teeee

Moving...

Whoa....It's been a strange little while here in O-town. I'm pretty much exhausted all the time due to working every night, giving people food and attending to their food needs. Ugh. I smell like food all the time now. I'm sure its suits some people, but what can I say, it's just not my thing? Today I watched some crazy and fucked up dudes kill some random innocent people at a college in downtown Montreal. Yup. Kinda got me really worried about moving there, but then again, this shit happens everywhere these days. I can almost clearly see the day it becomes super uncool to have not had a shooting in your school! Ugh. Jeebus. It used to just be stupid Americans, now its the stupid French Canadians, and that's not even easy to say. Say it-Stupid French Canadians! Ha.
I'm also experiencing pangs of not wanting to leave Ottawa-they are random pangs, small in nature, non-threatning of course, but they exist, and I've acknowledged them. It's just cos I've met some rad people here, yes you know who you are, and well, it's just a shame to not have the opportunity to explore my friendships...Oh well I guess huh? Maybe I can do that on weekends, come back and hang out with people? :( I'd like to say thank you to Kelly for being my only friend here when I arrived and helping me meet new people and for playing Cupid and finding bobby for me:) teee. And for just being a very radical lady and one who makes supper for her friends and lets them take up home on her futon. I also want to thank my new friend Alex for showing me the wonderful world of caturdays, vans, dreads, band dudes, babylon, Arnie impersonations, and for pretty much being my Ottawa tour guide. Also, he gives rad hugs, if his dreads don't get to you first! In other news, my sister and mark, her husband, the Newlyweds, just moved here and into our home 4 days ago. They, I think, will like it here a lot. But can you imagine the level of insanity at this house? Pffffff I bet you can't! Geeeeeeeeeeezus. Soon, I shall be free of it all! Muahhahaahhaha. Erm....
So here's what's going to happen:
Friday night I work my last shift at the Rose's Cafe. I better get rad tips! Saturday the 16th, I get driven down by my parents to Montreal with not a whole lot of stuff cos I don't need everything right now and well, there's no room for it all.
I am moving in with my boyfriend Bobby. Bobby and I don't know each other very well...But this is obviously a very good opportunity to get to explore that aspect. He's a rad dude and I'm excited about all this change I guess? Excited and scared. Yup. Obviously. Geeeeeez. And then I get one day off in between-RADNESS! And on Monday the 18th, ALSO MY BIRTHDAY, I begin my new job at the copy/print store. Yah. That's pretty much how it is going to go down. Hopefully it works well. I don't really wanna move anymore. Too much moving. I just want to settle...Maybe meet people I can be friends with for more than 4 months! Fuck.
So, till I write again, I bid you all Adieu.
Good night and Sweet dreams,
Come visit me as soon as it is humanly possible.
Mmmmmmmmwah!

Sk8ing???

I've been teaching myself how to skate. Yes, I said stake. I'm not bad, I can pretty much ride the board okay-ish.....so I decided, seeing as the best way to learn is practice, to skate to the bus stop, which is a 10 min walk normally, and then from the bus stop by work, to work. It went ok, both ways....I mean sure, I looked retarded, cant turn and stuff and cant go over cracks very well, but at least I was doing it!
In any case, I got off work at 10:45pm and then was skating and I fell 3 times on my way to the bus stop, AND at the bus stop trying to pivot-ughhhhhhhhhh! Whatever, I don't care about what they think! BUT I managed to get my first real skate injury-yup! Blood et all! There shall be a thigh bruise tomorrow morning too! woooooooo
yup! So working at the restaurant isn't so bad really....I made $40 in tips though! yay for CASH DOLLARZ.
I go to Montreal on the 30th! yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

That's about it!
Tomorrow, a day off! Could it be!?!?! Lunch, show and dancing! goot times indeed.

chow!

Dreams of Montreal

It's been a while, and I've come to the conclusion that Ottawa just ain't my cup of tea. Really. I think it's like Victoria, where people go to retire or live very boring lives....or maybe that's cos I'm being very pessimistic. Either way, I'm trying very hard to relocate to Montreal. I just absolutely love it there, just came back from a 2 day spur of the moment sort of trip. It's just got the greatest charm-even pizza tastes better there.
I've also recently found someone rather rad to hang out with in Montreal. tee hee. Let's see what comes of it. I'm just looking forward to leaving here and getting my shit back together again. Happy thoughts. If you haven't been to Montreal, you should go! I guarantee you'll find something to enjoy out there. Really. I like that drunk people there take up graffiting sidewalks with chalk. ha. I like that there are parks one has t walk through to get to most places. I like that people look good there. I like that you can eat greasy poutine there, and think you'll puke, but somehow don't. Yup. Tubular.

Otters + Ottawa = Otterwa?

So I'm here. Finally. I was thrown into working at the Bluesfest for my dad, serving people butter chicken and samosas, then coming home smelling like the food I'd served all day. Ugh. It was okay though, I mean it's money and the festival is finally over so yay!

I got to hang out with Kelly (finally!) and Greg had come up from Waterloo last night as well. We went to a Vegan BBQ and it was like a Tattoo Convention out there! Ha. In any case, I'm pretty sure I drank too much wine. But there were cute puppies around, and I really didn't care. So Ha! I also managed to get 2 numbers?? Weird cos I'm normally not the number getting kind...ha! EEEP?

I'm thinking of getting my tattoos on my feet soon too....maybe before August, before my sisters wedding....maybe. Also, I'm thinking of getting a kitty...maybe not until September but the thought is strong. Soon, I shall have my kitty and name it Lumpy Theodore Churchill I!!!! wooooooooo

In other news, I'm thinking of going to watch Season 1 of Arrested Development in a few minutes but can't decided between that or Season 1 of Futurama....hmmmmmm......
Tough decisions need to be made in order to maintain balance.
AD it is!

Miss you all.
Mwah!

ANKLE PAIN!

So I hurt my ankle.
A sprain they call it.
I have just taken pictures of some day 2 swelling-really doesn't compare to day 1 Golf ball swelling, but it'll do. I guess.
I'm trying to walk though, gets a bit better with every step, though still very painful. Silly silly me.

new hair

i coloured my hair darker again, and mum cut my bangs...so this warrants new pictures.
I also bought this rad comic book in Montreal-rad as in super lame but so bad that not buying it would have almost been a mortal sin!
It's called SHI: The Way of The Warrior!
woooooooooooooooooooo
yup.
yuuuuuuuuuuup.

More pictures thanks to Kiley G.

Here are a couple more pictures Kiley took of our Montreal trip. Thanks Kiley!
Me having what should ahve been an ice cappuccino, but clearly is just some watered down coffee with some foam....pffff! I thought the french were supposed to be the "all knowing" coffee people!! pfff
Me wearing a feathered headband infront of The Virgin MAry herself! eeeeep. She thinks its purty though.
Kiley and i eating ice cream with the raddest sprinkles ever! Go sucre!
The Ca and the love of her life-Taro.

Yup, thats about all the pics so far. Once CA develops hers, there shall be more. All in all a super fun trip/adventure!

mwah!

some pics of montreal

some more badly taken pics of us in montreal! yay for Kiley! my silly camera was behaving really badly, hence the bad pictures.
kiley with a frame, sitting next to a big samich.
celery juice! i got to witness its sweet goodness!
Me at this awesome building with colourful glass exterior.
Jean-Paul Riopelle park. Every hour fog rises from littel vents and fire appears in a circle around the sculpture in the water! wow!
Ca on train to Montreal.
Me at this humungous 3 story bar/food place open 24 hours.
Kiley and Ca at same place, opposite me...kiley is, at this point, happily drunk.
Ca on train again, sleeping in podular form.

The Ca and I

Some pictures from CA's visit.
yay.

blistering heat+bad webcam pics=love

So I wrote this blog and then hit spell check and it vanished! GARGHHHHH! That's why I hate Pc's! They just suck no matter what! In any case, it was reallllly warm outside and I got stuck downtown because the Toronto Transit System was on strike. Yah! I know! Insane. It worked out pretty good though because Jason and I went for a walk to the park! weeeeeeeeee!
It was so warm outside we both felt like we were going to die or pass out! Then Jason attempted to tan. After upsetting some ants and getting bitten, he returned to our bench from his "tanning spot". Bwahahah. Then we went and got a pint and felt a whole lot better. Aah! To live the life of a Pia. Squirrels were seen. Shoop Shoop Shoop. I'm still radiating heat I'd absorbed during the day! ugh.
The night before, we attended this weird Kickball game we thought would be real fun but ended up being a bunch of losers in costumes picking people to be on their teams! Yah, grown adults...or so they seemed. Sheesh! So we went and got a pitcher instead. I love how beer can remedy any situation. ha!
So that was my weekend. What'd you do?
hmm?

Mwah!

X3

So as predicted, X3 was pretty rad. I enjoyed muchly. Remember I dragged Jason along? Well, guess what he says right when the movie's done? Guess! "We're renting the first and second one tonight!". (He hadn't seen the other two) Yah. I guess I bring out the inner geek in people.
Geez. Poor Professor X. Sniffles.

Other than that, I've been a bit sick....still. I've decided that my tummy needs some major shaping up and shall do more crunches than normal. Ugh. Now tis time for some Lemon tea and maybe some ready-to-bake chocolate chip cookies. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Oh Vino! Swoon! Swoon!

Everyone, meet Jason. That's his best friend Vino, aka wine. Vino and I go way back as well. Maybe that's why all three of us get along so well. Ah Vino! Ma boisson de joie! It's funny how he's always around when no one else is, and how he's always there to provide comfort. My one true love.

Moving on swiftly, I appear to be a bit under the weather today. Sore throat and fever don't make for a very happy social Pia. I tried watching movies but there was nothing good to watch so I napped, well, snored, for about 3 hours. On the upside, my driving went really well today! Woooooot.

X-Men 3 opens tomorrow! Duuuuuuuuuude. Yeah, I know it may sound lame and all but come on! Kelsey Grammer as BEAST! Pfff. I don't care I'm going and I'm going alone if no one wants to see it! Well, actually, I'm kinda making Jason come with me....
He doesn't have to! I'm not forcing him...I love going to movies alone! Ask anyone.

I wonder if we won tonight? Did we? I was watching that "But can they Dance?" show because I love nothing better than to watch silly Americans either make fools of themselves or expose body parts on national television. yup. Those darn Americans do it to me every time!

I know, I'm dragging this one on far too long. Well goodnight then! We'll compare X-men notes tomorrow.

Mwah!

I'm a bit nervous but when you think about how some people can live here and not speak English and STILL become a citizen by passing this test, you don't get so worried anymore.

As far as everything else goes, umm lets see, Jason came over for supper yesterday. Mother created a grand offering of lentils, veggies and some dead meat things. But LENTILS! woot. Thanks mother! She also provided us with 2, yes 2 bottles of Wine. Noice. I had a Manhattan for the 3rd time ever! Was still as yummy as I remembered. Umm....Jason bought us Pink Montaintops tickets! yay, I bought an extra for the Ca, when she comes a'visitin. It got sunnier out today. I'm glad. I have my Road Test on June 2nd. Ugh! Mother let me drive to her friend's house the other night! WOOO! She also screamed a tone point, no, make that yelped, when she thought I got too close to the curb-funny as shite! ha!

So I guess stuffs gotten better! Oh! Jason showed me the world of Home Movies! I'd only seen a couple but dude, they're rad. I could easily see them becoming rather addictive. Yes. Rather.

Anyways, now comes the question that has ben bothering me all night....
Does this pencil make me look fat?

Warm night-time Huggles,
Miss Pia.

Avocado and Cucumber

We went for sushi last night. We being Jason and I. I had the Vegetarian kind, that consisted of avocado, cucumber and pickled raddish. yum! Jason had an assortment of four different kinds...one of which was eel. eeeeek!
Saki/Sake, was also involved. yumyumyum.

Now I don't want to hear another peep out of anyone about the Oilers for atleast a few hours. Geez! You guys are lame!

<3

Past. Passed.

It's the hardest thing, letting go.
I am however, pleased to say, I have accomplished doing so.
We talked tonight. There was no awkwardness on my part. No strange feelings. Nothing but genuine concern and good feelings of friendship and closeness.
I feel good about this. It was hard enough but very much needed for me to be alright with things. Stuff's starting to smell better, let's just say that!

So I guess Hope is back, in a much altered form, but back nonetheless.
And I couldn't be happier.

It's the best feeling, when the weight drops off your shoulders.
The few seconds it is in mid air. Weightless. Then the crash. It's gone.

I'm just glad to announce that my battered heart may, once again, breathe.

<3

The Missing Factor

I find myself missing everyone tonight. Myspace makes it worse because you keep looking at all the pictures on everyones profiles and remembering the fun and not so fun times. I really do miss my friends-everyone has flaws but they were and still are grand. Its just, when you're not around, you miss so much and then its not the same. Theres no continuation of the history, just old stories.

I guess one just has to make new ones right? Friends shouldn't forget. Good friends wouldn't for sure.

I even miss rob.

Anyways, things shall pick up. No ranty business here.

Goodnight and be safe.
<3

Me & I

The above picture is me on a day I decide to put an effort into looking cute....which happens to be every opportunity I get to go out....which doesn't happen to be often and yet I guess I'm not making an effort to do that either.
But alas! I do get to go out, and happened to visit my dear lady Kimmy last night, who's back in the T-dot and shaking things up. I found my way downtown, got onto the street car and just about died because I happened to sit next to one of the cutest boys I've seen in a while! Grrr....anyways, I even go to ask him for directions to Sneaky Dee's! yay.
So Kimmy introduced me to two of her lady friends, very nice indeed, and we drank a couple of beers. Good times.
The train ride back smelt like someone had taken a fresh poo nearby. Wonderful!



This picture, however, is me, right now. I am tired. I drove today. Still getting mixed up with Left and Right-yah I know, grown woman and all. Ha! I got to post Mark a "Surprise" today. Made it meself. I drove mum insane because I had an urge to drink some sweet bubble tea, but our quest was all in vain because even Asian people didn't know what the hell we were talking about-they kept pointing to various restaurants and smiling. Gah!

I checked up on hair schools today and have decided to do it. It'd be fun and who doesn't want a friend who can do your hair for little to no money? hmmmm? So I guess I start at Marvel in Ottawa in September. Yay! Well hopefully I can get a bank loan first!

But yes, just a little bit of an update seeing as it has been a while. I hope all of you are doing alright. Lauren, how's the almost-married life? CA, I'm sorry you're all alone-maybe tofu can whisper kitty to you? Stephen, I sure wish you could teach me how to purify water. yum! Hoozan crew? Are we still a crew or what? When do we practice our Hoozoundhouse kicks hmm?

Soon. Yes?
kkkk, I'm off to bed. Apparently I sleep all scrunched and curled up, which totally explains the backaches I wake up with. Bah!
But I love Fetal position!

G'night hoozanions and non-hoozanions. But mostly, Hoozanions.

A potluck, show, subway/bus event.

So I went to a Guitar Potluck this weekend. It turned out to be fun and eventful. Also, I met 6 people from Edmonton there! Go figure. I guess we all flock together. Guitars were played, Poison songs were sung, silly songs were made, harmonizing took place. Oh yes, good funions.
Above: Trevor, who's potluck it was, and Eli-an edmontonion with orange hair and freckles. In orange and mustache, a person who's name I can not remember, but he played good guitar and his mustache was radness.

Kelly took me to see Moneen, Circa Survive and Saves The Day after. I really wanted to see Circa Survive, but we missed them...boo. Oh well...Moneen is always fun so it was grand!
Above: Saves The Day.

Eli's wonderfully orange clogs. I just had to get a shot of them. And look who made a cameo in this picture!! My good old friend Red Wine! hah....Jason's faux chucks also make the picture.

Kelly, Jason, Guitar and Grass. Yup, very eventful and fun.
Kelly gave me a ride to the subway after the show and I made it to the right subway station to catch the bus home, but the bus I required stopped running and so I began to panic so a cab was called, but the cab never got there, then mum called all paniced and told me another bus I could take....blah blah...I made it home finally....poor mum!

I just caught mum pouring herself some gin and tonic....and I wasn't even offered some! Thats ok, she made me a glass full after some whining took place. yay.
So how was your weekend? hmm?
