Yesterday, as a friend of mine was driving me home, we started talking about work, family, and the nagging theme of obligation. He is thirty-four, has owned several houses in his lifetime, is married, and just recently had a son. I was trying to imagine this sort of life- a life where I am not only making decisions that directly concern myself, but another being...

[Saccharine dreams of folded eyelash papers and wispy birds in flight. Icicle brainwaves on windblown nights. Curbstomping emotion down to the core; I ask but it's not best to know. Illumination is being covered from forehead to ankle in thin sheets of form-fitting gold. Not everything is easily condensed into stories. A symbol can never be what it represents.]
This, this I cannot trace.

You HAVE to watch "Return Of The Living Dead"! It's a must! And then, you really should watch the original Geroge Romero trilogy (Night Of Living Dead, Dwan of The Dead, Day Of The Dead). And then Lucio Fulchi's "Zombie".
And then there's Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive", which is awesome...and "Serpent & The Rainbow", for a more authentic look at zombies... and, of course, "28 Days Later", for a modern take.
...Okay, I'll shut up now...

Classes don't seem as though they're going to be all that bad this semester. I'm currently in the process of trying to arrange my schedule so that I have class from 9:30am-1:30pm three days a week, leaving the rest of my week free to work. And play board games. And cook. And everything else that I usually do outside of school..

U R SO HIP!
Where we can wake to a new beginning.
Tomorrow I'll all but have lost their faces;
My friends and family,
Memories of all we had
And the times we should have lived,
And tomorrow America just might fall apart.
Tomorrow, tell me,
Where will you wake up?
Beyond title, beyond these careers and laws,
Something more than borders on a map...
And the sun's always...

OK, red leg-warmers and a shiny top, right? 
How's the new job?

Damn -- missed you once again...
I'm still really fucking cold, but I got the convenience store job today. I start in eight and a half hours. I'm kind of excited in a weinerbrained "I-hope-I-don't-hate-this-job" way.
Still haven't any food other than kidney beans, pasta, and granola. Grocery shopping is on the agenda for tomorrow afternoon. Anyone want to get groceries for me, come over to my house, and make us...

I've come to love some french sayings/spellings. I say ''zoot allures!" all the time. It's my favorite french thing.
I like urban photography a lot. Especially when it's a picture of something that's usually packed with people, but empty now. So you can see it for what it is. There's a huuuuuuge building in Detroit that is completely gutted. But if you're coming over the Windsor/Detroit Bridge during sunset, you can see straight through this huge building and look at the sun setting behind it. It's really something.
I've met more people through the internet then I have ever combined anywhere else ever combined ever!

Very very acceptable.
I have a new place to live, scores of idealistic dreams for the future, a fixed bookshelf, sushi rice, a letter I cannot send, hopes to turn my entire bedroom into a fort with lights and a cardboard star and fleece blankets and art on the walls and a thousand pillows, a checkerboard cloth covering the desk my computer rests on, freezing cold fingers, a...

Hey ! Thanks for passing by (my journal or rather photo journal) to say hi
I've only seen Life Aquatic's trailer but it looks like a good movie, I'll probably go to see it since I've been hearing good comments from everyone.

Happy New Year!!!. Wee for confidence, or lack there of...... I lack it in going up to people to start convos..... Otherwise I'm pretty good at telling people what to do if they suck. It's just up to them if they want to it, and if not..Blam...I dump there ass...hee hee hee I'm just kidding. 
Okay, folks. I'm back in Victoria, finally. The last few days of spending time with my family were riddled with stress, financial woes, and other such annoyances. Nothing major, but the constant pressure to be doing something, anything, started to get to me. Reading is considered a sin in my house; I'm expected to be outside at all times.

I am currently obsessed with legwarmers myself after receiving a nice black pair for xmas. I'm thinking I need to learn how to knit some. I'm sure it's fairly easy.
You should apply at captain cooks bakery on fort st. between vancouver and cook. It's full time and it just says you need cash experience

Everything in Comox is going so well. I am happy. My friends are darling, my family is surprisingly comforting, the books I'm reading are fan-fucking-tastic, my baking is staying above par, I'm eating well, and I'm almost finished all of the gifts that I'm making. Honeycomb candles, mix CDs, peanut butter chocolate bars, and peanut brittle, mostly. And cards. So many cards.

no plans no worries.
mix cds are still the best present, I made my little sister some this year as well. though peanut brittle is pretty good.

I'm all packed up and have moved my worldly possessions into the basement of my new place, which will be mine as of January first. My current place isn't yet fully clean, but it will be in five hours, presumably. I should really get on that, seeing as how it's nearing three in the morning.

Spent all day yesterday at the university studying. It was stressful and it felt extremely futile; memorizing charts and lists of seemingly meaningless verb conjugations, case endings, and vocabulary is tedius when condensed into such a small amount of time.
The exam itself wasn't too bad. I definitely passed it, although the translation at the end didn't make any sense to me. I know there...

I was so looking forwad to a drunk message from you. I guess we're even now, in terms of deflated anticipation of last night.
