I'm not lying when I say I'm not much for blogging. I'm also not lying when I say I'm a huge procrastinator. Well, it was just sitting there begging to be used. I think I had one of the biggest freak outs of my life today, and to be honest, this whole week has been a huge freak out. Sunday I pretty much spent the day painting, but my finished product looked awesome and I'm a bit stoked to take a picture of it to show it off. It's not done exactly but the boobs on the mannequin we had in the set up are awesome. Haha, I'm not even lying.
Monday night was Rancid which was completely and utterly amazing. I'd put it up at mindfuck status as I am pretty sure it was the best show I have ever been to, and I've been to a lot. Ten bucks says I'll be saying the same thing tomorrow night when I'm done with Alexisonfire and Cute Is What We Aim For. I'm so excited for that show. Fourth time seeing Alexis, I believe. Or is it five? I can't remember, haha. Whatever. It'll be amazing. Before Alexis, I get to jet over to the MTV studios for MTVLive, where I will get to stare at Shaant and Jack and Tom and Jeff for a decent amount of time. I saw Alexis on that show back in September so I know how it goes down. The best part is not having to pick between my band of the moment, which is Cute, and theonlybandever.
Friday is the most exciting, as I get to hop on the bus and go HOME. FUCK YEAH! I can't wait. I'm pretty sure Lise and I are going to visit Dy so it's gonna be such a sweet hang out right away. Good times will be had, you can be certain.
Aside from all of that, I'm feeling pretty reflective on the semester. Regardless of whether or not I did awesome in school (I had a little bit of awesome, and a little bit of not so awesome.) it has been a successful three and a half months, in every way possible. I have met so many amazing people and made friends with a crazy bunch of people, all of which are awesome. The first person I met at Sheridan was a girl named Ian. It's so weird. We were both terribly lost but we both knew where each other wanted to go because we were just coming from there, so we helped each other out. I didn't talk to her for a long time after that, just saw her around and said hi and stuff. I found out about two weeks ago that she lives with Elliott, which is insane. I talked to her a little more after that and I hope hope hope I have class with her next term. She's really fucking nice and I am jealous of her hair.
I can't not mention Leah and Lorraine because holy shit, I would not have survived the semester without their cars, Leah's food and Lorraine's shoulder. Best kids ever. Also both amazing artists and I've learned a lot from both of them in the way of art. I'm gonna be even cheesier for a sec and say that I've also learned a crap load from them in the way of life in general. Obviously, they aren't perfect people but they both are pretty amazing and both have definitely stuck their necks out for me and I've just... learned so much from them both.
I don't think I can mention Leah and Lorraine without mentioning Rob who gets on my nerves constantly but who you also can't help but like a lot. It's so weird. He's bloody irritating but he gives off so much energy. It's not always good energy but he's good for a laugh, usually. Usually. And when the kid who irritates you, is the only kid in the room who seems to know who Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger are, you can't help but like them a little bit.
There's such a cast of characters in my class and I don't want to go through them all so I'll finish off with Angela. I knew I was going to be friends with Angela when she flat out told me I was lazy in week 2 or 3. It was such a hilarious thing and my jaw pretty much dropped to the ground, but I wasn't offended for a few reasons 1. I'd whined about being lazy a few days before and 2. for what we were talking about, it's completely fucking true. Sometimes, I wonder if she has a screw loose but I think most people wonder about that with me so we work well together, I think. She's pretty insane and I'm bummed that we might not have class together next term.
The next most important people in the past three months are the group of insane kids I like to call the MCR street family. It was about half-way through the semester when Lor and I were talking on AIM and she mentioned that My Chemical Romance was doing a signing at HMV in a few days. My immediate response was something along the lines of: OMG I'M SO DOWN. And I was. The album was just coming out and I was going through a bit of a phase where all I was listening to was Headfirst for Halos and Thank You For The Venom. Anyway, the signing was really late in the day, 9pm or something like that, so the plan was for one of us to go early in the afternoon and whoever got there first was going to hold a spot for the both of us. Well, I got there first, and HMV was being a dick about this thing. You had to have the new album to even get a wrist band to get in and I didn't have one. I had sat by myself for about 45 minutes before the guard guy came out and said as much. Panicking, I took a chance and asked the kids in front of me, whom by then I had decided were safe enough to ask because they seemed to be HUGE fans, if they could watch my shit while I ran to go and grab a cd. They were awesome enough to do so and not steal anything. We chatted a little when I got back, along with the person sitting just infront of me. Lor came around then and introduced herself, which lead to the rest of us introducing ourselves. Sam, Vikki, Lor, Shan, Julie and a little later, Michi. The rest of the day was spent talking about random shit and taking turns going pee. It was balls cold out and I think most of us got sick after waiting on the street for seven or so hours just to get an autograph and have a tiny conversation with each of the members of My Chemical Romance. All of them were really really nice, by the way. It's a bit sad, but that was definitely more of a meet and greet than when I met Good Charlotte in October. It was well worth the wait, for meeting the street fam in line, for sure. Myspaces were exhanged and well, the next time MCR is in town, we're gonna tear shit up. Or so I like to think. Hah.
Any of the other people I've met (ie. kids in bands, the awesome guy who was getting me into NFG, the lady who works at harveys at school, and THE FUCKING RUMBLING BUMS ON CARLTON AND YONGE.) have been pretty amazing in their own ways. I however cannot write about everyone because that would take up my entire life and I need to live it instead of writing about it.
Long story short, I've had an amazing time here, but I'm ready for a break. I'm ready to go home and chill with my homefries. That's it. Peace out.
