circle jerk exploits

packed, ready to go.

people who say APPS trigger a wild knee-jerk hate-on reaction within me. significantly so. i feel like i am being spoken to by a desperate to please woman-baby. i was around for the 80s and you’re older than me, so i know there was a time when that term was so not in your vocabulary you fucking liar and if you ever say that shit around me again i am leaving your snoozer get-together. (after i eat everything of course) ps. just try and pull “appys” and see what happens.

don’t care how slumming ghetto it appears, shit’s good st. louis.

could put my dance lessons to use here. ha.

much like that radiohead collab with unkle rabbit in your headlights video that i will now listen to fifty times. “she cries when she’s laughing.”

happened upon this amazing little scene, hidden gem i’d imagine. felt like going back in time a bit. i’ve been feeling that way a lot lately actually. being the new girl, where nobody knows my name. it’s kinda great. i always fantasized in school to move around a lot, new friends, new places. to be a new person.

sometimes i feel like poison. like my world is poison and what i mean by that is, i like to keep things separate. would like to. but i also feel an innate sense of obligation to be out with everything. then i remember the poison, the pressure rather, how it affects everyone around me and i want to protect them from it. i’d like to be more forthright is what i’m getting at. maybe.

that tee from walmart (yes i know)(ugh) was 7 bones. the cardi also from w-mart. yes the place is disgustingly evil but, when in rome…nah it was late and zellers was closed. we needed scrabble and 140 dollars later we were done.

i summarize yesterday’s camp scene to that of fubar meets trailer park boys.

no i’m not above it. i’m in it.

every shade of pink i have. commencing nail regrowth. grow and paint and rip. grow and tear and throw it in an ashtray, hide it in the carpet.

there’s been a lot of woods squatting lately.

catching yourself on some twigs on the way down is a little bit of a shock.

how many times do you live?

these guys barely made it through the day. the box kinda gets me jazzed for christmas already. that’s just the stupid talking though. not at all considering any and all potential stress revolving around the holidays.

hi leslie.

yes those seriously were my letters.

i would be lying if i said these dogs weren’t full-on enchanted by me.

and they respond to me as mummy.

it was close but i won. dave got stuck with a Q. i’d like to give a shout-out to dictionary.com for allowing words such as po and i swear there was an “ay” in there too but i can’t see it now.

watching a dog dismantle a stuffed creature of yours is satisfying. freeing.

and allan as always, rules. he came to my first art show and gave me a nice bottle of red wine, shyly spake some encouraging words and then he was gone. that’s class.

Daily newspapers and television and radio seem to go out of their way to pretend that the internet doesn’t exist.

Can’t really blame them for feeling threatened, but I do blame them for being such cowards as to ignore the reality of how large a role the web plays in everyone’s life in 2009.

So I’m very impressed that the Globe did this story, for whatever reason, and regardless of how long it took them to acknowledge even just one of the real heroes of new media.

Anyone who has ever read Catcher In The Rye can see that Lauren White is one of the most gifted writers on the world wide web.

It’s not just her humour and bad attitude that dazzles and blows away the cobwebs of mundane conformity.

She plays with the language and invents new words with the ease of the best poets who ever lived.

She takes the pathetic existence of living in Toronto and going nowhere and being a nobody, and asserts that she has far greater worth, whether anybody agrees or not, whether anyone likes it or not.

I’ve always admired her courage, and think she’s brilliant.

as does sean ward

I was catching up on your blog over the weekend and I wanted to tell you that as a member of your audience, I am very excited about this crossroads that you’re at. i wish I had the balls to be as honest and open about my life as you are.

For my money, you’re in league with Chaplin, The Beatles, Walt Disney, etc. People who set the standard and create the artform as they go along, leaving the rest of the world to play catch up and try to define it later.

Keep shining, you bright star.

remember this gem wow summer feels so far away. that’s an entire life away. the best quote in this video is when i say, “it’s like here’s my head and my face and then it’s like my face is trying to leave my head.” that’s before i even started smoking the sweet cheecha my friends. don’t be jealous if your face doesn’t look mounted on your head like mine does.

Sean & Raymi discuss the issues from Sean Ward on Vimeo.

just wanted to let you know that i emailed hal, and he said the quote was taken out of context/misquoted. i’m familiar with his writing, so it seeme really weird for him to just say something as cutting as that.

anyway, thought I’d let you know,

lucas

for the record i am OK with the g&m article. the picture could have been painted differently, but so what. it’s press. many things i said (and we all know how much of a big mouth i am) were left out. but apparently i am a hypocrite for not releasing a statement regarding my painful private breakup because i talk about bowel movements and how much everyone sucks secretly on the internet all the time. me and shulgan are cool, in fact he just called and is being rather helpful with book agent name-droppings so… though i’m not going to ignore my suspicion of his desire to create this grand internet drama clusterfuck betwixt us all. i do admire his shit-stirring candor, it’s amusing. he also considers me the most prolific blogger ever, so there’s that.

  1. From my viewpoint there is no limit to where you can go with your awesomeness. You inspire people and serve as an everyday reminder, to those of us who are really listening, that there is so much more to life out there than the regular ol’ mumbo jumbo. Keep it up :)

    PS: You dislike the term ‘apps’ (even worse ‘appys’) like I hate it when people say ‘vacay’. Hope yer day is a great one!

  2. no guff eh, it’s like they wanna be so cowabunga but they just come off as lamestains when we’re just tryin to swing on the flippity flop.

    also plummeting downwards in my esteem are people who say sup instead of supper or worst of all, din-din.

  3. Remember when Deborah and I came to visit and we went to that Cajun themed restaurant near your old place? The waiter asked us if he could get us any appys and bevys (How do you even spell that? Appies, bevies?) I was like, what the fuck is he even talking about? Is that some kind of local Canadian thing? I had to ask you to translate. Deborah and I still make fun of that guy every time we go to a restaurant.

  4. rabbit in your headlights is such a good song…i was actually listening to it yesterday. it’s on my “im depressed” mix of my ipod…appropriate, i think.

  5. “Apps” is up there with “Margs” for margaritas.

    Also, when I squat in the woods, I always have my back to the tree, or whatever, for support.

  6. “Apps” is just food-service talk. When you’re talking to staff about them, you don’t to say the full word fifty times in a conversation.

    (I’ve never heard anyone say “margs” for Margaritas, however.)

  7. Oh god. I saw “UR GINGER” and then I scanned the whole board to see if you’d played “URGING” as your word… and then I realized I was a loser, stepped away from my computer and promised I’d never get so excited about something like that ever again.

  8. Aloha

    But if you were disappointed by any snobby backhanded comments
    Always remember
    Those who have fearless creativity “DO”

    Hope all is well
    I’m flying over a valcano and the rain forest tomorrow in full gear in a open door helicoptor.

  9. Um, “desperate to please woman-baby” is possibly my favourite new descriptive term. I think I ran into an entire table of them last friday night.

  10. Oh, I have a friend that says ‘compy’ instead of computer. It makes me want to either barf, or slap her. Or both. Oh and I’ve been avoiding Wal-Mart too! It IS an awful place….
