Victoria Clubber's: A Rant

2009-03-14T17:47:00.000-07:00

I have been spending a lot of time in Victoria recently. I enjoy it here. The people are nice. Like really nice. Let me paint a picture for you of just how nice they really are.

-Almost every person says thank-you when they get off the bus
-People will stop at green lights to let you cross the street

So why is it that as soon as you throw these very nice people into a club, they suddenly become very rude and completely un-aware of personal space.

I have never been stepped on, kicked, bumped into, danced on, shoved and generally had my bubble violated like i have in a Victoria bar.

And im not the only one who feel's this way. I was talking to a few friends last night that have lived in many different city's and they also felt that Victoria clubbers were extra pushy and have a tendancy to bump into people with out even noticing it.

So what is it that happen's to these nice Island Folk that makes them so un aware of their current surroundings and send's them into all out flail once they hit the club floor?

I have started to make use of some old records by turning them into funky art. These bowls are the first of many vinyl related pieces.

My intent is to start selling my works of decorative art.

These bowls are great for centre pieces, planters, change, keys. They can be filled with things like marbles, stones, sand, candles (just careful not to melt the vinyl)

Please let me know if you just must have one.

Im pretty sure i need this!

Getting helped.

2008-10-30T17:41:00.000-07:00

Group yesterday was good. Emotional but good.

Im pretty excited for Halloween tomorrow. For more then one reason.

Cleaned my house last night. Did some minor rearranging.

The only thing left to be cleaned is the thing that needs it the most..... My kitchen. I am currently avoiding it like the plague...... In fact i wouldn't be surprised if there was some plague in there. My god is it gross.

Group

2008-10-25T21:11:00.000-07:00

I found a group therapy session for dealing with loss. Its free and is pretty close to my house. It goes from 2:30 - 4pm. so it wont interfere with work. So I really have no excusses for not going. lets see how this works out. Maybe I can regain normal functioning human statis once again.

I have come to the conclusion that I cant deal with this on my own. I think i need professional help. Its been over 3 months since you died and im still having all out break downs. I think its time to call in a grief councilor. I didnt want it to come to this, i wanted to handle this on my own. but i cant. I miss you. And i cant move on.

I think im more mad at my self for still being this fucked up about it. I know you would kick my ass for hurting this much and not being able to get past it. but im hurting and i need help.

I miss you and i love you.

I cant just push you out of my mind to go about my day to day any more. I cant not celebrate you and remember you. I need help.

2008-10-11T18:20:00.001-07:00

I went to the Comic Shop yesterday and bought my self a set of shiny new polyhedral dice for playing DnD.

So i get home, open the box and dump them all on to the table...... and roll a 20.

If that isnt a good omen I dont know what is.

2008-10-06T16:47:00.000-07:00

Wow. I am already starting to feel the effects of a Vancouver winter. Its been raining for a week now. And im already wanting it to stop.

What happened to the lovely city that I had fallen in love with right off the bat.

Also, whats happened to my life?

I used to do things. I used to have fun. I used to see friends. Now that i live down town and im not in school any more, i have become a hermit. I havent seen my friends from school in ages. I knew it would happen though. They are all caught up in there classes and im not part of the cool club any more.

Oh well... sigh....

Bitch bitch bitch.... whine whine whine right.

Me with the PocketNinja and his friend. Im pretty excited to play NinjaTown.

The 2 second sign I made for the in prompt to LRR screening at 1am.

PAX Day 1

2008-08-30T02:22:00.000-07:00

Today was very very busy. But in hindsight we didn't do a whole lot.

But first here are some more pictures of yesterday's adventures.

We ended up going to the Sci-Fi museum, which was fucking awesome IMO. But to get to the museum we had to ride... THE MONORAIL!!!

Me with my bff

Sign's on the bathroom door's

We also went to Fun Forest, which is right out side the Experience Music Project/Sci Museum. Which was a very small, very empty carnival.

So thats about it for yesterday. Here is the link for the Loading Time video for yesterday.

http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/370/loading-time-02a-pax-2008

Today, like I pre mentioned felt very very long. We picked up our badges after breakfast but at 2:30am it feels like that was days ago. There was much line sitting today, as well as a lot of walking.

Im not really in a writing mood, so i will post pictures tomorrow of the actuall Con.

Yesterday

2008-08-29T09:33:00.000-07:00

Hmm Welll..... Apparently blogspot had a massive bed shitting moment yesterday and didn't post my last entry.

Sooo.....

Yesterday at about 9:30am we made our dismemberment to the Victoria Clipper ferry.
The trip was pretty uneventfull. But exciting at the same time.

Sitter

Any one want to live in my house from this Thursday until about Tuesday? I need a Kitty/Birdy/Fishy sitter

Sleeps

2008-08-23T17:28:00.000-07:00

Saddly, sleeping for 13 hours after having only 2 hours sleep the night before is really really un satisfying.

Also only 3 more sleeps until my mommy is in town. And only 4 more sleeps until i leave for Victoria.... then.. PAX!!!! Hurray!!!!

Bad Kitty

2008-08-21T17:10:00.000-07:00

Kitten discovered the kitchen counter today.

Then not 10 min later i found him hanging from the birdcage.

How do you discipline a kitten. Do you just yell and say no?

I have been saying no and picking him up and giving a time out in my arms. Not letting him go for a few min.

I dont know if its working. But I feel better.

2008-08-15T15:06:00.001-07:00

There is nothing like sitting on the deck with an ice tea, watching a movie.

Ahhhhhhh :)

Zzzzzz's

2008-08-15T14:29:00.001-07:00

Little side point from that. I hate it when i say "oh yeah, I just got up" and its like 1pm and they are all like "Must be nice. I was up at 7 this morning." Well yes it does suck getting up at 7. But you also went to bed a lot earlier then then i did. When most people are sitting down to dinner, I would be going to work. I work 7:30pm-3 am. Come home. Take some time to unwind. Then head to bed at around 4 or 5ish. I still only get 8 hours ish of sleep. So when you go to bed at 5 is it still sleeping in or is it simply sleeping?

Feels Good

2008-08-15T14:20:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a really productive day for me. I went grocery shopping (with my brand new old lady shopping cart, No more carrying grocery's home for me suckers!) did a bunch of dishes, had a shower, washed the sticky crap out from inside one of my cupboards.... Now I know this all sounds like very day to day tasks for the average bear, but being on a completely nocturnal sleep schedule, its hard to get things done.

Today my apartment is really hot and humid. Bleck!

2008-08-09T21:27:00.000-07:00

2008-08-09T18:29:00.000-07:00

Okay im in a writing mood apparently. I guess im just lovin on the awesome tunes playing in my ear and the lovely cafe environ im relaxing in.

Tonight is my night with Andrew. We have been dieing for some time to just hang out and watch movies and cuddle. After all the emotion and drama we have been suffering it will be nice to just relax with my friend and not have shit to worry about.

I am listening to Sean's Florida Funk mix that he made for Ashley to listen to on the beach. But im discovering that its suteing for many other situations. Like today... its brightaning up my drizzly Vancouver day.

*Happy Sigh*

Thanks Sean :)

Caffe Rustico

2008-08-09T18:20:00.000-07:00

Caffe Rustico is this little ittalian cafe around the corner from my house. I come here a few times a week. It was the first little cafe/hang out on Main street that I found when I moved into my new place.

I was hung over and it was the only place I saw with food that looked really yummy that wasnt fast food.

I came in and the owner Mario was here and greeted with a jubilent "Ah Cia Bella, How are you today?"

And he treated all his customers like that. One of the other people in the cafe when i was waiting for my food complimented him on the pizza he had made. And Mario replyed with "Ahh When you have the right ingredience it does it all on its own. Its not my doing"

Like wow! His energy is what has been bringing me back. (Or maybe its all the free espresso's Mario brings over if you sit here long enough).... that and the free wireless internets.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hey look at that.... A real entry. Not some heartfelt, tear fulled entry about how i miss my best friend.... but a real honist to god entry about my boreing day to day like.... HOT DAMN!

Must Have

2008-08-09T17:36:00.001-07:00

So this is that entry that every new blog must have.

That entry where you say "Okay i guess ill start a blog here, ill try and actully use and update it"

I have my purerave journal still but recently i just cant sit down to write in it. When i do all that comes out is thoughts about Sean. And i think i get to distracted by buddy list and gallery's on sites like that. I just need a place that I can go that is just mine that i can come and just pound some shit out.

So hopefully this will be good for me...... Hopefully.
