[Playing video games in my living room and I can't concentrate anymore; driving a car through a wire is too complex and it feels important when I know that it's not. We turn it off and go into my room to listen to music- neither of us talk, we watch the walls undulate and the curtains breathe. My roommate informs us that she's going out...

well, superflea left the first comment so he is the most important Canadian.
My next-door neighbours and I used to sleep outside in the summer when we were oh, around eleven or twelve or so. We would take all of the cushions from the couches downstairs and create a makeshift bed out of them- one that would inevitably split apart before we'd wake up dew-soaked in the morning. After covering the cushions with as many blankets as we...

Ah, those apathetic yet restless, tired and bored yet pensive moods are simultaneously the most creative and least constructive of moods! How I love them!! I often find myself ensnared by daydreams and reflective trains of thought to the great detriment of my mundane daily chores and responsibilities. I cant make up my mind what to eat and it seems like a great deal of effort to get up and go out shopping for groceries yet, when I am in such moods, I learn to see the past in a whole new light or I experience such an upwelling of sublime new ideas and notions (which sadly seem to dissipate into the air when disturbed by the intrusion of my housemate's banal chatter) that I don't want to come back down to Earth.

why is everything in checkboard chic?
it boggles the mind.
i like the bloc party more than i would've thought, which is still probably considerably less than you.
my mission for tonight is to get a bunch of johnny thunders/ny dolls stuff & bloc party onto my ipod. a strange, auspicious mission.
but there it is.
and when you get your superpowers you can play evil dominatrix enforcer to my evil genius behind the scenes, any day.

On my way back from picking up a parcel yesterday, I was listening to Mitch Hedberg and chuckling a little to myself as I walked the sunny streets of downtown. A man stopped me, tapped on my shoulder, and said, "I just wanted to tell you that you have a very nice smile."

It was pretty damn fantastic.
[Stood on the very top of the parkade on Yates with the wind blowing all around us. The clouds look so different from such great heights. Under a nearly apocalyptic sky, I almost burnt a hole through my skirt as it flirted with the slow, soft suicide resting in my right hand.

"Cigarettes and fuzzy peaches are an excellent substitute for actual meals, correct? Healthy and well-balanced?"
this sounds like me trying to justify eating massive amounts of KD and other res-food substitutes.

You know, a motherfucker can just write letters when he's tied up in your basement. I'm just saying.
I'll take your word for it and go see it. You are the only person I know praising it, hence the taking your word part.

I wanted to watch Jon Stewart comment on Schiavo's death but it was a re-run tonight, from last week. That's the definition of depressing, right there. He's my lover- unfortunately, he's completely unaware of this fact. Someone send him a note, will you? You can tell him that I like like him if you wish. Post it on his locker with chewed gum.
So, the...

John Fitch was the head of the Classics department when I studied at UVic many moons ago. I graduated in 97 with an English Degree and did Latin as my second language requirement for the Honours bit.
It's funny how many people from Victoria I randomly see on this site, considering its tiny population.
I've forgotten most of the Latin (except some of the choicer Catullus poems) I learned.
I hope your test goes well!

I've been wanting it to rain all day and it's just starting to now. Good.
Latin test tomorrow and I don't even know where my textbook is. I do know, however, that it hasn't been opened in about a month or so. This will be an abysmal failure and I don't want to care about it.

[It's rowing into waterfront houses and unmarked parcels. Mixing paint with your bare hands. It's kissing on top of ferris wheels and screaming poetry out of hot air balloons. Pressing your ribs up against bridge railings and walking slowly along train tracks. It's sand in your shoes where the ocean greets the sky and thick nights spent in fervour on balcony floors. Swinging your feet to the clouds while you light your cigarette. It's gripping exactly what you want to say, clenching it between your cold fingers, and releasing it gently into the fireside smoke.]
...is all the certainty I need. The sweep of the hill in the park by my house, the trees, every single one, let me know that I am living in some kind of enchanted world of luck.
and with regards to artfullness and heartfullness...
Your writing makes me swoon.
Maybe I am meant to be a pirate? I can't seem to get used to being on dry land again. (Stop swaying damnit!)
Hey! I'm buying me a digital SLR soon too. Can't afford it to save my life, but need it more than that.

I wish I could buy an SLR
but I'm moving to Whistler for the summer and I'm going to be in debt before I even get there, and rent is painful, so I don't think its going to happen....

I slept until nearly noon today, and woke up feeling a lot better about everything- including myself- than I have in the past few days. My dreams were of Comox and buying new computers and all of my family living under the same roof.
This afternoon will be dedicated to consoling a friend through sappy movies and copious amounts of chocolate. And by "consoling", I...

I'll take some spaghetti!!! Hope all has been going well! We haven't chatted in quite a while. I've been mad crazy busy and I'm sure you the same!
I slept until 4:30p on Saturday. But, I guess that is what not going to bed until 9a will do to you. Thank you insomnia!
Have a good week if I don't talk to you and we will catch up soon! Peace!

I'm wondering if my life has just been me hopping from one addiction to the next; the same poison wearing different clothes. Must rid myself of the miasma, must rise above it and stop pretending. I'll be okay once I fully understand that I'm the only person who can destroy me, and likewise, the only person who can raise me from the dead.

You're not a hater?
I think I would struggle with working at a movie rental store and not being blatantly insulting about people's tastes. I mean, I'm pretty open minded, but I think I could only watch so many people rent crap like 'Mona Lisa Smile' and 'Under the Tuscan Sun' before I SNAPPED and went Kung-Fu on their asses.
I take it you work in Fernwood then?

You don't need to be forgiven for listening to Jay-Zed.
I didn't know that. I live far away from Fernwood, but I guess I used to spend a lot of time down there. My roomates and I live up on WASPy Mount Tolmie. We're so ghetto.

Woke up this morning drunk with my hair still in pigtails.
Too dizzy to stand, sitting in the shower, soap in my eyes, hands flat against the bottom of the bathtub.
And to think, all I wanted to come back for was my lighter.
What's the point if you don't remember it when you wake up a few hours later?

I can't tell if I missed you. Actually, you are hopefully asleep by now.
chris_sick:
i'd tell you but honestly, i don't remember.
i'd have done better to come home last night and talk to you on aim.
fuck, a hundred dollars ain't that much at all after you turn it into coke.

I was standing outside after stapling my paper together, trying to teach myself how to blow smoke rings (and failing miserably, I might add). My elbow was up against the wet ledge near the porch, and my feet were trying not to shiver.
It seems that I picked the perfect time to step out for a celebratory cigarette, as the clouds overhead began to clear...

Sorry I bailed tonight.. but I really wasn't in the mood to drink and I wanted to catch the last bus home.. I suppose it would have been better just to have not come, but I would have felt bad because I said I would.

TREATISE ON LOVE & EYEBALLS:
Eye contact happens, and lasts beyond awkwardly long. Well, it would be awkward in other situations, I should think. Distance between you and Person X is not of paramount importance, so long as you can see eachother's eyes in order to make the initial contact and prolong it.
It goes past whatever the accepted length of time for looking at...

Yes, and Gen X isn't his best, but I do have it if you want it. I've also read (and have) Microserfs, Shampoo Planet, and Hey Nostradamus! Also read Girlfriend in a Coma but don't have it. They're all good.
