I'm pretty much ditching this journal. I've added people to the new one. I'd just like to start over and write what I want to write.

Definitely not at ALL worksafe!

This is one kick ass photo show, organized by some kick-ass queer people I hold totally near and dear, Christine and Leanne.
And I am so excited about the photos Steph and I did. And they're just the beginning. We're going to do so much good work together. We work so bloody well together on so many levels.

BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY, seek opportunities

to genuinely connect with others, and need to

be appreciated. They do everything with

quality and are devoted and loyal friends and

employers/employees. Whatever or whomever

they commit to are their sole (and soul)

focus. They love to serve and will give

freely of themselves in order to nurture

others lives.

BLUES, however, do need to be understood. They have

distinct preferences and occasionally the

somewhat controlling (but always fair)

personality of a confident leader. Their code

of ethics is remarkably strong and they

expect others to live honest, committed lives

as well. They enjoy sharing meaningful

moments in conversation as well as

remembering special life events (i.e.,

birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are

dependable, thoughtful, nurturing, and can

also be self-righteous, a bit worry-prone,

and emotionally intense. They are like

sainted pit-bulls who never let go of

something once they are committed. When you

deal with a BLUE, be sincere, make an effort

to truly understand them, and truly

appreciate them.

So, yeah, yesterday was my birthday. The running joke was that it was the 11th anniversary of my 21st birthday. My mom even sent me a 21st birthday card.
Anyway, had a few people over to Stephanie's house for food and drink, laughs and long-threatened arm-wrestling broke out at the end. Was good times.
Then a few of us went to Fetish Masquerade's Vegas theme. I say we made the room, we were the scene. I did my best vegas cool, and Steph did hot trashy vegas bride. Would you believe noone else thought of that theme, trashy vegas bride? Not that we saw, at least. But yeah, damn, we were HOTT. Fuck ya'll.



Anyway, so, we left the party and were walking down Queen West as all the other clubs and everythng were letting out. And people kept smiling at us, congratulating us, hugging us on having just gotten married. OH FUCK it was funny. We totally played it up. GOD DAMN, funny, funny. We did it from Funhaus to Queen and University. By that time, our admirers had thinned out and we realized how bloody cold it was.
We're lots of fun together.

The hardest thing i've ever done was kiss my girls goodnight on the night I moved out.
The second hardest was today.

Current Music: Crown Of Love-The Arcade Fire-Funeral

So, you're supposed to start the day looking for new experiences, are you?

Finding that your car has been fuckin' towed is not the type of new experience I wanted today!

Readily admitting fault here, I was the one who missed the sign as was parked on the street during a no parking time.

BUT FUCK ME! Towing just seems so...so...uncivilized.

The title of this article is, perhaps, one of the most sick play on words I've ever heard.
If you don't know why, I'll tell ya.

I'm not particularly interested in many drugs. E, coke, heroin, k, crystal...none of these hold much appeal to me. I am quite happy to just drink booze and occasionally smoke pot. But I have always wanted to just try acid. Alas, noone will let me. Friends who I've been close enough to want to do it always end up saying "NO!" because it just wouldn't be a good mix with me. Oh well.
It was good to read this little history though.

So, ummm, who can I possibly convince to babysit for me on Friday January 27...aka the last Vazaleen?
Even though vaz has gone so far downhill in the past couple years, I'd like to send it off. Hell, I've been going since it was Vazeline, at the El Mo and Andrew Harwood almost pissed all over my shoes on the dance floor. And given the rumour Debbie Harry might be playing...I really, really want to go
So, if you think you might want to hang out at my place that night while the monkeys sleep (seriously, you won't need to do anything kid-related, they go to sleep and wake up in the morning)...lemme know. And please do include your list of bribes required.
If not, I hope everyone who goes to bury this thing has a good time.
