pms = pain + madness + suffering

this monthly visitor is really unwelcome. it drains me of all my energy.

in addition to physical discomfort - my emotions are all out of whack.

the worst part is when men just shirk it off as some blah occurance. well if they ever could experience it - even for just one day, the world would change.

i wish tomorrow i could just call in sick and lie in bed and mope.

boohoo.

******************************************

i changed my template for this blog again. i just got bored of the other one.

mt. tremblant

so you normally wouldn't think that an oil and gas company xmas event could be fun. well perhaps in the rest of the country that may be true, but Quebecers are NUTS.

never in my life have i received la bise so many times. never have i danced so hard. and then danced some more. i love my people. AH OUAIS!

*******************************************

so i'm dancing up a storm at the local mt. tremblant establishment and some guy keeps hovering.

He tries to talk to me - I turn away. He tries to move in - I move away. Finally after an eternity of this stupid game, he goes "je voulais juste te poser une question - pourquoi tu ne souris pas?"

boytime

ring ring!

p: hey m, it's me - my friends are going out now. wanna come and join us?
m: well not really cause i have to leave town tomorrow so i gotta pack...

real excuse: WHAT ARE YOU NUTS??!?! give a girl a break!!! i just got home, put my hair in a pony tail and got in my PJs. i can't go out now - i look like crap!

I mean seriously - what is wrong with boys. Do they live on another planet? I'm all for the impulsive-fly-by-the-seat of my pants kinda thing. But I am also all for the "NOT looking like a monsterish freak" thing too.

another consideration for my top 5 female hottie list.

(*#$&@^($*&^

I have a sleeping disorder. It takes me an incredible amount of time to sleep and stay asleep. I am on the tail end of a month's worth of insomnia.

Thank you to the considerate person who called tonite 10 minutes ago. Not only did I have the pleasure of hearing your plight thorugh the wall - I also now seem like an unreasonable person for being annoyed that I can't fall back asleep.

I don't care what your problem is - you've now ruined my day. and my state of mind.

Yes, hard to believe - I actually wake up before 1pm. I have to be at the office by 7h15am. but of course, i am unreasonable for not being more understanding.

really living.

"take a risk. if it fails, it is the risk that fails and NOT the person. otherwise, it isn't really living."

thank you mom for your wisdom.

sisters - that's hot!

...before going out in T.O. earlier this fall

b, where are you? haven't seen you in over 4 days. funny cause we live together and even sleep in the same room. (i said room! - NOT bed you DIRTY BOYS!!)

I work; wake up at 6am; sleep at 12am

You study; wake up at 10am??; sleep at 3am

different lives - different beat - same smile.

i think it's grand that we now live in the same city.

To clarify...

Sleepy lizard is my brother. sheesh.

Look at this hot guy.



i love him to bits. look - he even managed to make me SMILE...go figure.

to all those i've lost contact with - but still continue to spy on me via blogger. this is NOT my kid.

WHO IS HE?

....he is SLEEPY LIZARD!!!

Mean Gurl

Sometimes I just feel like a mean gurl. I just say whatever I am thinking and give no regard to other people's feelings. A pretty great flaw on my part - the inability to self-censor.

Gotta remind myself to "save draft" more often.

"Mon non est Quebec"

This slogan won Trudeau the 1980 referendum. The message was that you were a true Quebecois by voting no to separation. Some trivia for those who were not propaganda-dized with Quebec History in Grade 10.

Sometimes I think it is the most sadistic love/hate relationship between la belle province and me. No matter how much it kicks my butt, I can't stop loving it.

I can be so posessive over it as well. Like a jealous lover, I cringe everytime I listen to outsiders criticize.

Weekend report.

Went to a movie with p-funk. Saw Maggie Cheung, in Clean. We joked that the movie was made for Montreal CBCs because we can follow the English/French/Cantonese script without sub-titles.

Went dancing with my sister at an old Italian/Arab spot...then Boustan's!

Saturday: went to coffee with the one and only, r. Later, met up with other singletons at the latest scotch-joint.

Sunday: church, brunch, walking around ste-cat's.

If it were not for my fave ladies back in the T-dot, I wouldn't miss it one bit.
