Everything here's market fresh

This is the only picture I have from the epic Double Birthday OMG party on Wednesday night. Screw taking pictures at my own party, right?The turnout was massive, so many people. Such good music. Amazing, amazing times.
I'm still getting messages from people about what a good time they had today. Success!
And now, I'm 23.
So frantic, high above your home

Wrote my Economics test today. Whew. Finally.
Didn't realize how much studying was stressing me out- I walked out of the classroom and immediately felt like a feather.It's like I've snapped back into reality, and just in time because -guess what!- November 11th is my 23rd birthday and I couldn't be more excited because Nathan Zahn of Symptomtech and I are having a joint birthday party tomorrow evening!
It's called Double Birthday Oh My God and Tyrone even made up a sweet logo of Zahner and I for the event:
How great is this?!Nathan and I had a great conversation about it last night- there's going to be cake (!!) and a cash bar, as well as some great local DJs (Chris Komus, C.H. Bassline, Alex Ridley + more!) and visiting DJ SISK is going to do a set as well!
It's going to be amazing, we're expecting a decent turnout and I can't wait to celebrate my 23rd with such fine people.
Not to mention I'm planning a smaller-scale cocktail party on Nov 20th as well since not everyone is into warehouse parties of the ridiculous variety. Does anyone in Winnipeg know where I can get a cupcake tree on the cheap??
So much planning and excitement and somewhere in there I have to finish up this school term and write exams?! Oh my!
Little things taking me over

I am disenchanted with today.
Thus far there have a been a slew of things that have pushed me further and further into a bad mood.Nothing I want to talk about here, really. I try not to bring negativity to The Blog and it's not really important stuff, anyway. Just annoying stuff.
D'you ever have those days? I'm sure we all do.
Let's let the great George Carlin remind us of what we have in common, and ideally some laughter will snap me out of this funk.
Here's hoping.
Black tears are falling, falling

Friday evening marked my anniversary dinner with Boyfriend Supreme. In addition to this uber-sweet note & flowers when I came home from work.
Outfit.
We chose the new uber-trendy tapas bar Segovia. Since they don't take rezzos we had to wait an hour and a half for a table to be ready, so in the meantime we grabbed some drinks and I was buzzing by the time we got there. A fabulous start.And the foodgasm begins:
Patatas Bravas (aka... fancy poutine)
Marinated white anchovies.
Spanish cheese selection with home-made crackers.
This combo of (I think) bleu cheese, compote and cracker was amazing. Hands-down.And the two specials:
Bison tartar. Best raw meat I've ever had
Pork cheeks on parsnip purée.Amazing. I highly, highly recommend this place if you live in Winnipeg or happen to be visiting. Despite the wait (which wasn't that bad, all the shops in the Village were still open and we had time for drinks at Billabong) the service was impeccable, the restaurant itself was gorgeous, and the food flew out of the kitchen.
It's hands-down the best restaurant experience I have ever had. Definitely go!
Patience, patience

So much to talk about. Went for a fancy dinner that needs reviewing on Friday. Went to a gallery opening last night. Spent all morning sleeping in and didn't have brunch till 1:30 in the afternoon and still need to overhaul-clean the apartment, study and spend some more quality time with Tyrone.Busy day. Love it. Love you. xo

I loves Aqua from when I was younger... Barbie Girl is an eternal fav.But when I looked them up on YouTube just now I didn't expect to find this epicness:
Wow.
Washed up on the glittering shoals

I was sitting around recently thinking about how awesome it is to be me and how lucky I am and I thought "thank goodness nobody has the ability to be me, other than me".Nobody can pretend to be me to fight off attackers, or to trick other predators, or could even pretend to be fourteen of my other friends in order to trick me.
Oh, wait. There's apparently an octopus that can mimic other animals.
Shit!
Luckily for me I don't happen to be a poisonous sea-creature.
Seriously, I'm not. I'm nowhere as cool-looking (though I try).
Otherwise I'd be really worried.

Today was pretty rough, it didn't go so well.
But luckily today is now yesterday because it's 12:30am on Friday Movember 5th.It's my favourite non-holiday, Guy Fawkes Day, where Brits get together and burn effigies of him and have fireworks.
Even if I won't be having a bonfire myself, I'll definitely at least light a candle and raise my glass (over my highly anticipated anniversary dinner at Segovia Tapas Bar for the day that Parliament wasn't blown up.
But before that I need to catch up on some sleeps, night loves!
Take it easy on me

Sitting here stuffing my mouth with butternut squash pad Thai it strikes me how much has happened in the past year, how far I've come, how things have changed.How, a year ago today, I began a relationship that would enrich my life and make me happier than I'd ever imagined possible.
It blindsided me. I remember sitting there, torn up about it because I felt so deeply about someone that I knew I couldn't be with... and in a matter of a couple of weeks suddenly everything changed and there we were. Together.
And every day since, he's made me unbelievably happy and has reminded me of how lucky I am that we have one another.
I love you for totes. Massif heartz!
Lost out on this highway

Sun's shining for the first time in what feels like ages; spent the weekend in a whirlwind of costume-making, drinking, being hungover and generally neglecting my adult responsibilities as a whole.
Sometimes you just need to slack off, y'know?
It isn't just blogging hay I miss most, it's keeping up with the lives of all the blogging peeps that -oddly- I find myself so drawn to, missing their lives when I can't check up on them every day and see how they're doing. 
December Break is coming and it's going to be both a cause for stress (before) and a release (during). On one hand I'm stressed for papers and exams, planning two of my own birthday parties (I turn 23 on November 11th!) and not losing my head in all of it somehow.
From where I am sitting I can see my Grandma's condo; even though I call her about once a week to let'er know I love'er I don't see her as much as I want either.December where art thou? My month of working one job, sleeping in, reading at my leisure, going to the gym regularly, and baking way too much.
Can't wait!
