11:26 am - <3

Sigh. If only I wasn't playing sports 5-6 days a week this summer I could actually afford to feed my t-shirt fetish.
Damn you, Threadless!

2:17 am - Snow.
|
So yeah. Snow is all fun and fucking games until the power goes out while you're at work and you have to spend about three hours trying to set up generators and compressed air tanks so that all of your fish and shit don't die.
This all happened, of course, before you were finished what you had to do that day, so it's 1:15 in the fucking morning and you're still there. At work.
NICE.
The silver lining to this dark cloud is that power was actually restored, meaning someone didn't have to keep coming back every two hours to change air tanks and gas up generators.
If the power goes out again before I get to leave, I going to lose my shit and burn this mother down.

10:34 pm - CIBC Run for the Cure
|
I didn't get my shit together last year, and I almost didn't again this year, but I've finally pulled my head out of my ass.
I'm once again running in the CIBC Run for the Cure in support of breast cancer research on October 1st. You can see my page here, where you have the option to donate to the cause. I don't expect you to, but if you have an extra $5 or $500 kicking around collecting dust, I know a bunch of women who would appreciate it even more than I would. So yeah, if you feel like kicking out a couple bucks, that'd be rad.
Thanks.

kuni_bob is forcing me (read: asked politely at all) to repost this so she can answer the questions that she herself posed about...herself. So here goes. The rest of you are welcome to bash away at them if you please.
1. Do we know each other outside of LJ?
2. What's your philosophy on life?
3. Would you have my back in a fight?
4. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest?
5. What is your favorite memory of us?
6. Would you give me a kidney?
7. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you:
8. Would you take care of me when I'm sick?
9. Can we get together and make a cake?
10. Have you heard any rumors of me lately?
11. Do you/have you talk(ed) crap about me?
12. Do you think I'm a good person?
13. Would you drive across country with me?
14. Do you think I'm attractive?
15. If you could change anything about me, would you?
16. What do you wear to sleep?
17. Would you come over for no reason just to hang out?
18. Would you go on a date with me if I asked you?
19. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together?
20. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?

10:49 pm - Boredom becomes me.
|
So. Fucking. Bored.
The summer season of ultimate is over (has been for weeks, actually), and the only small mercy is that fall season starts this weekend. That said, I'm going from four-to-five days of ultimate per week to two. I ain't all that smart, but I'm pretty sure that's a bajillion percent reduction.
The only reason I haven't been going absolutely batshit these past few weeks since the culmination of three months of ultimate in a lacklustre finish on all three of my teams has been the ladyfriend [how's that for a brutal sentence]. But now she's gone back to Ontario to finish school, so there goes that. Tip for all you would-be suitors out there: if you're worried about having to ever break up with someone, just make sure they're leaving town! I'm on a roll with this shit.
So what the fuck am I supposed to do with myself now that ultimate has been reduced to two days a week and the females of our race have once again been united in their disdain for me? I mean, the obvious answer is masturbation, as that solves both problems (two balls with one stroke, so to speak), but there are too many hours in the day and I was only blessed with so many layers of skin.
TMI? TMI.
The fall TV season is starting to wind up, and I've got a list of shows that, I shit you not, is four dozen long, but at this point I'm hoping that 90% of them suck goat sack so that I don't end up with a flat ass from sitting at my computer all night. And besides, I'm not really in the mood to lead the sedentary lifestyle just yet. So while television provides a viable alternative to passing the fall and winter months in an active and enjoyable manner, my hope is that I won't have to resort to that. My hope is that in two months' time, the highlight of my week won't be rushing home from work to watch House. My hope is that in two months' time, I'll be back to enjoying life as much as I did this summer.
Because this summer fucking ruled.

I fucked my ribs up almost two weeks ago diving for a disc (not even playing ultimate, just diving because I wanted to). It started to actually hurt about a week ago, and has steadily gotten worse since. I haven't been able to play since that time. It's driving me crazy; watching your teams get decimated when there's nothing you can do about it is frustrating as all hell.
I went in for X-rays on Monday, and got the results back yesterday that I didn't crack anything. Which is good, sure, but now I have no idea what I've done to myself. Sitting up or lying down in bed hurts, anything that works my abdominal muscles hurts, and I've been fighting off sneezes left right and centre because sneezing feels like I'm going to blow a hole in my chest. Fun!
Today I went back to the doc with a wtf to ask what now. I was in the waiting room for 50 minutes, then I saw the doc and within five I was out the door with a prescription in hand. Fucking walk-in doctors. They remind me of the scene in Requiem for a Dream. Not the ass-to-ass one, the doctor's office one. Though I suppose once I hit 40 or so, those two scenes will merge in my mind.
Fuck.
Anyhizzle, the doc hooked me up with some anti-inflammatories since -- and he didn't actually tell me this, I'm basing this assumption on my learnin's and edumacations -- the problems I'm having are likely due to my own body fucking around. Here's the fun part.
When I got the prescription filled, the pharmacist recommended that I don't give these pills to my girlfriend (which, ha!) because one of the ingredients that's used to make the drugs a little easier on the stomach can -- get this -- cause spontaneous abortions.
You know, if this stuff does the trick, I might just keep a few tucked away in my drawer. Morning after pill? Fuck that noise, I've got ArthrotecTM!
side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, scarlet fever, jungle fever, disco fever, disco inferno, burning sensations in the extremeties, death, spontaneous abortions and/or the giggles

I'm just posting as an excuse to a) get that last post off the top of my page and b) show off this wicked icon that I stole from, I believe, childofcrow.
This one is even better than the exploding high-five.
Also, FYI. Feeling better now, just had a rough night. Since then I've managed to keep myself occupied during most of the evening. I can feel it creeping back into the corner of my skull when I've got nothing to do, so I'm attempting to minimise the amount of time that I'm sedentary. If anyone has any bright ideas of things to do, I'm all for it.
And yes, Erika, this absolutely includes you.

12:44 am - Dear diary, mood: melancholy.
|
Blech. I just spent the last few hours stewing. Not the kind of stewing where you put meat and vegetables in the broth and cook for a long time in a big pot. The kind of stewing where your emotions are in a pot and they're fermenting.
During that stewing process I tried writing, because in the past that has helped me get shit off my chest. Yeah, this time it just made it worse. I'm not going to post it, because I'm not fucking emo. But yeah, I'm feeling pretty gross right now.
mcsimpson has told me a couple of times I've been depressed for a while. The first time he said it, I brushed it off. The second time he said it, I realised it's true. Maybe not depressed, but definitely sad. I've just managed to keep myself busy basically every night for the past month or two, so I haven't noticed. But tonight it's really hit me.
Erika coming back into town certainly didn't help. I love her and everything, but FUCK. I thought I was past this shit.
Huge props to paddy_cakes for being ears, and kuni_bob for offering up hers as well. I'm not used to being so dependant, but I have to say it's nice to have that support when you need it.

Just out of curiousity, when did it become fashionable for men to wear pink? If I'm not mistaken, we are not living in the 80's. I don't know, maybe I've just dreamt up this last 17 years. No, no, don't pinch me. The 80's are embarrassing, I'd rather live in my comatose dreamworld, thanks.
Actually...if this is all a figment of my imagination, then that means I can make Jennifer Connelly appear naked in my lap.
Fuck. Well, worth a shot.
This is Jeremy, bitching so you don't have to.

Well, I sucked pretty hard at figuring out kuni_bob's, mcsimpson's, or rissdemeanour's versions of this meme, but here goes for mine. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten past about 10 CD's in the process of ripping my collection to mp3, so there's a lot of artist (and album) repetition. I'm not usually one to participate in memes, but this one was pretty interesting. Too bad I don't have any LJfriends to quiz. Woe is me. Woe!!!
Go nuts, y'all.
Rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
1. Indivisible / You are the one / Impossible to hear / What you say to me tonight
2. The horizon has been defeated / By the pirates of the new age
3. You get to feel so guilty / You get so much for so little / Then you'd find that feeling just won't go away
4. With the lights out it’s a little less dangerous / Even with a stranger never gets painless [careful now!]
5. Well can't you see that it's just raining / There ain't no need to go outside -- Jack Johnson - Banana Pancakes
6. Urgh! / Speaking as a guy who's really got it going on / It's only natural! -- Barenaked Ladies - It's Only Me
7. Saturdays / Saturdays I'm reminded of / Bombs away / Over our houses when it could have been, should have been, doves
8. Line up crooked my eyes / Straight up at the sun / In and out of consciousness / Neither is much fun
9. Johnny take a walk with your sister to the moon / Let her pale light in to fill up your room -- U2 - She Moves In Mysterious Ways
10. Lover lover let's pretend / We're born as innocents / Cast into the world with apples eyes [I don't blame you if you don't know it, the guy's unintelligible.]
11. Put out your lights / You're taking over / Sit on your hands for the new national anthem / It sounds a lot like shit but it goes on and on -- Matthew Good - Put Out Your Lights
12. Call and I'll answer / At home in the lost and found / You say that I'm much too proud
13. Touch! I'll stand for nothing less / Or never stand again
14. Here it comes and there it goes / Another day of decomposing light -- Matthew Good - In a World Called Catastrophe
15. I'm walking on clouds now and the sky is falling on down / I don't wanna wake up if I'm dreaming / Don't think I'll ever get out of my bed
16. When I was just a little girl / I asked my mother "what will I be?" / "Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?" / Here's what she said to me [which version do you think?] -- Pink Martini - Que Sera Sera [a better version IMHO]
17. There's a mark on my back / From my last heart attack / A whiskeymouthbottleneckcardstack
18. I slept through Easter yesterday / Right through Christmas just the same
19. Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by / We never get to stop and open our eyes [version?] -- Barenaked Ladies - Lovers in a Dangerous Time
20. Round, round / Circumventing circuses / Lamenting in process / To visible police / Presence sponsored fear
21. What is life if not a joke? / One night she went out for smokes / And they took her apart like a rag doll in the back of a van -- Matthew Good Band - Alabama Motel Room
22. Heaven bent to take my hand / And lead me through the fire / Be the long awaited answer / To a long and painful fight -- Sarah McLachlan - Fallen
23. With everything ahead of us / We left everything behind / But nothing that we needed / At least not at this time
24. There's traffic in the sky / And it doesn't seem to getting much better
25. The city is my jungle gym / Look at this big great world that we're living in / There's lots of fun to be had on these streets / We can take a ride just you and me
26. Everything's a lie / We're all gonna die / Before we say goodbye let's attack -- Barenaked Ladies - Second Best
27. Little terror / Pack your stars / Here's a big wind for your sails
28. "Don't go there," / I heard her say. / "You can't stomach what you're gonna see."
29. Night lift up the shades / Let in the brilliant light of morning / But steady there now / For I am weak and starving for mercy
30. You believe there’s something else / To relieve your emptyness
