nihilists with good imaginations: April 2006

a little interlude

wow ok so it's so close i can taste it
the only thing separating me from a glorious summer are 2 exams
one is on the Monkees, Madonna and the construction of the music video
and the other is on absolutely pointless shit that i couldn't care less about
then, i move into my new apartment with my new roomies
then i have a week to spend relaxing (at barneys) with the london summer crew and random mississaugians that decide to come visit
and then i start the easiest job ever at a call centre where i'm working full time for a week of training (under the supervision of a man named Floyd. ha.) then working 25 hours a week at $11/hr, meaning that i will not only be having time for myself, but i will be having the best summer everrrrrrrr
brendan, come back. i already miss you.
alrighty, back to studying, and by studying i mean packing/screaming show tunes at the top of my lungs.
taaaaaa.

COMMENT !!!!!!!

(EDIT- wow, i was really drunk when i wrote that...hahah great times last night, thanks to Rob for the pics, also on facebook)

pneumonia part 2

turns out the prescription i'm on can be used to treat inhaled anthrax...

(i guess that beats the medicine they had me on last time that was used to treat AIDS patients with declining respiratory systems)

ps- thanks for the *hugs* and the like. i'm feeling a lot better today (ie- i can breathe without an oxygen mask helping me today) and we're just waiting on the chest x-rays to see whether i'll be back in london to write my last 4 exams or whether they will get deferred. i'll keep y'all posted. much love.

pps- please never EVER refer to the new Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes baby as "Tomkitten" to me. why? firstly, ew. and secondly, the name 'Suri' is far too pretty to be forgotten by the media in a stupid attempt to be witty

pneumonia

yep. i have pneumonia.
and am currently bed-ridden.
i'm clearly just posting this for sympathy.

(so, go ahead).

jst call me fitty

mit soph purple circles thread called "Freestyle Madness":

Howie:
I feel it is important that we, as the most gangsta community, drop it like it's hot. Here's the rules:

1) The last person to go leaves the topic (two unrelated things) of the next freestyle.

2) Bombs must be dropped.

First Topic: Neil Rimmer & Grocery Carts.

Hey yo, Neil awoke it was a Thursday, but so cold.

He went to eat, but the bread was more like mould,

So he picked up his chin,

Said lets begin,

and got his keys,

Sippin' mad syrup,

his gangstah mom was payin fees,

She left a grocery list, so long as if so biblical

Trekkin' through the aisles, his fatigue was unequivocal.

“I needs mofukkin basket, I needs mofukkin cart”

Bagboy said, "watch your language!"

Big Rimmz ripped him apart.

Because his life is gangsta, cappin bagboys, ending lives

Pushin mad flow in carts, but in sad movies he cries.

Rimmz is out on the street, servin justice, Righting wrongs

His day began so quiet, Buyin turkey for his moms.

Next Topic:

Evergreen Trees & Cowboy Boots.

Laura:
whoa. that shit is hype.
yo yo break it down

when i'm chillin wit mah boyz i jus wanna yell "YO"

when it's christmas time i just wanna scream "HO"

those evergreen trees over there are so fly

if i dont get one now, i might as well die

even tho tree dealers can be suspicious,

i'd like to say those things are crazy delicious

but the truth of the thang is that cowboy boots are better

cuz y'all can wear 'em in all kinds of weather

that's my rap, howie i know you will hate it

but that's aight yo, cuz only one of us can make it

(and that's me, wut.)

Next topic:
50 Cent vs. the Easter Bunny
