like 96% public, i guess. comment and add me. i like strangers.

IT'S COOL, I'M STILL HERE

like many people, whenever my parents go away for a substantial amount of time, they'll do things like suspend newspaper subscription so it doesn't pile up at the door.
the clear analogy for our generation is that i fear what my google reader is going to look like when i get back from my two week vacation.

this evening i'm taking a seven hour flight (only an hour longer than driving to montreal! how nuts is that, i could either drive one province over or fly across the ocean in a similar amount of time) to england.

A is for ACCENT: canadian, i guess. i say "sorry" like there's an O in it and "about" like it ends with the word "out." there is no one who says aboot. NO ONE. (probably ones i ignore)
B is for BREAST SIZE: 34D/DD. sup.
C is for the CHORE YOU HATE: there are just so many? sweeping/mopping.
D is for my DAD'S NAME: chris.
E is for the ESSENTIAL MAKE-UP ITEM: i guess lip balm, but the makeup-y makeup i wear most often is mascara.
F is for FAVORITE PERFUME: lola by marc jacobs
G is for GOLD OR SILVER: silver
H is for HOMETOWN: toronto
I is for INSOMNIA: not any more, really. just unstoppable early rising.
J is for JOB TITLE: the fanciest cashier
K is for KIDS: that are silent and don't have needs
L is for LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: with my parents until the end of august, then back to my apartment in montreal with two roommates
M is for MOM'S BIRTHPLACE: jaffa, israel
N is for the NUMBER OF APPLES YOU'VE EATEN: this needs more context because god damn have i eaten some apples in my day
O is for OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAYS: i can't remember any, but i know there were some when i was younger
P is for PHOBIA: audience interaction.
Q is for QUEST: just something wonderful
R is for RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: imaginative atheist.
S is for SIBLINGS: one older brother
T is for the TIME YOU WAKE UP: 6-6:30 in the summer, 7-7:30 in the winter.
U is for the UNNATURAL HAIR COLORS YOU'VE WORN: bright red (which faded to bright orange) in various parts of my hair (bangs, tips, it was bad).
V is for the VEGETABLE YOU REFUSE TO EAT: oh ho ho ho. it is easier to say the ones i do eat: lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes (i know), eggplant, onions, artichoke, avocado, spinach and potatoes but not mashed/baked. everything else, probably not.
W is for WORST HABIT: being deeply, irresponsibly lazy
X is for the X-RAYS YOU'VE HAD: many teeth, hand
Y is for the YUMMY FOODS YOU MAKE: i don't really like to cook, with the added bonus of being bad at it. i can make eggs.
Z is for ZANY QUIRK: the one that comes to mind first is that i often get singular hiccups

another internet thing i will probably eventually forget: tumblr!!!

i am very bad at active, communal internet use. mostly i just read a million blogs and judge things. maybe i'll share those judgements.

the space network is reairing doctor who, and my parents are watching it for the first time. they're only like 4 episodes into the second season and ohhhhh god i love dr who

all of this is to say I AM EXCITED FOR WHEN THEY GET TO THIS SEASON BECAUSE I WANT TO REWATCH IT ALREADY LIKE A HUNDRED TIMES

THE FINALE WAS SO GOOD I CAN'T EVEN PROCESS THE FULL EXTENT OF HOW GOOD IT WAS
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO FORGET IT SO I CAN WATCH IT AAGAAAAIN

caps lock


real life: still not able to use enough will power to drink less or go home earlier so that when i wake up at 6 for work i will not hate the universe. for some reason i've been like socializing a lot? with people i work with? i don't even know, who am i.
A NERD, AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE.

some weird euphemisms that the garden centre i work in uses:
1. guests instead of customers
2. related to that, rather than carry-outs they are guest services
3. everlasting plants instead of fake plants
4. failed to survive rather than died

the last one is the funniest. i should use it other contexts, like "oh man, yeah, her grandmother failed to survive."

now that i've shared that thought, i'm going to go watch there will be blood.

something about being on the train compels me to post here.
heading back to toronto after having packed up most of my apartment. moving out of the place i've lived for two years with four roommates which was fantastic and wonderful. something deeply depressing about being in your bedroom and it's empty but for boxes and dismantled ikea furniture.
next year i'm living with two of those four rommates (the other two are graduating and leaving montreal) a bit farther away.

looking forward to things
start work tomorrow at nine AM

more importantly, eleventh doctor? YES.

if i could invent anything, i'd invent something to make you forget. but not for people or events, just one single artifact, so you could re-experience for the first time your favourite book, movie or song.
