LAST NIGHT OF FREEDOM...

this one goes out to all my ladies who have either already spent their last night of freedom, or are staring it right in the eyes...get ready for the rest of your lives!!!!

our dearest christina is having hers in less than a week, on the eve a week before the actual BIG day...is she exxxcited, you ask? is she riddled with anticipation? does she have any idea of what she's gotten herself into?

only one way to find out!!!!!

the bachelorette party is definitely the one event that i'm exxxtremely excited for; not that i'm not jazzed up for the actual wedding, but more that the bachelorette party is certainly more up my alley! not only will there we many people from out of town visiting (namely my eilish!!) but it'll be the first time in a long time that our ENTIRE group of friends will be gathered in one place!

you could say it's going to be one helluva party!

the whole idea behind these bachelorette parties is quite interesting. it's like the one night in a couple's relationship where everything gets excused...it's like throughout their relationship, all the "get outta jail free" cards they've been saving up, all get used on this one night!!! they're allowed to have strippers, play dirty games, flirt with strangers, even get free kisses from some!!! and all this happens just mere days before they seal the deal with the person!!! forever...and ever...and EVER!!

does this really make any sense to you???

regardless, it's the one event out of the whole spectacle that merits the award for "messiest evening"...and if i had to give my dear chrissy one piece of advice...it would be to expect the unexpected!!!!

this is your last night of freedom deary...don't worry, you're in good hands!!

I'VE FOUND A PLACE, WHERE WE CAN BOOGIE...SO CUT A RUG UP TONIGHT

i think the change in weekend plans is the biggest adaptation i've had to make, now that we've entered this new stage in our lives. a few years ago, last year even, it was a given that friday night we were going to shake things up in this silly litte town and fuckin' dance the night away...

saturday mornings were filled with greasy brunches, and giggle-filled phonecalls and visits where we laugh about the previous evening's events and debacles...all in anticipation of next weekend, when we get to do it all over again!!

but now things have changed...a concept that is becoming more and more apparent as the days go on. things have been changing for some time now, but i don't think i notice it as much as i do on the weekends when what we used to do has never seemed more like a thing of the past...

long gone are the booze-fueled nights on the pacifico dancefloor...long gone are the random make-out partners...long gone are the one night stands and dirty pictures of pierced penis'...

but what if i wasn't done yet? what if i haven't had my fill? what if i haven't left the dancefloor? do i have a say in all this change?

did anybody ask me if i was ready to move on and let everyone do the same? did anybody ask me if it was alright for them to ruin our lives by settling down and getting hitched and ...don't even get me started...getting *barf* pregnant??????

well at least if they're going to ruin our lives i'm glad i have pretty rings to look at...

DRACO GOODFEATHER

according to my bestfriend (facebook.com) if i were to be a stripper my name would be "Draco Goodfeather"...now is that a stripper name, or what???

i recently saw lindsay lohan's new movie "i know who killed me", and being the trash-addict that i am i was instantly intrigued by the role that miss lindsay took on. it's been a while since she has led a pg-13 lifestyle, so it's about time that her movie roles caught up with her!! i don't know about you, but i had had enough of her silly little "disney-style" flicks...she's a hard-talkin', cigarette smokin, coke-snortin', hAArd-partyin' little booze hound!!!! and it's about time her movie roles started reflecting that!!!! haha!

sorry, that was my little lindsay speal!!

but back to the more pressing matter; when we were in montreal a few months ago, we were in a strip club (one of many we visited on our little trip!) and i found myself sitting back and pondering what would force someone into a career such as this one? what would instigate a girl to mount a stage and dance erotically to music while dirty perverts stick dollar bills down her g-string? how is it possible for a girl to consider a life as a stripper to be a smart choice? and more importantly, is this a last resort???

but then i got to thinking...what's so bad about being a stripper? what is it about being an exotic dancer that society has deemed to be so despicable? what is it about dancing (with a little bit of integrity) around a pole night after night while celebrating your own personal beauty and power as an invididual? sure, some may say it's a tad bit sleezy, and seedy...but you gotta admit it's totally hot!!!! it's sexy, and mysterious, and dangerous, and ultimately powerful.

those girls (and guys) can command attention when they're up there on that stage doing their thing, and all eyes are ultimately on them. they're desired, lusted after, and fantasized about.

the more i consider it, the more i think i would totally strip if i was a girl! it's not degrading, it's empowering! this is your body, and as long as you do it with a little bit of respect, why not flaunt what you got???

in montreal, strip clubs are everywhere...and the girls were amazing! and i should know; i got a personal dance from one and even gave her a 5 dollar bill with my teeth!!! those girls were smokin sexy, and knew exactly what they were doing!!

i say live it up ladies!!!!!

hey, you gotta pay the bills somehow, right?

i guess it just wasn't meant to be...thank you all for your NON support;


dear russel,

i'm very sorry and a tad bit embaressed that i have to write you this email, but i am going to have to back out of adopting the puppy from you. after moving back to halifax from maine, i had no choice but to move in with my parents until i finished my student teaching and found myself a job...

hence my problem...i'm extremely displeased with their decision not to allow another puppy into "their" house...but alas it is their house. i considered paying you the entire fee for the puppy, and asking you to hold him for me for a few months, but that didn't seem fair, to you or to the pooch himself.

i have already sent you my 100 dollar deposit in the form of a money order, and after confirming to you that i was going to take him, i understand that that $100 deposit is rightfully yours, and i won't be asking for it back.

all i do ask is that in the future if our paths are to cross again, that you would once again consider me as a worthy "parent" to one of your adopted puppies.

once again i am extremely sorry, and hope that you are able to find a suitable home for the little guy quickly...there's a whole world of worthy possible pet owners out there, and i only hope that one of them finds your newspaper ads!

thanks again,
