The age of modern friendship

Technology has ruined friendships (or were you always an asshole?)

The false facade of relationships in social media is in stark contrast to actual relations between people.

You have liked my posts and comment on them regularly. 

Yet:

- you cannot carry on a polite conversation for three minutes in person

- you have not tried to organize a get together (since the last three times you bailed)

- the fact that we haven't seen each other for a while (a few years) doesn't actually matter. It's not very convenient for you to get together when we're in the same city

- it's so easy to cancel. It's so easy to bail. Flaking is the new norm. I'd be surprised if you showed up.

- having great (text) messaging banters and enjoying the same topics on the net doesn't mean that when we are together you get to 

TREAT OUR FRIENDSHIP LIKE A SECOND CLASS RELATIONSHIP 

I fully realize I'm not your first priority, but where I am concerned in your life, you should re-think strategy or I won't actually be in it for long.

2014. New ... something. Whatever. Don't be a fake. 

Black feathers and black beaks.

What better way to procrastinate than write on your blog?!
(Oh hi. it's been a while.)

For 2012 I have decided to indulge in my (relatively) new fascination: taxidermy.
accept it.
I will invest in a beautiful vintage raven - if I find one; keep your eyes out for one!
I partially blame Midnight in Paris for invoking such feelings in me. How ghastly! who would have thought your wedding could be so much more magical with a dead peacock as a centrepiece.

This will be the year of the black bird. All the loose ends will be connected.
the end.

now someone go write my proposal for me. yay!

Minuit à Paris

adored the movie. love the actors. got overtly excited every time new characters were introduced. can't wait to go there with Ana and walk in the rain. I also remembered why I'm not a fan of Picasso, but will pick up my Hemingway books tonight! 

The artist's job is not to succumb to despair, but to find an antidote. .... drink?

Rhinoceros! 

It's broken your wings, you forgot how to sing

Hey, you forgot one of your little fragrances on my thumb.

Tuesday evening; sushi, Stella, and re-reading Cohen. 

oh and a very meddlesome companion. 

you won't hurt me with your insolence anymore."Here's all my money, beautiful baby."
everything you do, you do for yourself. where you end up was chosen by you alone.

Guelph

Last weekend I went to visit Chyna Doll in her current home town. Ashamed that it took me so long to go, but I went! Fell sleep on the bus ride (after an open shift) and woke up just in time when we arrived in Guelph! I woke myself up with a loud snore, my body is in sync with my schedule. we walked through the University of Guelph for a bit and saw the beautiful spring trees - I wish it was May 12 months a year. we also encountered a strange brown animal with the body shape of a beaver but without a flat tale (ground hog?) he was amidst a field of dandelions and he was munching on the flowers like there was no tomorrow.
We passed the evening with a bottle of wine, ate the many many containers of snacks Chyna Doll had prepared, watched On Stranger Tides, and wished we were pirates. I had a Boston Cream after 3 years, and remembered why it has been three years! I want good donuts :( 


Guelph is filled with cute little second hand stores: clothing, antique furniture, books. You can have brunch/coffee at the Red Brick Cafe and just go from store to store.

we also discovered the snack isle at the Asian Supermarket while waiting for the bus back to Toronto. it was, amazing. I didn't have any change so Chyna Doll treated me a $.99 box of chocolate Pocky. Next time I'm taking $20.00 and a huge bag. If anything survives the bus ride, you may get a little treat from me next time.

it's good to be the baby of the family.

I got spoiled this year. I have the best sister - ever. I obvis don't deserve her, but I'm selfish so I'm going to keep her. thank you for everything! -the makeup, the cookies, the body wash, the food, the flowers!! 

I love you more than anything or anyone. 

-p.s. your fat cat just deposited a mouse outside the door.

ex oh.
