I Heart C.M.

well since my boyfriend is quite "fond" of him, and since we actually (speak of the devil) ran into him last night while waiting for the bus, i thought i might dedicate today's entry to the man himself. (he also said he was a fan of my bloggy-thingy, so a few shameful compliments definitely got him in my good books!!)

yes kiddies, i'm referring to Chris Meagher!! (eat your heart out, andre davie!!)

well mr. meagher and i met oh, quite some time ago, while he was still working in the same geographical location that he had been for the better part of a decade. that being the infamous "quinpool courts". yes my friends, he was there when it was "jumbo", he was there when it was "ambassador", and he sold out, i mean WAS THERE when it turned to "roger's". wow, that's quite the dedication, eh? why would he stay in a helpless part-time job with no rewards for so long, you ask? because he had a love, a love that surpassed all loves...he loves MOVIES!!! always has, always will!

personally i always considered myself to be quite the "movie buff", but let me tell you, i met my match when i met the meagher. chris introduced me to things i had never even knew existed!! from gregg araki movies, to my current short lived obsession with buffy and angel, he was quite the savante to be around.

now to work with, is another story!! brianne, the lovely and fantastic sister of blake, worked with him at ambassador, so she knows what i'm talking about!! mr. meagher is the king of mood swings, from the time he threw a chocolate cadbury cream egg at my head, to the time he wore the roger's video mascot costume an ENTIRE day to work, he's always been somewhat unpredictable. always good for a laugh, between mocking customers to falling in love with the girl with the basshound who lived across the street with the silly boyfriend who didn't appreciate her (and that's coming from a gay man), we all loved him!!

and therein lies his charm! he's somewhat enigmatic, quiet, brooding, yet helpful, generous, loving and cruel at the sametime. he truly personifies the idea of "you have to be cruel to be kind". he always reminded me of the little boy on the playground who teased the girl next to him to show he liked her!! (me being the little girl, who got teased by him waaaaaay too often...and i didn't even get any!!! just kiddin'!!)

he personally coined the catch-phrase "christina 4-eva"!! and he had a hand in "mel-bear" and "fran-bear". he said if i were a dj my name would be "dj strawberry quik" (due to my red rainjacket and red hat). he was the person who first introduced me to absinthe (roger's video christmas party circa 2002). he burned countless cd's for me, although i was usually bribed and forced to mop the floor to "earn" them first! he always said that every time you couldn't find me in the store, (i used to disappear from sight quite often) i must be on the floor of the bathroom, jerking off...where that stemed from i'll never know!!!!!

whew, well i say i outdid myself today!! i'm quite proud! that's the man, we call chris meagher. he's now working at the casino, where i hear he's doing quite well, and probably up to his old tricks again, and torturing a whole new group of young impressionables. i hope they turn out aswell as i did!!

well i know some of you might be wondering when your dedication entry is coming, and well let's just say i'm now taking requests.
