I'm so excited

about camping this weekend. hobo beans, scrabble... cheezemo magazines. should be nice.

I also have really started to enjoy playing in the band. If I haven't already discussed this before... I used to dread going to practice sometimes....used to get nervous about playing in front of people...but now it's just so much fun. It's a release from a stressful work week. It's a good time with my friends.

It's interesting how MJ's death causes everyone to start singing.

"you know, this one... rock with you...allllnight..."

kinda nice.

devil tomaney

so, Chris and I were just walking home from trivia. I needed to pee really bad, and we were struggling for conversation material that would distract me from those bladder cramps.

what a friggin' way to start a story.

but it just gets worse.

I say, "That's you're type of girl, isn't it? Like hipster chic?". I motioned toward a healthy-slim dark-haired girl, with a high waisted summer skirt and a grey tee. She had dark rimmed glasses, bangs, a book, and a white belt. sure. that looks like an ideal.

"What are you talking about, [blah blah blah (I stopped listening, PEE!), no, you're my type (et cetera)".

yes I'm a dick fiance. but let us not forget, I had to pee.

Just in front of our house, the dark haired hipster stops. She stares at a parked car, leading me to think she's an eccentric/artistic/introverted weirdo.

but, she wasn't starring at a car, she was looking upon a writhing pigeon in horror.

Chris and I clue in and mutter some words... a little stunned.

She says, "What should we do?"

The pigeon knew it was dying. I knew the pigeon was dying. It was really like it's eyes were saying, "Save. Me. From. Pain."

Without thinking (but not unthoughtful), I said, "The only humane thing to do is to kill it....but I don't want to do that".

and then she turns the horror face to me. Like I'm pure evil. but really I'm pure sense.

she calls the city for help.

and we walk away. up our stairs. me...to the washroom.

Oh beautiful beautiful summer!

Last night after work I met a few of my lady friends at Pancho Villa on Elgin St. It was really nice catching up with them...and catching some sunshine at the same time. I think the vitamin D did some good, as well as the margarita.

So, I'm still really busy, and still constantly on some endless journey of self improvement. It's exhausting. I'm mostly enjoying life, which is great. but I can also be a cranky beotch sometimes. I've still got that main goal of being content on my death bed (not the bed that eats people, but the bed I'll be in when I die)...when I'm...what? 92? Sounds like a good year.

Speaking of death, I've been watching too many horror shows and movies. and reading too many books about zombies...comic books and survival guides. Sometimes I get scared when I'm home alone, and sometimes I have nightmares about zombies attacking my centretown apartment. We have no survival kit... and too many windows!

constantly endless. not endless. death bed.

Neat-O write up of how we spent our Sunday night. 

there's this too.

This is where I'm going tonight. I'm going to dance.
