she. another night, another pillow.

can your heart feel this kind of awesome?

scraped my hip too for good measure. this was after the audition haha ugh was going through the financial district everything was fine then i got cocky and thought i could take this massive spider vein of streetcar tracks. no such luck. at least i know i can fly now holy fuck i took air. got up grabbed board had earbuds in so if anyone gasped i didn’t hear it. scared the shit out of a cabbie about to bank a left i was on all fours did a jump squat to right myself up and beat it the crap out of there.

chong: doesn’t look too bad
not good though
how bad was the spill?

me: bad

chong: did you look like a retard?

me: palms are sore but skin didnt break

chong: nice belt

me: i looked really good actually i made it over a ton of tracks but then this one huge cluster i didnt make it over
board stayed where it was
i flew in the air

chong: i don’t ride over tracks

me: yeah well i didnt either before today

chong: i don’t trust them

me: i wouldve made it if not for this bigger gap

chong: you were trying to look cool in front of the suits

me: i made it over a cluster of them anyway it fucking kills
people tried to rush to help me but i scrambled up too quick and immediately put weight on it which might have been a bad idea
walked it off like a champ

chong: you should have blamed it on someone

me: was listennig to music im sure i made a stupid noise

chong: people prob thought you were 16

me: i think i yelled oh fuck
yeah i look like a student in my skate clothes
but a block away and no one remembers

chong: ya, i yelled oh fuck in slow motion while i flew off my LB a couple years ago

me: suits were feelin me
that sucks

chong: i was drunk though so i didn’t feel a thing

me: ive boarded for 6 years and that is only the second time ive wiped out

chong: i’ve wiped out on my bike a few times

me: i blasted down harbord once at 3am ripped out of my mind timed it with the stoplight, super dangerous. made it thru linux cafe intersection there

chong: i’m a bit wimpy with my LB… not too good with hills

me: chick boarders stand out way more its kinda harder
yeah if i know i cant do something i stop and grab it
and just walk for awhile which is how i made my way home
smoked half a joint at one point

chong: gotta get a new one this weekend

me: yes
ill try to find my trucks for you just buy a board the whole thing is expensive mine was 300

chong: the pot prolly helped loosen you up

me: no then i went into terroni

chong: i’ll use mine from my old board

me: and immediately sobered up
also it was raining so i had to walk a bit
oh duh right

will you still love me tomorrow from raymi lauren on Vimeo.

in this piece of genius we see how i injured my OTHER hip bone three evenings ago. you get the dropsies when you’re menstruating. steph can vouch for that but what’s my excuse the other 25 days of the month?

rolled a consolation dewber in the bathroom of second cup. felt right skidly.

bumped into kenny and auds, well walked by the window and we both double-taked. the blonde hair is throwin’ everyone off.

they were killing time while mr. peeps was getting groomed. i had an americano and half of kenny’s sandwich. noel sent me this article while i was there. skimmed it, assume it pretty much aligns with my personal “careful neurotic eating” diet of the past when i first shed 20lbs.

my hip is stinging. think i’ll make some leftover jerk. work at 7. it’s TIMA nite (independent music awards) which is always interesting. you should drop in.

we miss you joey!

dear anna,

someone suggested this name.

How about something like Minx Van Manen? Van Manen means “from the moon.” Kinda mysterious.

i like Lida Hosen just fine though.

Its nice to have humour in it and room to play.
