Wow it's Sept.

So what have I been doin? More 12-hr days with Dar, haha. Well I can see why ppl would think we're together...but GOD NO. He is/was into Al anyway :P I don't remember if I mentioned that before. Technically nobody's supposed to know. Oops. Don't tell anyone.

Played pool at Spectrum, heaven forbid that Q's is closed for good cuz it wasn't open on Sun. My Honda Accord is sometimes the only car I get and it STILL reeks of gas so I don't like drivin it. This is made worse by my dad tellin me that there's somethin up with the exhaust and it's really really loud. I find out for myself when I go to pick up Dar and it sounds like a freakin Fast & Furious racer, except it's not! You'd hafta see the car for yourself to understand the hilarious irony. It sounds badass but lookin at it, bein inside it, it's just bad, haha. So we're drivin back home and a car pulls up next to us at a red. There's a few guys in there all talkin at the same time, askin us for so-and-so street or whatever and the 2 guys in the front ask me if I wanna race, hahaha. I guess they heard it but they had no idea that my shitbox was in no condition to drag. Or they were just mockin my fine piece of work vehicle. But I guess it doesn't look crappy at all at night cuz it's charcoal and it bein dark and all.

Mon was a big clean-up day in the house. My mom decided to move all the boxes and shit that have been sittin in the livin room to the study room and switch all the stuff in the study room (my brother's old room) to his new room upstairs. Friggin heavy liftin. At night, me, Al, Dar chilled at Pris' condo. I think she's about to move in anytime now.

Tues me and Dar worked as extras on Default's new music video! We were there from 2 to 8:30 and it felt so much longer cuz it was mostly standin around waitin and pretendin to rock out over and over in a big, dusty warehouse and it was SO DAMN HOT in there. All for free. Cool experience tho, I had fun. I got a pic with the band. I love Dallas :) And the bassist with the braids now has this awesome mohawk, he's actually kinda hot. We heard their single "Count On Me" over so many takes that I think I know most of the words by now. It's pretty good tho. They're editing the stuff now and the director said the video would be out in about 2 weeks so if I see myself in it, I'll be sure to let everyone know ;) If they use the shots that I think they're usin, you'll def see the back of my head and my ass, haha.

We hadn't eaten all day and the breaks we got only gave us 15 mins to walk to the Eaton Centre to use a proper washroom instead of a Porta-Potty or to go buy a Red Bull from the corner store. There was pizza after the shoot so that took care of dinner...we took a couple slices as we were still workin on our first ones and ran, haha. They loved havin us there tho so it wasn't really work.

Then we watched Batman Begins on IMAX. I know it's kinda old by now but everyone had watched it and we both wanted to see it so there you have it. I liked it...Christian Bale :) Tho the screen kinda made me dizzy cuz it's so huge and my eyes didn't know where to look.

Such a long day. Then all of a sudden Darien is all hyper and smiley comin outta the movie cuz he was on painkillers. He esp enjoyed the fact that it was rainin outside...he had just mentioned that day that he loved walkin in the rain. Why would you wanna get your clothes wet, crazy man. So we had no choice but to go out in it cuz it was midnight by this point. We had to walk to the subway station and the rain got bad enough that we just gave up tryin to run. I might as well have showered outside cuz my hair was that drenched. It was funny tho. And we rode the TTC home like that.

Wed I took it easy cuz I was just so tired from the day before. So much walkin! And standin!

Yesterday was the CNE. I went with my mom, aunt, and Darien, haha. I only went cuz Dar's never been and I guess I haven't been there for a few yrs. We used to go every yr when I was a kid. My mom and aunt were goin to walk around and watch shows and shop :P OMG I had to get up at 8:30. Everybody knows this hurts me.

We browsed the vendors in the International Centre and the Arts & Hobbies building, separating and meetin up with my mom and aunt a few times. Me and Dar saw some stuff that we were close to buyin like collector's bobbleheads from '80s cartoons, some jewelery, new sunglasses for me to replace my busted ones that were replacin my lost ones at Wonderland, and these cool retro metal signs of Pepsi ads. Dar ended up gettin a Colorado Avalanche road sign cuz he's obsessed with them for some reason. I saw this retro diner Pepsi clock that I would've loved (and Dar actually was serious about buyin for me cuz he's rich and insane like that) but it was $100.

We got food, explored some more, saw the Human Cannonball guy, went around the Midway a buncha times and played a LOT of games. Dar was determined to win somethin so he spent a lot of money tryin, haha. He did get me a big Champ Bear Carbear, a pirate Patrick, and a lil Spongebob. He lost so bad at most of them, haha. Actually I won the Patrick cuz I'm the one who got the ball into the basket (the kind where they're convex so you gotta toss them a certain way so they'll stay in). Good times. Then we had to leave at 6 cuz Dar had arranged a lil get-together with everybody to solidify the bday plans for Sat at the coffee shop. So we left my mom and aunt so they could stay as long as possible to get their admission price's worth, haha. Me, Dar, and the girls were supposed to meet at 8 at Starbucks but we were runnin late and then the whole ride thing wasn't helpin.

Anyway, we got all of the party stuff sorted out. We were all in a weird mood and ppl thought we were drunk when we got out to the parkin lot. Man, I was tired from the day. I got home around 10:30 and my mom still hadn't gotten back. Tsk tsk, stayin out later than me, haha. Then I realized I hadn't even eaten dinner. My sleepin and eatin patterns were so messed up this week.

Oh well. Darien's bday tomorrow! I should go pack. Have a friggin good long weekend!

BANANAS.

Fri night was outta control. That was some damn good times. Or as me, Dar, and Al say..."Fuckin fabulous!" It was Kim's last night out for Summer of Kim cuz she's got her CA stuff and work and whatnot so we all went out to party at Fez Batik. Dar was downtown during the day and wouldn't make it back up by 7, which is when Kim was leavin to go pre-drink at someone's place, I don't even know what she said...and everybody else was gonna be already downtown from work or whatever so me and Dar were gonna make it down together on our own. I haven't taken the subway downtown for a night out since like hs, back when we didn't have a car, haha.

They were all gonna be there earlier to chill on the patio and beat the cover but we didn't make it there til 11. I saw Fish on the patio and chatted for 2 secs over the fence thingy. Kim and them were inside so me and Dar headed in. It was mostly ppl from Kim's work plus Al, Fish, Sheena, and Audrey. There was a freakin lineup to go out to the patio cuz of capacity so we hung around the bar. The girl beside me turned out to be Kim and then the introducing of ppl and huggin began. Then Al came in from the patio. She ended up gettin off earlier from work too and beat us there...and totally could've given us a ride :P

OMG it was only 11 somethin and everybody was drunk already. It was hilarious...even Fish was down. Dar bought me drinks all night even tho I told him my lush situation. Terrible. We all danced, drank, got freaky...glowsticks were involved, I dunno where they came from, but they were bein put in cleavage and where "she likes it in the back!" They were handin out free sample tins of Hpnotiq mints. Since it was promo for the drink, I figured they'd taste like Hpnotiq. They were ordinary mints...disappointing, haha.

Al had to leave early cuz she was leavin for Stratford in the morning, Fish was leavin with her, and Kim had a mock exam at 8 am so we all cut out before 2. Me and Dar were gettin a ride home with Kim, along with Sheena and Audrey. We all realized later that Kim was probably not in the best shape to be drivin :P Don't get me wrong, we'd never drink and drive (she wasn't smashed at all) but it's just that if we had the choice, it just would've been better if someone else stone-cold dry was drivin. She was completely fine on the roads anyway. I can't say the same for the everyone else in the car!

I dunno how Audrey got so wasted. I only saw her with a drink once during the night so who knows where those drinks were comin from. She was lookin for Sheena during the night and when I told Sheena she was like, yeah I saw her on the stairs and I punched her in the arm and she just kept on walkin! She was probably like, wtf? in that dazed state of hers and went on her way, haha.

Out of the 5 of us, Audrey, Sheena, and me were the most drunk...in that order. We were walkin to where the car was parked and Sheena wanted to stop in Burrito Boyz to get food. It was a long lineup and we waited outside cuz it's like an apartment stoop with steps and a bench. I dunno where Chief came from but she showed up and was tryin to take care of Audrey. Then they disappeared (I think Audrey went to go puke) and Kim went to go look for them. I was shoutin at Sheena to hurry up, crouched at the window. And I dunno where Dar was. I sat on the bench beside some guy, made small talk with some other dude, and watched the hijinx. The guy's friends came out with their food and one of them kicked over a garbage can upside down and sat on it...brilliant. The guy offered me his burrito, haha. Don't you love the bond of wasted ppl?

Kim told Dar to tell Sheena to get a bag for Audrey in case she threw up. I waved at Sheena thru the window repeatedly. She came out to yell there was a line and she was #15. Kim told me to go find Audrey in the parkin lot next door. I couldn't see them. Finally Sheena emerged with grub, and some chicks drivin an H2 Hummer were just comin out of the lot. We're just like, "That is a sick car! That is a SICK car!" in front of the cop who was directin traffic :P We spotted Audrey and Chief. I'm like, Chief! Where did you come from? She's smilin and is like, "...a lesbian club". I'm like, oh OK! Haha.

Audrey was a mess. She looked so confused and always like she was gonna hurl any second and and had trouble walkin. Kim decided it was take an hr to get to Roy Thompson Hall where she parked so we hailed a cab. Of course they were bein anal about how many ppl we could put in the cab but we got one who'd take 5. Apparently it's more money for the extra person. Cabbies aren't my favourite ppl. Chief left...I still dunno why or how she got there when she was gonna take off anyway.

So we took a $4 cab ride to the parkin garage and Audrey took her SLOWASS time walkin to the car. Literally, she was takin a step every 10 seconds. That taxi was a good idea. I had to coax her along cuz she was goin on about how she just had to make it home. And Sheena kept eatin her friggin burrito even tho she was sayin how spicy it was and was CRYIN cuz it was so hot, haha. I'm like, just throw it out! She's like, noooo! It's SO GOOD!

That car was fun times. We pulled over a few times cuz Audrey felt like she was gonna toss. Dar was such a good guy and held her hair back and gave her water and all that. He was sittin in the middle and I wasn't in a state to be helpin out another drunky. The 3 of us passed out on the way home. Audrey was sleepin on Dar's shoulder and she had just met the guy that night, haha.

We got to Audrey's house but her purse was somewhere else so she didn't have her keys. I think she got a lil lost goin up her driveway :P And then she took a day to make it up to her porch. Kim called the house so Audrey's dad could let her in. Ouch. She's like, we've dropped her off like this so many times. Then Sheena stepped outta the car and threw up on the curb :P Thank god I didn't hear or see it but Kim was like, ooooh! cuz she heard the splatter, haha. I'm like, what? Kim's like, she threw up. I looked over and saw the evidence all over the grass and the road. SHEEEENAAAAAA! She's like, hey, I never do it in ppl's car...I'm good like that. Yeah, Kim was just grateful nothing happened in her car.

Sheena got dropped off next, then Dar. I realized I had a bottle of water between my legs and I'm like, whose is this?? And where's the cap? Yeah I don't remember. Kim's like, wtf happened tonight?? LOL

That describes it exactly. Off the fuckin chain. Except when I got home. Again, I thought it was alright, I felt absolutely fine...I'm just like, I'm gonna have such a good sleep. Went to bed around 3. I woke up 6:30-7 with the heaves. FUCK. Went to go throw up. Wasn't so bad, went back to bed. Woke up again havin to barf. Should've figured. I think I did this about 2 or 3 more times. The last time I was like, this has to be it...I think that was all cuz the nauseousness I feel in the pit of my stomach is finally gone. This was noon. I had gone downstairs and tried nappin on the couch but I ended up havin to puke all those times and got no sleep so I just headed back up to my bed. I slept til 4:30 :S

Brutal. My tummy hurt all day and I was perfectly fine with stayin in on a Sat night. Then Dar called from bein downtown so we just went to Timmy's. I told him what happened that morning and NOW he believes me. I said I couldn't drink much if at all on his bday :P If I had known I'd get hammered this weekend, I would've stayed sober and switched it to get crazy next weekend.

OK that's enough drunk story time from me.
