Text Of The Day

This award goes to Tari Wilson for sending me the most random text of the day. It reads: 

"Peter Mansbridge totally has a crush on Claire the weather girls :)"

Peter Mansbridge...you filthy dog.

RAINER MARIA RILKE IS MY NEW LOVE. 

This probably should have happened a LONG time ago.

Long Hair, Horns, Boats...Yeah

I am so into Vikings right now. 

When I think about Vikings, I literally have to stop what I'm doing because I get so distracted by my thoughts about them. I'm so enamored by them. It's unreal. (Like, I'm not actually joking)

I'm honestly not surprised that I'm in love with Vikings. They have long hair, wear sweet hats with horns on them, and have totally awesome boats. They are fierce and know how to get shit done. They also love nature and grass, since they're all about Greenland.

A new goal I have is to now meet a Viking. A friend of mine has a Norse background, so I practically have met one. Now I know why I was so attracted to having a friendship with him. HE'S A VIKING. Fine, he's not quite a Viking, since he doesn't have a sweet boat or even long hair...but you know, his uncle was like, Leif Ericcson or something. It counts.

So yeah, if you see a Viking somewhere, please tell me immediately and I will run to you, as you stall the Viking so that I can meet him. Thanks!

It Took Awhile...

Us future Social Workers at Lot 332 for Chanel's birthday...

Why is it that my picture is always being snapped at clubs when I'm out with my Social Work crew?

Fierce

One day, I hope to be able to do this out of the confines of Motown.

Leaders Are Real People Too

So I just emailed my City Councillor about the ridiculousness of the East Mountain Pan-Am Stadium site, and he emailed me back quick! He said that he had been answering a lot of these emails and asked if he could cut and paste some answers he's given other people, and would love to hear my comments afterwards. I of course said that he could do that, and that it was no problem. Then emailed me back to thank me for my "courtesy" and said that it was his bedtime, and called himself "Bonzo". I kind of feel like I've just shattered some glass ceiling...or become best friends with an older upper-middle class white man who is an apparent leader in the city. Or...maybe that's just how Hamilton people role. Probably the latter.

Rage

I've been very angry lately, for a variety of reasons. I thought I'd name some just to vent a little. 

• I hate when I miss the fucking bus and have to wait for the next one - which happens to be late -  meaning I have to wait even longer.
• I hate it when people are ignorant and closed-minded. I will fight with you. Don't piss me off.
• I hate when there isn't fucking cell reception everywhere I go.
• I hate it when random people start following me on Twitter, even though they have 0 tweets and are following 532 other people - what the fuck? 
• I hate doing school and placement at the same time.
• I hate taking buses and cabs everywhere.  I'm so over other people being in charge of my transportation. 
• I fucking hate it when cab drivers don't drive the route you want them to, AND go below the speed limit. What the fuck? 
• I hate it when you call people for information and you leave a message, but they don't get back to you.
• I hate it when bus drivers decide to go 7km/hour up the Mountain.
• I hate it that I can't find a fucking sarong anywhere.
• I hate the bank. 

There are many more things that have been making me engorged with rage lately, but I thought I'd let those off my chest.
