tortured

i feel a little nauseous.

so i was reading my book today and came across this "i laid my head on his shoulder and wondered how he could stand me. in one short morning i had exhibited insane laughter, hidden lust, pissy behavior, self-pity, and hysterical crying. if i'd been trying to show him my worst side, i could not have done a better job than this." i had to laugh. that's totally me. i can't help myself, i'm transparent to a fault. i scare men away. i'm both honey and deet in one. part of me wants to turn over a new leaf of no longer putting my crappy foot forward, however, my apathy is winning. oh who am i kidding... am i apathetic about anything?? well maybe wiping down the counter ;) personally, i'm rooting for apathy.

so i have NO sense of direction in ottawa. i used to think i had a good sense of direction in general, but i have since learned my trick (self – i'm on to you...) i always know where lake ontario is. it's my grounder. by knowing where the lake is, i know which direction everything else is. interesting... if only that could translate in life (with God being lake ontario), that would make everything make so much more sense.

i bought a navy blue toilet seat at ikea for $1.99. its nice! i like it. too bad my toilet is old and falling apart. i was right, it didn't recover from its surgery. i can't remember... did i tell you Part A to this story? i have a feeling i didn't.

oh my goodness... another bad call by yelsel. i have these little black tins that go over my burners on my stove when they're not in use. i accidentally almost had a small fire a few weeks ago when i turned the wrong burner on. anywayz... i decided to spray paint them white (partly to repair the damage from the almost fire) but i left them drying on newspaper on the balcony and some wind came along and... suffice it to say, i'm now covered in spray paint and my metal tins will never be the same....

i'm still nauseous.

sunday's on the phone to monday,
tuesday's on the phone to me.

Lesley, you're awesome!

I love reading your blog. You always get at least a smile out of me, if not a laugh.

Thanks for sharing your self-deprecation with the world.

yelsel said...

thanks rach. i have to admit... pspd gives me a bit of a giggle too. laughing at my glaring faults puts things in perspective.

thanks for sharing in my day and my life {u} – that's a hug by the way :)

Aww, Les!
i have missed you and your blog.

as for what i am up too for the next two weeks..nothing! i would love to hand out!

feeling "too single" lately...

yelsel said...

well "we've" missed you too!

wait a second... i thought you were down in the u.s. of a. for the next 2 weeks. am i wrong? please say i am!

i'm kinda crammed right now. i'm working on the standard as i type, well you know, seeing joanna the space-cowboy on thursday. are we seeing the pirates of the carribean on friday? someone should check with little r.

i leave for vacation in 11 days...

here's a hug for you to {u}. man, i'm passing those out like dixie cups! i have NO idea what that means. please excuse me.

i'm jonsing for a new strong bad sbmail.

dawna said...

"honey and deet in one"! priceless... but really, i'm sure you don't scare men away... they must love you. if they don't, they're not worth it.

in other news, i'm beginning to smell like deet. the mosquitos in saskatchewan are deadly! out in full force in the middle of the morning, and all day long unless there is a good wind. so now, i not only have to worry about making sure the kids have sunscreen, but also bug spray. in the middle of the day! this is ridiculous.

um, sorry for the rant... have i told you lately that i love you?

yelsel said...

awww, thanks dawna. i've missed you!

i loved your "in other news" segway. that was awesome :) we saw the emily carr exhibit at the gallery the other day, and there was this picture of her covered head to toe with a net over her face to keep away the mosquitos. what a nusiance they must be!

love you too {u}

pirates sounds good for Friday..let's check with r about that.

night..night

yelsel said...

correction lissa... pirates sound good ANYday ;)

dawna said...

glad you enjoyed the national gallery... i really like that place - i think i've visited it almost every time i've been in ottawa

yelsel said...

good call. i think i visit it everytime i'm there too. that was about my 5th time.

i wonder what kind of drama i'll cook up today...

devious said...

so what book is this that describes us (me and my 8 other personalities) so perfectly?

yelsel said...

the secret lives of bees.

today i'm wearing yellow and black. i wonder if that was subconsciencously intentional.

i see you.
i'm hidding in "appear offline" :D

{u}

i must get into my chariot and be off.

Anonymous said...

let me know what the plan is for friday. I would like to see pirates too!

yelsel said...

indeed we shall!

devious said...

um. could it be that the nausea comes from sniffing your spray paint??

yelsel said...

nah, i spray painted outside.
the nausea was related to the state of my psyche...

yelsel said...

dude... he wouldn't understand anything. wouldn't that be defeat the purpose? i dunno, i'll mention it to him.

if you asked me if i'd been urinating on statues i'd look at you oddly too ;)
