woo whee woo i look just like buddy holly



yesterday the bunch of jschoolers and i went for dinner at pickle barrel. i think there were 10 of us there, sean amanda emilie krista josh lena bryan otie hil lee and me. hil and i were making fun of lee ALL night secretly. i guess it would take too fucking long to explain my condescension towards lee. anyway the girls (plus sean, of course, haha) ordered fucking HUGE margaritas that hil and i initially suspected were virgin margaritas because we felt nothing. then an hour later otie, hil and i were reeling from giddiness. lee ordered one too, purely out of peer pressure (she's been drinking age for eons but never drinks, partially because she is a socially awkward dumbhead who does not have friends.) hil and i were all, omgzorz, lee ordered a drink, let's see how drunk she gets, but by the end of the dinner, lee had taken maybe three sips total. ahahahahahahahaha so funnaaaaay. ok i guess you had to be there.



hil and i were sitting right beside each other and we were texting each other I LOVE YOU and I HATE YOU all night and taking pointless pictures. goodness we are retarded. esty sent me a fuckload of texts during dinner. she apparently got her makeup done professionally for some reason, i have no fucking clue why? she sent me pictures and texted: "what are you doing tonight?" and i texted back "drinking my sorrows away." ahaaaaa

krista and emilie were really nice, i'm glad i got to talk to them at dinner, i hardly ever even see them around. i sat across from emilie and josh. josh ordered french onion soup because apparently he's a french onion soup connoisseur?



i am somehow gotten a quasi-reputation as a chronic stoner. NOT fair, i was actually quite offended when bryan and otie brought it up. this is partially due to ester, she was talking about how funny and strange i get when i am high last time when she was at dinner with the same bunch of people. they all want to see me get high. goodness.

the dinner i ordered was shitty and unfilling for total of $23, but i guess the margarita was cheap, so whatever. otie and i were planning to go to the rivoli on queen west to the rrj magazine fundraiser party, but we were discouraged by the thought of paying $12 cover after spending so much on dinner. ahhh well. i still have hannah's fake id but i have to return it to her because she actually needs it.



what else? oh yes bryan was being very creepy i wanted to smack him in the head. ugh i am never talking to him again. he's like a less annoying version of dave (my friend at queen's), but is still SO CLINGY AHHHHHHHHHH. i excluded myself from the conversations on one end of the table because i didn't want to talk to bryan. god i am so moody. hil and i had a grand time poking each other and making fun of lee though. lee was raving all night about the usual shit she raves about, i.e. the hills, laguna beach, perez hilton, britney spears, what-have-yous. dear lord why in the world is she so dumb?! she is an insult to journalists everywhere. her greatest goal in life is "writing exciting news stories" just like the ones in seventeen magazine - you know, those quasi-articles in stupid girl mags about "HOW I RUINED MY SUMMER BY OVER-DRINKING" or "HOW I LEARNED TO DEAL WITH ANOREXIA". dear fucking lord! they're not even articles, you could churn that shit out in your SLEEP! i dont know how we managed to make fun of her all night without her noticing, i was sitting next to her but she was too engrossed in her laguna beach talk with sean.

otie said i make her feel naturally high, in other words when i'm around her she feels automatically giddy and hyper. which is funny because i'm totally not an energetic person? she says because i'm so chill she becomes the total opposite. interesting?

too bad i didn't take my camera to the dindin, our margaritas were picture worthy.



it was a fun night, after the dinner we hugged all the commuters goodbye. then hil and i went to her room and read nylon mag and played retarded computer games and sing elton john songs and youtube Hole videos and listen to weezer and stalk lee on facebook. do we sound like evil people yet?

in march there is a residence formal, i have not yet bought a dress yet but a bunch of jschoolers are going together. i am actually excited for this stupid thing. can you believe it? otie and josh will be there and so will bryan (ugh) but that's ok i think i will be trashed enough to not mind. emilie and krista invited the bunch of us to pre-drink with them on their floor. okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. totes excited!

wow this blog post is fucking huge and pretty much pointless.

sixteen candles



oh yeah i forgot. i will put up all of the montreal trip pictures later. here are a few random picks

two weekends ago i went to montreal to see my highschool friends, if you didn't know. stories to come. you can read lara's version of the trip here. i can't believe it's already been two weeks. time flies.







automatic flowers


hillary taught me this song and it goes

STOP! DON'T TOUCH ME THERE
THIS IS MY PRIVATE SQUARE
R-A-P-E
GET THOSE HANDS AWAY FROM ME!

it was fun times.

writing an essay due in 2.5 hours. at 889 words. my last two paragraphs have been the shittiest things i've ever written in my life. aha

my body's hating me so much right now. i have a headache and my shoulders feel tight and my right hand is constantly cold and my right wrist very sore. i caught my hand having random muscle spasms today and it was painful. what the fuck? i've stretched every day and i still feel tight like i'm wound up in a metal chain. when i'm done this essay i'm going to bed. i must go swimming tomorrow to loosen up my stiff body.

ps. why the fuck is it so cold in my room? jesus.

hmmmmmmm

seriously though
i'm really pissed
if i never believe in a god, this is why
there is too much suffering in good people
and i hate it
its too unfair
i fucking hate this.

you should know

well well well the bad news never ends does it? i was just going to go to sleep after checking my email, and what do you know? someone emails me that a very close family friend of mine (and my sister's) is now blind due to his degenerative eye disease. he was a secondary school math teacher and now he's confined to bed forever. he had two recent surgeries to ease the pain, but there is no cure.

fuck all

i think her name's debra



postscript: oh yea i forgot it was my dad's birthday three days ago. i just realized that today at about 10pm and i felt severely depressed for about five minutes then proceeded to text my sister and mom that i felt like a retard. my mom said she forgot too hahahaha which may or may not have been a lie, since my sister said she remembered.

the bad thing is, i talked to my dad on msn about two days ago and didn't say anything about his birthday, so he OBVIOUSLY knows i forgot. goshdarn i'm an idiot.

i am seeing my dad this summer because i'm spending a month or so in korea. i am super super stoked and shouldn't announce it until everything's confirmed but whatever. my dad is more stoked than i am. it will be just me and him hanging out! oh my fucking god! some solid father daughter time i haven't had since i was what... nine years old? without my sister too, that's a plus (though i guess it could be a minus too, in some ways). my only problem is that he's going to try to goad me into seeing his side of the family, make me go to church every sunday, and tell me to be nice to his spoiled dog. i kind of despise his spoiled puppy. but i guess i can sacrifice all this, even the church thing, because i will assimilate and learn. (hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.) i will be living at a homestay or rent an apartment next to dad's. his apartment is fucking tiny, even for him and his dog alone. i haven't been in korea since summer before grade 12. SUPERRRRRR EXCITEDDDDDDDDDDD if you couldn't tell. dooood.

on an unrelated note: sam invited me to come to a most serene republic concert this saturday with her and her bf, but honestly, kira is going to be there and so is kate and so is lauryn which doesn't make it all that easy for me to be like "ok i'll come!" LE BARF.

my clementine

sweet adelineeeeeeeeeee
my clementineeeeeeeeeeeeee

this is my friend hillary adeline

we went out, had dinner with some journo kids, ordered huge raspberry margaritas and was giddy for hours. aha, aha. bryan was being really creepy touchy again, le sigh. everyone was super friendly. hilaroo and i spent the entire night making fun of lee. aha aha aha aha aha aha....... we are SUCH PRO SHIT TALKERS. remind me to tell you stories from this dinner later when i'm not fucking tired. ahahahahaha so funnayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

anyway after the dindin hil and i spent hours in her room playing weezer jam session (an online game like guitar hero for weezer songs! omgzorz!) and reading nylon magazine and listening to hole and youtubing parts of 'almost famous'. then we took these because we're fuckin awesome. ya they scare me too
















































WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THESE SUPER POINTLESS PICTURES. MORE STORIES LATER. GOODNIGHT (HOLY CRAP I AM GOING TO BED AND IT'S ONLY 129AM.)

make whole grains and milk part of your day!


i just went through my entire collection of 6,534 photos on flickr and deleted about 400-500 useless pictures. so everything on there is now glance-worthy okay!

i just tried to cleanse my archives too, but it was so much work, i can't possibly censor all the s talk i've been doing the last two years secretly via a blog. ha ha. at least recent posts will be semi decent.

jebus.

i will be continuing these two activities (cleaning up my flickr and my blog) for the next little while. i really need a pseudonym other than fenny. suggestions?

tada.

wondering why he's here at all
