Beyond Pink

a sneak peek into what it's really like to think pink

My poor liver. It's  had a rough couple of days.

First came the Dr.Hook concert on Friday night and a good time was had by all. Unfortunately I have no idea if he got Sylvia's Mother right this time around 'cuz I was probably on my fourth or fifth cup of draft by then, and I'd had two self poured white russians before I even got there, so basically, he was halfway through the song before I even realized that he was singing it and I was so busy talking to Jerry that I missed the rest of it, not that I have any idea what we were talking about, but I'm sure I knew at the time, so that's all that counts. There was also a moment in time that I wondered aloud when he was going to play Cover of the Rolling Stone, and we all stopped, listened, and realized that he was playing it right then, but it was some kinda funky version so it was a little less recognizable, but still, not one of my brightest moments, funny though. But yeah, all in all it was a pretty good night, from what I can remember.

The next day at school, however, was not such a good time, I went through about three hours of moving very slowly, any quick movement lead to dizziness and an overwhelming feeling of nausea, luckily I lived through it and didn't even go home early, yay me! Saturday night consisted of napping, more napping and eventually some sleeping.

And then came Sunday.

Bryce picked up Jordi and myself at around 1:30, we made punch, watched Super Troopers and Club Dread and waited for the fun to start.

The turnout was smaller than in past years, but I was good with that, the right people were there and that's all that matters, and we didn't have to worry about any stupidity which was nice.

That sure was some sneaky punch this year. I was fine for the longest time and then, not so much. I can't even pin point the moment it hit me, it was so sudden, and I know I'm not the only one it snuck up on, but I made a new friend (as I tend to do at most gatherings where alcohol is present) and have Dana's phone number written across my stomach, and somehow Snaz's face found it's way into my cleavage on more than one occasion (I never saw it coming either), I also got to enjoy the humour of Bryce and Steven cock-blocking Jameel, and listening to him bitch about it while trying my best not to go cross-eyed. The one moment I could do without was when Bryce jumped onto the hide-a-bed between me and Warren, and he was naked, luckily the lights were out. Oh and Vince didn't show.

Dallas had a pretty cool shirt.

Today was pretty mellow, Warren (my name isn't fucking Warren) got up and left earlier, I think I heard Snaz leave too, Bryce got up and came and crawled onto the hide-a-bed with me at which point we proceeded to nap some more, Schwing stopped by for a visit and Warren eventually came back, and he brought food. What's better than one bacon double cheeseburger? Two bacon double cheeseburgers (for five bucks). We watched Along Came Polly and Zoolander and I eventually made it home, poor Bryce will be writing his physics test soon.

The only real downside to this past weekend is that I broke many a nail, which means I have to fix them now, and I'm covered with random injuries; bruises and scrapes and only the punch knows where they came from. 

Bryce thinks Marsha Brady's hot.

Happy Anniversary Lisa!

I just went to school six days in a row, and went in early most days, that's gotta be some kind of record, well it is for me anyway, yay me, I'm a scholar, so, that should explain to y'all how exciting my life is, except that along with school comes a whole new group of friends, and they're all girls, at the moment there are plans to get all done up 80's style and go to the Ex, the original plan was the bar, but Mila's only 18, and Nambi's not willing to wait that long, we can't wait to get dressed up like morons and have bad hair and make up, what fun.
 
Went to the Taste of Saskatchewan on thursday with Lindsay, it really is my flavourite event, I ate lots, and we watched a boat speed back and forth, it was cool the first few times, then it just got annoying 'cuz we couldn't hear each other, then we wandered across the bridge and on up to Homestead for some ice cream, Lindsay got orange ice cream, which is apparently a pretty big deal and she got to rub it in her sister's face when she got home (the fact that she had orange ice cream, not the ice cream itself, although that would be funnier)
 
My mother has just informed me that she doesn't know where the bunny is, he's somewhere in the house, but god only knows where, oh well, we figure he'll come out when he gets hungry, speaking of hungry, I'm supposed to be going down to the taste of Sk with Fritz this afternoon and I wanna finish making a skirt first, so I better hop to it, maybe I'll find the bunny on the way.

Well, I'm back. I'ts been a long two months without internet, but I managed to survive somehow. The sad thing is I don't have much to say, school takes up a lot of time in my world, but everything is going good there so that's a bonus, I think my overall average is 94.6, or something like that, so basically, I rock. One really fun thing is that now I know how to repair my nails when they try to break, and how to keep them strong, so they're getting pretty long, it makes it hard to type, but it makes a fun ticking noise, so it's worth it.

I hope everyone enjoys the new template, I sure do, but I don't know how to add links to it, so no one gets links from my page until someone tells me how to do it. Psst, Darren, if you help me out, I'll put your link up first, nudge, nudge.

I went to see the snow leopards at the Forestry Farm on sunday, they're quite adorable, although the highlight of the visit was when one of the monkeys tried to attack Fritz through the glass, top notch entertainment, oh and we had ice cream, I love ice cream. Speaking of which, the last time we had ice cream, t'was during the Jazz festival, we were walking across the broadway bridge and there was this weird chick who kept looking over the bridge, we looked back at her a while later and she was sitting on the edge, so we ran back (ok, Fritz ran, I kinda scurried) and got her to climb down and Fritz called the cops, then she started walking out into traffic, so Fritz went and brought her back again, it was quite an ordeal, but the cops came so we finished our walk and then had ice cream.

Oh another good story was Lisa's birthday party, t'was a rather entertaining evening, although the highlight came at the end of the night when we were going home, Lisa fell out of the car, no one knows how, she was in the car, I turned for a second, and when I turned back she was on the ground, I think I laughed for the entire next week after that, so funny, she spent the rest of the night whining that her chin hurt 'cuz apparently she landed on it.

Oh, sad news, Charlie died last month, June 3rd to be exact, she got sick and just died, it only took two days, I was all worried about her and was gonna take her to the vet, but then she looked like she was getting better, but the next morning she was gone, poor birdie. I miss her tons, I was an absolute mess all day, they almost sent me home from school 'cuz I was useless anyway, but our class is pretty tight so the girls were super supportive and I survived.

I'm having anger issues again, there are some pretty stupid teachers at school and one terrible receptioninst who manages to ruin all our lives on a daily basis, plus the stress of being me, it's amazing I haven't snapped, tho I came pretty close a few months back, luckily it went away and I'm back to my usual level of angerballishness, luckily Fritz has been around a lot lately 'cuz he's about the only person I can stand for any amount of time, and if it weren't for him I'd probably have reverted back to stressed-out-hermit mode. It's a good thing he doesn't read this.

Oh well, I'm off to do homework (ewe) and bask in the joy that is having more than 13 channels (yay).

p.s. I'm sick of feet
