Stagnation

This strike is really getting in the way of good blogging. Mostly because I just don't have anything to talk about anymore.

Saw Bond Friday. Was brilliant. Love it. Fantastic.

Was a bit overshadowed by the problems I've been having with Peter though. It's a sordid tale of mistakes, drugs, alcoholism, and possibly prostitutes. Oy. I think everything is okay now though. Maybe. 

I worked this weekend. I realized that I love the Caledon East store on the 9-3 shift. Because yesterday I worked 12-7 at the Bolton store and it was the Shift of Death. I wanted to fucking kill myself. But of course, I didn't.

Who tied my hands to the wheel?

Wow. I haven't blogged in ages. I always comment on this lately haha... well... it's not that I've been busy. Just distracted.

The last week's been a bit of a whirlwind. Let's do it quickly, shall we?

LAST WEEK

Monday

• Greek class cancelled
• hung out in the Student Centre with Natalia and Viki
• sat in on their HIST 2100 lecture 
• stalked Kyle but still didn't talk to him
• spent hours "studying"/ goofing off with Natalia and Mike
• went to write myth midterm, only to have someone pull the fire alarm, resulting in its disbandment; this made me UBER pissed because it was easy as fuck and I would have gotten at least 90%
• bought a pomegranate bubble tea to compensate for shitty quality of life

Tuesday

• after getting 5 or so hours of sleep, randomly started to pass out in history lecture
• therefore, had to chug down a large coffee from Timmie's (which I managed to buy at Central Square because it was miraculously free of an epic line) just to stay alive
• got some work done; what!
• went to a great history tutorial; we (mostly Rachel and I) made up a movie about the life of Cornelia McDonald which was highly dramatic and starred Reese Witherspoon, Sean Connery, and Shia LaBoeuf

Wednesday

• didn't go to the rally downtown
• had a good tutorial to which Dio showed up because now he is in it
• had a short conversation with Dio
• went to the penultimate meeting of our T2U discussion group and loved Barry and Megan a lot
• went to myth lecture and Tordoff was hilarious (Aphrodite has a magic bra) 
• spent too long at a Midas because of mom's stupid van

Thursday

• Day 1 of strike (which I support, so everyone fuck off please)
• wasted a lot of time doing nothing
• talked to Peter for two hours

Friday

• more strike
• got some actual work done
• started reading Helen of Troy by Margaret George; I missed reading for leisure
• had a lonely and pathetic Friday night, as usual

Somewhere in between I made a new friend named Ksenia via Facebook who goes to York and is my music twin.

Saturday and Sunday = work. Not so bad. Sunday I opened the store by myself and all went well. I met a girl named Amanda who is friends with Alicia and she was very nice. It was a good time... ish. 

Yesterday I went downtown with Anna. Highlights: going the wrong way, vibrators, terrifying big black things, gingers, random CDs, lemon sugar crepes, guy asking for a toonie, Doritos, ticklish noses, video of Tordoff. 

Today I was alone. Did some work. Felt sorry for myself. Did chores. More self pity. Some gay porn courtesy of Pan. Fun times? 

I don't even know what to say. I wish I was happy but I am not. 

What is good though is that I am caught up on Queer as Folk. And Brian and Justin are back together and the end of episode of 308 is very beautiful and they make me very happy. But in the last one I watched (309), Ted is being depressed and an alcoholic and I think even though I am kind of Brian sometimes, I am really Ted. 

Few and Far Between

I REALLY was bad in terms of blogging this week. Haha.

Been madly busy though. I don't even remember the past week... just a lot of Latin and Greek and HOMEWORK in general.

Ummm... things of note? Got back my Apollo essay. B+. Decent enough, one of the highest in my tutorial. Mike got an A but he didn't have a prof marking it instead of a TA. 

Had a great time stalking Kyle while camped out in Vanier with Sarah. She is great.

Spent my Halloween doing homework. Classy.

Worked yesterday. It wasn't so bad, the guy at the Caledon East restaurant who is training me is very nice and speaks good English. Working again in forty-five minutes. Don't want to. I'm exhausted.

Went out downtown for Anna's birthday last night with Lewin and Edie (and of course Anna). I met the Chris fellow. He is very nice and didn't think I was weird for shaking his hand upon introduction. At least I don't think he thinks I was weird. Oh well. We went all over town doing strange things that we made up for Anna to do on The List. Had a fun time in Condom Shack.

Is it really weird that going to Condom Shack made me sad? Yes. 

Well really... it's only because I miss Peter (who went out drinking Halloween night while dressed as James Bond despite having only left the hospital Tuesday, with Xandros who was Emilio Largo and Patrizia who was hauntingly Vesper Lynd). A lot. 

It's just very not fair that my one chance at a normal relationship did not really work out at all.
