I have drawn a line in the sand. See? There's the line:

___________________________________________


Friends only.


But, like, Internet friends count, too. Wanna be added? Drop me a comment!

I swear to god, if I ever get married, I am including sandwiches in my wedding vows.

"Do you, whatever your face is, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, to make sandwiches for daily, as long as you both shall live?"

Potential suitors, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

Okay, I lied. Here's my opinion: Vancouver hockey riot is a symptom of a larger problem

Maybe as a society, we've simply become borderline psychotic.

I can't even comprehend the madness that was last night.

It's so sad when hot guys get ugly.

I just got an unsolicited email from the B.C. NDP (my fault for joining, I suppose) asking me for a $250 donation to the party, from Women's Rights Committee chair Jenn McGinn signed, "In Sisterhood & Solidarity". Because it's International Womens Day and all.

My reply:

"Look, I don't mean to be a jerk about this unsolicited email but you're asking for a $250 donation from a woman who had to pay her bus fare in nickels today. How about you start a fund for me so I can take public transportation home after dark and not fear having transit cops kick me off the bus or SkyTrain because I cannot afford the $2.50 fare?"

People really shouldn't put me on their email lists.

And I actually did try to pay my SkyTrain fare in nickels today because I have no money until I get paid again. (My bank account is $106 overdrawn and I don't have credit cards. FML.) I managed to find $5 in nickels and dimes in my change jar, so I can at least get to work for the next two days without being subjected to the ridiculous transit fine.

But DID YOU KNOW you cannot pay your SkyTrain fare in nickels? Once you put in 40 coins, the machine gives you an error message that says, "maximum number of coins reached". FUCKING BRILLIANT.

"Did you say 'closet exhibitionist'?" she asked.

"Yes," I said, smiling. "Are you one?"

She looked puzzled for a moment, then replied.

"Well, I suppose I sort of am. They're very neat and I don't mind showing people how organized I am." Confusion clouded her face as we burst into peals of laughter.

"What?" she demanded. "I've got great closets!"

During this time authority figures and close relationships, especially old ones from the past, are most likely the objects of your revolt, if you feel it necessary to rebel. You will be much more easily angered than usual, because you quickly interpret everything as a threat to your ego. Above all else, you feel that you must assert your ego in your own highly individual way. And if you have been unconscious of the need for creative change in your life, you are likely to be quite explosive. Sometimes, however, the "explosions" happen to you, which is a sign from your environment that you need to break away from something, although what that is may not be at all obvious. An accident can be the sign of frustrated ego energies transmuted into destructive powers.


Horoscope is bang on today.

SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION

You feel sad or cry a lot and it doesn't go away.

You feel guilty for no real reason; you feel like you're no good; you've lost your confidence.

Life seems meaningless or like nothing good is ever going to happen again.

You have a negative attitude a lot of the time, or it seems like you have no feelings.

You don't feel like doing a lot of the things you used to like—like music, sports, being with friends, going out—and you want to be left alone most of the time.

It's hard to make up your mind. You forget lots of things, and it's hard to concentrate.

You get irritated often. Little things make you lose your temper; you overreact.

Your sleep pattern changes; you start sleeping a lot more or you have trouble falling asleep at night. Or you wake up really early most mornings and can't get back to sleep.

Your eating habits change; you've lost your appetite or you eat a lot more.

You feel restless and tired most of the time.

You think about death, or feel like you're dying, or have thoughts about committing suicide

It feels like every dude I know through Twitter is married and every dude I meet in real life is gay.

Places in Vancouver you cannot pick up men: a sex expo, the opening gala for the PuSh Festival, bars, house parties, friends' bands' shows.
