starving starvlor. courtney said to me the other day that i DO eat a lot. i said if you go out why restrict yourself right? eat at every place you go. only for a while though my food benders are over. i might stay a vegetarian for awhile too. this shit is working. only for health reasons not ethics. i’ll buy more furs and leather goods to make up from my lack of consuming animals or maddox can take care of that for me.

banana blueberry goji berries sunflower greens maybe other stuff i forget it was delicious.

the goji berries were soaked or re-hydrated i think? see how smart i am right now? i do have sober clarity though which is the equivalent of brain injury, lots of energy, highs and lows. total bipolar express CHOO CHOO! i also haven’t had sex in weeks (not feeling it, vow of celibacy, having my iud out cleanse detox you know cut out all the bad at once) so that is making me part lunatic also, and if you do any research on bipolar (teacher did) you’ll find that these people have high sex drives like sex addict level so you can imagine my frenetic state, or don’t now ew. i am super prudish and super sensual. ok back to cleansing right right.

you could also have avocado as your base. i bought one. i’m going to come up with an epic brew.

how nice in a wino glass. i picked mine up and shook it like crazy like i had the DTs. which i experienced yesterday at tea while holding that little dell computer (dudes i NEED a new dell mine is about to explode on me i am serious) i was like woah here come’s the jazz hands. teacher’s dad said he had to go sober while on meds once and day three he noticed his newspaper shaking. awesome visual.

i’ve rolled my own sushi before in maine, without the aid of the roller. it is wickedly harder and more frustrating without one.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5659024507/in/photostream/

great roll. you get into your stuff when you’re cleansing, pay more attention to detail. i would and will get really perfectionist about my rolls. 30 seconds before swallowing them whole like a sword.

let me halve this beast and pretend for three seconds i am not a pig though i feel as though i should be allowed firstsies as i am restricting and about to black out.

movement pills time. i am no longer scared about these. bring it. you learn how to time it and it’s possible to tell your movements to lay the fuck off! you can save them up and then disappear for three seconds and then reappear ten milliseconds later all done cos it whips out of you like roadrunner. this is why we avoid hot sauce. i’m playing fire with it though because i am cuh-raze.

it’s almost easier to take coaching over the phone because i get lost in jeanette’s pretty maybe if she was wearing words it would be easier i am quite visual and becoming more and more ADD like my mom.

had to borrow this for the windiest bikeride home ever. my stomach is going to be a playable usable washboard pretty quick cos it’s what powers my bike as i ride i can’t help but use my core to pedal through gale force winds. my nails look so cute with this mr. rogers cardi so far my fave of all to wear of teacher’s.

speaking of which we had “a talk” last night and everything’s tolerable again. i informed him that i am not his girlfriend, and i don’t want to be in a relationship right now. i got what i want and i am like NO i have lots of shit to do a relationship is too much right now, i can’t expend energy reserves i barely have sparring with another and being the fun activity. he can go dates all he wants as long as i am number one (get to keep the key and throne) so basically he is in a new kind of hell, essentially. he saw that i updated my pof profile so thing’s got testy. i said in the beginning i wasn’t done dating and i was going to continue to do so and if this “relationship” becomes a source of (more) stress for me (which it has) then i have to terminate it like an abortion, i mean, it’s been almost two months. HAY-O! ahem where was i um, so, i haven’t dated, i haven’t seem my friends i am a social pariah and i forgot how to function in the social world my monthish of dropping off the map is overish. i asked him to stop reading my blog as it is restricting my creative output flow and i don’t like that.

++++

joey has the best wrap-up of yesterday’s tea including a shameless shill for yours truly to get a new dell. i’ve held out on buying a new computer cos i feel like i should have one for free, who disagrees? FU in advance. it’s stubborness not poverty.

feels so good too. PC for life.

what a sexy gadget and i actually have to take a break from my dell right now as it’s overheating and going to blow and, dell, i need two new computers actually while we’re at it, one for home and this new duo. does it come in pink? ooh i see red, that’s getting closer.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5665944698/in/photostream

i taught myself how to do html back in 1964 on a dell when i was 17 years old. i have been a loyal dell consumer for years. bitch you done owe me! DELL you are the car my fingers drive around in everyday. i know you do sponsorships for musicians no one cares about so how about a blogger everyone reads?

one of my tips in HOW TO BE FAMOUS ON THE INTERNET is no money no funny. my alexa ranking trumped everyone’s in that room yesterday. i’ll link you when you deliver the goods. i’m your girl for sponsor.

xoxo minx money out.

i was flexing my tit muscles to keep that baby up. i would have had it looser if we were in jamaica or something. when i bent down in the variety store later on it opened 4 times in front of a man trying to read a magazine i didnt’ realise, i had retied it multiple times. bloor street was feeling me and feeling slobbish in comparison and i had to walk slowly cos i was getting blisters from my nana shoes. i shoulda walked all queeny down palmerston too. apparently they cleaned that street up specifically for her which is why it’s gorgeous and has narnia lamp posts. please tell me of another street in toronto that has lamp posts like that.

i hope i didn’t give courtney too much of a bitch complex last night. she is rather catty, i love it, but we told her she was bordering rudeness, close to it. not that it matters to me i admire this quality of telling it like it is super sharp and funny, witty. courtney i love you i am glad we are bonding over living v close and conveniently to one another, if you lived in the east end you would be dead to me.

this cat’s nails are so sharp they’re like snake teeth which might become her new name. i feel too stupid calling her totoro. that’s just not a word that i like even though she looks like totoro (google it yourself). her paw is clung/stuck to my shirt it’s almost not worth picking her up to have scratches all over my shoulders eventually she detracts them but still, seriously? have we not done this before already? i just pick you up and nuzzle you and you LIKE IT fucking RELAX PLEASE.

this blog title i got from my coach. it’s one of many mottos to repeat to yourself while fasting or cleansing, any kind of restricting. everyone worries if they get enough nutrients or vitamins which is just a BULLSHIT excuse not to fast, making excuses before you even try it out you know? i told brionne’s husband last night (he wants to quit smoking/drinking) that to kill a zombie you have to cut off the head, straight off the bat, i am hardcore dude so you must be to in any form of giving up. don’t cut down to ten smokes a day for a week then 9 then 8, then you won’t be quitting for like a year. fuck that, 3 a day, one in the morning, one mid-day at your choosing and one more before bed. then the next week one a day, then nothing. i am severe right now i consider everybody around me a pussy who smokes i really do, such addicts. hate me all you want. addicts. ha. what i mean is, you either want to quit (you don’t, you just wish there weren’t any repercussions from smoking) or you want to pretend like you might. another tip. don’t hold it off, just DO it. don’t go uh oh may 2-4 is coming up i want to be chainsmoking and drinking for that. realistically if you quit smoking tomorrow there is no chance you will last to may 2-4, if anything you will have quit for one to two weeks tops and no problem you’ll be back on the cigarette wagon again come queen victoria’s birthday weekend, easy. i said this to adam and he was like, yeah totally. for instance you wouldn’t kill a snake by nipping a bit of its tail off, you chop off that thing’s head and skin it like a crazy jungle warrior and for the same token you wouldn’t quit smoking by halving your packs down whittling bit by bit like a nancy cos that isn’t quitting it’s only delaying and pussy footing.

another wonder and amazement is that i haven’t been eating meat i asked jeanette if that is aiding in my weight loss too, cos apparently vegan diets are very skinnying. we soon shall see.

couldn’t get my bb cam to focus on my stark white finger unfortch but it likes to lose all blood and circulation when i’m slightly cold. thanks british roots heehee. can i wear that white shawl with my dress tomorrow? if not then what?

that little red circle dot rug is useless and only stresses me out keeping it clean. i have a hankering for ikea. an ikea idea! not until after cleanse though cos old me can only handle that place drunk, i think i might be too amped these days for any sort of retail. my coach was like, you might start seeing people’s auras soon. oh yeah? far out!

i look like shit in the face but it’s ok. trouble sleeping last night. my room was boiling and stuffy and it was my first time aloner in awhile and even though i had my big bed to myself all my clothes made me sleep like a cramped up tardbag. moron. the nice hot bath i had when i got home was soothing. ok mung beaner time.

i’ll be wearing this for high tea tomorrow and i have a flower on my arm to match the print. i’m going president’s wife angelica houston styles visiting tropical climate royalty, except with a fancy hat or some kind of insane feathery headdress of sorts with my hair straight down and blond. this is in front of my aunt’s old coach house october 4 2008 and this belonged to her, i think she said she bought it at g’s from those nice tibetans, maybe possibly incorrect here. anyway it will be the first time i ever wear it in public. the ante has been upped guy. i am just pumped not to have to buy a dress, well that part’s great but the trying on is exhausting and i have no energy for it.

i won’t have to practice raising my pinky while having tea either it’s inbred and second nature, well first nature actually, my ex always made fun of me for it, raisin’ ma pinky while drinking a can of budweiser at a festival, pure class.

had a nice chat with my cleanse coach while folding laundry that cheered me up and i noticed in the mirror that i have a very visible six pack now, the bloat has subsided for the time being. i am going to post a photo and caption it i have a six pack for you, you drink this one differently though. ahyuk.

pinkies up dudes bye!

most interesting and bizarre request of the day TO DATE

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5580213806/in/dateposted/

and naturally my answer will be yes only if i am to benefit from it in some shape or form.

Hi there,

How are you doing? So, I do realize this will sound quite unusual and perhaps even weird but i was just wondering if perhaps you would consider becoming my sister? Just to clarify, this is an actual sincere question so i definitely appreciate you taking the time to read it. Take care and i look forward to hearing back from you soon.

this kid is 24. i will make him a new slave and he can tell people i’m his sister haha.

i just realized i never blogged my mom’s photos from my birthday so i’ll do that soon. or later. where did i put that ring?

cleanse/detox day 6: RAYMISEMO

buh.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5658146428/in/photostream

i look great today in the torso and i was great last night, drank nothing but water at two different bars. had a salad sans goat cheese and pistachios and then inhaled a bag of dehydrated kale chips in vegan cheese at mezzrow’s with stu his sis her husband and others. they had been eating and drinking a lot and were all moaning and griping about how full they were and even though i would appear to be smug i was also in pain, super mega crampy and bloated. i’m pretty low energy today so i think once i finish folding the boy i slept with last night (my laundry) i will sleep some more. today will be about sleeping and shopping. i have a royal high tea function tomorrow that jen is putting together. i need an old lady lady outfit. a 28 year old back in mad men days would dress like a grandma right and already have 3 kids and dress tea ready daily for sure. anyway the point is i have the blues. not a big (HUGE ACTUALLY!) deal i will be fine. it’s just going to be a long day. i’ve decided NO coffee cheating. yes, i have been cheating a little bit. it’s surprising to me that coffee is my crutch over booze.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5657572471/in/photostream

the intense headaches or sluggishness from cutting out caffeine yikes have fun guys. i am definitely a coffee junkie i know this for sure i thought the pots i drank daily of the shit was like, normal and i was immune to caffeine didn’t notice it anymore because it had become like methadone to me, no buzz, just vital. i already feel the headache in the top of my brain it feels like popeye is squeezing it like that can of spinach, throbbing and pulsing, i feel like if i looked in the mirror i’d appear like skeletor or some science fiction ghoul momentarily and just from a coffee withdrawal headache. i am lucky from all the coffee i drink i don’t have yellow teeth. it’s cos i don’t smoke.

fantasizing about new orleans again. i think the more you go the more addicted you become. if you’re not a drunk it’s a great place for you too, you move from substances on to experiences and get high off those instead and eventually are dependent on them for thrills, and there’s tons of freaks in the french quarter. i think i might actually start going out more if i become full time fun bobby forever. notice how some people go straight and become complete lovable lunatics? or echo park hipsters (what’s that naybe in LA that’s like williamsburg called?) all clean and sober covered in tats making art installations and photographing all their friends drinking and givin’er i think this is the direction in which i am going.

i brought this back for my colleague. the souvenir i got for melucas was a pack of american spirits, what i used to smoke in brooklyn and then in maine.

dropped in on boom only had peppermint tea and stared without blinking at food network. they were making cupcakes. oh god. i figured out the first three days of chocolate/sweets cravings are from booze withdrawal. now i don’t crave them as much. jeanette taught me that if you detox for a month then by your next period you won’t have crazy salt chocolate cravings. if you flush it out then when all the blood rushes to your cervix dragging along with it all the toxins you consumed throughout the month at once sending out craving triggers all over the place. picture your period, we know what it looks like, all that gathered around your cervix waiting to come out, pumping out of you and then oh my god i need a bag of chips plain ruffles and a hershey bar RIGHT F–ING NOW GRAAAAAH! but! next period if you don’t be a hippo for a month, there’s no miss vickies to swirl around the drain, or hamburgers, whatever it was, your savoury sweet memories of the month. blood memory, like muscle memory. i already cheated with a chocolate egg anyway so the entire experiment is botched slightly. maybe. come thurs/friday i will be full on fasting though which will make the past 6 days look like a fuckin mandarin buffet of consumption.

these pants are highwaisted gap flares from the first go around of the trend i think. got them for 5 bones at salvation army in burnoutington. they are tall girl length too and drag. once i shimmy down another 5 pounds i’ll look way better in them. speaking of i’ve lost 5 pounds!

the kids inquired at mezzy’s last night what the fuh about this photo and they said it was makeup. i told them to look at the corkboard when they left and i knew they would forget to so i took a picture and bbm’d it to stu. it’s everyone’s favourite picture now.

soosh party. the mighty soosh. (and i can’t handle the mighty boosh cos of my ex’s cuz blaring it at 4 in the morning one time after two days of professional drinking). brown rice, soaked kale i think, carrots seaweed and she let me dip it in this kind of soya which i think is what made me fantastically bloated for the rest of the night even though i was probably going to be bloated anyway. frowny face. i sound so much like a cathy comic it’s retarded.

i could be a lip model. i’ve never had a cold sore in my life. photoshop can take care of the peach fuzz. you can see how i have one bulb in the center pout of my lip that’s uneven. i got a fat lip once i forget how or i might have torn away at something, i am a bit of a lip biter and peeler anyway, at one point in time there was another weird lip glob to match the other one identical to it until something dumb or traumatic happened that i clearly have blocked out of my mind haha.

melodie said she was proud of me. i want her and jeanette to meet this week and get on like golden girls or some bonding type shit, meeting of the nutritionist herbalist tea health expert minds right there then i can disappear to the tickle trunk and talk to myself on tumblr. i slipped jeanette a packet of melodie’s tea today to get the cosmos ball rolling.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5655414802/in/photostream/

wearing this shirt when luc shows up is funny cos it’s his shirt and then he talks about how he saw it on my blog last week. everyone always gets a bit testy when they see their threads on their bud, but also we love it too but still it’s like NO i made that person over there before me they were just, nothing, that shirt. made them. i tell you. luc was here i just don’t have a not blurry photo of him.

this was a bloated tummy day for me but who cares wouldya look at my adorable face. i’m not even wearing under eye make up too i went out nakesy-eyes. i’ll even let you further inspect. i love mel’s sweater vest too. you can see her buzzed head, very chic punk.

and now i look like a dweeb and this would be the rest of courtney’s night from ab fab to why the hell am i in this kitchen so laaate.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5654840865/in/photostream/

um because it is the best that’s why. everyone made fun of me for cooking too like, they’ve never seen me cook before, have no idea that i know how to do it (it’s because the kitchen is always trashed from you guys duh) and so i made something out of nothing for them and they were impressed. it actually tasted like chinese food. can i say that? is chinese food racist yet? no i guess not. yes it tasted like it came from china except from my pan in parkdale but everyone was drunk so i’m sure anything would taste like chinese food then mmm chinese food why did i go here?

i hung out for as long as i could stand not drinking. warm days, first day of spring warm days equates drinking on a patio and drunk by two pm. these guys lapped my sobriety at brunch. i had to run away home to my messy room and collect stuff i wanted for teacher’s place then i walked there on my own and got the dog and took her out for awhile. i am digging outdoor healthy activities. who wants to be my running partner, bike, hike all that too.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5655408632/in/photostream/

turns out i had a pic of what i ate before i ate it. those green grilled tomatilles were very nice i can barely remember they went down so fast and that other thing would be my side of hot peppers sans hot peppers. it’s sprouts (clearly) and they were good but kinda dismal no, why not a bigger one? i want to make a salad restaurant, like salad king except actually salads (seriously what were you grape nuts? where are the grapes, or nuts???)(i’ll never tire of that joke) for all the people like me out there who need 16 flavours going on in one salad at all times.

it’s slanted and sloped and steeped and crooked and then gets all confusing with a hairpin bend to the left (talking to out of towners) then it rips way up roncess. i want to explore roncess more north sometime when i remember to. a good run i’ll scout out new places like that. there. settled.

oh right this is why i was bloated i made expensive shakes with deliciously fresh and ripe cheese boutique fruits. i put some aside for a white wine batch too cos i am a nice little hostess enabler like that. jeanette made me an amazing shake today.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5655401748/in/photostream/

this was blend round two. i don’t normally have fruit, i think it bloats me up but i think everything does that so, what do you know.
