two of me could not exist. i would be psychotically jealous of the other one constantly comparing myself to her. teacher goes is it wrong to have a favourite? of these two? no i don’t think so. but if you wanna go cuckoo meta about it see how there’s puma written on my shirt, then it’s backwards, and i’m reversed so then the word is written unbackward, which would mean that it’s reversed-reveresed? then, where am i? there is no real me?

it’s a nice dress why only wear it once? lulz. she’s going all magnetic zeroes on us.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5734594175/in/photostream/

we did not like these chicks in our space up here but played nice until i told one to tell her friend that she was, and i quote, “a fucking bitch” because i ran after all of them with their jacket and the girl goes, oh, not ours, i go are you sure because you were the only people up there. they took from my good time to go chase after them then give me who the fuck are you-ness? nuh uh. TWO minutes later a girl comes back all frantic WHERE IS MY JACKET? i said it’s over there but make sure you tell your friend that she’s a fucking bitch ok? she’s like for real? i go yeah dude i ran down the stairs on your heels with this jacket and she wouldn’t even attempt to ask ANY of you if it belonged to you so go tell her for me that she’s a fucking bitch, thank you i mean it. they didn’t come back after that, well not the one who got my telegram anyway. teacher lisa and courtney saw it all go down, we were taking their spot as they were leaving vip so now it’s our territory but the rules state that if the prior guests leave anything behind you go do a solid and deliver it to them. which is what i did cos i’m a hawk-eye and saw a black coat rammed beneath a chair so i motion in retarded not even real words speak to courtney to go throw that jacket at the girls down the stairs which courtney has no idea what i am even saying so i go UGH and do it myself and then that happens and then the other thing happens.

this is so carrie. creepy. but anyway, one of my psychotic scary raymisms is DON’T MAKE ME TELL YOU TWICE or DON’T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF because i am ALWAYS right, the first time around, and it comes out nice and sweetly but if you question my knowledge and instinct you will regret it. that’s all. i go sopranos like that. which apparently was a very popular show right, i never watched an episode. lulz.

ever notice how crazy bitches love they baths?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5734410710/in/photostream/

it expunges you of your cuckoo. a nice soak. calming, meditative. i can pass out in a bath easy, so have too. don’t worry i won’t drown i lie on my back with my arms up in the air like i’m going down a waterslide, looks totally stupid but for some reason i feel comfortable this way.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5733861505/in/photostream

i think depression and baths have a link definitely. depressed people generally lead isolated lives (if they’re lucky ahhaa) and you have this expanse of time all around you like a desert and a bath is a nice way to kill time, it’s luxurious, pharaoh’s broads are all about it all drippin’ in gold and rubies, wet and sexy, sign me up.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5734412766/in/photostream/

i do my best thinking in the bath, half the ideas of which swirl down the drain when the plug is pulled, if it was so great i’d go write it down right. if it’s so important then i’ll get up and out to it otherwise the world can wait. one of my favourite raymisms.

i do my nails in the tub then i read, if i have time. this is why it takes me a long time to finish books lately. i don’t make time for them other than in the bath. all my other reading happens on computers.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5733866883/in/photostream/

teacher bought this when i first made mention of bathing and how important it is to me, i’d have to leave to go to adventurehouse to shower cos the hot water here only lasted 2 minutes. teacher got on that shit and made a call, the water people never had to come cos now it’s scalding hot for as long as you want i think they just flipped a switch or something. when the teacher drew my first bath it was kill a baby hot. which i told him. guys don’t know anything about baths cos they not crazy bitches, seen?

then i was recognized at the chinese restaurant afterward. um we kind of got in a cab car accident too i just remembered but everyone told me i was drunk and it didn’t happen. um i was in the back by the door i felt the nudge heard the scrape and we WERE drag racing that cab (stupidly)(and i smelled burnt rubber!) our driver passes a guy and we kept wavering closer so fucking close it was terrifying i was so pissed then he stops under the bridge they get out shake hands decide to cover their asses that nothing happened and our driver comes back and i am fuming. but teacher and lisa are good about it. maybe if they were sitting where i was sitting they’d change their tunes. anyway, and THEN we all start fighting about where in chinatown we’re going, um i don’t even call it chinatown drunk me was thinking i call it simply just “on spadina” when i am refering to eating chinese food. maybe we should call it spa-china? omg that is so good. i’ll get all lit up again if i type about our squabbling so i’ll end it there. my fortune said i am charming and i made a table of fans beside us. the teacher and i got in a very annoying argument in the cab if i was that driver i’d have shot myself it was so stupid. long story short, i am right. always. haha. ok fine we were both wrong. except one was more wrong than the other and it wasn’t me.

don’t get mad at me get mad at bipolar. if it rhymes it reads. one time at midtown (thanks to me) we were rhyming words to lucas’ name (who wasn’t present but all our scumbag friends were, well maybe he was, were you?) like lucas! pucas! mucus! and then cheryl comes up and goes LUPUS (by mistake) which was downright phenomenal (freudian) because my ex (dirtbag) bf was there who’s beloved sister died of lupus. yeah, sad. good one cheryl i’d say of all the moments you would like to hang yourself for that one would be right up there. i just tore out my favoured longest fingernail this made me so uncomfortable to recount haha. we all turned into statues and then my ex goes it’s fine, what? nothing. like purely normal, so normal, major total good act there, then immediately splits down the stairs and our eyes get HUMONGOUS and cheryl was speechless. tim was just a-gog and put both hands on his head, OH MY GAWD he shuddered laughing and me of course i was in pieces, laughing and cowering, fearing the ensuing explosion at some point down the road.

i worked out with tyler today well he had more of his assessing (which is in all actuality a big work out, grueling, you’re being tested for all of your aerobic abilities, to the limit) while i had my workout. he said he wished he started back when i started at the motion room cos we’d be on the same program by now but never too late right. i told him he’s going to become addicted to it soon. james said he did really well on the bike thing. i worked out so hard today i scraped skin off my elbows haha, from the plank on my towel and the bosu thing. pics of all that soon. i said can you imagine if you get all ripped and then the media will be all over you and he goes don’t say that that’s like saying the leafs will win the stanley cup, cart before the horse type deal. fine, i get ya tyler.

these were uploaded may 9. so every time you personal train that is considered one day closer to your goal, that day of work, the time that passes, considering you don’t eat like a pig or drink like belushi, it’s now the 18th so 9 days ago i am 9 days ago fatter in these pictures, this is how my special brain visualizes and breaks down the jargon (terminology) personal trainers deliver me 3 times weekly. i wish we took photos on the wednesday instead because i was uber-duber-lithe, albeit weak (ground zero menses day). i am bloated from being pre-menstrual in these photos. not too badly. ok with that out of the way lets look at me more but quickly though i want to walk stella the pizza crust i just fed her got her all jacked for a jog and now she won’t stop hovering me cos now she thinks my fingers are made of pizza crusts.

all last week and the one before i wore the most dirtbag of outfits. pretty much all the cute outfits you’d see me wearing in front of the fire or in a pub, picture them in exercise form. half my stuff is here and half there.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5711416308/in/photostream/

these pictures are helpful for me to remember moves in case i want to show my mom or do them if i happen to come upon a big exercise ball somewhere. i will run on the beach in south beach every day to ward of fat paranoia.

i can do this with 20s as well. i could go pump iron on venice beach like a nutcase eh. that would be, fun? man i wish my other gym membership wasn’t expired just for one day i’d like to go back all ripped like this and do a bunch of bicep curls, tricep extensions, squats, all of it. i think time would stand still. totally. i could make that happen i know the guy who owns the tanning salon beside it.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5711424762/in/photostream/

i am too busy just to bike to my old gym purely out of spite haha actually no sounds like something i would specifically make time for. ooh yeah totally i hate one of the front desk chicks then of course the dude i picked up somehow even though i was a blob. this is a total jenny jones moment. see my thigh line defined all fine now? kash said ooh you have the line.

hahahahaha. ugh. leg lifts? makes your innards all hot like you might crap yourself. that means it’s working. which is what i told tyler today, sometimes you feel like you are going to shit yourself. well, don’t. yeah, i try not to shit myself everyday. we are coming up with new motion room slogans. tyler is like me, non-stop jokery commentary. what a relief!

when your fat days are what your skinny days used to be, you know you’ve made progress. i can say it the other way around too (what people who think they’re smart like to call, vice versa) when my skinny day is a skinny day, uhh, whups, doesn’t work vice versa NOT SO SMART NOW!

i want one. they’re about $150 i think? no idea what it’s called but you resist each other and i guess you extend and bend re-extend each arm like you would a bow and arrow while the other guy pulls, the more you lean the harder it is, there are so many ways to augment this tug of war.

i want cheese so much right now. teacher wouldn’t stop talking about cheese for the rest of the night. after our failure of a meal at harlem underground we left feeling a lot better about ourselves and life in general after all the cheese we had at the drake thanks to my foodie jump rope ties.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5730600995/in/photostream/

cheese off. cheese masters. afrim, cole, michael. afrim was knighted by france re: his cheesexpertise so i think he wins here, just in showing up. however, maybe cole wins because he said his wife knows everything about me, that my name is in their household daily. YOU WIN I DON’T CARE HOW WRONG YOU (if by chance) WERE. then again, michael could win cos he makes great grilled cheese sandwiches (mid-post) but afrim builds cheese adventurehouses, tough call.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5731374412/in/photostream

he was able to do it based on melodie’s meticulous (incredibly detailed) floor plan of adventurehouse. he said he almost gave up 4 times, it drove him to madness. guy try LIVING in it LOL.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5731374528/in/photostream/

narnia’s got nothing on adventurehouse. ps. check it out you can see pics of mel’s paris trip on it. is she back yet?

teacher is staring at me like a lovesick puppy in many photos. he had a mysterious groupie somewhere in the room last night who we think we figured out and was kind of dismissive to me (WHAT F–ING ELSE IS NEW WORLD!)(mean girls who are mean because i look like a cupcake are predictably dour i’m sorry the teacher likes cupcakes!)(no i am not) but on twitter was fan-girling over him. SO bizarre. yet again will never link his twitter, been there, done that!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5730597403/in/photostream/

speaking of fan girling see mine here, but i am fan girling them (or just checking in saying hi whatever) but you see how mutual shyness ruins everything or we are all just spread out cuckoo equally? i know afrim is, that guy is awesome. i think i drank too much x-bold coffee (a pot!) today i can’t control what my fingers are typing anymore aggh.

positive reinforcement like so, cole gets a thumbs up. you kids pay attention now.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5730595695/in/photostream/

what he didn’t know was that colleague had already thrown him under the bus when he mentioned raymi was coming. i think it’s fair though as i’m always at a disadvantage cos everyone knows me before i know them, or they hide that they know me then i go and talk to them like a regular person all insecure and shit.

today i am washing my hair for the first time since friday’s hair appointment. pretty good. pretty crimpy too. like this cabbage patch doll i used to have. did you know i was born the same year cabbage patch kids were invented? 1983. also same year as the chicken mcnugget. billie jean was the number one song. what am i a category in jeopardy? (yes).

THIS IS WHAT WORKING LOOKS LIKE. it’s funny following foodies on twitter, shit about wine tastings at 1, luncheons at 3, go life. i knew the cheese was cow’s milk and therefore could use the bovine but first an elusive beautiful nod to our irish temper buddies, emerald will suffice. i call this pairing of jamesons and 3 year aged cheddar EMERALD BOVINE. delicious. i know hockey players for some reason are into jamesons and pickle juice, the only time of which i’ve tried it i was already gassed so i’m none too sure if it’s any good, is it?
