what if you can’t get out of the small town and yer a city guy, then what?

i got fat and crazy and lasted 3 months in maine.

Agree with Krista. Best way to survive in a small town is to get the hell out (or, if you’re not already in one, stay the hell out). If you have to spend any time in one, you need to try to blend in. If they don’t recognize you (everyone usually knows EVERYONE) and you don’t even at least LOOK local, they’ll treat you like shit. They don’t take kindly to yer kinda folk around here etc. Your fancy city-folk duds probably screwed you over.

What about saying T-Ho’s? Or Timmy Ho’s? Is that acceptable? Not that it’s relevant, since the nearest one is in Detroit (though I’m sure they’ll take over the world eventually). When I worked there we were all chicks so we called each other the Timbitches, get it? Har har har. Random lame fact. Trying to avoid working…

fil’s beard collects everything too.

the fact that people forget/don’t know blogging existed well before myspace and that my loooong available archive list proves it amuses me as well as makes me feel very embarrassed for these people.

favourite is canadian for favorite.
