a beautifully self-absorbed speech

fil didn’t want to deal with the short slutty skirt of casie’s when returning the movie so i changed into these guys. what a difference!

remedy town.

buzzed shopper’s discount rack attack! this stuff gives you a body heat rush for an hour and makes you itch if you’re lacking whatever properties are contained. iron? anyway, funny trick to play on someone. the first time i had one at lucasaid‘s i felt like a fucking volcano and when you scratch your arms you get hotter and hotter i dunno why during a heatwave it seemed like a good idea. we were bored. last nite i swear i could feel my leg hairs growing! the niacin was 2.49 from 12 bucks rush high high cheap thrilllls!

i’ll let you know how useful these aren’t when i try ‘em out. the chocolate was 79 cents (no sugar added, low carb) i am addicted to deals especially deals on things i don’t need (bipolar bipolar bipolar) and when we got home caught the episode of simpsons when marge breaks her leg goes to hospital so lisa is forced to take on home duties, sends homer out food shopping and he comes back with a cellphone filled with candy, caramel syrup and some other useless shit. i said hey is that how i shop!? fil was taking a sip of beer at the time and choke laughed YES. omg i love stupid shit so much i want to be tom hanks in BIG right now!

me.

me.

me and fil.

me and myself.

oh jasmine. here she is teeny tiny last march.

convincing dudes to get in to their shorts and sit by the water is just, ugh, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS SUMMER IS GOING TO BE OVER LIKE NEXT WEEK!

turbo the ewok. actually, looks more like barf.

pure class.

do you guys want to win a 12 pack of black oak beer? trying to think of the logistics here, i don’t want to mail it so you’d have to come and see me. or you could have a tour of the black oak brewery, take some friends and get wasted for the day. plus it’s right across the street from mimico jail – scary! anyway lemme know.

dad if you get a pool i will visit every week.

oh isn’t that nice.

ding dongs.

i love gator.

powerful jet by my feet tickles the soles and it’s a contest with yourself to see how long you can withstand it and you smile like an uncomfortable goon. then your feet go numb.

thanks dad!

the card stock is thicker than my last cards, love it. i left a pile at queen video yesterday fyi. who wants a few?

caribana.

are there beer gardens set up anywhere? i can’t see the fun in standing around unless you’re in the parade. ps. next year i want to be in the parade. talkin’ full on feathers sequins gems bikini everything, how do i do this and who’s with me? can we get a blogger float sponsored?

caribana rubberneckers.

on our way down university two dudes in a car beside us (clearly in town for caribana) were holding up a bottle of grey goose and waving it out the window to their friends in the car behind them. fil looked over and gave them “the nod” (wearing top gun glasses) then they go s’up. s’up man, s’up. i waved. wanted a picture so bad. i’ve never seen fil so cool before in my life hahahaha. 50% due goes to the subaru spoiler i’m certain.

if you know of a better clear mascara (for pool/beach days) do pass it on k. this stuff is ok but, not as great as stuff i used as a teenager (mom do you remember?) that lip gloss is fantastic though.

look at this goddamn purse! click on all the photos of it. swoon.

i have so much presence i get checked out from up on high, didn’t even wave.

a very natural stance.

friday’s dinner.

boiling rotisserie chicken carcass for soup stock.

gross i know sorry.

no fat, virtually no carbs smart guy.

ya oh hi wtf

pretty easy. takes a little longer than a minute and you shouldn’t wring out the towel very much.

that organics grocery store by queen video changed ownership so everything (aside from produce, meat and dairy) is 50% off!

yeah yeah me again.

50% off tastes delicious.

this is so easy to make.

EW did you find that in the forest!?

it’s like a pupae (don’t google that, trust me)(or do it whatever i just did).

take the gross out to the next level by adding light cream cheese. SICK.

can you imagine getting hit in the face with one of these?

despite lookin’ this way they are so clean, practically no slop spills or anything and if you prep a few of them they retain their heat all wrapped up like that.

and then because the time taken prepping each one then eating one or two (eating slower) you get full, lots of leftovers.

ok this was long enough, bye frenemies!

9. Favorite Place to Eat?

bar mercurio (best beef carpaccio hands down) the drake, spadina garden, green room (despite every single let down i always go back for more) and supermarket, though i liked mini market better, they blew it in letting that little gem go.

you can see my scar from stitches in this photo. when i was 7 i got this weird rare disease called Henoch–Schönlein purpura and they took a skin sample to test. i had a huge scarlet/purple rash all down my thigh. oh great now i’m freaked out from reading about it as i get abdominal pain constantly. GREAT SOMETHING NEW TO WORRY ABOUT! Most cases are self-limiting and require no treatment apart from symptom control, but the disease may relapse in a third of the cases and cause irreversible kidney damage in about one in a hundred cases.

what do you guys wants from me!?

WHAT SHOULD I BLOG NEXT?
answers to a facebook questionnaire (my very first!) i am about to take

medley of usual crap from last nite (pics of me, pics of food, pics of crap i saw in the street)
  

Dr. Dewbie

I was going for that britney spears jessica simpson photo (that i can’t find)(because it wasn’t her who posed with a swiffer duh) but someone wanted in on it. the same someone who smashed an entire bottle of Wyborowa. she’s cute so we didn’t mind. plus there was another bottle.

pre-drink club pose!

i started out in this shirt but then i didn’t feel slutty or special enough so i changed. wait’ll you see the skirt i borrowed off casie.

remind us never to eat at the ferret & firkin ever again. overpriced lame food. we never learn. the sliders weren’t bad really, just wickedly underwhelming. fil’s chicken sandwich blew.

ROCK SOLID HEART TOUCHING!

then i followed your parents around for a while.

power walking matching outfits! i had to jog to keep pace with them.

so glad i threw that hat in my purse on the way out the door. cosmic.

NEW FAVOURITE SITE! thanks tempy.

also if you buy two bottles of wine from winerack YOU GET A STUPID FAKE CRYSTAL WINE BOTTLE FLOWER YAY! you’re welcome! it comes in different colours! your life is awesome now thanks to me. you’re welcome again! sorry for yelling! no i’m not! BYE!

Il me parle tout bas

pass these guys everyday for the most part. no strong urges yet. sometimes i will swoon over the display, but that’s most likely due to the big VERA WANG on the window. if it were just a regular bridal store i wouldn’t give a shit i’m sure. fil says the dress in the back the bottom of it looks like crumpled up toilet paper is affixed to the skirt. of course he’d say that. dude wants me to wear a fucking burlap sack i bet. ok this is going to be one of those dreamer wedding blog posts. PSYCHE no it’s not. still no plans as of yet. when it happens it’ll be an elope-type wedding, already on honeymoon, party when we get back. therefore a dress like this isn’t necessary. even though thanks to barbie at some point in my life i am “supposed” to wear a wedding dress – despite not feeling a strong urge or desire really to do so, i still feel obligated to again, thanks barbie. i don’t blame movies or old-timey magazines, barbie is the only culprit here. i wasn’t one of those girls when asked what they wanted to be when they grew up said MARRIED. i feel like my getting married is more so a dream for my nana. marriage bells won’t be ringing until we have money for a house, sorry. want us to get married now? give us a down payment so i can start collecting stupid knick knacks to fill my dream house with. grandchildren? same deal.

shit. the word obligated just reminded me of something i wanted to write about last nite that came to me in bed, the phrase obligated pride comes to mind. ugh whatever.

its come back. this is going to stress out my dad.

i’m pretty certain this is from the way i type combined with how i hold my hands in claw-form when i’m thinking – doing anything that involves the slightest amount of thought or movement.

sick! i’ve had it checked before, it’s called a ganglion cyst. this time around it’s sore though. maybe i need a computer break. see what i do for you ungratefuls.

problem solved.

WHAT IS THAT STAIN ON MY COUCH FIL WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING OVER THERE!?

if you watch this you are an even bigger loser than i am.

arran: You should get another Dear Raymi post going because I have some questions for you. Like, how do I get my neighbors to shut up? They are an innocent family but they’re loud.

i tried to get more details out of you concerning this family but apparently you are too busy to get back to me. anyway, i am probably the last person you want advice from as i have been in a do nothing stalemate with my yelling neighbour for three years now. sometimes i bang on the wall and they shut up, i think that’s the best thing to do. it’s non-committal yet also lets them know you can hear them so maybe they should give it a rest. also, it shames them which is a bonus cos they avoid us now, great! as we are that couple next door to the griswolds in this building. selfish snob assholes, basically.

and yes i’ve heard/read about the tanning bed recent “discovery” (like we all didn’t know about it before) and my first thought was man i want to go tanning as well as fuck there goes my nice tan.

also, vancouver’s heat complaints are funny to me because they are finally experiencing summer toronto temperature we receive each year.

here’s how my painting looks on ian’s wall. yay.

in the wind i crunch i want to die

i had a greek fisherman’s hat like this (in cream and the braid was beige) but some dickhead at a house party of mine stole it. he was wearing it all nite and i kept saying you better not leave here with that hat in between dancing drinking etc. the hat was gone in the morning. thanks for inviting those guys you met at the bar cheryl!

homebase for the weekend. those two 2-4s beneath the table were untouched if you can believe it.

sharpie had the right idea in bringin’ up that wig.

you kids need to get over this mask. what are you, 2? BOO!

poor stefan we “pissed on him all weekend long” one thing of which being water balloon fight attack, he got pelted from all sides. sorry, “ambushed” haaha. it’s ok i got him fil and samir from outside and locked out by the girls they thought i had joined the other side so fil whipped a balloon at my back from close-range, TWICE, it wouldn’t burst. i was pretty peeved after that (it really hurt) and the game pretty much ended. but we kept finding un-burst balloons all over the place which was funny. i was told that’s what i get for bringing up water balloons.

that’s betty. the mask looks great on everyone.

orgasmburgers

still dry.

ketchup-free, still amazing.

thank you for butting your cigs out in this OBVIOUS ashtray, guys.

nothing makes you want to go back in time more than seeing pictures of food you ate. yeah maybe to see a dead relative one more time or whatever BUT NO ONE EVER SAYS THAT but for a burger, yes, i will go back in time for a burger.

um i am kinda detoxing (trying to) this week so my brain isn’t functioning right.

ugh.

dance party!

audrey seriously wore this hat as a teenager (like last week) with no irony whatsoever. brings to mind a ton of stupid floral printed shorts and shirts my mom bought THANKS MOM also THANKS FOR THE PERM TOO!

soaked!

my family has these on vhs too and i have watched each decade at least 200 times, fully memorized. audrey knows ‘em well also.

oh hi there.

that is fil’s signature boozin’ snarl photo face. i smell a meme post. should i dig up 60 similar photos to this? he just dared me to. wuh-oh.

insta-face lift.

sambo.

watch your step!

bahahaha that was funny. time for bed!

aw why so sad?

HELLO! we got heavy and i said every girl should invest in a hot pink bikini top. deep silence then audrey says, yes, that is very true. total blasted moment.

enjoying the moment after the moment has passed. stefan i swear to god you better send me some pictures. dude has like a basement archive of photos on a projector he watches by himself, crying. we sure as shit have never seen any.

things are gettin’ pretty serious.

fil owns this hat in twenty different colours.

BAM

hi i’m here to shoot stills for you guises what you hired me for.

mask mask wah wah oh noes i scared!

i’m sure it was a fantastic dance move. as they all are.

like that one.

the gross/great thing about that mask is all your breath condensation gets trapped in the cheeks and chin. i need to punch a bigger hole in the mouth so i can eat and drink without pulling it up.

grand finale.

samir passed out so we paid him a visit. also paid stefan a visit the following nite and i was wearing the mask in the hopes of startling him but he had cashed out hard.

ok the rest will have to wait i have to um, do research now.
