So, I'm pretty sure I've complained in here about how my dad wants us all to move to Montréal and I really want to finish my undergrad here, due to having a social network and suchlike and being involved with commuity stuff and so on and so on and so on. Ad infinitum.
Well, if I haven't, that's the case.
Anyway, it's looking like my friend Amanda is planning to move out by September or so if she can find a roommate. So we've been discussing things.
Probably for the best. Independent life may be the best thing for you.
On my end of things, an old complication of mine contacted me the other day to tell me she's pregnant. This is the girl with the unstable life who moved in with me two years ago, had a fling with me, then hooked up with my best friend, promptly moved in together with him, tried to OD on Tylenol a year ago and then abruptly and without explanation stopped talking to me this past July. I'm still laughing at the prospect of her as a mother. That poor child. Thinking I dodged one hell of a bullet on that one.
Oh, and she told me that she and her man (my old best friend) stopped talking to me because no matter what was going on with them I had a way of saying something that hurt them. I told her I wasn't going to apologize because I've always had a low tolerance for ******** and they have always seemed to have a disposition toward childish flights of fantasy (Example: "By this time next year, Brett and I are going to be married, have a kid and both have great jobs in the city." when they'd been together four months, had no savings and she hadn't had a steady job in half a year). I guess no one appreciates a burst bubble but I'm not about to drink the Kool-Aid and pretend she's well in the head or at all grown up.
I think she expected me to be so overjoyed that she was talking to me that I'd do anything to make us friends again. Instead I wished her luck and told her that her 20-something reversion to teenaged idiot had long past grown old and I was better off without her instability ****ing with my head. Then I hung up the phone.
Sometimes?
I'd have cut the poor girl a break, but that's just because I'm too wishy washy about serious issues like a child or whatever.
So, okay, today was Ash Wednesday (The only day of the year I can hope to get any ash. har har) and, being a chorus member, I suffered a DOUBLE MASS. Four hours of ashes and Jesus and singing and eating Jesus Christ and catholicism. So I basically almost passed out from being so light headed with all the getting up and singing and being sick already and the sitting down and sitting in the uncomfortable pews. So afterwards, first period started.
My lunch, sixth period, wasn't until 2:20. So needless to say I was hungry. So me and my friend started eating during theology, and I had something in my mouth and the teacher was looking at me, and like he can't see my food because it's hidden behind my book, but I use my mad throat skillz to swallow an entire grape (in hindsight, not such a good idea) and he asked me to open my mouth and there was nothing in there.
I'm cool.

Meh. Kid's not mine, so not really my problem. Neither is she, which is kind of the point. I really don't need her brand of insanity screwing up my life. A significant portion of the drama in my life for the past five years has originated from her. Without her, my life was able to get into a much more stable place, and her friendship really isn't worth messing that up.

That would kill me. Which is probably why I avoid anything church-related.

Grapes are a beauty of nature. Full of suspicious mysteries.

All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.
SilveryCord, if you watch Project Runway we must gossip!
You also must share your pics when the collection is complete (especially the ones that turn out bad )! I'm sure we'd all be happy to Tim Gunn for you.
I liked runway this week.
I was glad that whiney hat freak Ricky left. ... I hate him. And on make me a supermodel I was glad to finally see Jay go home. So boring and an awful model (and I could never understand what he was saying)
Totally. The only reason he lasted that long is because someone else managed to screw up worse every time, or lead the team he was on that lost (poor Kit). At least he got to do one good outfit before he got the axe.
So are they sending four to Bryant Park again or are they cutting two next week? Because they said next week is the last challenge before Bryant Park.
This has been a really interesting seasons because it's anyone's game. Everyone remaining has done some great work and done some bad work. Anyone can get cut next week if they don't hit the mark. I think the three I'd like to see in the finale are Christian, Gillian, and Chris. I don't really like Gillian but for the most part I've really liked her work. The other two both have the potential for some really interesting collections. I really like Sweet Pea but I'm just not sure she'd put an interesting collection together. Rami does great work but everything of his looks the same. Then again, I don't think any of them could possibly produce anything as bad as Michael Knight's "urban safari" collection.

Sooo. I'm in Minnesota! Yesterday I spend the day just sort of hanging out at Shea's (my friend) school. I attended her classes and her theatre rehearsal, both of which were pretty fun.
But THEN, we went to the Sweeney Todd touring cast, which was inCREDIBLE. Everyone was, I thought, really very good, but Judy Kaye (as Mrs. Lovett), Lauren Molina (Johanna), and Benjamin Eakely (Beadle Bamford) were, in my mind, the standouts. The set design was also completely amazing. I'm not one to write really long reviews though, so I shan't. But I have Lauren Molina's and Keith Buterbaugh's (Judge Turpin) autographs! And I have pictures of me with Lauren and with David Hess (Sweeney himself).
Today's probably going to be a shopping/tourist day. Because every trip needs one of those.
It's about time you showed up blue. Geez.

Well I've participated in every gaymers thread since it started so I figure why stop now. :-P

I don't think Gillian nor Sweet P are strong enough to go next week. I also dont like Rami very much considering all he really knows how to do is drape things. Even his diva wear was drapery.
I'm so glad Chris came back to the show even though it meant Jack had to leave. I think Jack could have easily won the whole thing because he was really good. But now for me it's down to Chris and Christian and no one else matters. I do like Sweet P. And I don't like Gillian (she whines and she's SO SLOW) Does she remind you of Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing? nobody puts baby in overalls.
Maybe that's just me. Maybe she just looks like she's from the 80s because of her overalls and her hair style.
They should just cut 3 people and make it between Chris and Christian in the end Though I am concerned about Chris sleeping in the middle of a challenge?[/spoiler]
They've all shown at fashion week (all five from this weeks challenge, and two of them are decoy collections. Only three are in the game, they just have two show so we don't know who the final 3 is) and, well, I have some observations:
Sweet P is actually awesome
Rami did... well, what did you think he did in his collection?
Jillian did an amazing, strong, collection. I'm putting her in top two, and a possible winner.
Christian was derivative. His collection screamed "I'm a BRITISH DESIGNER. Look at how BRITISH I am! Do you see how BRITISH I am? Vivienne Westwood isn't NEARLY as british as me!!!", which was kind of sad. He and Jillian both did hats, which was unexpected, since hats have been 'out' for a long time.
Chris used human hair as a trim. I'm calling decoy. Even he wouldn't put that past Nina.
Elisa and VictorYA both showed at fashion week separately.
It's funny, I'm not emotionally invested in anyone left in the competition, like I was in other seasons. I really honestly couldn't care less about season four. Instead, I'm watching s3 DVDs and stalking Jay McCarroll's two new collections. He's doing Camp Beverly Hills AND QVC in the same span of a month! How will I handle myself?
My mom is buying the Laura Bennett dress coming out on QVC too. Like, honestly, neither of us even care about the current season, but we're stalking everything else PR.
I saw 27 Dresses yesterday; it was the most fabulous movie I've seen in a while. Hey hey don't get me wrong I've seen better movies recently, but the last time I saw a movie as fabulous was probably when I saw My Best Friend's Wedding a few months ago. I like sappy romances and I'm slowly getting better at tearing up at the ends.
Good Dr.: I only cry for video games with serious plots and for strongly produced girl comes to town stories. In other words, Hairspray and Code Lyoko. DUH.
So I turned on the TV today, and Goil Amornvivat was on Trading Spaces. I almost ran to get some glitter and sequins. Damn. He is really, really, gay. He walks into the room with two gold pom poms, and is shaking them, and the woman who is doing the room for her friend is like there, and he introduces the carpenter, and she goes to hug the carpenter, and Goil screams, "NO!", and pushes her out of the way. Then he giggles and smiles, saying, "He's MY carpenter."
I think James Marsden is hot. I'm convinced he's gay. I was hoping Wolverine and Cyclops or He and Superman would get it on (or he and zack effron...but not zack effron in that movie cuz he looked so strange)
I think James Marsden is hot. I'm convinced he's gay.
Considering the man is married with children, unless he's got some very serious suppression/denial skills or your gaydar needs a tuneup sweetcheeks. Hope the warranty's still good.
First: You know my gaydar is broken. Second: I'm convinced he's gay. Married with children never stopped anyone in hollywood from being gay. He likes Brian Singer too much to not be gay :-P
So with that infallible logic the only verdict must be gay.
Maybe so but....I want it to be true....that counts right?!
Honestly. Tom Cruise is married and has a kid. We all know he's gay though. It CAN happen :-P But no I didn't know James Marsden had a family. That'll hurt when he comes out of the closet then
I like to think sexy men are gay, but I'm not sure why. It helps that I find gayness sexy.
Like the least believable part of 27 Dresses was the scene where Katherine Heigl tries on all of them while he watches and makes snide remarks and takes photos. That is, least believable unless he's gay of course, in which case it makes perfect sense.
@James Marsden : Kinda cute, but wow he is so uber boring, hot but so completely unsexy.
It would be ironic if he were gay, after how my group of friends in Vancouver used to make fun of Cyclops in the Capcom Marvel games as being super Faggy. We had gay-themed names for all his moves. "GAY-POSE!!!" *fires eye beam* "Jean Slicer!!!" (secretly his hidden hatred of Jean (his life long Beard) is expressed as he leaps and flails in the air) He also grunted alot.
I bought a PS3 with Rock Band. It's taking all my time. I'm playing it right now. I got little else of note going on and I doubt everyone would be awestruck in rapt attention were I to go on and on about my 100% Five-Star belting of My Sharona my first time trying the song. Or any of the numerous mini-victories I feel make me kickass.
Probably for the best. Independent life may be the best thing for you.
