Blue Memphis 9:27pm November 7th
Another vote from me for you, this time from my home computer. But the gap is wide. I need to go downtown to the ghetto and start handing out .. wait, most Memphis people don’t have internet. Dammit!
I wish I could do more for you. Whatever the results, everyone knows who the real star is and it isn’t Small Dead Animals or whatever that blog is called. One day you’ll be on Letterman talking about some movie you were in and no one will even remember that other stupid blog.
**OK GO VOTE the server had issues apparently (great timing) but it’s fixed now so go give me some more votes hurry! i need to get as many more in as possible so those sasquatchenans can shut their ugly fucking faces up.
oh and if you like talking about me or watching other people talk about me as much as i do, visit here.
Hey Raymi, This horrible drawing is the closest thing i can get to MS paint with my mac… that and i don’t know wtf to use on here. Its the first time I’ve tried to draw anything since Grade 7, as you can see, that is not a bad thing. I figured breaking the rules of your contest was a good way for the submissions to start, that and I really don’t feel like doin’ any lame schoolworkhahaha I wanted to try and draw some dead animals and you kicking them but that is beyond my artistic prowess (as shown by the attempt at drawing feet) and way too much effort to try. Anyways, your blog is awesome, keep it up. Cheers. Kay
P.S. i swear i have friends hahaha
ok so even though i technically lost this contest i will still hand out some prizes, one because this IS the better blog, my readers are cooler, intellectual, funny and kind and another because well, that’s how i do. this blog is fun, that’s the number one rule and the reason you guys keep coming back. there are too many of you to choose from so we’ll have to have a good old-fashioned competition, here it is:
BEST MS PAINT DRAWING OF RAYMI.
best can also mean worst, btw, you don’t have to be all picasso about it. bonus points for the funny, of course.
the prize for this contest is a christmas card because you have zero friends and no one mails you stuff ever. you have until tomorrow to complete this whimsical task. get going. all entries will be posted on my blog. send to raymitheminx@gmail.com
oh if you’re on a mac then use whatever program you use to draw retarded cartoons with, or if you have to draw it by hand and take a picture or scan it, do what you gotta do.
How often do readers recognize you on the street? Are you cool with people treating you like a celebrity or does it ever get on your nerves?
pretty often, though not always will they approach me, later on i’ll get an email from them or a comment, some say they’re starstruck or shy or whatever, it’s to the point now where friends i post pictures of are spotted independently of me when out on the town. it doesn’t get on my nerves but it can make you a bit wary or paranoid sometimes, usually not though, just a feeling in the back of your head like is that person staring at me cos they read my blog or is it just cos i’m wearing a fluorescent orange hat?
You always post pictures of food that you’ve eaten at restaurants. What are your favourite places to eat at in Toronto?
what’s best to me might not necessarily be best to others, tho i like the victory and bar mercurio (for special occasions) the green room (even tho we have had food fuck-ups including raw chicken, beer cap in soup) i will still drunk-eat there i don’t care SO TASTY. allan’s on the danforth is very nice, they have great appetizers blackened potato salad and capon wings, and soo many beers. i love shawarma from ghazale and pita q at bloor/spadina. the drake’s menu is good as well as the beaconsfield oh and we LOVE spadina gardens on dundas (used to be on spadina) why did i answer these im starving right now. all pictures of these foods can be found in my flickr sets. here and here. oh i forgot hosu on queen is amazing too.
What are the best and worst places to shop in Toronto?
even though everyone complains about h&m i dig their stuff, affordable and by the time yer over it it’s fallen out of shape anyway, and they do have some good finds there, staple items. i used to shop at le chateau but they don’t really know how to make the change into the modern it seems and everything is overpriced now, i think they’re catering more to the club scene and cougars, fuck their clothes are tacky. i have a love/hate relationship with shopping and i am into bargains while sometimes i’ll go whole hog and make a massive purchase, usually for shoes or a coat. winners is good though it kind of makes me feel crazy to walk in there and you can see madness in everyone else’s eyes too. magic pony is a great store for eccentric losers like me if it were on bloor i would be destitute.
Have you ever been wary of being photographed or have you always been comfortable with it?
i’m comfortable with it sure, during the fat years i was more controlling over pictures being taken of me, even now i still carry those feelings over, my family is what i call fatface talkers and we talk a lot so there are loads of fatface pictures out there, it sucks. i’ve relaxed a lot about it though, i know what i look like, i’m fine with some uglies here and there it’s not the end of the world if you have a double chin picture tagged on facebook.
Do you wear foundation and if you do what kind do you like the best?
i wear maybelline products because they’re good to my skin and the cheapest brand, i made the mistake of buying a more expensive mascara, big mistake, it’s destroying my eyelashes and under eyelashes, goes to show that more expensive isn’t always a better product. i use the creme mousse maybelline foundation, i used to use their correction (blemish) sticks over my entire face, what a waste of money ungh i don’t even want to think about it haha.
What other makeup do you wear daily?
i use bonne belle gold n glitze shimmer/bronzer on my eyelids and cheeks
If you had $500 to spend on makeup, what would you buy?
more lipsticks and maybe try out more expensive foundations and powders to see what they’re all about, and then stock up on the stuff i normally use.
What do you like and dislike about blogging?
it is reliable and like default oh right that’s what i need to do today, i like that but somedays when i feel like i have nothing else to say i get annoyed by it but then i check comments and remember why i do it. anonymous commenters are annoying.
What makes a good blog?
originality, humour and eye-catchy pictures and interesting content

mulagatani. i love it it’s like ordering a curry meal w/o all the carbs, no rice.
drunk city.
last nite was mental, something in the air i dunno it was an unspoken mutual agreement to just get fucked, and that’s exactly what we did. last nite has also inspired me to retire myself from karaoke, until further notice.
here in point form are some things that i did last nite:
-overflowed a toilet
-almost punched a guy for taking my hat off liam’s head then told him about how much i almost punched him
-almost punched jon for trying to duet killing me softly with me despite inviting myself to duet his song (wicked games) in-where i yelled at him over the mic the entire time to sing better and i met him 20 minutes beforehand, i deleted the video no one needs to see that again.
-told the karaoke guy christie had a wicked crush on him so that i could get ahead in the karaoke rotation and sing another song then stood beside him a bit longer telling all these things christie thinks (doesn’t) about him.

oh and way to insult to injury my losing in the polls, the thing won’t load, whatever OVER IT. i love going out with a non-bang.
they’re like ok take off everything except your bra and panties, uh, i don’t wear a bra. kinda humiliating being naked and pointing out every spot on your body. oh and i gave her my blog url too. wicked.
yay all the retarded cysts and every other thing growing on my skin even that botfly-looking thing on my shoulder is fine now lets get wasted!
Raymi,
I’ve actually had a chance to vote for you three times today (we have multiple computers at work), and I’ve been proud of it each time.
I hope the people who decided to give this award are learning something about the priorities–or lack thereof–of the blog world. My antipathy towards politics in general begins to leak out here, but I believe that any themes that woman could possibly bring up in her political rantings are already contained in your blog, either explicitly or implicitly. And if she thinks she cares about being “up-to-date,” I think your mode of expression gets much closer to embracing what it means to be a person today: life doesn’t make enough sense to warrant capitalization.
You already know that what you do is better, so set a fine example and keep doing it.
ps. i have a tan on my face i went for a super stand-up yesterday and wasn’t wearing makeup (shocking!) and now fil likes me more for some reason even though my face is red except for my eye goggles tan line. what i mean is MY FACE IS ON FUCKING FIRE!
