August 2011
My room feels like… like it’s been dirtied, in some way, now that I know the daddy long legs have clearly been in here for a while.
They could’ve crawled over me in my sleep and that is for some reason terrifying. I’m not scared of daddy long legs, they’re the only arachnids I’ don’t get iffy around, but they’re HUGE and they’re in my room...
Fuck. Fuckity. Fucker. Fuck.
There are three fucking huge daddy long legs in my room. They don’t usually scare me.
Right now I feel like everything is wrong in my body and my skin is wrong and I’m wrong and I feel crawling on my limbs and Fynn’s computer isn’t on and fuck I am terrified right now and I want it all to just stop.
Fuck.
nnnh.
That… was terrifying.
Fuck.
I need to have control of my arms, and my brain for a bit, so pardon me while I type randomly into Tumblr.
Fuck.
Fingers, I didn’t not tell you to type fucking, I told you to type fuck. Fuckity fuckity fuck.
Fuck.
Okay. A little better now. Good.
I’m thinking about writing and experiential essay on the Barista as Bartender, comparing the advice-giving and problem-solving role of the two careers in their own times. As a six-year Barista, I feel like I might have something to say on the subject.
Is that something anyone would be interested in reading, should I write it?

That makes me feel much better about myself, I gotta say. Hearts for you!
Every now and again, I start to think about changing my body.
I mean, for the most part it’s a fairly comfortable body - a bit squishy, and it’s got it’s quirks, but I’m used to them by now. It’s just…
It’s got bits I don’t like. And it hasn’t got bits I would like. But some of the bits I have got, I like having. If that makes any sense.

Today’s meals consisted of a double cheeseburger at McD’s, some fries, crisps and… a lot of ginger ale.

I do not understand your colouring choices, but they are quality.
I do not understand them either.
To be completely honest, my housemates are smoking pot in the backyard and I had my window open.
I just like light blue, okay? ;3;

tiny-puppy-teeth asked: TWO MINUTES LEFT! Draw me a happy person with a kitty.
Alright!
Anyone who puts something in my ask or whatever gets a drawing.
But only for the next twenty minutes.
(I also can’t guarantee it’ll be any good.)

This is why we need to establish a specific code, to identify ourselves to each other.
I vote for “Friend of Civet.” It makes sense to us without being obvious to anyone else~

There is a fairly regular thumping sound coming from my housemate’s room. Her boyfriend’s gone home, and she gets up early, so I can’t for the life of me figure out what it is.
My boob is vibrating.

I don’t even want it! Why is it vibrating! Auuuughhhh.
Om nom nom fishie crackers, raspberry white tea ginger ale and crisps. Om nom nom.

Question time!
Should I go down to the corner to buy something that’s probably bad for me, or should I just poach my housemates’ food?
Considerations:
I’ll only be living with them for another two or three weeks. I don’t mind destroying our relationship.
They might not have any food either because
They’re high. They’re always high.
We have no dishes.

I was just freaking out about my external hard drive having gone missing, taking with it every last one of my arts files, as well as all the work that I’ve ever done for university or college.
I was digging through my bag, freaking out, because I have a commission here that needs work, and I thought I’d left it at school. I could imagine the spot, I just knew I’d left it...
Tonight’s dinner was canned soup done in the microwave in a measuring cup, eaten with a big ol’ mixing spoon.
(Housemate A, being mad at Housemate B and B’s Boyfriend, has packed all of his stuff ahead of time - which includes all the dishes and all the utensils. Yep.)
If I don’t eat for the next three days I think I can manage to make it until I have a bit more money…
Problem is, I’m starving… *sighs*
Jack Layton's Letter to Canadians

Jack Layton’s Letter: Dear Friends, Tens of thousands of Canadians have written to me in recent weeks to wish me well. I want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughtful, inspiring and often beautiful notes, cards and gifts. Your spirit and love have lit up my home, my spirit, and my determination. Unfortunately my treatment has not worked out as I...
On a much more trivial note than my last several posts, I hate taking the last bite of something I am enjoying because I know that as soon as I take a drink, I won’t be able to taste whatever it was anymore.

Goodbye, Mr. Layton. And thank you.

I started this tumblr within an hour of the election results being announced. God, that seems so long ago now. I wanted to find some way, any way of dealing with the shock I felt at both Harper getting his majority and the amazing amazing news that the NDP were now the Official Opposition. And it worked. Layton has been, was a rallying point for so many people. He shone out...
Welp. I need to retake a class in order to get my degree. I was half a grade off of being able to declare my major.
This just ruined my good mood. *sighs*
I think this is the earliest I’ve ever planned out courses - I haven’t even started Fall2011, and I’m already planning Spring2012. Ugh. When did I become such a keener? Bleeghghh.
For the record, I’m definitely taking LING301W - Linguistic Argumentation and LING324 - Semantics. Just trying to figure out if I should also take LING322 - Syntax, or take something else,...
Okay, this is all pretty standard for a second year BA student. Except for line 5:
Overall Requirement Not Satisfied -
1. Minimum 120 units (LN 10) Requirement Not Satisfied - Units (required/actual/needed): 120.00/85.00/35.00
2. Minimum 60 units taken at SFU (LN 20) Requirement Not Satisfied - Units (required/actual/needed): 60.00/30.00/30.00
3. Minimum 45 Upper Division units (LN 30)...
Right, so. It looks like it’s knuckling down time. Starting this semester I have to pull myself from about a 2.5 to a 3.4. (Or at least a BA with Honours. I’m going to talk to the academic advisers about that tomorrow.) (Also, that is a stupid way to spell that word. It should have an o.)

The only way this could be better was if Goose was sitting at the other end of the couch.
I’ve… just sort of realised that I don’t know what I do with the internet when I don’t have my Goose to talk to. I mean, when I’m talking to him I get constantly distracted by this bit of internet or that, but as soon as I’m not talking to him, it’s like “what do I do with this thing?”

I just stayed up until three am finishing a commission, after my computer crashed at the ninety-percent-done stage at half past midnight.
I’m only getting paid five bucks for this.
There is something wrong with my priorities.

I just need to say something about this to someone, because I’m terrified that if I say anything about it out in the physical world, someone will tell me I’m faking, that I want attention, or whatever.
