saturday night
1. some people are really annoying when they're drunk.
2. pogey is way better when you can actually see them
3. it's not a good idea to wear jeans when it's 30 degrees out
4. don't get in on the pitcher when you're not going to be able to drink as much beer as buying the next pitcher is going to cost you.
most of these things are things that i should have learned before tonight. but obviously i did not learn them.

ode to kleenex
white and cloth-like
square sheets
in your pink tulip box
look so soft
and gentle
waiting there for me
in my time of need
only to rip my nose off
blah.
i need more orange juice....

12-string?
investigation results
Can you read my mind?
Do you know what is is that you do to me?
I don't know who you are
Just a friend from another star
Here I am like a kid out of school
Holding hands with a god
I'm a fool
Will you look at me
Quivering
Like a little girl
Shivering
You can see right through me
Can you read my mind?
Can you picture the things I'm thinking of?
Wondering why you are
All the wonderful things you are
You can fly!
You belong in the sky!
You and I
Could belong to each other
If you need a friend
I'm the one to fly to
If you need to be loved
Here I am
Read my mind
So that's the speech. See it where I saw it here.

glad today is ending.
I'm just ready for a change from the way things are right now. I don't want to live the rest of my life just letting stuff happen to me. Or waiting for things to happen. I'm in a rut and it needs to change. But at the same time as I sit here and complain about needing to get out, I can't really imagine my life without the things I experienced as I was stuck here. So I guess it's not that bad. But I have a longing for the things I haven't done. I'm torn. Completely. About everything. Well, not one thing. But that's out of my hands.
Anyway, it was Melanie, Michelle, Jenna, Sean, Jennie and I so it was good times with more people than normal, which is just me and Melanie. I've only met Jennie once before. She's cool. She should come around more often. I know her connection to the group was through Sean and he doesn't hang out so much anymore, so I understand why we don't see Jennie. Michelle and Jenna left pretty early. Like, 11:00 early. Sean and Jennie stuck it out a bit longer. But then it ended up the way it always is. Just me and Melanie. Oh well. She got drunk and I agreed to drive her car home. Which was cool. I didn't want to spend the money anyway. Another perk to being sober was being able to fully appreciate the ass crack that was on full display. Lucky me... I need to watch Superman. Not the new one. The classic. I need to do a bit of investigative work. Is the Lois monologue really corny and long and written in rhyme? We shall see.
I got an e-mail from Judith today asking me if I was interested in part-time work in the fall. Weekends or otherwise. What does that even mean, otherwise? I have no idea. The only part-time positions they've always had were just weekends. I said that she'd need to give me a bit more info before I committed to anything. I'm not overly opposed to working there. And part-time won't be bad. I guess we'll see what it is she wants me to do and when she wants me to do it. I'm working there on a Sunday in August. I don't mind. It's just at the desk. But I don't know anyone who works weekends anymore! Eveyrone is gone! It'll be so weird to be there and not know the staff. Oh well. It'll be fine. We'll see what she comes back with.

zero gravity kitchen parties?
"More recently rolls of the hard-wearing grey tape were used on board the space station to form the top of a kitchen table that American astronaut Bill Shepherd built with spare aluminium struts in 2001. "Once we got it put together and finished, it was kind of the social centre of the station," Mr Shepherd said."
A kitchen table made of duct tape which then becomes the social centre. Are you SURE that guy isn't Canadian? Maybe Atlantic Canadian? Because they're having kitchen parties in space. That's awesome! Hahaha!

up too late
Jets Overhead, eh? That was a quick little clip, but I liked the sound. Maybe I'll look them up. A big festival needs to come to Halifax. And the Rolling Stones don't count. I think that after the craziness of last summer's Moncton party, no one is going to care this year. Its only 1 year later! And at the end of it last year, people couldn't give away Stones tickets. So obviously everyone who wanted to see them, saw them. So no one is going to travel here for them this year. The only people who are going to see them this year in Halifax, are people from Halifax. Anyone else would be better. The Barenaked Ladies are going to Charlottetown. I like the Barenaked Ladies! They're pretty fun. I'd like it if they came here. Damn them and their hatred of Halifax. Or...maybe damn Halifax for pissing off the Barenaked Ladies. Either way, I can't go to Charlottetown to see them. No more road trips this summer. I can't afford it. I was just in Charlottetown. Enough fun for one summer.
Hmm...The Streets. I like British music. Maybe this was a productive MuchNews viewing.
So I'm trying to learn how to play Acoustic #3 by the Goo Goo Dolls on my guitar. It's kind of an old song that never got air play, but it's been stuck in my head lately. I don't know why. So I looked up the tabs. I really like it. There are 3 'rhythm figures' you just kinda play over and over. The first and third figures I have handled. Number 2 is causing me some trouble. And I can't sing along with it. Once I have all 3 figures down, I'll play it with the song and hopefully become a pro. That's the plan.
I'm not so into the screaming music. It stresses me out. Little too much for me. But if that's your thing, do it up.
Ok, so this is cool. There is a new award called the Polaris Prize. It's a prize for the best full length Canadian album. It's awarded based completely on artistic merit with no regard for air play or record sales. That is fantastic. Also cool is Going Coastal is covering Buck 65 getting the key to Mount Uniack. That's awesome. That's another former always-in-Halifax guy who isn't back all that often. Next time he's here, I'm going to see him. He's great.
And now it's midnight. Why am I still awake? I'm awake because I'm too lazy to get up and get ready for bed. Ok. I'm going. Right now.
Also, do you think it's possible to fall out of love as suddenly as hitting the floor if you fell out of bed? And, if you've never been in love before, how do you know when it's love you're falling out of?
after midnight
I think I'm going to go to the gym tomorrow. I need to get active again. I've really done not much of anything for a while now. It will be great. Maybe some running.
I'm hungry.

am i happy you're leaving? yes.
I want to go to the beach. I wish I knew some more surfers. It's too hard to get people to go because they don't want to spend the money and they've never done it. I really want to go. This weekend. I'm going to do it.
So he told me today that he's leaving on July 31. He said he didn't know if I thought that was a good thing or not. Honestly, if he wasn't so...intense, I'd be a whole lot more torn up about it. When I first met him, I thought he was great. But then he slowly started getting more flirty with me. Which is fine. But his girlfriend didn't like it very much. And one night when we were all out, he said that he wanted to appologize in advance for anything he might try once his girlfriend had moved back home. Yeah, ok, that's just drunken rambling. But then, once she left, it all came out. He started telling me I was hot and that guys were insane for not jumping at the chance to be with me and trying to be all "gentlemanly" by offering me his coat if I was cold and whatever. Which was nice I guess. And then there was a party. Everyone was wrecked, obviously, and at the end of the night I found myself leaning on him. Whatever. But then he told me he wanted to kiss me and that his girlfriend had been jealous of me from the first time she met me and that he really liked me. I was lying on the couch and he tried to kiss me and I was like, No! You have a girlfriend! And not only do you have a girlfriend, I KNOW your girlfriend! I know her! And I like her! And I was like, You're moving to be with her. And you know what he said to me? You're right. I'm not going to leave her for you. But I'm so attracted to you. Wow. Thanks. That's a great way to get into a girl's pants...I'm not going to leave my girlfriend for you. So anyway I just kept telling him that I didn't want to do it because of his girlfriend. And he told me to stop saying her name. It was disgusting. I've never felt so used in my whole life. He was like, I think we need to just do this and get it out of our system because I think we both want it. Gross. No, we don't both want it. Then he started hitting on me and sending me e-mails telling me that the highlight in his day is e-mails from me and that he'd love it if I saved him from drowning, especially if it involved mouth to mouth. First of all, I don't find drowning jokes funny at all. And second, I bet your girlfriend would love it if she knew what you were doing. And one time we were all out for lunch and he started talking about some ex girlfriend of his who cheated on him with 2 of his friends. He went on and on and on about how much it hurts to be cheated on and how he's not friends with the guys anymore and if he ever found out that his current girlfriend was cheating on him, he'd probably hit her. I wanted to jump across the table and strangle him. He was totally willing to cheat on her with me! He's such a bastard. I'm glad he's leaving. I've hooked up with guys before and kinda been that one night stand but I have never ever felt so used as he made me feel. And every day he makes me feel more disgusting. I hate it when he looks and me and the creepy way he talks to me. I can't wait until he leaves. And at his going away party, if he tries anything, I'm going to hurt him.

wedding plans are exciting
Yea!! I can't wait!! I'm going to meet Anna tonight to help her with wedding
stuff! How exciting! She has asked me to design the wedding program and the
bookmarks they're giving as favours. I feel honoured! I'm so excited. I hope
she likes what I come up with. I'd really like to get creative and maybe do
some hand drawn stuff...something that doesn't look computer drawn. I wonder
what she has in mind. I'd like to see what her invitations look like too. Oh
yea for weddings...I hope I get to go too. I'm not really holding my breath for
an invitation though. I know she's trying to keep it small. I just really want
to see her dress. I went dress shopping with her but she didn't end up getting
any of the ones we looked at. So I have no idea! As long as I get to see
pictures. Thats all that matters.

sweet satisfaction
So that was the best 2 hours and 40 minutes of my life. What an awesome movie. Brandon Routh did a fantastic job as superman. And his Clark Kent was too cute! I think that that's why I like kind of nerdy geeky guys. Because Clark Kent. And then the whole Superman alter-ego? So hot. And Kevin Spacey was an awesome Lex Luthor. Awesome. I am the happiest girl in the world right now. Hahaha I just want to see it again right now.
