10:34 am	judge me I'm assuming people would think I'm spring-like, though I really love autumn. These colours make me want to barf. I think I need to re-take.

11:23 am	what is middle-age these days? I was called 'middle-aged' for the first time yesterday! Isn't that premature? For the record, I'm thirty... and I can't get a drink without ID most times. I haven't really recovered from my first 'ma'am' yet. Mind you it was from someone literally half my age who was hitting on me online... as in "My friends and I saw you on Gottingen Saturday and agreed you were the hottest middle-aged woman we'd ever seen", but wow! I told her she had a thing or two to learn. Current Mood: tickled Current Music: Just a Gigilo-Louis Prima (6 Comments |Comment on this)

9:55 am	I've had such a run of bad luck lately that writing here would probably come off as whiney or angry... you might get the impression that I'm a crabby complainer. Also, I'm keenly aware that sending any sort of info into cyberspace may come back to haunt me, or someone I care about, thanks to some strange and obsessive people. Still, expect me to gush feverently when something happy comes along. I read a quote Sunday that life is like licking honey off a thorn. I sure am getting some honey... a rare Pacific island kind of honey that wouldn't exist without an incredible selection of flowers and factors, but I'm afraid I'm unknowingly tearing at my tongue in the process, to the point that I might never taste again.

10:51 pm	I have had a whirlwind sort of week. Me & a girl I met (Krys) on Oct 13th have become painfully and happily inseperable. Someone said lesbians move ridiculously quickly, but I thought I was immune (not being quite a lesbian, and fairly happy single, thanks). Actually I think Krys would have thought herself fairly immune too. We're both thoroughly freaked out and know it's not going to happen long term (I think she can be an ass, she wants to be a ho), and have talked about making a pact not to see each other again, but we can't seem to even consider it for more than a moment. I think over the next week we might try weaning ourselves a bit (we've been together everyday since we've met), but carry on... it's definitely been fun. Suggestions welcome.

3:00 pm	setting the scene I just broke a mirror today. How many years of bad luck is that? I might have a girl's psycho ex girlfriend none-too happy with me, and I just want to know when the reign of terror will end :P j/k. I just hate scenes.

6:52 am	Caught in the Act My dad caught me looking at porn yesterday in just about the worst possible way. I feel 10 years old! I like that people feel they can walk into my place without knocking, but at least announce yourself by the time you're entering the living room! My roomate caught me later the same day, for the first time (we've lived together for almost 2 years), in full action. Though it was more my fault that time because I'm sure he made lots of noise coming in but the music was up much too loud. What are the chances?

9:34 pm	Naked Lady Drawings In my drawing class I went from 'well I'm not the *worst*' to star of the class. All it took was a change of subject! Who knew naked ladies would be my forte? *^_^* I almost feel guilty for having these drawings of the girl who modelled. They are so much her, I want to track her down & giving them to her, the rightful owner. My next real girlfriend or boyfriend I am going to draw naked early on... as to fall in love quicker. Why not?

2:37 pm	R.I.P. Serena Lee I just found out that Serena Lee M., from the bellydancing studio, has died. It's just really hard to believe. She must have been 85 or so, but she was one of the liveliest people I know. She led a very enriched life, with a big family, always with multiple suitors, always dancing, travelling, and having a good time, and intensely caring of everyone around her. My first impression of her was 'can you believe her?', then 'she's a little scary', then 'I can't believe she's telling me this. oh god, am I going to be like her at that age?', then 'wow. she is an incredible person, I'd be doing well to be anything like her'. She wore gold lame, leapard print or hot pink on any given day, sometimes all three. She seemed to always have multiple suitors, and didn't hesitate to tell me what she had done with them on the back lawn the other day. Her heavily made up face was old, but she had this body that rivaled most 1/3 he age, and she didn't mind showing it off. If she hadn't seen me at the studio for a few weeks, she would invariably call to make sure everything was OK, and ask if I needed money. She always wanted to come to Reflections with me and I never took her :( And she was *such* a Disco Sally. http://www.sohoblues.com/Studio54/previewpages/previewpage40.htm (Comment on this)

6:17 pm	It took me about 4 hours to eat a thin 9" pizza last night, while famished. I was just so busy... the drawing class I snuck the pizza into is challenging (since I don't draw much), so I really only snuck in about 1/2 of it then. I tore up to Park Lane to meet Greg & Quon for Film Fest films, sold out. I managed to get the last 2 pieces in while at having desserts with them at Opa. I think the waitress thought I was a bit odd, but I was sooo hungry. I seem to be having a similar problem of slow supper tonight. While waiting for it to finish cooking I've eaten, in almonds, about the amount of fat that would be found in about 72 steaks. Went to Reflections after for Smart Ass. Greg put my name in the hat as 'Saggie Tits', so now all in attendance that night know my elementary nickname (Tits rhymes with Pitts). It haunts me still! But it all worked out 'cause Dita said I had perky 'tennis ball tits' (which I think is good), and changed my name on the ballot to 'hot maggie'. I also won free cover for Saturday, and a drink. I miss 5 mins of fame, but since I automatically have Wednesdays to myself it's just easier. It's also free to get in, and you can win a fair bit of cash and stuff. To win my prizes I: -correctly spelled vacuum -knew how long Mickey Rourke & Kim Basinger spent in 'that movie' -defined larceny -something else... I could have won more if I had known: -how many cups of butter there are in a pound (I said three, it's two) -who Madonna portrayed in Evita (I blanked, to the aghast of many, it's Eva Parone (sp?)) Friday we're going to Baan Thai for Brad's bday, then back to his old place for a game of 'pin the pasties on the showgirl'. I bought a totally smoking new blindfold yesterday too. And some new Bondage Fairies. We're having a 'wide open' (furnitureless flat) party in Brad's new townhouse, and then Hitting the Attic for Miss Honey Dijon. Saturday is Reflections. Matt starts pottery this weekend. I had to come home early today as he was suspended from school at the tender age of seven. After meeting, talking, and meeting some more, setting a game plan then setting him to chores, to the library with him to read about manners and feelings, now I'm off to curriculum night with him in tow, and I'm physically and mentally exhausted. I also have to stay up tonight to do work I missed today. Current Mood: overwhelmed Current Music: sausages sizzling (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:22 pm	I don't know if Livejournal really works for me. There are way too many little things I feel I should mention that I did, and the rest are major things I probably shouldn't publicize! Current Mood: Rich Current Music: Lady Kier (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:42 pm	Camp Went camping this past weekend and had an excellent time. Not far, Chezzetcook. Great location where you can lay on a sandy beach, jump in the freezing ocean, and then jump in a warm lake 50m away, where it's possible to shampoo your hair and shave your legs (or your friend's). Matt was with me Friday night and Saturday, then stayed with his Dad Saturday night. The dynamic was a little weird, but lots of my favourite people were there. Besides me & Matt, there were my absolute favourite roommate Greg, his boyfriend Andrew, and the coupled couples Troy, Colleen, Dave, and Mel. They brought their one little girl, Bella. She was sweet. Swinging is funny! Might consider it if/when my next LTR happens. And I wish I could camp once or twice a month, year round. Andrew liked peeing in the fire (I didn't mind watching) and Greg enjoyed especially the freeing feeling of pooping in the woods. Rachael, who didn't make it to camping, had a similar feeling pooping in her Aunt's litter box. I can't imagine what her family thinks of her.... maybe they're all as crazy as she is. Now I need to fix bicycle flats for her & myself or I won't be able to get anywhere (I'm working at SN*L the rest of the week. Pay me you bastards!), and she might have an excuse not to ever use her bike again. Current Music: Telepopmusik-Let's Go Again --> TV on the Radio-Satellite (Comment on this)
9:12 am	Know what sucks? Having to get a cash advance on your credit card to pay a bill, when everyone and thier dog owes you money (over a month ago for all parties) and won't pay up. If I was paid 1/15 of what one company owes me, all of my bills would be up to date. I've spent all morning already trying to shake down the parties I won't mention here. Though I should mention who they are... look out! Pay up or I'll out you on livejournal! Not a cent to show for it, and I feel like a beggar might, to boot. Off I go to the bank... (Comment on this)

10:16 am	Bitter Sweet I'm taking drugs, and finally seem to be better (though my doctor warned me I have TMJ (jaw-problem) which can be pricey to treat of I ever want to do anything about it). My cat is healthy again too, after a week long stint in bed. My internet seems to be working consistently this morning for the first time in forever. I'm eating really good birthday cake for breakfast, and listening to a soon-to-be-listened-to-frequently-song a cute girl on the internet sent me (the power is on, http://www.chspower.org/elfpower/). I'm going to make some easy money today whenever I decide to get up and go. I'm camping this weekend. The weather is the finest of the year. All good things to be happy about, but I've got that nagging feeling day in and day out that a person giving up cigarettes would feel that's making me super-anxious. I don't need cigarettes though, I need to meet someone who I want to spend more than one afternoon with, and is hot and hot for me to boot. How hard should that be?

2:42 pm	The past week and a half has gone something like this: Stage 1: Super Productive Mounds of paperwork sorted and put into motion, problem areas of house tended to, pet environments in optimum condition, etc. But all work and no play doesn't do for long, which led me into the next stage... Stage 2: X-rated After a particularly productive afternoon, a group of friends stop by to bring me a tutu they bought me and hang out. Before they know what's happening I've got them bending over in succession, sometimes in tutu, while I demonstrate my newest spanking implement. Apparently the spanking party isn't enough to combat paperwork drudgery, as I promptly involve myself in a foursome the following weekend. Which leads me to... Stage 3: Illness Even the toys wore condoms during the weekend's escapades, but until I start kissing people on the mouth using a dental dam, even the cleanest of foursomes are going to get a little germy. I thought it was a cold, but now I'm thinking throat infection... it's been a week, so I think I'll visit the doctor soon. Something funny happened Saturday night though... I was feeling OK to go dancing, and it was so hot my temp. escalated and seemed to kill all germs temporarily. Now it's back and I haven't any energy to do much of anything. So much for being productive. --In other news, Greg (roomie) is back from his month in Europe, Andrew (I'm not calling him Neetolicious anymore) is going to be featured in Applied Arts magazine, and Matt is back from visiting relatives in Newfoundland, plus starts grade 2 this week. I'm feeling very happy for my boys. And Nat got his signs! Current Mood: horny Current Music: peaches (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:03 am	Lord of the Flies I've uploaded a video of how I keep Matt busy & useful during camping trips. He's on pest patrol. You'll have to bear seeing it through a cheesy hookup site, as it's the only place I have to upload video. It's really cute! And if you're nosey you get to sniff through personal details. http://www.casualkiss.com/members/miaignet/ click on 'more pictures', then 'play video' (Comment on this)

5:52 pm	Fucked Up/Interesting http://www.motiongraphiks.com/bird/finch.jpg http://www.motiongraphiks.com/bird/finch.jpg Notice how the right half(your left) of the bird has the bright red patches and black stripe pattern, while the left half is plain gray. It is because the birds right half is male and its left half is female....hence the distinct feather patterns. The bird also has a testicle on the right side and an ovary on the left. They performed surgery on the bird while it was still a developing embryo.....before the sex had been chemically set. It was a female bird, and they replaced the right hemisphere of the brain with a male embryos' right hemisphere.....hence the right half of the bird would get signals from the brain to develop as a male, and the left half to develop as a female. This suggests sex determination and development originates from chemical signals in the brain, not from the gonads as was previously thought. Current Music: Magnet & Cody Chestnutt (Comment on this)
