SUPER FRUSTRATIONS

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:05:42 GMT

Okay, so no one here is shocked that I have an eating disorder the size of Kingston. But for some reason it's really starting to bug me. I mean, it isn't as serious as lots of other peoples, I'm fine a whole bunch of the time. (I mean, I can go for a month and not have any sort of "freak out") But I am really pitying myself tonight over this one.

I've had one really for as long as I can remember, because my parents set the BEST example ever. There is no way in my family to not feel guilty about food. You're either guilty for eating too much ("Do you really need all that?") or guilty for not eating enough ("I never see you eat", "You're too skinny", "You have no bum" etc etc)

The thing that pisses me off the most is that it's so ordinary and common and textbook. I would love to be unique and like how my body looks, to never feel the need to restrict calories or throw up or any of that glamour. I would love to know that my siblings were spared this, and that I am the unevenly unhealthy one, but it's in all of us. We pretty much all are the same when it comes to this one. Way to go genetics/nagging.

In short, I haven't eaten more than 300 calories in the last three days and am extremely pissy. And made the phone call ages ago back home saying I had the flu.

Fuck.

I hate the gym

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 17:45:48 GMT

Ok. I am in no way in top physical form. To this I am resigned and will not mourn it. Although, when one traditionally works out alone, they tend to get ideas in their head about the splendor that is their own fitness.
Allow me to explain, due to my laziness if I jog for 15 minutes, do 100 crunches and 20 minutes of yoga that is the workout of a lifetime. And because of that my brain tells me I am good at things.
I believe the gym was invented purely for the purpose of letting you know that your friends are in better shape than you are. I already hate going, but the weather outside is horrid, and I wanted to do something more than be lazy in my apartment. Basically the result- I am as uncoordinated, unfit, and overall unprepared person ever to set foot in the PEC.

On Why I Hate Shaky-Cams and How I Will Abandon You All

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 15:30:11 GMT

So I went to see Cloverfield last night, and it was good and interesting, however the camera was shaky to the point that it gave me a headache and made me want to throw up :(
But I really liked elements from it, not a huge fan of how much they showed the monster, it looked really dumb, sort of like the troll from Lord of the Rings.
I hope you all know, as much as I love you and think you are all fantastic. If a crazy monster attacked the city we were all living in and people were dying and it was absolute madness all around me I would try to find you, but I would probably allow myself to be evacuated after some of the craziness that went down and hope that sending you good vibes would be enough.
This philosophy also applies to zombie attacks, killer viruses, killer bees, the apocalypse, ninjas overtaking the country, and most importantly an invasion from the United States so that they can control our natural resources, ie water.

and the little one said

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 22:02:34 GMT

roll over, roll over

So yes, Evan and Chris were over for the last two days, the first night Evan, Chris, Conor and I were all in the same bed, pretty much only Evan slept, the rest of us laid there considering sleeping on the floor. Last night Chris was at Lauren's, so there were just the three of us, but I'm a whore when I'm asleep and sexually assaulted Evan in my sleep, luckily he wasn't mad.....
Yup, I'm living the dream.
But Chris is back from Japan which is wonderful, and apparently everything is made of beans there including candy. Chris brought us some....it was gross.

awesome

everyone should see the Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. It's super excellent

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 18:44:36 GMT

it' s one of my most favourite vegan's birthday today!
happy birthday m'dear, you should come to kingston while there aren't massive sworms of bugs!

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 14:01:33 GMT

Lear opens on Wednesday!!!!! All must come see it

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 22:31:09 GMT

just saw a trailer for Iron Man, to which I politely raise my eyebrow and wait for further information.

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 18:25:45 GMT

So I was listening to the 1812 Overture, and long story short it still gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes. It's so amazing that all this time later the relief and praise is still so strong, so very remarkable, possibly one of the best pieces of music that are available to us. Sigh.

Sat, 13 Oct 2007 16:28:54 GMT

you know what's awesome? When big fusses are made that you should come in and help on shows and then no one is fucking there....and there are no lists of things to do. ANGER

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 12:45:48 GMT

The big tree outside my window is turning the most beautiful red. I love fall.
I have to buy work clothes, because apparently sweat pants don't cut it.
I should be writing my essay.......but I'm not, and I'm at a good place with that.

Oh, and I yet again was informed by Conor that he imagines that I won't have to work....because he'll earn all the money we'll need.....while working in the arts.....theatre to be exact.....nothing pays better than that.

OSAP = BALLS

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:01:37 GMT

OSAP has sort of screwed me over, so I'm going to have to go into more debt. Huzzah. It's really going to be helpful that Conor won't have a massive debt upon graduation, so we won't be totally destitute. Yippee.
I've been writing all the time, which is really going well, I think that I'll finally be finished soon.
Went out with Jamus, Trish and Iryna last night, Jeffy was there, which was really nice, also there were some other high school people there which was nice.
Conor is returning from tour soon, we're set to have some fun = very enjoyable. We have to go to Ottawa too, because I am insisting on it. We will be there probably near the end of the month. And it will be magical. Magical I say!

School can kiss my ass

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 18:30:30 GMT

I just handed in my last assignment for my summer classes. YIPPEEE, now I just have exams and I am freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! Until September.....

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

Sun, 15 Jul 2007 13:48:27 GMT

So I went to see Roger Waters last night.
He opened with In the Flesh, closed with Comfortably Numb, and played the Dark Side of the Moon all the way through. It was totally incredible. At one point they created the most amazing thing I've ever seen done with lighting. I'm trying to find a picture, or how they did it.

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 02:56:58 GMT

we'll miss you Ed
