so i didn’t make it onto the argos cheerleading team, but i did make it to finals and if i hadn’t got such a god-awful question, i might’ve made the team. it was still great to go that far and if i’m in the country next year with time to spare, i may try for it again. i did manage to catch a glimpse of myself dancing in the video that the toronto sun had up and i didn’t look like a retard, so i guess that’s a plus. on the day, my prediction was that kaitlyn would make it and i wouldn’t; damn my psychic tendencies. i’m happy that one of us made it though. if i had made it, i don’t know how committed i really would’ve been. since kaitlyn made it, i guess it would’ve been fine ’cause we’d do it together, but other than that it’s pretty time consuming. i also wish i had gotten a chance to see some of the performances before i had gone, that would’ve helped too. oh well. things to keep in mind for next year. still, i never expected to even make it past round one, so i’m proud of how far i got.

party’s on saturday. bring whatever you think will be fun (games, video games, movies, music etc.) and we’ll all have a great drunken time.

i got back from the vermont trip on sunday, had one day of rest away from the same people in which i slept and played guitar hero, then met up with all of them again for new year’s eve. much drunkenness and joy was had. we even went skating. it was quite fun. then i made out with minh and lots of pictures were taken. crazy drunk people.

i’m really glad that i decided to go on that trip last minute. it turned out to be one of the best things all year. i need to be with those people more often. it’s always a good time.

now it’s a new year and i need to get a job. boo. i’m in holiday/vacation mode. let’s be honest, i’m always in that mode. however, i’m certain that after i pay for the trip i will be broke again. i did get some awesome snowpants and boots out of it, so i guess it’s worth it. and of course the memories.

now i’m off to play guitar hero again because i’m super cool like that. it’s how i roll.

oh yeah, happy new year and holidays and all that!

same deal as the first one. (more…)

this is super long, so i’m providing it after a cut. i wrote it for a message board and i’m copying it from there because it took me three hours to write. i haven’t edited it for content or cohesion, so keep that in mind. i was also extremely lax with the grammar, especially by the end. here’s my picture. my explanation of why i look stupid is in there somewhere. here’s the other picture that’s so much better. thanks mel! (more…)

i don’t even know where to begin. it was so good that it was almost anticlimactic in the way that they were exactly how they seem to be, so i got exactly what i was expecting. they lived up to my expectations so it only makes my fantasies and dreams a reality instead of dashing them to pieces. i only wish i had talked to b more and more directly like i did with everyone else. he was busy with old friends, so i didn’t want to bother him much. sitting next to him and listening to him right there was more than enough. oh yeah, and the stroking of my arm and the perfect hair. i shared a cigarette with ben. he got me a glass of wine too. then i had a beer with mike and he showed me their tour bus. they had plum pie on the counter.

i’ll write more later. i didn’t take any pictures because i didn’t want to be all ‘take a picture with me’. plus we were told not to take pictures and even though i know i could’ve, i still didn’t want to be all fan-ish.

i’m just glad i had really good conversations with interesting, intelligent people. it was almost like being with old friends. i felt that accepted and appreciated. i felt happier and more acceptance with a bunch of strangers (celebrities at that) than i do any one else, excluding family and one or two people. oh memories.

best night of my life . . . until the next time.

i got the internship. my only concern is that it takes about two hours to get there by public transportation. even if i could drive, i don’t have a car that i could use to go all that way. i’m still thrilled that i got it though.

i’m also the permanent bartender at yuk yuk’s now. it’s more work than i thought. i was kind of spoiled at sin city because i didn’t have to do any of the prep work or back room inventory. now i do, so i have to make that adjustment. i make more per hour than club bartenders, but i get far fewer tips. i say this like i’ve worked here longer than two nights. my first night was stressful. i didn’t know i was going to be actually working not just shadowing and it was unbelievably busy. we’ll see how things go from now on.

i was going to have my birthday party this friday and i guess i still could, but i wouldn’t be at the club until 1 am because i have to work. my plan was to order a keg and reserve a room etc. but it seems excessive if i can’t even enjoy it in its entirety. meh, maybe later in the summer just for kicks.
