The Morning After The Christmas Party

i greet the morning and look at my clock; it is 830. there is no sunlight since it is cloudy and raining and i know that i will not be getting back to sleep. i get out of bed and drink some water and some apple juice and put on some pyjamas, since i went to bed naked. i get back in bed and notice that i smell of different colognes, none of them mine. i cant help but laugh at all the madness of the party, the hugs and kisses and having to babysit and spending too much money but you cant put a price on fun, i think ahead to this lonesome day, planning my to do list, which i eventually write down. the day c0ntinues, slow and steady into evening, and i get everything done. joyeux noel.

Happy Birthday Jesus

well i have been home celebrating the birth of our Lord and Saviour, which is why i havent posted in a while. not to mention the fact that my life has been more or less unexciting for the last couple of weeks... except for that whole thing where ive started dating a cage fighter lol. but there isnt really much more to say about that at the moment. anyway Christmas celebrations at teh McIntosh home have been more or less excellent, with the community christmas dinner being both successful and delicious. i also recieved a new jacket from my parents which is super exciting because jackets are possibly the most excellent fashion item. i also got a mixing/blending machine from my dad which i am very excited to use... and i have to bake a cake for nikolai on friday so i will be busting it out hardcore. nik is turning 25... damn hes old. lol. anyway tonite is my displaced new years eve to be celebrated with my good and noble comrades, since i will be back in hammer town on teh evening of the actual event. im looking forward to that. also looking forward to my staff party on wednesday which should be pretty sloppy i think. anyway as i was sitting here i just got to thinking about all of my friends at their homes and how im sure were all in teh same boat... simultaneously having an excellent time and missing hamilton. so best wishes as follows:
best wishes to jen, up in ottawa, party hard dear roomate, party hard
best wishes to matt, visiting his grandparents, dont go too crazy with the weed butter
best wishes to amit, in missasagua, have a drink for me buddy
best wishes to shayla, in costa rica, dont get hepatitis
best wishes to meagan, in stratford, i hope your huge family is doing well
best wishes to nida, in ancaster, not so far away from hamilton, hope youre having fun
best wishes to natalia, (in missasagua, i think), i hope your parents are enjoying your boyfriend more
best wishes to all my buddies at work... im sure youre holding down the fort

What Ever Happened?

well i felt like posting somethng but i dont really have anything exciting to say. soooooooooooo instead i would invite you to contemplate something. what ever happened to matthew broderick? i know hes married to sarah jessica parker and they have a kid now, but i mean come on. the last thing he did that i can recall is that stupid inspector gadget movie, which was so lame. what happened to the days of ferris bueler? and while were on this topic id like to know what happened to a few other people as well. what happened to john cusak? i mean i realise that serendipity movie was probably a career destroying disaster, but why did he do that movie in the first place? didnt he read the script before he signed on? and what happened to michael keaton? did him and tim burton have a tiff or something and now the two of them are depriving us of batman/batman returns/beetlejuice calibre movies? that doesnt seem fair to me. and what happened to susan sarandon? hmmm.....

My New Anthem

Talk To Me Now: Ani Difranco

He said, "Ani, you've gotten tough"

Cause my tone was curt

And when I am approached in a dark alley, I don't lift my skirt

In this city, self-preservation is a full time occupation

I'm determined to survive on this shore

You know I don't avert my eyes anymore

In man's world, I am a woman by birth

And I turn 19 times around, I have found

They will stop at nothing once they know what you are worth

Talk to me now

I played the powerless in too many dark scenes

And I was blessed with a birth and a death and I guess I just want some say in between

Don't you understand

In the day to day or the face to face

I have to act just as strong as I can

Just to preserve a place where I can be who I am

Talk to me now

Will you still know how, you can talk to me now

He said, "Ani, you've gotten tough"

Cause my tone was curt

And when I am approached in a dark alley, I don't lift my skirt

In this city, self-preserevation is a full time occupation

I'm determined to survive on this shore

You know I don't avert my eyes anymore

In a man's world, I am a woman by birth

And I turn 19 times around, I have found

They will stop at nothing once they know what you are worth

Talk to me now

Sober Chloé Has Left the Building

well. today was exam number one of five total and four in this week. (!) but thats not what i want to talk about other than the fact that i wrote the exam hungover which i also did for the midterm in that class. im such a bad student. anyway so today was such a brutal day. i get to school and i remembered that i had this assignment due today that i had done but i didnt print it off and bring it to school. so i decided to go to my linguistics class, which was more or less a waste of time, and then skip ecology so i could go home and get this assignment because i also had to go all the way to queen street to drop off my damn ass pay sheet for my work with sabrina. so i come home, print off the assignment, mow down on some sidekicks (mmmm hangover) and then go down to queen street, drop off my pay thing, get back on the bus, go back to school and hand in my stupid assignment, and then go write my stupid exam. anyway on the way from queen street to school, the bus was really packed, and all of these high school students got on, and this one kid i felt so bad for. he was probably in about grade nine and he got on the bus and i was standing by the back door and he pushed through and was like excuse me i need to get off, i dont like being crowded. it was so heartbreaking. he was obviously totally claustrophobic and when he walked off he kind of had a gimpy leg and he wore his little toque, and he seemed like such a loner that other kids probably made fun of. and i felt so bad for him my heart was breaking into thousands of pieces as i watched him walk away and i wanted to jump off the bus and chase him down and be like let me walk with you, but alas i could not because of my other obligations. anyway so then after my exam, i got the school paper and a tea and i went to wait for my bus and then the bus came and i opened up my wallet and my student card wasnt there, so i was worried i lost it, so i backed off from the bus to look for it, and the bus driver was waiting for me with the door open and he yells out to me, you cant bring that cup on the bus anyway (which is technically true but most of teh bus drivers let you bring anything on the bus) so by this time i had found my student card and he was liek are you coming or not and i was like no go. so i had to sit in the cold and wait for another bus, but at least i had my tea.
