dying flickr...

I'm pretty bummed about my flickr account dying... or maybe it's already dead. It's on it's last legs. $24.95 is a good price for the service but my credit card is maxed out.

I'll be working all this year just to get into the green. My anxiety took over me for quite some time and in the end contributed to me losing my job and not being able to find one for a while.

I was told I was hired for a job at a newspaper and they never got back to me. (assholes) and the job I got at a factory for way too little of money for way harder work than I've ever done in any factory went bankrupt.

I'm in sales now and I feel like I work for Google. My work is very good to me and there's a lot of room for advancement and a lot of hours I can work this year to make amends.

I make dollar less than I did at the last factory I worked in but the work isn't physically draining. I barely notice how many hours have gone by and I have to squeeze my lunch in before I go home.

I have a sinus infection. I keep thinking I kicked it and it keeps coming back. I'll be able to get some money out of the bank finally... I've been working 2 months part time hours and I might be able to take $10 out to get something to squirt up my nose. Basically I really don't want to go to the docs but that's part of my anxiety I think I'll be able to face later.

It's funny I don't think I'm riddled with anxiety until I look back with retrospect.

I miss the summer more and more every year. I guess that means I'm starting to like it.

My flickr account is going to die in three days.

Soon I'm going to start tanning... I don't want a tan per se and I def. don't want to end up a leatherface... I just have exceema and that's one of the things that are supposed to help it. I hope it's not too expensive and that there's one near by.

One of my best friends Xmas parties is tomorrow... We're doing secret santa and wine and cheese and games. Last year was a riot so this should be good. I miss my friends.

I don't have an idea yet for a $10 gift. If you have any lemme know.

Keep well interwebs, you'll probably hear form me again later tonight.

Some Time

I've taken some time away. For good measure. I am in a better place to write more. It's something I've put off until I've seen fit. With my first bout I could have said goodbye for my hiatus but I didn't know it was going to be such a thing.

Things are interesting. I'll save the details for another time as this is just a hello again.

Keep cool.

Here's a recap make your own assertions:

Hiatus.

I've been running around like a koala with her head cut off. I'll be back. I've just been busy, partying, relaxing, looking for jobs, photography and concerts.


Moop.

When I get money...

I'm getting some of these! laptop lunches. SO CUTE.

Oh man I love these.

It would actually be good portion control and awesomeness for my getting chubbier self. I really do want to eat healthy. Isn't it lame that my cute bento box would help me do that? WTF. Don't worry. I'm aware that's a little ridiculous.

down by the boardwalk...

the mood

My friend Christine called me up. He hadn't seen each other for about a year but grew up as close childhood friends. She's excited that I want to write a book. Apparently she's always liked my writing. That's cool. Speaking of which I have an idea of someone who I want to do the art for my book... my childhood friend Ian. But I haven't asked him yet. His art is amazing CLICK HERE. I have fond memories of trying to draw Yoshi's with him in 1992. Trying to find places in Toronto to self publish a book probably isn't too hard but it'll take me a while. I mean I can always think about it but I should probably finish writing it and such first.

Christine and I...

box o memories

Went through some old memories. And talked about anxiety plagues.

jumping and flippimg

My favourite thing when I was a kid ^^. I used to wait until winter and the snow banks were high on one side of this and run up to it slam into this with my stomach and land on the other side. It didn't hurt it was so much fun... maybe that explains why my head is broken.

mork

We went to our old public school around 1am.

sobriety test

creeper

as if her eye is reflective like a effin raccoon... creepy.

There's all sorts of random fences now.

So many random fences... new parking lots. So many memories I can't believe it. They actually tore down where I was in grades 7 and 8. That made me a little sad. We used to jump out the window to go to recess.

so many of my fondest memories are here

kitty on my foot and

my afternoon

^^^ How I spent my day until Christine called.

Today I'm studying up because I got a wicked awesome job opportunity coming up. My cover letter totally rocked so I want to make it sound I half know what I'm talking about. I would write a lot a lot more if it wasn't for this migraine I have. So that has to be it. And I'm sorry about the layout of pics but I wanna see which way I like it more... and if the pics are semi centered etc. So a wonky looking post it is.

You won't see fish heads sipping cappuccinos in Italian restaurants with Oriental women...

Nope.



I was reminded of this today. Ahhh. I love weird shit.

I've decided.


I'm going to publish a book. I'm going to call it "Meatball Pillow". Shame I lost a lot of my writing when my comp died recently I've learned my lessons.

Feel free to give me some cover ideas. I'm into surreal stuff. I'm a vegetarian dreamer with sleep hag. This is going to be interesting.

Feel free to leave comments on ideas if you're an artist and want to have some exposure.

Think meatballs and brains.

I wish this was me.

I don't think violence is ok. But something happens to me and I snap when I am driving. I honestly wish I was a cop sometimes so I could learn whot do P.I.T maneuvers. When I play gta4 I try and try to P.I.T. the cars...

I give you... AWESOME:

OMG - let's fucking cheer for... beer cups!




What the hell just happened?

Sleep Hag

Last night's sleep was super shitty. It was a million degrees in Toronto and even tho we have AC we don't use it. That's my mother's logic. It'd be nice to just turn it on a little. Anyway, I kept getting sleep paralysis where my stand up fan kept turning into my high school English Teacher Mr. Johnson who I haven't even seen in years or thought about for that matter. He's not a scary guy by anymeans but it was unnerving. He was actually young and cool and he taught us a lot of things using Simpsons references.

We need a hammock. That would be bliss.

Anyway. My whole immediate family is in a rut. We need to get some cash flow happenin. I think I understand why I'm not great with money now.

I've gotten some pretty decent job offers. I just need to get some courage for the interviews.

I messed around with this picture my friend Johnny took in Newfie Land.

New Found Land

I wanna go on a road trip. I think I might be losing the weight I put on. I think it's because I'm too poor to gorge myself.

I'm feeling kinda artistic I dig that. Are for the most part is free for me to work on (I have oodles and oodles of paint and some canvas) so maybe I'll have something to show for it later on today.

Keep cool mah babies.

For the record...

This is the coolest ever:

Ruddabaga

This guys teeth wiggled when I poked them.

IMG_3410

I thought it was cool. I met someone from Northern Manitoba and that's where she got this thing. She said his teeth wiggled because he was in a jar for a month. I didn't understand that and I gapped out for the explanation as I tried to fathom a huge-ass jar and what was in it before if it were not made for a huge caribou head.

The weather was totally wonky yesterday.

Some places are creepy... and I really want to go into them. I'm terrified of going places I don't know tho. Isn't that hilarious.

IMG_3346

Had awesome delicious chinese food. Good bang for your buck too. I had Fresh Cod on some rice noodle. Totally awesome. What's not awesome is having your car overheat, have the Gardiner closed and my friends almost having to pee in a bottle because they decided to do a RIDE on Spadina.

Now time for my cartoon boyfriend Harvey and some coffee. Ahh.

*Sigh of Satisfaction*

I did a million things yesterday. Met up with David, Allen, Bev, and Shaun.

Met some people I've only known from the online forums at matthewgood.org which was neato.

I had almost the same seats as I did last time on my birthday. I have a flickr set HERE.

Big obnoxious photo:

Me legs are killing me from running around Toronto all day.

Oh and I think I got a legit job offer at an advertising agency. I'll be calling them today. Maybe have an interview on Monday!!! Fingers crossed.
