here i am preparing for the jungle what is known as brunch. brunch is a sacred event, it’s like non-religious hipster’s answer to church. checking out the party statues from the night prior. casual above board contact exchanging, big time hook-up potential. though it doesn’t happen really cos everyone is a disaster and by everyone i mean me.

last night, total total cow. today, whippet. W T F. also aunt flo fo sho today so i’ll be a skeleton all week leading up to the date auction of the century. i am stoked about the dress i’m wearing. that i haven’t gotten yet but i sent an email and we’re good to go. yes i am making the dumbest face here no i don’t care anymore. i think the secret’s out on me being a real person and all.

i had a loonie in my pocket when i was at metro last week and i saw the gumball machine and i needed to buy one of those miniature hats. well i needed it before i made the loonie connection. wildcats are from what state, city? meh. alright lets do last night now.

saturday night partying is difficult. the majority of people blow their load on friday night. idiots. so they stay home tweeting about the tv they’re all watching sucking their thumbs. it’s ok i do it all the time too. saturday nights i’m usually as smart as a bag of sand and just as cognizant but i knew i had to be good for my bredren advhaus community.

melodie and i played records while lucas went back home to get more stuff. mostly melodie took over while i sulked in that suspended pod and when she spoke to me she was like can you hear everything i’m saying coming directly at you in that chair? i was like yes now where is the opposite equivalent to this chair where i can’t hear anything that you are saying? she laughed at that hahah we had a huge fight before we went out. nothing will break our stupid relationship ever no matter how much we tell each other off i think we are addicted to the drama.

also living with people, from both sides, is a tricky thing, well can be. we’re pretty good at it though. we are totally a unit and maybe sometimes the lines get blurred like yesterday when, both of our cycles aligning, i didn’t have the patience to take a food order over the phone because i had a million things on my mind and i got home and eventually it turned into a fight and i said i am not your fucking wife. there’s being there for each other and then there’s not being there for each other? people get used to the extra hand, the third wheel. i’m still a loner looking out for my own too right. anyway under normal circumstances i would have done the deed but i didn’t feel like it.

people get stressed when they have to plan events, they want it to go smoothly and perfectly and then everyone takes it out on each other and flips out kind of go crazy and then everyone makes up once the dust settles and gets obliterated to blow off steam.

and from the loser ripping on my hair, saying it looks candy floss? yes it does because it’s soft as clouds. the ends need to be trimmed but that’s all, and i won’t trim them because i am obsessed with length. in spring i’ll trim the ends. anyway though you are a fucking loser thank you for your slags my life is amazing, try to make yours too then you won’t feel the need to slag someone else’s dream.

those are my hangover too lazy to fix face makeup glasses. typically the more fucked up i feel the more i compensate by dressing up nicer like i am going on a job interview. so if you see me looking like a million bucks that means i am really, really drunk.

or i am trying to sweet talk my way through airport security with these glasses on after an all nighter writing/blogging spree. people who wear glasses pretty much get to give up on keeping their faces young and pretty looking cos they get to hide behind glasses all the time if they want to not like the rest of us. way to go four eyes. melodie just said i am such a schoolyard bully.

Hi Raymi,

It was a pleasure meeting you this afternoon. As promised, here is the description of the piece you purchased this afternoon: 1940’s painted metal medical side table or type writer table with a drop leaf top. American. Its not the most colorfully written portrayal of the piece, but I’m sure you can embellish it a bit.

I hope to have more new pieces in by Wednesday.

Best regards,

Brian

this is what i look like after crying. this is defeatism. only pussies cry. am i a pussy? no!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5411306928/

i reduced my overall body fat by almost 3%. i was like aww that isn’t very good at all and james goes what are you talking about that’s incredible! my arms are actually trimmer too and today as i write this i am even thinner than these pictures of me where i think i look kinda fat. everyone at The Motion Room makes fun of how i dress. james says some things i wear make me look way bigger. ok you’re a fashion expert too now?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5410695111/in/photostream/

moment of truth.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5410697203/in/photostream/

i was trying to keep it together, i wouldn’t have cried if everyone in the room didn’t get all dotey and put me in the position where i could get away with crying and soak up some pity party like the diva people think i am. i sweat off makeup profusely enough as is on camera i cannot afford to cry on top of that.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5410698571/in/photostream/

i do look more fit though right. this was awkward. poor james had to keep it cool while i wept. see how people get head fucked about fitness and their bodies? GO LIFE!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5411311566/in/photostream/

that shirt is wicked tight tensor-esque so i bet i was way smaller in the chest speaking of, WHAT chest?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5410699685/in/photostream/

i despise my arms so much. they got smaller. i forget how much but i’ll ask.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5410700289/in/photostream/

i look like a potato.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5411313432/in/photostream/

i had to excuse myself to go have an actual diva freak out in the changeroom.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5411314130/in/photostream/

i sat there like a pathetic turd and then james came in to give me a pep talk, said never weigh yourself (at my dad’s i’m ten pounds lighter on that scale) and then i just erupted in micromachine man speed delivery I WORK OUT 3 TIMES A FUCKING WEEK, LATELY 4 TIMES A FUCKING WEEK! AND I GAINED FIVE POUNDS WHAT THE FUCK JESUS CHRIST and so on. then just sat there with my fists in my eyes. total tantrum. how was that moment for you james?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5410702377/in/photostream/

immediately followed by the world’s most awkward ultrasound haha. hey can you do that to my uterus next time to get a head’s up on my cycle?

emoface. i asked my colleague if i looked like shit or like i had been crying in the photos (i am very, extremely, exceptionally, neurotic) and he said no but i looked upset.

today on the elliptical before my weights and twenty pound jacket that looks like a riot vest, i was thinking, all this stress i battle daily, my looks, my writing, striving for perfection so that i can get more money by landing more and bigger deals, to make lots of money, will i be happy then? what the hell am i going to do with a lot of money? someone i know was told to prepare themselves for one day becoming very wildly rich. can you imagine doing that? so as i was motoring around on my torture device i thought yes it is worth it i know that these lies of society are horrible things but in the end i will be milling around some third world country with money to spend and time to be away from the internet and modern day bullshit. that is my goal. to become the exact opposite of everything i am doing right now (i’ll hang on to the physique though) to be a better charitable person with zero stress. i’d like to see the world.

this is how i celebrated may 2-4 weekend. i couldn’t write about it at the time because of political reasons. political the bar i used to work at reasons and vacationing with a regular customer reasons. ha. here i am shooting a bb gun. i am hot like that. americans, you can learn all about may 2-4 here. essentially it is a statutory holiday that gets tacked on to the end of a weekend where canadians get wicked fucking drunk and set shit on fire, shoot fire rockets into the sky (fireworks) and pretty much stay drunk for 72 hours at cottages near lakes anything country or rural or northern. it’s how we kick off summer, yet, in spring, and you are basically a failure if you’re left in the city for it. people who do not go way for may 2-4 will let you know all about their disdain for you if you got away and they didn’t. like people you work with. like people you work with and you took off when you only work once a week and that job’s their livelihood and you are a self-entitled dickhead. in all fairness though i didn’t know there was custie beef until after the fact. whoops.

i got better at this.

the following is partial-satire so don’t lose your cool ok.

Dear Raymi, you stung me a little bit. I just wanted to know why and how come I found out via your blog you were finished with me?

Now if you know who I am and who I hold court with you can get any and all ideas of which posse members I am referring to when I say about a month ago i piledrove a friend of mine like she was a cat in heat and I have never seen a fountain like that before, though I’ve never been to DisneyWorld so. Err, this is a little hard to write because it’s going against the conservative Toronto grain. I just don’t know what happened or when, but, it seems people are mellowing out and getting it on all around you. With each other!

When we go out for a night, I know that without a doubt, I must come out on top if I want to get laid this evening. I must dress better, look better, and be on my game.

Women beat men population-wise so we have more competition. This fact is made apparent when we go out at night. Suitable men we’d consider giving it to are few and far between and what’s more is they don’t fucking approach you. I am going to start referring to myself as butch aggressor because that’s how I feel when I speak to men. I am a completely different person now that I’m not engaged anymore. When I moved back to the city I would pick up a dude, a fucking stud top notch, DAILY. A new breed of woman is on the rise, men.

Not yet named but, for now we’ll call us “girl players”. I, am one of these prizes. A girl player is a mid-twenties urban force to be reckoned with, she is successful, coveted by marketers, parties, pr, events all that stupid fucking garbage. She’s fucked someone you love, someone with influence, money. She doesn’t fall in love because she has no feelings. Her real relationship is her career. She is focused and determined to beat you other women, and men, without question. It was a man’s world until we ate most of you and the other contender big players out there in our peer group, achieving as much as we do, do not exist because they followed the rock dream or make peanuts in whatever plebian creative field they went after. sorry.

I started feeling crazy by the tenth dude, a total ten, I picked up and was trying to juggle/manage along with the famous rock and roller with the enormous wang, the hot teacher, the hot famous indie professional, and so on, it was just, too much. I realized these semi-relationship entanglements were getting in the way of true love, destroying my perception of it. I was trying to pin down man players, multiples of them, at the same time. My ego knows no bounds.

So I lost my game or something and one by one I let them all fizzle out. I became human again. I focused on myself and my work instead, then I became a fucking animal about that.

Sometimes I forget that part of my career is hugely focused on being hot, being a parody of a person, with lots of platinum hair white teeth and sex. There are others like me, we hang out. When we go out, we get to use our notoriety to do whatever we please. It’s ridiculous. We never admit to competing in the business world together but in man world, in the jungles and dancehalls, after a long fucking bastard work week, I am going to fuck everything in sight and blow off steam all over that prey. If I can snag it first.

That’s all I have to say about that, for now.

(this was sex column practice).

you are seriously mistaken if you think it’s not going to be slammed. no one’s shouted out a dress theme yet but you know me, i like to bring it in the attire department and don’t you know melodiva also likes to kick it. ooh maybe she’ll go as jenean, the mean babysitter. super mean.

look it’s me hi i am cute it’s true, we can talk about it. i’m open. sometimes i feel bad for people who get conned into looking deep into my scandinavian wood wife good looks i know it’s coming and then SLAM right in the face what a eye scoop. i know it should be an eye scoop but i’m really trying to drive the stupidity personae today. then steer it right into tomboy jerkoff. they’re pretty tied.

look what i did. i enjoy obsessively tidying up after myself killing time until the next task. a lot of a type personalities are like this. total sickness. don’t worry i do not make a habit of this shit. feeling the need to clean up psychotically to make your partner love you more is desperate and sad. guess how many times i used to do it all the time. cleanliness is a buffer.

i was proud of this. the american runs the dishwasher for like three cups and a bowl. madness. typical american. i had three cups of those instant starbucks jobbies. i like them. very easy. will start doing that now and kill the planet until starbucks is synonamous with wal*mart.

jesus so angry. kind of scary in a psychic’s crystal ball reading of my valentine’s day future if it doesn’t go the way i want i will be standing in my room staring into betty‘s eyes. they are very nice and soft to squeeze like a tension ball i can tell the foam core is similar to some orthopedic pillow stuffing.

dude relax! ok here’s what the cute and clever copy on the tags read:

a monster named betty

when watching sentimental movies with her friends, betty is the only one who doesn’t cry. she’s a “realist”.

she’s made in toronto and is organic hippie nerd approved. alrighty i asked for two so i could give one away. so, who wants a betty? what sad bastard chick like me out there with anger problems and quite possibly other mental ailments needs a litle pick-me-up in the mail care of aunt raymi? ***tell me why in the comments i should send you a betty*** so we can be betty friends wow is this gay or what and you know what i’ll open it up to dudes, you have feelings too right? somewhere in there. say it don’t spray it. you have until saturday.

thought about going to the roundhouse saturday night but it was a $600 ticket for a japanese festival dinner of some sort. hmm, that’s a little out of my price range and i don’t care enough about it to make calls and make it happen. we went out for cheaper sushi elsewhere on queens quay.

dreary out there. i was warm up in a cloud smoking clouds the wifi was out (i unplugged the jack a bit oops) i obsessively cleaned the condo lovingly did the dishes worked on the bed took a lot of photos of myself, enjoyed the vitamin d from the sky and all the window light cos i know i don’t get enough of that, i’m a bit of a hermit and adventurehouse is also know as curtains place, swathed in weatherstripping i literally live in a bubble wrapped room. quite cozy though.

taking photos like this is a trip, back to the old school. is it good? we soon shall see. it has actually re-ignited my fondness of photography and if these are in fact any good then we know i am skilled.

the american almost punched out this piece of trash. we were a classier version of these drunken wastoids blabbering in the front row, those bottles on the table are their after-carnage, they were totally drinking all day long. then the last comic said i was really chatty during his set we wanted to leave for but stayed to be polite (how canadian) and i was like oh no you didn’t, i go, oh, are you calling me out? in a snarky sarcastic voice that makes you want to punch me in the face and it kind of ruined the rest of his set. whatever man the entire fucking night was a gong show everyone was loaded and intense, sloppy and genius. the guy also goes oh, YOU have a bottle of wine. ha yeah that’s right motherfucker we also had a half litre before it. (the american doesn’t know what a litre is).

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5408858498/in/photostream/

so once the drunk girl said to the metro comedian that he likes to take it in the ass (ten times)(gay slag not cool) my rage boiled over and i said ok honey you are so trashy, that is SOOOO trashy and you! to the guy, your hair is too stupid for how mouthy you’re being right now and he goes i haven’t said ONE word (bullshit they were loud talking through the entire show, 4 comedians before that) aggressively towards me and then the american gets up to punch him and then it was a mob scene of people everywhere. wasn’t it great! i liked that i had my grandma’s rich girl kercheif on and smug bottle of wine on the table. i don’t normally go classist but if you hate slur then you best be prepared to get put in check, bitch guy i will guttermouth you in to next week. then i was worked in to various comedian’s acts then it was all downhill from there and i was “talking too much” hero to zero, that’s how i did.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5408248831/in/photostream/

prior to that everyone in the room took turns telling them to shut the fuck up, fuck off, be quiet, super yelly too. everyone knew it was coming it was just a matter of who would claim the prize. your hero did not disappoint guys.

i had the quinoa salad, we shared the chicken curry roti (still the best) as the wookie balls. i decided on everything because i am controlling like that and know how to do everything the right way. it’s not bossy really i just feel that if you’re going to experience a place you’ve never tried before, have the best of what it has to offer. have the best experience always. why settle for less? i am not a settler. this is why i am going to die alone on toronto island in my crazy lady garden with long white gandalf hair pretending i’m the spaced out chick from the robber bride. she hugged her lover with an egg in her pajama pocket from her henhouse and it crushed, she was going to make it for him for breakfast. um, darling much?

i’m such a priss i use baby wipes for my no no place.

tony says he gets goosebumps when he reads my blog.

can you see the raymi?

wearing that kerchief was a dumb idea. made my head all fat. meh.

what is this shit, a sitcom? yeah, pretty much. ok i think i am retiring “pretty much”. say good bye.

mom you so obviously do not cook anymore, this is how you tie an apron?

A for effort.

posh takes over.

trying to get through to my mom is like trying to talk to a brick wall sometimes. she has severe ADD.

firecracker gloria punctures the coug biosphere, a most welcome addition. she cut me off like crazy to talk about all her crazy things it was funny. the most unattractive facial expressions i have on are when i’m chewing and trying to pull faces at her blabbering. backfire. you win this round gloria.

taking orders. my server helper could not read my chicken scratch. maybe if she’s nicer to me next time i’ll write more legibly.

there’s a tv up there so if you’re bored out of your mind next time at my boom party then you can look at it in-between being cougar prey and made fun of.

gloria had her own purse hook. of course she did.

that hot hunchback over there would be your darling hero.

what am i making? who knows.

goin’ zen.

i belong in a parisian patisserie, non? i would also like to highlight how much of a team player i am.

i said to muffy whilst motioning at a customer in a banquette booth, i slept with that guy and then steven (cameraman) busted up laughing, caught it over the mic. we pretended not to recognize one another. he was with a younger girl, also, he is bat shit crazy.

all day all night long every time someone learned she was my mom they were delighted and melted. i used mom as a shield to make colombia be nicer to me. you can’t be mean to a kid in front of the mother bear. my mom would throw down for sure.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5395354581/in/photostream/

this was a very fun day. some days you aren’t sure about, you may take for granted how severely fun they are, then one by one everyone trickles in their feedback. overwhelming consensus is once a month coug crawl. next time there will be an army of us and it will hopefully be warmer.

maybe even gloria.

there’s billions of back and forth chatter on my mom’s facebook regarding all these photos and the night out i wouldn’t even know where to begin selecting what to post here. the guys we met later on said it was hands down the most fun night they’ve had in toronto in the entire year being here for work.
