frozen

considering i didn't go to bed til 1:45 last night. considering someone barged into my room at some unknown hour of the night, startling me so much that i bolted up in a dozy stooper. considering the fact that i'm not a morning person even under the best of circumstances, i woke up feeling pretty awesome. i was tired, but felt great about my person. for the first time in a few weeks i woke up feeling "i'm fricking fabulous!!". now i realize that at times i may come across very arrogant, seeming overly confident. but it's more self-acceptance than self-confidence.

last night i saw stars, and it was a really great show. i had a really great time. it was really funny in many ways, partly because my "companion" kept bring up totally random topics to yell into my ear. stuff like "what if we never became friends??" i don't know... we did pretty good, we had a good spot and we weren't squished. i saw al, and waving at him, but concluded he didn't see me, so i climbed the railing to say hello. like clockwork one of the bouncers came to tell me to get down. they're very adamant, persistant even. like fascists (kind of).

at 7:30 this morning (its a good thing i was late or i would've already been out the door to work) a man returned one of my calls about apartments. i'm going to see 2 on gore street this afternoon. i don't want to get my hopes up, but it would be nice if i ended up taking one of them. we'll see.

argo came up to me today and said "have you done something different??" referring to my nosering. he proceeded to tell me that it looked great and that he finds noserings very sexy. ahahaha. what a guy...

well after work tonight i'm going to need a LONG nap. yesterdays nap wasn't exactly effective. the indie concert extravaganza continues tonight. well that's a bit of an overstatment, but whatev. we're seeing metric. melinda & i are one some kind of annual metric concert streak. this is the 3rd annual concert.... or something.

singing to the ones you love and the ones you'd like to be rid of.

good luck with the apartment hunting, les, i hope it works out for you!

and from what i saw with my folks eternally slow internet connection (they live in the country and can't get highspeed, so i couldn't download the bigger photo from your flickr), i loooove your new nosering!

enjoy the indie rock...

seems me and the OC crowd were diggin the stars and the ones in the crowd...stars that is. of course a les and melissa sighting was had and I was arguably the oldest one in the room..I felt so Dawsons Creek...but half way home I did the math on the lead female singer and realized the music was somewhat John Hughes (80s reference see Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles ect) and concluded she could have been my cousin as we both grew up in Montreal..

melinda knocked and came in at like 2:06am to retrieve her puffer which lesley was holding hostage.
melinda blames all the 21yearold girls for her behaviour and the lack of champagne at ajs.

don't feel you need to plead your case for sanity. this is not a court of law. we are not here to judge you... and your problem.

yelsel said...

al, you are so right. it was totally an OC crowd. even i felt kind of old. being there made me feel like i should have got my naval pierced instead of my nose and i should have been wearing some kind of belly top.
what's up with your generation? why is it, that you were the only guy cool enough to be there? well, i hope i'm like you when i'm 40.

dawna, i think my nose is getting infected :(

ahhh the infamous lesley mcknight blog! That's all the world needs is an outlet for you to pour your rage!!! I must say I'm pretty jealous you got to see the stars. I tried to get in, but it was sold out.

'Twas nice seeing you on Sunday. I'm excited about going back this weekend.

yelsel said...

do you like blogger? i had a blog at diary-x for 3 years until a month ago when their server crashed and everyone lost everything.

I definately will be less hasty about the 11:00 start time this week.

yelsel said...

umm, so far i have no complaints. i like how on livejournal you can comment on specific comments. but other than that blogger is decent.

right on my brother... see you sunday.

TEAM RICHKA said...

whewwhew.

dawna said...

les, it's probably not infected, just takes some time to get used to... :)

yelsel said...

ok. you're probably right. its just all scabby and red/purple, but i guess that's what's expected after putting a hole in my body.
