Swimsuits

A little while ago, I was talking to Lacey on Skype while I was looking at swimsuits online. I was just about to leave for California and I wanted to see if there was a new swimsuit I wanted. Lacey soon started helping me out looking at them too. We were looking at Aussiebums (which I want SO bad), and Calvins, and hundreds of others. Lacey and I can across a site that had interesting "swimsuits". The things they called swimsuits were more like lingerie for men. You mind as well wrap a shoelace around your balls and VOILA a swimsuit! RIDICULOUS! I've attached a pics of the "swimsuits" for your enjoyment. Try and picture someone wearing that next time you're at the beach or the public pool! haha. Needless to say...I didn't get a new swimsuit. haha.

B, WoW, CM and the SSS

I have a really good friend, who I always think of as more of a sister than a friend, but she has a problem.....she's a active member of the Social Suicide Society (SSS, appropriately named this back in high school). This "society" includes people who cannot be separated from their computer and video games on electronic devices, and as a result, isolate themselves leading to social suicide. Now, my great friend "B" is an amazing person....but she loves her some WoW (World of Warcraft). Loves it a little bit too much! EVERY time I talk to her she tells me she' on WoW talking to CM (her lover in San Diego). Even when B and I chat on Skype and she says she misses me, etc and I tell her let's Skype call then and she tells me every time that she can't cause she's talking to CM. UGH! Not even just B always on WoW talking to CM so she can't talk to anyone else in the world, but she also get a little.....focused? Obsessed maybe? lol. She has been known, to forget about me coming to visit and hang out with her for the day and not getting dressed by 3pm because she's playing WoW! And don't get me wrong, I'm all for the jammies till afternoon, but she told me to let her know when I was coming. I told her to be ready by noon cause I'd be coming sometime after that. And then just before I left to catch the bus from my apartment to hers I told her I was on my way (this was around 2) and yet when I get to her house, she was "distracted" playing WoW to get changed. Incase B and anyone else didn't know....addiction treatment centers have whole departments exclusively for WoW addiction!

Sacrifice Sleep

So I'm up this morning earlier than I want, on a day I can sleep in as late as I want - NOT IMPRESSED! Why is it that every time I want to sleep in and get lots of sleep, I wake up early and the days I plan to get to bed early I don't actually go to bed till super late? For example....last night I was planning to go to bed kinda early-ish since I've not been getting good sleep. I was in my room sitting on my bed ready for sleep and everything; the problem? I was on the phone with Lacey talking about everything. I talk to her for hours every single day; on skype for hours every day (usually multiple times), texting and on the phone. How do we ALWAYS have something to talk about? lol. Then I was on Facebook while on the phone with Lacey in bed, and was chatting to Angelique about cooking with semen (check out yesterday's blog post). Ange is just as crazy as I am and that makes me SUPER pumped to move with her to Australia next year! And on top of all these things I was doing instead of sleeping, I then was talking to Beavers on Skype. Since I hadn't talked to him in a long time I was really excited and wanted to talk lots and focus my attention on that convo, so I got off the phone and Facebook and was just on Skype chatting. It was SO GREAT to talk to Beavers again like we used to all the time (he's been crazy busy with school and we've barely talked over the past few weeks). In the end, I didn't end up going to bed finally till after 3:00 sometime. I guess, since people are really important to me, my friends talk a HUGE priority over sleep. I don't live near these amazing people and so I'll sacrafice anything for a moment to spend with them. My friends and family are BY FAR the most important thing to me and I'll have endless sleepless nights if with them I can talk, see, chat, hangout with, etc. Although, this still doesn't answer why I can't sleep in....stupid body! lol

Favourite Balcony TIme of Day

I LOVE sitting out on my balcony! Last summer when I was staying in Ottawa for the summer (alone for much of it), I decided to wrap Christmas lights around it so that even at night I could sit out there and chill, or drink with friends and still be able to see each other but more importantly our drinks. For the first month of the summer I didn't have a job so I pretty much spent my days as a "housewife". I would wake up, shower, eat breakfast and have my morning tea (I don't drink coffee, it makes me feel all weird) on the balcony, then I would open a bottle of wine and clean the apartment while drinking (this "drinking" will be a trend, you'll see); when the place was clean I'd grab my book and sit on the balcony with my glass of wine reading till I'd inevitably get tipsy and need to stop reading cause I'd start getting a headache and the words would move. I'd then watch tv or just chill, till my friends were done working for the day and I could hang out with them, or my partner at the time would invite me to some event or fancy dinner like one of The Real Housewives of Ottawa. I still use the balcony a lot, WAY more than any of my roommates, but I don't use it quite the same drunken way anymore (not that I don't drink, I just don't drink on the balcony anymore lol). I now drink my tea out there and will chill reading or talking on Skype with friends in other cities. But my favourite thing to do is people watch! I live on a one-way street that has a pretty steady flow of people and car traffic without being crazy busy. There's a half-way house three doors down and a children's daycare across the street. And as creepy as it sounds...my favourite time of the day on the balcony is around 5:00pm when the sun's still out and it's still nice; I'm usually on Skype of Facebook chatting, but my main distraction is the parents picking their kids up from daycare. I play the game "guess which kid belongs to that parent" and I must say I'm not too bad at it! hahaha. I know, I know, this all sounds uber creepy. But it's so entertaining! Not only is it prime people watching time, and I can entertain myself with stupid games, but it's also the time when the noisy, bratty kids leave my street and I don't have to hear them screaming and playing anymore.....till tomorrow when they'll wake my up in the morning regardless if the windows and doors are closed or not. I love 5:00pm balcony time, cause it's my creepy, fun way of saying bye to the ankle-snappers who cut short my sleeps too often. Oh, how I'm going to miss this balcony time when I move.....although I imagine it'll be nice to not be woken up by banshee screams in the morning.
