i think you may have a case of the "hip-hops".

oh my what a night.

so, clearly i did NOT get sloppy drunk, but nonetheless it was QUITE fun.

ie- watching amanda deal with her ex. wow.

well in any case. it was good times with good music.

AND me getting hit on (as usual) by people i have no interest in.

in any case, only reason i'm sharing/posting is to let you know the wonderful fantastic quotes of the night...

skullet (n.): a mullet equivalent; a shaven head with bangs and back-of-the-head hair; similar to the middle age bowl.

dance rape (v.): unwelcomed dancing; typically takes place from behind

the "hip-hops" (n.): a condition in which the sufferer has Justin Timberlake songs stuck within their head; commonly mistaken for the hiccups.

fav quote?

"steph, it seems as if you MAY have a case of the 'hip-hops'."

messy night #1 is on tap..

so... we're going to phil's tonight. me and amanda. phil's always gets messy... ALWAYS. so in honour of my first hardcore messy-drunk night of the new year, this is for y'all.



best quote?
brian: "you're drunk."
stewie: "you're sexy."

L, worrrrrrd.

sooo... this was too good to NOT post. season one was clearly the best, funniest, least depressing season... and i miss the writing the way it was :( sooo many good one-liners

here's high hopes for season 4!
(why do i feel like i'll be disappointed?? lol)

ps- kill BETTY.

random s1 quote?
"liquor in the front, poker in the rear." - shane
AND
"hey, sorry you got lenore'd." - alice

sickness and the l word. not so unrelated.

so. i'm sick, and yeah it's shitty and all, but the bright side? i most definately skipped my classes and downloaded last night's season 4 premiere of the L Word (being in canada, we won't get television rights to it until this fall -- regardless of the fact it's fucking SHOT here... stupid fucking showtime.) anyway, the ep's titled "Legend in the Making". if the legend they're trying to make is how much they can fuck up a show that started out so well, then it's definately working.

anyway. so yes, i've definately got a few thoughts on what all went down...

let's break it down by character, shall we?
shane- she better treat that kid right or she can crawl right back into the ocean
alice- cute and kind as always :) love her
helena- fucking gorgeous, should be interesting to see her broke this season
ALICE AND HELENA? fuck yeah, living together. they're so cute.
bette- well at least she had the sense to come back
tina- i'm not even touching that shit
straight dude tina's dating- i know his name's henry, but he can die
jenny- i love her, always have
claude- i live in canada and i love me some french girls
marina- is it me, or has she aged a LOT???
JENNY/CLAUDE/MARINA? HOT. why is jenny wearing such a fugly dress??? WHY??max- he should drive off a cliff with henry boy
kit- bad mamajama.. emphasis on the "ma-ma" part of that
angus- meh. whatever. get a shave, hippy.

then there's:
dana/carmen/lara: i'll miss them all. especially my soup chef. all i'll really miss from last season is the alice/lara incestuous shared-reeling-emotions type affair. i loved it. OH and uta. my god. she realllly needs to come back. she is my ultimate sexy.


now i've read most of the spoilers and i know all the new characters (as anyone would if they've seen the promo photos) but nontheless here are my IDEAL (not predicted) hookups:

alice/helena: i've wanted to see them together since the beginning of last season when helena was taking care of alice during her addiction.

jenny/uta: as long as it's not the moira/max special, i have no qualms whatsoever about who my girl hooks up with, and i like her with claude... but jenny's a self-mutilator and uta's a vampire... match made in heaven, anyone? and it would be HOT. H-O-T, HOT.
hell, how about jenny/claude/uta? mmm. fuck yeah.

bette/tina: i know i know, and i def have a huge hate on for tina too (see below pairing), but think about the little girl. besides, these two were made for one another.

tina/me: ya, i'd hit it. with a sledgehammer. til it stopped being straight.

shane/cherie: i don't think shane can redeem herself in my eyes at this point... (well, maybe once kristianna shows up.. mmm.) so i think after all that's happened, ms. jaffe/peroni can have her "little freak".

and who am i looking forward to meeting the most?

papi!!!!! she's bringing sexy back.

that's about all i've got. but as a side note, i gotta say, i love all the canadian actresses that get a shot on this show. it's wicked. i should get to van city so i can break onto the set and.... um. well, pick up some canadian actresses... yeah

fav quote from the ep?
(banging chair) "ARSON! ARSON!"- bette. oh i still love her too.

"hainer, you have balls of steel."

let's ignore the fact the night started out with two [i'd say] 16-17 year old girls who were hammered (or possibly on e) busting into the lounge and asking if we'd make out with them...

on to the important things. lol

EMILY FUCKING HAINES MAN. if i wasn't in love before, i am now. this is the girl i'm gonna marry if ever there were one. fuck. if you've heard metric but not emily's solo stuff, you're so missing out.

the stripped down, straining vocals in combination with a grand piano, string quartet, trumpet, drummer, bassist, and synth. holy shit. it was like a religious experience. i'm so glad it was at the music hall (seated), which has AMAZING acoustics. nothing else would've done the set (or emily) justice. there were tears man, it was just so beautiful.

unfortunately i missed the october show, too slow on gettin tickets -- and thus feeling like a dumbass afterwards. but in any case, i'm not that mad i missed 'see vous play' -- i can't imagine the acoustics in kool haus being all that flattering. i've seen a few vids, and i'm just so glad i made it to the concert hall. man.

"reading in bed" and "nothing and nowhere". i fear i'll never be able to listen to the album versions of these songs ever again. it'll never be the same! lol.

i know i'm bordering on creepy-obsessive here, but fuck man. i'm in love haha.

here's a vid someone shot at the show (January 6, 2007. The Danforth Music Hall. Toronto) of "maid needs a maid", accompanied by some adorable banter with the audience :)

fav em lyric?
"your mouth should be working for me, for free"

fam candid em quote?
"bros before hos yo"

fav quote between me and my friends?
amanda: "yeah, i'd take her home."
me: "man, i'd take her right here."
amanda: "on the sidewalk?"
me: "yeah, i'd even take her in that sketchy alley. it's emily man."

ps- unfortunately the dream sequence never took form :(
maybe next time..

dreams, and pretty things.

so... i have random dreams. i never remember them. for me to remember a dream there has to be something out of the ordinary or exceptionally significant.
(see: last night's dream.)

disclaimer: didn't listen to emily haines at ALL yesterday, and haven't watched SoN since the finale... so whoa. mind you the emily concert is on saturday, so maybe it's an omen.... mmm...

THE DREAM

so we're at the concert, me and my friends. we're front row (of course) getting steamrolled into the gates. emily's on stage doing her thing (which seems, as always, to hypnotize EVERY girl in the building). and then it happens... eye contact. my eyes to hers, hers to mine. the set continues and of course i'm completely transfixed. she closes out with "doctor blind", then hands me a note before she exits.

what i remember (and possibly the dream itself) skips ahead here.

all of a sudden we're in a bar.. not just any bar, but a bar i actually went to with my cousin when i was in finland. random. anyway, emily buys 71 (yes, exactly 71) shots of something i've never heard of (i'm thinking my mind made it up), and we get drunk with her.

then for some reason gabby christian (a.k.a. spencer from SoN) is there, at the afterparty, and we seem to hit it off. (should mention right here that i think this is odd cuz i think i usually go after more of an ashley.) we're dancing and whatever...

i lose some time here too

and all i know is the fuzzy part before i wake up is me and gabby, her on my lap, and us kissin on the edge of a bed... not my bed, but it kinda looks like the bed in my friend's place. [end scene]

and this is where i woke up, full on like, "what the fuck was that?" don't get me wrong, it was good... just unexpected. and gabby christian? random. was it the wine? was it that i watched tipping the velvet last night? that could explain the whole performer making eye contact thing (although it lacked the rose). but gabrielle? oh well. she's a cutie so it's all good :)

and if i met gabby and emily on the same night i'd die... wow.

i hope this happens on saturday lol

parting note?
EMILY TOMORROW wOOt!!

bored on the bus... slash gushfest

(note: actually written this morning on the bus..)

so i’m on the greyhound again, headed back to another semester “abroad”. i suppose i miss toronto when i’m gone, but it just feels great to get away from the parents.. sometimes family is just too much to deal with.

yep, second semester of my fourth year commences today. can't say as i'm that excited about that either. i know the workload that's coming towards to me and as soon as i get back it's errands galore. ew. bright point? get to see the roomies. not to mention a gal by the name of EMILY HAINES is playing this friday -- sure to brighten up my week :) yum, emily. she's gotta be my #1 crush, like whoa.

so i included a picture of her for those who don't know her. she's the lead singer of metric and released her 'solo' album (with the soft skeleton -- a.k.a. whoever's available from broken social) "knives don't have your back" this past fall. mmm. if ever there were super fantastic mellow music made, it's emily man. i personally suggest "maid needs a maid".. or "doctor blind".. or "nothing and nowhere".. or the whole album.

(if you haven't seen the vid for "doctor blind" you can watch it and read a rather interesting essay deconstructing it here:

http://obtusity.blogspot.com/2006/12/all-lost-in-supermarket.html)

ok, so i may be a little biased (albeit obsessive) but i've loved her since day one. i've seen metric countless times... not to mention i've touched her (ya, ok, that sounds a little creepy). and although she's notorious for being extremely difficult and kind of a bitch... i'd let her treat me like shit anytime, then i'd smile and ask for more ;)

*drool*

i say "so" alot.. apparently all my paragraphs start with it... oh well

i had a dream about em a couple months back... don't quite remember the details (i usually don't remember dreams at all) but i know it had something to do with one of us being a vampire and 'sire'-ing the other or something like that...

hmm... come to think of it maybe that was just because i watched buffy and listened to em before bed.. oh well, i remember it being quite sexy, so maybe buffy and emily should be my evening ritual :D

anyway. to all those headed back to wonderful academia, here's to you.

raise a glass, grab some ass, and study some if time allows.

parting quote:

i wish i were your derivative so i could lie tangent to your curves

OH, and HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL
