Due to a bunch of different circumstances, my Christmas/New Years has kind of been a bust. Some of its my fault, some of it isn’t- namely, public transpo has been on strike which seriously limits my ability to get around and exasterbates a whole bunch of other stuff. I could go on, but I won’t. I’ve never really been an enthusiastic New Year’s celebrator. For me, its a...

We can blow on our thumbs and posture, But the lonely is such delicate things. The wind from a wasp could blow them, Into the sea, With stones on their feet, Lost to the light and the loving we need.

I hate christmas.
My sister is downstairs putting the finishing touches on our christmas tree. Made of paper and paint. I keep trying to remind myself that at least we’re all together and at least we have a home. But if we don’t have a tree, or presents, or a turkey is it really Christmas?

I’m sitting here, eating my ver ver healthy lunch of chocolate ice cream, considering the events of last night. Mr. C and I went out and had drinks at a pub near his place. It was alot of fun even if I drank a little more than I probably should have. Having to wander around the neighbourhood for a half hour trying to find his car because they had towed it in order to plow the sidewalks...

I’m tired. I’m tired of the rat-race of school/work/party. I’m tired of not liking myself very much at all. I’m tired of being unhappy. I’m tired of choosing the wrong men. I’m tired of not getting what I want. I’m tired of being alone. I’m tired of feeling like a mess. I’m tired of people who aren’t nice. I’m tired of people who...
I did my second last exam this morning- and found out I got perfect on my draughting assignment. However, I have been stuck at school since nine o’clock this morning. It is now four. That is seven hours. Its all because of this never ending public transit strike. I may actually start walking if my parents don’t get here soon. Too bad I live right on the other side of the city.

Somehow, with one exam down, and two to go (thursday and friday) I have managed to come down with what feels like my 50 millioneth cold this year. Seriously. As I said to my Mum- my head is so filled with snot I kind of want to bash it against a wall. I am so ready for this semester to be over with. But then I will have nothing to do besides my one class next semester and trying to find a job...
Aparently, while buying wine earlier, I looked nervous enough for the guy at the cash to stare but not nervous enough for him to card me. I’ve bought booze twice since I turned 19 and I haven’t been carded yet!
be.
saintnate:
Be you.
Don’t be someone else. Don’t be someone else’s standards for you. Don’t even try to be the best version of yourself.
All of those things are bullshit.
Be you.
You laugh. You hurt. You are.
No one else can do what you do, as long as you focus on being you.
So, Be you.
This really couldn’t have been posted at a better time. Thanks!

This weekend was a whirlwind of birthday celebrations that have finally culminated in sheer exhaustion tonight, with a touch of panic over the first of my exams tomorrow. Although I had to be at the theatre last night it turned out to be the absolutely perfect birthday- the sound designer/op brought wine and we enjoyed during the show. This did, thankfully, greatly improve a show that I...
I just got home from the first of my birthday celebrations.My best friend took me out for fish and chips, and white wine- at my new favourite place. It was really lovely, even though the current public transit strike but a damper on our original plans (which involved alcohol and Quebec). Now I am going to go relax with a bubble bath and crawl into bed with a good book. Tomorrow I’ll wake up...
Being in that place between friendship and relationship is very unnerving.

The transit service in Ottawa, my main and pretty much only means of transportation, is threatening to strike. Not only do I have three exams next week, but I have to be at the theatre (which is clear across the city) on Friday and Saturday. My step Dad, who does have a car, is going to be out of the city this weekend. It pretty much looks like, as of Wednesday morning,there is going to be no bus...
