being from a land that in many places mimics a pre-industrial revolution, or even a pre-contact environment; i am annoyed to report that in the absense of garbage, seagulls will congregate in giant colonies just to freak out over natural things like crayfish or fish guts or dew worms.

they’re nature’s garbageman, pretty tough to think of it as a noble bird when there are so many other birds that don’t have garbage hanging out their mouths. but it’s true, an eagle’s a scavenger too and people think of an eagle as awesome, so why not seagull? probably their evil red eyes.

Hey so since I’m drunk right now I can tell you why people hate on you so much and not just the jealousy thing. Well kinda the jealousy thing. I feel like you know this and also that people tell you this all the time but I’m going to say it because I have zero inhibitions right now. You are a beautiful girl with extraordinary talent paving your own way through this world of conformity and dependence. You do so much just for yourself and it inspires me to be a more confident and “go-getterish” woman every single day I read a new post. I love what you do because it makes me feel like a true friend is confiding in me and that gives me comfort for some reason. This turned out to not be a why people hate on you thing and more of a novel but whatever. Sorry for being so longwinded and annoying but I can’t help it.

I love the components for the parkdale drink, though I am fairly certain someone on the DTES has beat ya to it. Enjoy the forest, I just came back from a forest foray of sorts – it was so serene, peaceful, and beautiful.

Then you come back to the city. No one prepares you for that.

Hey Raymi, I’m a long time lurker, first time poster. I nearly spit out my coffee when I read your description of the non-existent Parkdale Martini. As a former resident of Parkdale I concur that would probably be the ultimate “salut” to Parkdale.

I also came out of the shadows to congratulate you on quitting your job and taking the risk. It’s a ballsy thing to do and only those who have the balls can do it and do it successfully.

You will be successful and piss on the wanker-haters who say otherwise.

I (selfishly) hope quitting your job gives you more time for writing. I love your voice.

Congrats on the decade, Raymi. I think you should do power point that aids trivia– it’s how we do at O’Hanlon’s.

Seagulls can be shithawks. They are also terrible, ugly animals, regardless of the proclivity for shitting everywhere.

It would be awesome if Kele Okereke sang this song during his performance tonight:
