What is your motto?
my lifestyle is hugely centered around fun and the never-ending pursuit of more. if it’s not fun, then i’m not there. if you find yourself in a situation and you find yourself to be hatin’ on it, look for the good parts. if you’re a dark cloud on the parade this means you need to make a lifestyle change. go away for awhile, new perspective is always good. try new things often. be brave, be bold. love your friends, hate yourself. i stole that last one cos i like how it sounds, though i am a firm believer in self-love. someone’s got to love you right? it might as well be you. positivity spreads so don’t be a downer. smile at strangers. it feels good.
look see!
live like you’re going to die tomorrow. live period.
i love your answer to the last question. speaks volumes to me right now.
You must dislike something more than cruelty toward animals, otherwise you wouldn’t eat them.

I enjoyed reading every little bit of that questionnaire:)
The pursuit of fun at all costs is an ADD thing. Seems to be a generational thing in this family.
you look like a tranny with those bangs.
and why beethoven?
trannies are actually ultra-fem so thank you loser in guelph (late on a sad monday nite on my blog no less pffft ha) and as if you’ve ever seen one in your pathetic fucking life. get with the times you footnote, so close-minded and pointlessly hating, why? that’s why beethoven fuckface.
I also like Weekend Wars! I think they’re having a concert in Toronto.. are you seeing them?
Love the whole ‘smile at strangers’ bit.
When brave enough, I like to give out random compliments to strangers. I told a girl in a store that I thought her outfit looked really cute (I promise I have more depth in real life) and her reaction was somewhat shocked.. I guess girls genuinely complimenting other girls instead of giving a dirty look is a rarity? But she thanked me and said it made her day! Made me feel good, made her feel good and how hard was that? There! world peace!
How about some booty nudies Raymi??? I’m in love with you!
Do you know political satirist Bill Maher? He answered “How would you like to die?” with, “Holding a grenade, surrounded by all my enemies”.
I thought that was pretty cool, at the risk of being maybe a bit fundamentalist-radical-extremist.
