Do I ever update? No.
BUT just for my own viewing later on I will say this: I climbed through a second story window this week for the sake of ART!
Sort've...It wasn't really my art. It was Gerry's. He wanted to practice piano and the choir college doors were locked. So he boosted me up and I crawled onto the ledge and into the window...then proceeded to open the door. He played for about an hour and it was beautiful. We went to crystal after...mmm omelette.
It was Lex's 21st today. We bar hopped around...places were dead. I mean-it's a tuesday. Yet we managed to get her wasted and have a good time! Clubbing will be in order soon.
Other than that...I've been around doing random shit-working out, hanging out, designing out, etc...
If anyone actually reads this: I am leaving Sept 1st-Dec 12th. I also plan to blog while I'm away but I think I'm going to switch blog servers again (so I can upload photos and such). AND a new name perhaps...so if you are interested in knowing about my adventures I will give you the name.
Anyway, here are some fab. things Lex said while trashed:
Carlos comes up to Lex and rambles off in spanish to her. they both laugh and she goes "ohhh yeaaa!!..........I have no fucking idea what you are talking about."
Singing along to "Hey Micki"..."Oh micki you so fine-you can do me from behind!"
To some random little punk at the gas station with a shirt that read "pimpin' is easy"....."Do you even know what pimpin' is?!" "YEA! It's....easy!" Lex and I respond with extremely loud laughter "DAHAHAHAHA"
Lex to Abdul at gas station..."I GOT MY EYES ON YOU!!" "uh huh"
Lex stealing seasame chicken from Rohams plate then coughing..."OH MAN I almost choked on his chicken!!!"
I comment on how Lex never wears bras and she says " I WEAR BRAS!!! They just limit your possibilties!"
Where and what Lex had:
The Alchemist-An Archie
Contes-A cosmo and malibu bay breeze
Applebees-Apple caramel martini, sex with an alligator shot and a blue hawaiian
TGIFs-Mojito and Blue motorcyle (which is probably the most deadly drink you can end with) |

| Hello everyone |

Hey everyone.
So I guessed that I should probably update considering I haven't since April. A lot has happened...
I guess the last you heard from me was just before portfolio review. I passed with a B+, which is fine by me. During this time though my Mum ended up in the hospital. She had liquid in her lungs, which they had to remove - still unsure where it came from. She spent a little over 2 weeks at the hospital and I came home for a couple of days during the worst to see her. She has been out for probably a month now and her recovery has been going good - she even managed to put back on some of the weight she lost this past week. And I went back to school for my finals and ended the semester with the usual good grades, had fun during spring fling and found out I was officially going to Central Saint Martins in London in the fall.
As soon as I got home though there wasn't much of a break because it was time to prepare for the show. Among all the show business, I went to an interview with Leah Faust (LeahFaust.com) and scored an internship with her. She is still young herself, being in her later 20's I believe, and we have some good projects for the summer. I have visited her twice for over views on projects, but tomorrow I really begin with my own. I will also be making profits from the projects I work on plus a weekly $50 stipend - which is great. I also thought hey, I really need a job so I applied to a bunch of places - at which one interview made me bark like a dog so I decided to not take that job. I ended out thinking if I could get a day and night job I would be set. So I took this nightly newspaper route - needless to say I did it for two days and the route would go from about 1 till 5 - waaaay too long. The parents set in on me and I thought well, I better not do a job that worries them sick. I quit. Instead I called the number of an article I saw in the newspaper for artist office assistant, went to the interview and got the job. Which I start today. I will be aiding in the production of custom cards and designing a catalog for her at $10/hr. I still think I need another job so I'll keep trying. Not to make a big ordeal out of it more than it is but Juju and I spent about 3 hours doing online research and calling numbers and eventually found Sam, who was sitting pretty in CT while everyone at home was worried sick at her. There seems to have been miscommunications somewhere, but I honestly do not give two damns...shes fine.
So I went up to Maria's a couple of days before the opening to hang the show and get all the last minute details worked out. It took us about 12 hours to hang it by ourselves and it looked excellent. The opening went better than anyone could've expected. I had a good constant flow of people, met many new people, saw my most important friends enjoy my work and sold (as of now) up to $500 of work. This money will of course go back into paying off my debt from the show. It was also delightful to see my parents there enjoying themselves and Sam was reunited with her family for a bit. The after party was fabulous and Derrick, Andrew, Keith and Catherine stayed at Cornelias with Maria and I after. The next day was a little nuts but in the end, Maria and I organized what we had to and I came home. At which I found a check for $371 for doing that newspaper job: perhaps they paid me for the full week and a bit more? Nice.
As for now...it begins my paying off, saving up and getting ready for London. I also plan to enjoy my summer.
Fin. |

Better stay awake tonight you guys...Something is going to happen that won't for another 1,000 years. At 1:02:03 (2 minutes past 1 and 3 seconds) it'll also be 04/05/06...SO 01:02:03 at 04/05/06... Weird right? Whatever. This is the important crap that the 10 oclock news puts in your head.
Another realization: I have ruined at least one laundry bag each year of my college career. Why can't I not destroy things? |

This quite a rant so only read it if you give a damn about my thoughts and not about what I've been doing:
So I've been really nostalgic lately... With everything that I need to think about and do, I've just escaped into the back of my head. Even in the middle of doing work my mind will wander back to the days of warm, summer nights riding my bike around the block with Gran walking at my side.
I was on the phone to her yesterday actually...she asked if I remembered her reading me bedtime stories and how I would always want another chapter then it would be hell to wake me up in the morning. "Oh those were lovely times" She said. And then I said how I remembered drawing her millions of pictures and taping them to her door for her to find at random times throughout the day (it was always weird pictures of made up people too...) She laughed and said "Yes, but now you are all grown up." Then I said "Yea and I still draw weird pictures."
She made a comment about how I'm more serious now...but I wonder: How serious IS my work? I'm never focused on one thing at a time...its how I am...but my best work always comes around every so often when I engulf myself in it. It doesn't happen often...or should I say recently? Well, with the show coming up in June I guess I just have nerves...there was a lot more projects I wanted to do for it but now I don't know so much? Maybe its the fight in me with design and art...I don't want to separate the two, but why don't I feel like I'm not producing any art? Maybe I'm not really producing any design either...
Hmmm...this is why thoughts of days on the playground with Mum, Gordon and Dad cloud me...no worries. Well, thats not true actually because things are relative and I'm sure I was worrying about whether or not I would have friends over the next day. And I'll look back on my college years like Why was I worrying about portfolio/koopman so much?
I was also thinking about my high school years. If I got the chance would I re-do them? I don't think so...I'm perfectly happy not going back there. At the same time theres a bit of guilt in my head for how I treated my parents. I wish I was a better student. I wish I didn't demand rides with my friends everywhere. I wish I could have just sat at home some days and been happy with them. I wish I didn't stay out so late and worry them. I wish I didn't have Eric stay over all the time. I wish I listened more and wasn't so selfish. I mean, I asked Mum why I was granted the freedom I was and she said I had a good sense of right and wrong...in some respects I did:I avoided smoking and drugs. But I was also really stupid and trusting of people. Gran told me about how Mum and Dad were during those "high school years" and I can see now why they treated me the way they did. I just feel I took advantage of them and I wish I didn't. Although now I have a good relationship with my Mum because of it...Dad and I are good but not as good as we could be I guess-we could talk more. I said to Mum that maybe I just went through that teenage rebellious stage and she said No, you weren't bad. Maybe its because I hid everything from her...why did I do that? I dunno... Moral of my life so far is that you have to fuck up, learn and get on with it. And I've always had the no regrets attitude and I wouldn't be where I am without all those mistakes...but maybe the human in me is saying to feel a little more...a little guilt can't hurt. |

Okay... if you see me around and I'm acting a bit loopy it's for two reasons:
1. I'm on antibiotics for broncitis (its not as bad as I've had in the past. Mostly a cough that won't go away). The doctor said they'd make me a little crazy.
2. Portfolio review is coming up and that brings out the madman in all designers. I'm feeling pretty decent about it at this point but it could be that I'm not on crunch time. I saw someone printing out pretty much everything for her portfolio because shes a fairly fast worker and spent her spring break doing it here. I'm jealous and modivated. haha. But I figure if she can resolve a lot of things in a week so can I. So by the end of this week I will have all my sophomore stuff done and printed. (I already finished something last night so hey, its a start?) I'm going to redo my font poster today (slice of cake in comparison to busting my ass on it last year. just watch.)
I've been without mayo for probably at least 3 weeks now. There is gonna be one of two results:
1. I quit mayo saying hey I can deal without it obviously.
2. When Easter hits, Jamal and I pig out on everything that we can put ketchup and mayo on. Then go back to having it... probably cut back on it a bit though. (That means no more fries and no more mayo on eggs. But sometimes on a sandwich.)
And while we are on the topic of food theres something you should know:
1. I've been cooking veggies everyday. Cutting out as much bread as possible. (Unless its all bran or multi-grain)
2. And have been going without chocolate...been having fruit yogurt instead.
Cheating on my new healthier diet includes:
1. I will allow myself some chocolate ice cream if I feel like I need it desperately once a week. (and I won't eat the whole tub)
2. The design lab sparks some bad habits so I will also allow myself one fuck up a week since I'm in there so much. (last night was my fuck up. I had a bagel from dunkin donuts. tsk tsk)
There are also some little other things I'm changing after speaking with my doctor. The bottom line being working out for two hours won't change shit unless I change my diet. Go figure. But I need to eat more to lose weight and it needs to be more good things, not bad things. And I'm not going on some crash diet. This is me adjusting my eating habits into somewhat normal ones since when I'm at school I eat once a day in the afternoon and eat a shitload then don't eat anything else and its usually not good stuff.
Also just to put this out there: Some boys are just dead stupid. Why is it so hard to find someone with a little intellect? Cute and smart never seem to come together and I'm sick of settling for just cute.
Thats it from me. Peace bitches! |

[Mar. 19th, 2006|01:58 pm] |
Maria and I are chillin here in an internet cafe (The Van Gogh cafe). Shes got her tea, we got some olive bread and I had a crepe with ham, cheese and egg for breakfast (YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!) I know its lame to be at an internet cafe while on vacation but I had to check the address for icograda and I had to purchase a half hour of time...so I decided to write.
Anyway, we went to the contemporary art museum here yesterday and there was some amazing stuff. We attempted to go and see student work but the gallery was closed for renovations. The first night we got here, we went down to St Catherines and went to McLeans for SANGRIAAAAAAA then we went to Karinas on Cresent and danced our asses off. Last night was spent down St Laurent bar hopping and finishing at JUICE (of course).
ANYWAY I gotta handle this olive bread. =D
AUREVOIR BITCHES!!!!!! |

First off...GOLDFARB TOMORROW! I wanna dress up and be pretty. This suite has to represent ; ) FYI, "bodyscape 1" is mine.
Second...CANADA HERE I COME! I know...what am I thinking? Snow on friday. But I don't give two motherfucks. I'm gonna wake up in Canada on Saturday, take a deep breath and be like GOOD MORNING LADIES!!! ; P I'm also meeting with Brenda Sanderson from icograda for lunch on Monday!!
Third...Spring break, workin' on portfolio. Wah wah. I will be home though. Just like I was home for a bit last weekend (like anyone actually cares besides Roham and Gerry, but thats cool =p ) Oh well. To friends at home for spring break YOU ARE ALL DEAD TO ME!!!! DEADDDDD!!!
Fourth...Invites are to be sent to the printer soon for show in June. Be excited! And if I don't have your address you better give it to me NOW!
Fifth...Got a $200 check last week and it went right back into Study Abroad (first advance fee). Thats good though. Saved the parents some money of their own. And bought a world map to mark off everywhere I've been. Stephanie and I think Barcelona for my birthday (I know it was Madrid before, but Ryanair doesn't fly as close to there). Hmmm yes.
Sixth...Juju and Roham visited me and we had a crazy pirate party. Thanks to Dom for DJing and throwin it down! My ass stayed semi-sober this time *pat on back* And the next day at wake and booze, the boys took all the furniture out of our apartment and piled it into their living room while we were out (Lock your doors if you don't want anyone runnin up in your crib stealin shit!!!) . Man, I wish I could've saw that!
Seventh...Kris and I realized my name goes with any well balanced breakfast. Fi-tabix, Fi-rrios, Frosted mini fi's, Fi flakes....
And thats my update.
Oh yea, does anyone know how to delete a motherfucking myspace account? I wanna get rid of mine and keep just MaFiA's. And I've sent in the email saying CANCEL about a thousand times. ARGH! |
