All I could do is put a seashell to your ear.


So I got the job. I am now a customer service representative at TD bank.
YAY.
I don't start until the 3rd week of February.
The process of getting employment at a bank is ridiculously long and tedious, but (hopefully) worth it.
I now have to buy some adult clothing, such as dress pants and skirts. I have googled "how to dress for work" quite a bit in the last little while. I read an article in the new york times today that said pantsuits were the ugliest thing a woman could wear and were unfeminine. I disagree and want to punch the writer of the article (who was a women, fyi).
Women are so mean to each other. Every single woman I know hates on other women at least once a day ( I am not an exception to this observation).
It's sad.

On a more positive note, my school might go on strike.

Side note: Obviously the above statement was meant to be sarcastic, as it is not a positive thing (for me, at least) for my school to go on strike. Which leads me to something one of my professors said today in class. She is an extremely intelligent lady who I really respect and like to learn from, and I feel like she's an adult who I can aspire to be like. Anyways, today she said that she hates sarcasm and never uses it because it is negative and always puts someone or something down in it's process. Now as many people know, I LOVE to be sarcastic. I love it when other people are sarcastic (for the most part and only if done right). But she made me seriously question my desire to use sarcasm. Is it negative? Does it bring on negative consequences and lead to other bad things? I'm going to think about this, read some stuff about what other people think about sarcasm and get back to you (you being myself on my blog LOLz).
(I'm really into brackets tonight)

What was my point?

My school!
I went to York last year and in my last year at university, they went on strike for I think like 2 months. During this time I was very productive. I watched every single episode of 4 seasons of criminal minds at least twice, and learned the entire choreography to Beyonce's single ladies (would not recommend this - very difficult/exhausting and end result will be completely ridiculous if you're not Beyonce).
And now I go to college (because there's not much one can do with a bachelors degree in sociology) for one year, and in that one year there will most likely be a strike.

point: strikes suck.

Today my teacher told us she would give us her personal email and if we had questions about the material during the strike we could ask her. Then some guy yelled SCAB really loudly and everyone laughed and I could tell she was so embarrassed she wanted to cry and I wanted to cry with her because I felt so bad for her to have to teach fucking assholes like us when she has such an obvious burning desire to genuinely help students learn.
I like teachers like her.
But she is a scab.


I am turning 24 in 4 days. I feel lots of things about this, none that I can articulate or feel like sharing.
But I will share that I feel like 24 is going to be a great year for me.

I don't know what to do for my birthday.

This is the worst entry I've ever written.
I blame lack of sarcasm and over-use of real feelings.

Kelli tagged me in this on facebook recently. It was taken at the biodome in Montreal.

End note:
I love M. Ward.

And it doesn't count, because I don't care.



My face is intensely itchy.
Also, I'm going to Montreal for the weekend.


I found a Fotki account of mine from 5 years and 2 months ago. This is just one of the gems that was in it.

God DAMMIT, I was so crazily attractive in high school.
Side note: I am wearing a motion city soundtrack t-shirt, parasuco jeans, and what looks to be a baby blue velour hoodie of some sort.


Sometimes I wonder who would make fun of the other better/harder:
Previous self or Now self.

because you are the best laaaawyyyyerrrr in tooowwwwnnnn

tomorrow i will be done forever
and im feeling VERY nostalgic
all i want to do is take pictures of everything at york 
mainly the things that mattered to me
so basically i want to take pictures of every bathroom at york 
that i hid in instead of being social
or going to class
or doing anything 

i realized a few days ago when i was there that i know where all the bathroom at york are
and not because i have poor bladder control


so maybe that's what i'll do
that is EXACTLY what i'll do
i'm going to take pictures of every bathroom i've ever lingered in a little too long to be considered normal to avoid having to make eye contact or walk through a crowd or *gasp* actually attempt conversation in a setting that isn't a classroom
im going to take pictures of them all and make a scrap book titled: 
"york university: the best years of my life!"
but secretly it will be all about social anxiety 
and how a desire to constantly impress everyone 
at all times 
makes it worse
as does copious amounts of coffee
and i'm going to decorate it with stickers
i've actually wanted to make a scrap book for a long time 
but i can never think of anything worth documenting on paper in my life
because facebook is faster 

project!!

i'm listening to the weezer tribute album
it makes me think of highschool
and why i never hid in the bathroom there
?

and that makes me concerned for when i am older
will i hide in more bathrooms, more of the time?
cause that's the direction i appear to be headed

i love how i talk about my stupidity as if it is something thats happening to me and entirely out of my control
and not something i could choose to change

i was thinking about partying it up hxc after the last exam tomorrow
and getting super drunk and maybe puking out my anxiety all over the backseat of my car
but then i remember i kind of HATE drinking 
and can be an idiot / dance like one, without alcohol
in fact, alcohol doesn't really affect my horrid dancing skills that much
except maybe makes me think im a marginally better one 

i wish i had more to say but ive been locked in my room for the past two weeks because i feel too guilty going out instead of staying home learning about how Freud thinks that guilt is the reason we can't ever be truly happy and kids want to fuck their mothers
thats another thing ive wanted to complain about for a while but keep forgetting to 
take a second to process that last sentence. i have to remind myself of things that i need to complain about.
i have to learn primarily about old men who lived a long long fucking time ago 
and what they think about the world
at least this year anyways because i decided to take a lot of philosophy classes for some reason even though i almost flunked out of school when my major was philosophy
who am i kidding i almost flunked out when my major was business too
i've had three different majors in five years 
point: 
all these old dead men had a affinity for fucking little boys
and no one would listen to pedophiles thoughts today 
and so i feel kind of angry that i have to hear what these guys think now
because all i can think about is the kids they butt fucked

on that happy note:



picture(s) of the day:


this is the gnome my mom saw in the garbage put out for the garbage men of a random person living on my street, and at 7 in the morning on her way to work decided to ring the doorbell of to ask if she could please take the gnome. they let her. it now lives in my backyard waiting for the opportune time to kill me. most likely while i sleep.



The Rainbow. this picture does it no justice whatsoever. it was a complete rainbow and i couldn't fit it all in my camera view. so i took a video of it. on my computer i have a video of a rainbow. the most amazing rainbow i have ever seen.



SSA Dr. Spencer Reid. boy genius of the behavioral analysis unit at the FBI.  also the love of my life apart from matthew.
