| My life is nice. All the shows I've put on at dadabase have been well recieved and I'm going to change my focus at school from Communications to Communications/Art History. Neat hey? Speaking of which, I'm moving to Toronto to go to UofT and be far away from the hippies. I leave July 1st.
See you. | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |
| | I want to dye my hairs brown. If I go through with this, the stylist will dye my eyebrows too. It would be really nice to have eyebrows. I've made an appointment for thursday. Tell me friends, is this a horrible idea? Change is nice, yes? | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment  |

| this year i:
-lost jenn wong to china -lived in a terrible basement bachelor suite, a two bedroom apartment with marek, and my current place with darren, anna, and ben -was reunited with katrine -went to my first wedding and was completely flabbergasted by how in love hannah and landon are -went to new york city with meaghan -visited marek in toronto (missed someone more than i ever have) -started school again -decided i'm in love with frances bula
it doesn't seem like very much happened, but i'm sure i'm missing out on some other things i thought were a big deal at the time. i spent nye with some people i really adore, fell on the floor, hugged and kissed a lot. i'm sure 2007 will be fine.
new years resolutions? what of them. i want to be best friends with shayla, how about that. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
| DAD: Well I didn't get the job but they sent me an email telling me I did by accident.Funny eh? I don't think I really wanted it. It is cold and rainy today and my car and furnace both broke down but I got them both fixed FREE OF CHARGE. so I feeling pretty good. Canadian tire has the most tremendous blow up beds for 60$ complete with the electrical blower upper. Why don't you get one of those? they are double beds and so transportable. I want one myself. Anyway that's it for now. Denise is tres unhappy in the dominican repulsive. Travel as you know is best enjoyed on TV. Love Dad (or the internet..or when you are young and adventuresome and with friends)
ME: They sent you an email saying you got the job but you didn't? That seems downright cruel. I hope you're not upset, I'm pretty sure you're far too good for that job. I didn't want to say it at the time, but you should aim your sights higher. Professional Cool Guy? Skilled Adventurer? That's the sort of job title that sounds more up your alley. You're no grounds-keeper Willy. I think Denise should stick to places that they review in the New Yorker, that way she won't be surrounded by poverty and sadness. Sometimes I look up luxury real estate on the Internet for fun. I found a 70 million dollar penthouse in New York that really seemed like a steal. I don't really want a blow-up bed. They have a tendency to get holes in them when you have a cat. I have a question, what do you know about the plant Salvia? Apparently hippies smoke it to get closer to god.
DAD: I saw myself as more of a Bill Murray in Caddyshack' bit it was not to be. Salvia belongs to the netherworld of 'bullshit' drugs like banana peels, jimson weed and these little blue flowers in the ontario woods that make everything turn blue. WOW. Nothing like a massive dose of LSD to make you see god or experience death but it can lead to permanent psychosis and is now unavailable as a pure substance. However they may have come some way in islolating the active ingredient in salvia but...it still a weak sister, an unattractive cheerleader to the real team of gutwrenching, mindblowing psychotropics. None are recommended by the author. Denise is a infrequent emailer and only writes to tell me she will call and then the phone rings. Because I have time on my hands I write frequently and because I have her password and am desparate for news I have taken to reading my own emails in her inbox. I like that heslikeachemical guy. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |

| alright, school is pretty amazing. scoff if you must, i know it's a shitty school. still waking up early, learning, disagreeing and smoking with professers has given me something to look forward to. all of the sudden i feel less empty! who knew all it took was expensive textbooks and bright lights. after class is lovely too, i haven't had many days to myself all summer...what with working and stress and being tired, it felt like i was constantly struggling to stay awake. it's different though! take today: woke up at six am (after waking up briefly at three am to call marek and remind him to go to school) went to class, found a partner for my dumb middle school project went to the libary with jason and laughed too loud stoped by the my store and bought three beautiful nabokov hardcovers! with katrine had coffee, smoked cigarettes, ate sushi and went thrifting (where, by the way, i found the perfect fall sweater, it's brown, tightly hand knitted with a deep V) tonight i will go to karoke and sing a little with more friends.
and that's just one day! things are looking up. hopefully soon, i'll stop calling marek six times a day. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| lately i've been feeling down in the dumps, i know it's going to change with school and all, i'm not worried. Regardless, i'm not feeling good. today, while sulking at the counter at work one of my favorite customers (and couples!) came up to me and sheepishly asked if i was single. at first, i was worried they were going to ask me to have a threesome but as it turns out some chap has a crush on me? apparently he talks about how "cute i am" all the time and wants to ask me on a date? he's been talking about it for at least a month? CRAZY. that's actually, never ever happened to me before. i mean, dudes have told me they thought i was cute...but i've never had a second party tell me someone has a crush on me. it's really made my day, let me tell you. | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment  |

| diary, here are some things. my dear father is coming out on monday for his birthday and a visit. i am thinking about taking him to memphis blues as per leah's suggestion. can anyone think of any other dad places to go?
i am house sitting for marek's mother. her house is beautiful! i will post pictures of it when i find some AA batteries. let me tell you, you'll be impressed. it's pretty much exactaly how i would like to live when i 'grow up' and i'm hoping that staying there for twelve days will inspire me to be more of a human...and get some goals, or something.
hannah and landon left and i didn't really say goodbye. i'm kicking myself now, but i was just too afraid. all of my friends have left at some point and i've always ended up crying. i didn't want to cry in front of them because landon would have laughed the boogers all over my face. it's a bummer. marek and i bring them up and a lot pout.
i am starting to really miss jenn. the thing is, you'll always miss your best friend when they're apart from you. i'm really starting to notice it now though. just small things here and there that make me sigh and hate china. i miss holding her tiny hand in mine and knowing we are more nsync than anyone else. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |
