Sigh.

My hair is ridiculous. When you have platinum hair the texture of the follicle turns delicate, doll-like. Luckily my hair is resilient and can take a lot. My hair is all virgin platinum too, I only do my roots, never double-process and because of my new-found texture it goes wavy like that. My hair was perfectly straight last night and in bed I sweated like a junky withdrawing and now my hair is declaration of Independence wavy, with a little gay ponytail. I need a ruffled shirt to complete the look.

I can’t be arsed to blog proper today. I just spent an hour on the phone with rogers, got my bloody hardware upgrade and a brand new blackberry on the way which is more than half stupid as today internationally every blackberry is taking a dirt nap. I need the keyboard, if iphone had a keyboard I’d get one. They don’t, so I didn’t. I am not a robot and this isn’t the matrix, I blog, I type, you can’t change me.

I like when new trolls discover me, they fall all over themselves starting up dummy twitter accounts to troll me and comparing me to heidi montag. So naive and lazy these reactions to all things RTM.COM it never changes. They’re like this OMG WHAT? Pictures of herself! SO MANY! And her clothes! OOOH ^&%#&$#&! Like seriously people did you just stumble into the internet yesterday? How else do you get people interested in your life if you don’t fucking show it?

When I visit, Rocky only hangs out in two places now, the computer desk or my dad’s room. Stella the dog has something to do with that though she loves and tolerates cats, lives with two.

These kittens sell for $900. My uncle’s cat has popped out its third or second litter now.

Someone said elsewhere on the internet that I am built like Amy Winehouse. I think they meant hip bones. I am fine with that. Raymi Finehouse.

Papa was protecting this one from the rest of the family but I said he was killing it, its arms and legs were wedged in the couch like a fawn. This was the lap-cat of the lot. Mewling in your ears ahhh bless it I am a total kitten groupie.

I was holding back tears in this photo cos I knew I looked like an idiot and this was my first ever portrait (that I was conscious of) and I was totally nervous ps. thanks mom for curling my bangs. NOT.

Gwen Stefani is prettier as a person.

That’s my dad at 17.

Even if I wanted to “blog” I couldn’t cos all my shots are on my blackberry and can no longer email to myself. I was like, to customer support, I CAN’T WORK LIKE THIS ANYMOOOOOOOOOOOORE! Do something or I’ll go mental.

Feather earrings may be in but if they look artificial, you can’t wear them. When people jump on trends so quick they don’t always bother to get it right. As for these ones, pretty real. For seagull feathers. Haha they’re not.

Ps. these ads are all over town and if you see one be sure to go up and yank your lingerie from the poster. Too cool, they refill them as well. I’ve decided to go sexier with RTM, back to basics, things I should’ve done years ago but I let stupid bitch whiners get in my ear. CYA! Totally have a case of the Mondays on this Wednesday. I don’t know how I’ve blogged for all these years or forced myself to do so whilst feeling so aggro.

Those who can, blog. Those who can’t, comment.

Meet the bunker. My dad’s house has like eighteen basements.

Whatever it is I’m saying I’m sure you deserved it.

We made a friend in the parking lot and turns out he was going to our dad’s gig and by friend I mean weird loner guy with earphones on and OCD.

Party in the vestibule.

GATE KEEPER.

My brother looks like Charlie Sheen. You know that’s the costume of the year?

I am in the middle of a fight with my mom right now cos she sent me a comment she received from one of my trolls and it’s triggered a discussion. If you can’t handle the internet association with me then don’t step all over my domain. How can you tell me to ignore the haters when you forward one right at me? They haunt every avenue and alley that I do on the webs. Have we not learned anything? These cretins will stop at nothing to bring me down and I am not letting them. The more I start to feel better and look better they all come out, it’s so gross! And for ELEVEN YEARS NOW (this November) like dudes, you’ve always been older and less relevant than me, and what point do you expect to break me? You can email my clients as false customers and make libel cases for me but you will never stop me. Like, I am not half as arrogant as I have grounds to be based on how hard I work, all that I have accomplished, how I keep my looks polished and ahead of the trends. I can’t even toot my own horn without 40 losers attacking me, my entire family, lifestyle, past, future, age, it is disgusting. Fascinating. How come these people can’t find other shit to do? Also, why can’t they figure out that they catch more bees with honey? Did I ever say I would reject them or be mean to them? If they are so addicted to me that they can’t take it why do they let me get to them? What did I do to them exactly? Oh a topless photo in a mirror doing push-ups? And?

But don’t worry cos I am not anywhere near to my “goal” yet and the fight for it is tiresome, gruelling at best, I work very hard to keep my life interesting and when I have hopes and aspirations, instead of whining and complaining and wishing, I get proactive and put shit in motion to get those wishes granted.

My mom pissed me off cos she emailed me first thing when she gets up her tri-annual email about drinking too much that ALWAYS comes in following a family get-together, it always pisses me off, makes me snap, makes me OCD and reply with 56 caps lock explosion responses. Now I am only airing this laundry cos she seems intent on pissing me off until the day I die and so must understand that there are consequences to annoying actions. Ps. I had less than two glasses of wine on Thanksgiving so WTF. I don’t enjoy drinking, it is boring and I don’t even get wasted anymore. It just goes along with eating, which is a life indulgent for me that is equal parts business and pleasure.

I live in a fishbowl. Everyone watches me, considering half of them “hate” or have “opinions” about me, there is definitely chatter. You sense it and it makes you kind of hate everyone back, you expect this constant bullshit. When people are drawn to you, you have this extra kind of responsibility to be “on” so basically I have been performing my entire life.

And so as usual, nana triggered all of this. She said she didn’t want me to leave because she thinks I drink too much. THINKS? Um I have a fucking event to go to, concert of the year, PORTISHEAD no offence you guys (WHO ARE IN YOUR EIGHTIES!)(I am still in my twenties) but I got shit to do and a place to be and trying to bring me down about it by way of alcoholism is pathetic. So her email gets me going about that to start with to which I reply: F- YOU because I am not giving in this time and of course, Tracey unsatisfied by that pulls out her ammo, a “message from troll” comment about me instead.

Raymi has an empty soul. She looks worn & haggard from drinking and trying so hard to be physically attractive. You can see it on her face, she is worn….an empty soul. You have failed as a mother to push superficiality. Empty souls.

I don’t know what to say anymore. There is so much sexism rampant on the internet, agist remarks abound, empty vessels with no family connection or things of merit blabbity blah. As much as my mom pisses me off (TO NO END!) she has not failed as a mother. I am extremely proud of her, and love her dearly. She is a survivor.

I am over it now. For now. I sent her a photo of me in that vestibule and said DOES THIS LOOK HAGGARD TO YOU!? So livid. And last week I was “fat”. I have never been in such amazing shape in years. Yes I look tired sometimes, but I’m a Kerouac, boozing and living is in my blood and so are eye bags. I will probably get plastic surgery on them at some point. This is my life, one blog post at a time. If you can’t fucking take it then fuck off.

He doesn’t even golf anymore. Nike golf shit, expensive glove. HAhaa.

raymi flip book

I wore no makeup.

See her over there ahead of the dude, that’s right after we shook hands gah! My phone was sundialing like crazy and she so knew I was stalling her by way of hand squeeze. She nodded at me too, Beth, and me, OF PORTISHEAD, we were wearing the same outfit but mine was better with my hat and suspenders. Then she swug a gulp from her bottle of stella on stage. I swooned and screamed up into Darius’ face what happened. It’s cos of him I saw her at all, he’s a giant. He’s my lucky charm at sound academy, I always meet/brush with the greats when I take him with. Tickets were pricy and I could only get a plus one/vip. We felt special. Hardcore fans everywhere, I really liked that. Old timers like me, total emo arty educated sort.

A girl shoved me right off the bat when we arrived. I barked in her face DON’T FUCKING TOUCH ME. She’s like we were standing here for an hour! I said I am taking pictures, chill out and wait. There was a mega section of space she was territorial hogging, prized balcony real estate. If that was your spot why weren’t you standing in it. She was wasted, I said I WORK HERE. That shut her up. Wearing all black at a concert is key in these moments. Wearing an air force hat (authentic!), even better. That’s how I combed our way through the crowd to the side pocket bar, scuse me scuse me i work here just trying to get through. Ugh people and bodies and rudeness. I have no tolerance for it. Another good lie to get by I heard once was “my wife is pregnant” or I am trying to get to my friend who is pregnant, ahha I know right? And the crowd parts.

This was the one photo I got and then she bulldozed me. I knew she was going to do it before she did it and then she did it. Haha SHORT ARSE (Colin Ferrel voice) push me all you want but you can’t make me budge or see around me. her man was like i don’t want any trouble. I go up to Darius at the bar and say I already got in to a fight he goes, “already?” bahaha yes THEN he walks RIGHT where the incident happened to the couple and the dude says to Darius, “Sorry dude blabbity blah..” Darius is like ??? Turns around to me, OH right hahaha I wave and smile in a told you so face. Fuck VIP. We went down in to the under belly of the venue for more aggression. Lost Darius in the crowd, my hat fell off, bent down to get it and five gross guys are all mouth breathing, ugh. I went back to Darius and slapped him with my hat, stay close! So we had to double back past the gross guys again. If you smile your way through it only gets you halfway, you must use force and say that you work there 50 times. At the end stretch of the gauntlet of the mob a dancing mashed chick was flopping all over me and the final barrier out of the pit I said CAN YOU STOP THAT FOR A SECOND! Everyone roared with laughter. She didn’t even hear it. We got through, bumped into Claire and had the loveliest of times.

I will “be” right “back”.

Oh god, death to quotations. More like death to spam, I have a billion comments to sort out. Ugh.

Beth Gibbons shook my hand, I squeezed the hell out of hers, she squeezed back and looked right INTO MY SOUL. Ah legend. All my photos are crap, Darius’ iphone is the old one so no videos. Oh that’s right I took a bunch on Claire’s. The show was perfect. Ok brb now I have underwear that needs uselessly walking around in. It’s Canadian Thanksgiving weekend (for my american brothers reading) so don’t be alarmed.

Stayed out late last night. The moon turned big and harvesty. Orange and luminous, bloated, engorged. Clem texted me when I was at Wrong Bar, then we went to Motel, then to the Central and it was a reunion for ol raymbo. Oh god the central vortex. Nothing like everyone talking at the same time to music blaring ALL OF OUR IDEAS MAN! (stephy bahaha) at howling hour. Darius is lucky he got away and had a shawarma. Claire and I haven’t hung in ages. Dig that girl! I forget that my friends read my blog, in fact I met so many people last night who read me and halfway through my rambling at them incarnate they go I have a confession to make, I know who you are and I have read your blog for many years. Cool.

Walked our asses halfway home. Some asshole did this to every bike on college.

Yikes about the second bit. Bit of a red flag or heat score much?

I texted this to my brother the other day and he’s like who is that and I go, I don’t know but he rules.

jealous of myself

Name that window.

Ha what a bitch.

And still.

Is it a sign of aging if you like a good stroll? Dogs are good for that.

I love big ol enchanted trees.

Ahh why am I inside right now I dunno I’m an idiot I’m addicted to blogging I’ll go for a walk in an hour the good weather isn’t going anywhere, tomorrow it’ll be even nicer. Hurrah!

Virgin suicides Sofia Coppola moment.

Dad’s band killed it last night. I sang a couple songs. One is up now I’m going to check it and add it in a minute to this post.

I am into this.

All the bikes are out this time of year with avengeance.

The home stretch after our big long walk/run. A loser commented that I am getting fat again. Thanks buddy you helped me lose 3lbs by watching my diet this weekend :). But today is Thanksgiving dinner so we’ll see how much skin I stuff into my face.

We don’t need no stinking badges.

Dancing to my dad’s band. Fun times.

I forgot my dr. blobbert shirt. We made do.

I wore my penis shoes. Like that guy is a penis. You wouldn’t understand, maybe if you have a brother and talk like disgusting cretins. I was going to stick my mary jane heels in my dad’s gear but thought whatever I’ll be gong-showed plus we walked. Tom York wears track shoes with hipster jeans in the just video, that’s when I knew irony was fashionable.

Ooh I want one of those crazy german motorcycle helmets. Or the one that bad guys wear in GI JOE.

I blasted by these two on Queen holding up my jean shorts (so fat they fall off/no belt) with the dog, AA tube socks, and he goes YOO check this girl out. I was like, they are cool and likely connected I def gotta go back and give him my card. Second chance happened on Dundas, I yelled across the street as we waved to one another, no YOU come here. He took my picture on film. I said I heard what he said. You should challenge yourself to talk to at least 3 strangers a week, the city is too isolating and timid. Forget his name but was spinning at Roosevelt wanted me to come by. I said I partied a billion times a week so, maybe not but keep in touch.

I see these two and think what would raymi’s mother do? First I asked their ages in case they were 13. Not twins! But the blue one has a twin. Bizarre right? Diane Arbus eat your heart out.

Ahhhh dreamy lil apple.

It’s even hotter out there today right now I am speed typing now to get out there before slipping in to my ridiculous ball gown to impress nana at thanksgiving dinner hahahah. I dressed up for her in the hospital once so she wouldn’t say something negative – the prettier i look the more her manchester powers are defenceless against my glamourous smiling facade and golden hair ahhaa. Anyway she’s like Lauren are you going to a party? I was dressed like a snow fairy, I said no nana this is all for you, as I wheeled her around the hospital near Christmas eve winking and flirting with all the doctors. When I got home I slipped into my rags and melted like a dirtbag in to the couch by the fire ahh while sugar plum fairies danced in my head. Also it is my Papa’s 83rd birthday today. What? What do I get him?

I don’t care what you think or say, this does nothing but delight me this gorgeous weather, it is fantastic and a god send. This is the last time I am going to say this, g’wan be a long ass winter.

See Pluto growing on my forehead? I just made us all bacon and eggs and I feel like a new universe is being created in blemishes all over my face ugh. i only had a teeny bit of bacon. I always feel gross when I eat it. Yeah you crave it and it’s delicious but if you restrict every so often your day is all the better for it. Like, my dad and teacher are napping right now and who is the one up?

Ha ok there Hollywood.

We played in the school park field with Stella. Never go down this street. I could have been burning out in that field all summer long what?

Ew sick look at my runs too much leg, so skinny, funny. I’m thrilled!

Uhh fido dido much. I want to lift weights right now.

Showing a new dance move I invented that looks stupid apparently. Not when three hot girls in witch hats do it simultaneously!

Yes, some good and quality time was spent with Stella.

That sun, she was a blazin’.

I look like a potato. I don’t even know why I am showing you this.

What’s up pops.

GOBBLE GOBBLE YO!
