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

Wow.

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!

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!
I guess that this must be the place

Woke up this morning feeling refreshed and cuddled and decided to skip English because -honestly- I can gert more productive learning done on my own time than that class. So I hit up Tim Horton's with Ty and enjoyed a leisurely coffee- so nice to relax on a Friday morning! I so rarely get to when I'm dashing out to class and to get my day started.Wine date tonight with Candice; she just texted "be prepared to watch me clean my disaster kitchen!". Stoked!
Girl behind me at a table is loudly discussing with her friend about going through her bf's BB and finding him texting a number she doesn't recognize and she keeps repeating "I wonder how I can find out who that number is?". Have any of you ever done that? I can't imagine going into something as personal as someone's phone and looking for dirt, can you? Listening to this girl behind me makes me feel so thankful for all the good things I have -most specifically that I have a partner that I trust. I can't imagine feeling that that's necessary, or worrying like that. No thanks!
Speakng of which, need to get some prezzies tonight - my 1yr with Ty is next week, I can barely believe it! Time flies. But what can I get him? Men are so difficult to shop for, I literally walk around pointing out everything I'd like to have.
Luckily I have a secret weapon for Christmas ready, so if I blow it on this gift then at least I can hit the ball out of the park come December.
Besides, if worst comes to worst there's always the gift of sweet, sweet lovin'
Happy Friday! xo

Blurry img because I was trying to be incognito about taking it.This girl in my English class this morning was asleep. And snoring. Loudly.
If I were a prof I would have stopped and said something; I mean really? Texting is one thing, but falling asleep and snoring?
Eesh.
Had another terrible encounter on the transit bus this morning on the way to the dentist's office which re-affirmed that bus drivers must really hate their lives if they have to pick on people:
I was in a rush and counted what I thought was exact change... so I pop my fare in and the bus driver calls me back and points it out that apparently I was .35 cents short (fare here is $2.35)... even though I don't think he could have known because there was a ton of change in there already?
Well it was the last of my change. Literally. I asked nicely if he could just let me on because I had a dentist appt to get to. He repeats that I am .35 cents short.
Repeat that convo 4-5 times... he finally just gives up and lets me on.
I go to sit down and he calls me back and refuses to move the bus
(now other passengers are giving me cut-eye...)
until I fill out a "Transit Delinquency Form" which is apparently where you put your name, address and phone number so Transit can call you to collect the fare you're missing?
Honestly, isn't the envelope and postage worth more than the supposed .35 cents?
I clearly didn't put my real name/address on it (eff that noise) because... you know what? I'm a good person, I'm a student, and I made a mistake and this dude decided to take his frustrations on the world out on me in front of a busload of people.
Honestly sometimes I think the majority of bus drivers are only in it so they can get their jollies by hassling people who seriously just need to get where they're going.
Geez.

Perfect evening.Post-midterm unwinding, we ordered some 'zah with chicken, tomato, feta and oregano that blew my face off. Watched some Aqua Tern Hunger Force and chilled with the 'ol iPad. Put on my leg warmers and listened to it rain outside.
Big 'tings a g'wan these next few weeks to be stoked about, I wish it weren't only Tuesday so I've got to make the rest of the week count so it goes bv faster.
Halloween costume is almost ready... my Renaissance Man is sewing me a custom dress and we've got some projects in store for this weekend too. We're going to a bumpin' loft party and aside from showing off our killer combo costumes I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.
This is definitely one of my favorite holidays.Next year we might be going as Vince Noir and Howard Moon. Maybe get a Milky Joe prop?

It's pouring like crazy outside and I'm glad I am inside, on campus, studying most of the day away and breaking occasionally to drink coffee or pee or in this case blog.Most of the time I study in a silent study-place like the Loft area of at a secluded table but campus be bumpin' today so I am in the communal area near Cafe Bodhi and have been for the last few hours. Consequently a bunch of different people have sat down around me and had conversations and I can't help but eavesdrop, you know?
The kids (younger than I) next to me right now are currently talking about moms who harass their fat daughters and the how the girl believes that it "compounds her belief that people need to learn life lessons before having kids". I find that funny for some reason?
Earlier they were talking about a friend taking drugs and how they were worried he would be "hugging everyone and humping walls and stuff" and I almost laughed out loud and told them to stop listening to PSA warnings because there's a lot more in the world that they need to be worried about than someone with big pupils getting snuggly with peeps.
The guy just said his friend smokes "marijuana drugs". This is amazing.
I spend a lot of my time examining and listening to other people; I guess sometimes I'm judging but mostly I'm just looking. People fascinate me, I'm interested in what makes people dress the way they do, why they think the way that they think, and how they became who they are. Most of this I can't figure out by passing them on the street but sometimes I make up stories about them, a pretend life for them in my head that explains why they're taking Astronomy or are wearing Crocs in public.
These two are among my faves; people who seem completely unaware that there's a crowd of people around them and just talk and talk and talk and I love every second of it. They've gone from drugs to cigarettes to bad parenting, A&W to Mars bars to gym workouts. It's like a two-hour snippet into the lives of these two people I'll probably never meet again. I get to hear their thoughts, views, and snippets of
"and if you ever try a hallucinogen, those make you crave cigarettes".
