hott summer nights

gosh i love my friends

back 2 da burbs

well this isn't an exact representation of my new neighbourhood...but you get the idea, right?

yes kiddies, i have moved (back) to the suburbs; land of the condo and the mini mall. sad, but true!

now stop laughing...there is a reason why i decided to sign up for 3 months of punishment; i have to take 2 silly summer courses before i can go to school in the states in september, so before i could pay for them i need to save some mad moola...hence the moving into my parents basement where the rent is free and the food is aplenty!!

so it ain't all bad!

PLUS the pool is opening in t-minus 2 weeks and 1 day (can you tell i'm a little excited?) so i'll be able to return to my fish-status soon and start living underwater like i do most summers!!

poor me, eh?

but it's not the city...i miss the noise, the traffic, the group-home girls smoking on my stairs...well, i guess not the last part!!

but the suburbs do have their perks; good looking people, (half naked good looking joggers due to the overwhelming walking trails in the area), lots of puppies, lots of places to go walking, and lots of peace and quiet!

true i may not be able to walk out my door and hail a cab, or have wild parties till the wee hours of the morning and not have the neighbours yell at me, or have a 24 hr pizza place just down the street...

BUT i can go for a swim practically in my own backyard, and i am in walking distance to "the copper penny" (you know you love it)...

so there!

right now i'm sorta living out of a box...which i hate, by the way...it's kinda like being on a bad road trip; you know the destination will make the trip worth it, but having to spend every day with the same two people in a small enclosed area might start to drive you crazy...

promiscuous

this picture doesn't really have anything in particular to what i'm going to post about, but i thought what the hell you can't go wrong with a hot photo of mr beckham!!

i was on the phone with christina last night, and we were discussing the fact that i'm moving home this weekend. and besides bringing a tear to my eye whenever i think about giving up my freedom, it also got me thinking about the way life used to be underneath my parent's roof.

my mom brought me a coffee when she came over to pick up some of my stuff the other day, and when i told her that i wanted a large, black, with 3 sugars...she gasped, and said "3 sugars is too much...i'm only getting you 2..."

HELLO, i'm 25 freakin' years old...i think i can decide how much sugar to put in my coffee!?!

but it's these kind of things that i'm not looking forward to! i'm not a quiet person anymore; in the morning, after work, or even when on the phone...and i'm not looking forward to having to start being!!

i know they're going to be upstairs...blah, blah, blah...but they're still going to be THERE!!

i'm not looking forward to being hung over and around the parentals...

and how am i to continue my promiscuous nature with the parents upstairs???

well it wouldn't be the first time i slept with a boy with them in the house...or in their bed, for that matter!!



might as well finish the entry with another hot photo the same way it started!!

enjoy!

without

my oh my...so much has been happening over the past few months, that it's begun to make my head spin. wow, is this what adult hood is going to be like?

i must say that 25 is off to a rockin'/rocky start...depending on the day, i guess. it's come to my attention lately that life, or else the life to which i've become accustomed to, is quickly changing; first of all i'm picking up and leaving the first true apartment that i've ever lived in that actually felt like home; true it's my second place...but it's technically the only home that jet's ever known. i'm moving back to my parent's place during the next week (in an effort to save up a little bit of money before i leave for school in september.)

my first apartment was lovely, but i wasn't old enough or mature enough then to even really appreciate it. that and i was forced to leave against my will (don't worry harley, you were worth every gut-wrenching second of that war!!) but my place on robie street, actually felt like my own! it wasn't much, but there were a lot of good memories there. bringing jet home, for one...and also, that place was the home base for my most important and loving relationship so far...he and i had many a time in that apartment...if those walls could talk!

but walking around in it this weekend, it suddenly occured to me just how much i'll miss it...

going back to live with mom and dad is the more responsible thing to do; i need to save money to take those silly summer courses...and when you think about it, it wouldn't hurt my future financial situation to actually SAVE a few pennies to go away with... hopefully the hot gay lifeguard from last year will be at the pool again this summer...if so, things are lookin' up!!!

but anyone who has ever moved BACK in with their parents after living alone for so long (as i will be doing) knows that at the time (whether the more mature decision or not) feels like a step back. i'm giving up my independance and becoming a border again...well at least that's how it feels...i've built quite the little life here in the city for myself and my furry little friends, and i never realized just how much giving it up would mean...

the other thing on my mind, and the one that brings a little tear to my eyes, is that in a few months, i'll be moving away...AWAY, away...not just to clayton park this time, but to another country! true, it's only a 6-8 hour drive away...but it's still AWAY...

i've seen other friends pick up and go...eilish and christina to name a few...and it's been hard. you get used to having these people around every day (like in highschool) and then one day before you know it, you find yourself wishing you hadn't taken the luxury of having them so close for granted...

at least when it was them who were leaving, i always knew that it was going to be harder for them; they were moving somewhere else, not me...they were the ones who had to adjust to another lifestyle...all i had to do was adjust to missing them...nothing else was really going to change. i was still here, doing the same job, coming home to the same apartment, living the same routine.

now, the tables are turning...and i'm a little scared.

will i be able to do it? will i be able to adjust? will i make new friends? sooo many questions, and sooo much uncertainty.

i know in my heart that i'll be ok...but this is the first time in my entire life, where i'll have no one to count on but myself...

i guess that's what growing up is all about, eh?

8 and counting

tattoo excursion photos. can't you just feel the burn?











the finished product!!! i must say i think it's my favorite!!

the way to a better orgasm by pamela anderson

"Pamela Anderson is urging fans to spice up their sex lives by turning vegetarian.

To mark National Orgasm Day in America on Sunday, the blonde babe hailed her healthy diet for her fabulous sex life.

She said: "For your best orgasm ever, go vegetarian."

In support of Pamela's claims, a People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) spokeswoman insists: "Because meat clogs arteries going not just to your heart but other vital organs, the best sex tip is to go veggie."



hopefully this will further the debate on why to go vegetarian, instead of grossing everyone out...but once again, it's my blog and i'll write what i want!!! but what i wanted to add to this is that since i've stopped eating meat, my libido has been off the hook!!!!! i'm serious!! i find my sex drive has increased by 10-fold! and considering it was already pretty fuckin' high, that just goes to show!!

honestly, i can't keep my hands out of my pants!!! if only there was someone else's hands around to put down my pants, then i'd be all set...

i don't know what it is; i'm always horny, i'm constantly in the mood, and i find everything more sensual than it was before!! simply eating a delicious meal can invoke feelings of lust!

it's cRaZy i tell you!! CrAzY!!!

kapoomkaloped

that's the term we coined to describe the night we had on saturday! it's actually a bahama (bohemian?) term signifying the state of drunkenness to which we were no strangers this weekend!

and actually, we would never have heard this term if our own long lost bahama mama mima hadn't RETURNED TO US UNEXPECTEDLY AND SURPRISED US ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

that little devil.

all in all it was a fantabulous weekend; dinner with the parentals on friday night at il mercato (my new favorite restaurant, hot waiters too), followed by homemade cake, wine and presents at their place. saturday was a day of running around and then decorating in preparation for the birthday bash that was to happen later on. i was picked up by renee and my chrissy boots (fresh from ontario) and brought to dinner at the fireside, where we gourged ourselves on martinis, i mean dinner!! then we went back to my place and had a rockin' party (thank you all for coming!! all 40 of you...my poor apartment!!) from which we went downtown...and drank...and drank...and drank...

i don't really remember coming home, or where i got my veggie pizza from...or why i thought it was a good idea to ask random hot boys to take their shirts off for me so i could take their pictures (but i did enjoy finding them in my roll of film once developed...mmm...)

only thing i can do is blame the hypnotiq...gotta love those naughty hypnotiq's!!

thanks again for a wonderful 25th people!!! it was definitely one for the books!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARLEY!!!!

today my first born turns 3!!!!! hard to believe that my lil' baby is growing up so quickly, eh?? i remember when he was just a pup, sleeping on the back of my neck at night, and never leaving my side when we were out!!

i even remember the night i brought him home from the pet store, i knew my life would never be the same! (for the better of course!!)

so join me in a happy birthday chorus for my lil' harls!!

he starts college next fall, eh??

butt out

today marks my ONE year aniversary of the day i OFFICIALLY quit smoking!!!! isn't that exciting??? it was may 10th, 2005 that i finally ditched that nasty habit...not on my own however. i enlisted the help of a certain doctor parsons...miracle worker/hypnotist!!

i know i've written before about my hypnotist experience, so i won't go into detail about it again, for fear of boring my devote readers. but in all honesty i'm still in total awe of the whole experience!

i went into the appointment after smoking like a chimney in new york for a week, a total skeptic, and not exactly knowing what to expect. a little concerned, a little worried, and totally on guard...

BUT with the help of an open mind and a determined will, i walked out of that office a non-smoker!! 15 minutes later, my life was changed for the better!!

i just didn't understand how you could overcome a physical addiction with mere suggestions. i still don't really understand how it works!! but it just goes to show that it's totally possible to kick that bad habit, as long as it's in your heart.

i had been smoking on and off (more on than off) since i was 16 years old....i had my first one after i started working at the movie theater, and then when i turned 19 it was downhill from there. back then you could smoke anywhere in bars, and it was hard to get away from. hence why it was so hard for someone trying to quit/cut down!!

so for anyone out there reading this, and who's contemplating quitting, make sure you're ready (cause if you're not then it's bound to be PURE TORTURE!!) and be ready for a change in lifestyle both mental and physical.

it's probably the toughest thing you'll ever have to do, but it's possible! there are many many 'stop smoking' things on the market today (and i've tried them all!!) but if you can get in to see you're family doctor, ask him about hypnotism...in canada it's covered my msi (so it's completely free) and it fuckin' works!!!

what have you got to lose?

NOTHING!! that's what! there's only GAIN here people!!

there's no price on life!! enjoy it!

countdown to fun!!!

may has always been a BIG month...monumental, even...colossal? maybe. but definitely BIG!!!

allow me to give you a little rundown: there's my birthday, of course!! (hey, it's the one day of the year where i can officially be selfish and totally get away with it, so leave me alone!)

don't forget about tattoo day on the 11th!! eeeeeeeep!! and my 1 year anniversary of the day i quit smoking on the 10th. (hence the congratulatory tattoo i'm giving myself!!)

mother's day, the 14th (ie the day we celebrate the women who brought us into this sweet sweet world! so go out and buy some silly flowers you gooses!!)

france's birthday, the 14th aswell (and although she won't be here to celebrate it with us, or rather WE won't be THERE to celebrate it with her, let's hope she'll have a drink for us...wait, a VIRGIN COCKTAIL for us...WE'LL have a drink for you...don't worry, we'll do enough drinking for you lil miss preggo!! xoxo)

harley's birthday, the 16th (my lil sweet turns 3 this year...hard to believe he came into my life almost 3 years ago!! he starts college in the fall, eh?)

christina and melanie's birthdays, the 20th (and both will be here to celebrate this year, unlike last year where miss chrissy boots was elsewhere. can you say boozefest in three different languages like i can??)

i believe that's it. and trust me, that's enough!! my liver is hating me already.

13

well we all know that i'm beyond help when it comes to my tattoo addiction. (7 and counting...) but whatever! i have an appointment to get my new one in exactly one week (the 11th of may, just before my 25th birthday and a day after my one year anniversary of the day i quit smoking!! ie my little present to myself on my special day!!)

now i was (almost) all set on the design that you'll see pictured below...that is, until i laid eyes on the baby at the top of the page. and i'm not referring to the sexy pipes that you see!! i'm ACTUALLY referring to his AMAZING tattoo that i fell in love with and haven't stopped staring at all day, while i should be doing my work!!



this is the tribal slash design that i was (originally) sold on...

in case you're puzzling over why i would want a tattoo stretched across my back that says "lucky thirteen", it's because i was born on the 13th day (of may) and it has ALWAYS been my lucky number.

13 has always been a lucky number to me. i even turned 13 on friday the 13th, and i've always used 13 as my number of choice, whenever asked for one randomly!!

i feel so torn...what to do?? what to do??

i ask you fellow reader(s), leave me your comments/opinions on which you like better.

feel free to factor in the hot physique of the boy in the picture if it floats your boat too.

happy birthday...mister beckham...

haaaaaaaappy birthday....toooooo youuuuuuuuuu!!!

xo

eat your goddamn greens!!!

well this week marks my first official week of vegetarianism!! woo hoo!! officially no more carcuss for this lil' guy!! and i must say, so far so good!

it's been a long time coming, i guess! for the past 6 months or so the only meat i've consumed has been chicken. chicken and i have had a long standing intimate relationship for the majority of my existence...but i knew it was time to say good bye!

i held on for a little too long i think, mainly due to a fear of not receiving enough protein in my diet thusly resulting in a loss of weight...and for someone of my calibur/genetic make-up, losing weight could be a tad bit disastrous!!

but alas, it got to the point where every time i took a bite my feelings of guilt grew stronger and stronger. i seriously couldn't do it anymore.

that's when i was introduced to my new boyfriend; mr. vegetarianism!! it's getting serious...i think i'm in love!!!!

my vegetarian starter kit arrived yesterday from goveg.com/peta.org and it's packed with wonderful trivia and random celebrity quotes explaining why they chose to go veg, not to mention the 6 pages of colorful vegetarian recipes/substitutes to the many many 'now considered evil' meaty meals to which we had become accustomed as newly-ex-carnivores!!

how excited am i to get cooking??? VERRRRRY!!! let's just say trips to the grocery store have a whole new meaning!!

AND, i've even found a meat-free alternative to my usual friday night indulgence of chicken fingers and fries!!

this little gay vegetarian is very happy!!

wish me luck!!
