at least i look happy.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078194961/in/photostream/

it always goes down in the kitchen. people will talk you to death in a kitchen. don’t you love that at house parties standing under unattractive overhead lighting and someone with bad beer breath is close talking to you about their fucking job. ugh.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078787740/in/photostream/

my date was all the way down the hall stuck in a polite adult party manners vortex so we blasted the tunes to taunt and show what’s going on in the kitchen haha so he’s like sitting in a chair listening to britt talk about whatever the fuck forced to pay his new guy dues meanwhile out of his peripheral vision, down a classically long toronto house hallway…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078193529/in/photostream/

maintaining composure and a straight face he excuses himself from the quiet sitting living room party as if he has to hit the bathroom.

do you remember when they tried to have an intervention for the mom on arrested development she shows up they’re all completely polluted shitbombed and are like mom you have a driii-kennng problum hahaha.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078786166/in/photostream/

it was a failed intervention but it was the best family party drinking celebration we ever had. if you can get me the exact quote that would be appreciated.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078785474/in/photostream/

i am thankful for cuttin’ loose with people i love.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078785184/in/photostream/

which is like 365 days a year 24/7 but it’s nice to have an official day to honour it though and a day after to sleep it off. i actually wasn’t as wasted as everybody else just in a good mood and happy for somewhere to be. simple shit.

drew a new chair on a bigger canvas yesterday. it is just as retarded if not more than this. definitely more. sass had to help me sketch the finishing touches cos my brain shorted out, was roadblocked by perspective of the arms and ugh, i am demented.

perfectionist lives here. i told her something was askew on my way out just to get her going hahahhaha. loosen up monica!

i like some of my pictures to be sideways despite this being meant to be portrait. it’s cos i am tall i can’t get my entire body in if i do it landscape, which i prefer over portrait cos it’s more aesthetically pleasing on my blog when i do a photo overload post. when i thrust my camera into your hands and say landscape i can get a bit snippy if you don’t listen to me and do portrait. do me landscape and do me head to toe and never from below otherwise don’t do me at all i’ll find some hobo off the street to take my picture. i am the boss and this is how i like it, no arguments.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078209413/in/photostream/

there’s always a mixture of portrait and landscape shots from my reel of the night and i want to use everything but i know how sloppy it looks to jump from landscape to portrait. landscape is always dominant. every so often there’s an annoying portrait thrown in i just can’t not (neurotic perfectionist) blog.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078801914/in/photostream/

so in order to bridge the gap and make an effort to unslop it up i force a caption about said photograph or something nonsensical, non-sequitor, to make a big chunk of text beneath it which makes more space on the page before the next grouping of landscape pictures. see?

these are the things i actually think about every single day.

there is a science to blogging. an art. i know how craptastic my layout now is trust me i got a million guys in my ear about it.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078208197/in/photostream/

it’s always been my secret smug amusement that i have so much fucking traffic and such a mental looking blog when there are numerous, countless, beautifully designed websites out there with no readers.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078800458/in/photostream/

content will always trump design. i am proof of this.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078800176/in/photostream/

that being said there will be an overhaul in these parts pretty soon. as well as fifteen hundred other ridiculous things on the horizon.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5078206821/in/photostream/

running out of steam thinking about all the stuff i have to do.

giving away buttons is the best cos it means you get to buy a new one and you always see them in every store. there’s tons around adventurehouse too.
