Matthew Good is the God of my Adultery

I ended up going to Matthew Good alone, my friend cancelled. Luckily I met Chad in line. I ended up knowing his friend Sean from summer school 6 years ago. I'm extremely surprised he remembered me. I was quiet and shy and everything I try not to be when I meet new people. But somehow words wouldn't really come out of my mouth, no matter what I did. Ughh. One thing I noticed about Chad is that he randomly starts dancing and kicking. It's funny.

I don't know where to start, I don't even know how to start. I just remember feeling my eyes glaze over in ecstasy as The Man from Harold Wood started to play. The anticipation, the excitement, and the joy. And then it happened. If there was another way to start this show, I couldn't fathom it. The Rat Who Would Be King. My heart melted instantaneously. I was floored and drawn in, and every feeling I've ever felt at a Matthew Good concert surfaced and I remembered why I love him so much.


And then it changed, we're knee deep in Avalanche. And I'm desperately happy, not only for me, because Avalanche is one of my favorite live songs, but for Chad as well, because he was hoping for it. I don't have words for that song, when he changes his pitch in the second "avalanche" verse, it gets me everytime. It's not recorded like that, I feel privy to a secret.

Load Me Up was next, I love crowd pumping songs. Although, the two guys behind me were singing very loudly and it was annoying. And one of them was moving his arms around crazily and he hit me in the head a number of times. But alas, I cannot complain.
We're So Heavy. By this point I'm in a joy coma. It's my favorite off White Light, and I've been dying to hear it. He's plays it, and it's everything I'm hoping for. More actually. Suburbia, I'm in shock that this can get better, I'm waiting for Carmelina to fuck things up, but that doesn't happen. (Actually I like Carmelina live, it's just not my favorite song by a long shot). I wanted him to play Suburbia so badly, sighs of happiness.

Anyhoo, Bright End of Nowhere was a surprise to me. I never thought he would play it. A welcomed surprise. And how can you go wrong with 21st Century Living? Answer: you can't.
Hello Time Bomb and Oh Be Joyful were exactly what I expected, happy and fun and rejuvenating.

I've been waiting for Empty Road for an eternity. I've only seen it live at the Joint, acoustic, beautiful enough for tears, and that was before White Light was released. And here it is. I wish it had been acoustic, but it was marvelous nonetheless. Then Weapon and Advertising On Police Cars and I'm always floored by both. Especially Advertising. Fuck I love that song.

And somehow it's the completely acoustic encore. And he's playing Prime Time Deliverance. I have been waiting for this moment since Underdogs was released. My eyes are teary and I'm wrapped up in something that I couldn't possibly explain with words. I will never feel that again. The pure beauty of it.
And somehow, when I think I can't take anymore, he's playing Tripoli. And he's playing Apparitions, and then it's Generation X-Wing. It's the most heartfelt performance I've ever seen. I'm floored. I've never in my life heard anything more moving than this encore.

This post is way longer than I intended. I just couldn't stop. I didn't know where to start, and I just couldn't end.

It's Post 170! The Sheer Excitement of it All

Today I did something I don't normally do for school and ended up regretting it hardcore. I curled my hair. When I left the house is looked fucking cute. Don't get me wrong, I'm not egotistical in the least, most of the time I look like I've been rolling around in the mud, but today my hair was cute. Then 15 minutes later the left side of my head uncurled and I looked like a stupid retard girl who was trying but just couldn't do it.

:), says:
you probably looked like you just got laid *L* flat hair on one side

I wore my fucking awesome cute shoes as well, thinking, "hey, I've only got one class, my feet will be awesome OK in these shoes". I forgot I had this dumb research project thing and that I basically had to walk all over campus all day long. And so my feet are so sore right now.

So after class, in which I spent my time drawing a cartoon of the proff, I went for coffee with Angela, and then we had lunch, and then as I was walking to the research
thing I started thinking "fuck this man" so I took off my shoes and walked around campus with just these "stalkings" on my feet. People were looking at me weird, and I was fantasizing hitting them with my shoes, but I don't want blood on them, so it was completely unrealistic. Probably blood is hard to get out of suede. Oh shoes, how can you be so cute? I just don't know.

Lyndsey has been showing my cartoons around the Faculty of Education, so slowly, but surely, the Stompy movement is gaining momentum. I love that guy, Halloween special comming up! I totally promise because I can see it in my head so therefore it will be done.

Matt Good this weekend. I'm going to one of the three shoes, and I'm sad about that. I think I'm going to go to the one on Monday as well. I invited Gina, she says the reason she can't go on Sat or Sun is because she has to work, now it's homework, grrrr. I have a midterm and a paper due! So it will be just me, alone. I've never gone to a concert alone before. I'm kind of scared about it, but I guess I'm there to hear him, not for conversation or anything so it's all good.

I'm going to dress up. Cause it's Halloween and all. I'm thinking of a sweet, and not hard at all costume. Pink bunny ears and probably extreme pink makeup and Sour Cherry Lipstick. A Matt Good costume for a Matt Good concert. I'm so cute. (I know, holy moly I gave myself a half compliment, fucking insane - don't get used to it hosers).

I'm Nekkid, You're Nekkid, We're all Nekkid - Half Nekkid!

Ho Hum, Happy Half Nekkid Thursday Everyone!
The unfortunate thing about making this pic black and white is that you can't see my awesome socks, which are red, white and pink and they look like candy cane's and feel like clouds!

Man oh Man

Last night I had this totally fucked up out of this world dream.

OK, so I was driving this submarine around the ocean and I had a crew but there were only 2 other crew memebers left because the other ones died when we had a runin with some sea pirates.

In any case, it was the 3 of us driving the submarine around the ocean. Then there was this other submarine driving straight for us and I was like "all hands on desk hosers!"

So the crew came and I was like "we're going to drive under the other submarine" but when we dove down the submarine started filling up with water and I was "uh oh". But it was OK, because we didn't fill up completely with water. But then somehow the temperature dropped off a whole fucking lot and the water started to freeze.

So we thought the best idea would be for all of us to lie on the floor and let the water freeze overtop of us because by this point there was a lot of fucking water and nowhere to hide.

So we all lay down and I had this button that I was going to push at the very last minute before it was complete ice over my face so that the submarine would start rising again because we were still underneath the other submarine.

Anyway, the ice started freezing, and somehow we could breath underwater? hmmm? OK, so then I'm watching the ice form and my body is getting cold. And I can't move because I'm frozen, which, let me tell you, was not part of the original plan. Then I remember falling asleep in the water as its freezing some more.

Then I open my eyes as the final layer of ice is freezing on top of me and I woke up FOR REAL, in real life I mean, because I couldn't breathe. It was the most fucked up thing ever.

Half-Nekkid Thursday

Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday everyone.
Wanna play? Check out the link in the sidebar.

I'm Stealing, ok?

Today on my way home from school, I was riding the bus you see, and I was looking out the window like a zombie when all of a sudden something caught my eye.
A large bunny and my hand flew to the bell to get off the bus. I walked up to the pole and started removing staples. I then proceeded to steal the Matthew Good poster like it was nobody's business.

Only like 10 people were watching. That's not so bad.

This is super funny

I don't know why stuff like this happens, I just don't understand

My Fish are Whores

Ok, my fishies are having babies. I thought they were dying but Gina says they're having babies so now two of my fishie momma's are in their own tank awaiting the arrival of the fishy babies.

Anyway, here's the pics of the fish I bought at the auction. He's big and pretty and red and white and I love him and he was worth every penny and I'm happy I got him and he didn't die.

Ok Dudes

Ok dudes, tomorrow I'm going to a fish auction.

Gina is making me go. I didn't buy any fish last time. But I was also totally drunk out of my mind at the last fish auction. Man I was drunk last time. Haha. Also, last time I had a hotdog at the concession and it was yummy, hopefully they'll be good this year and if they're not I'm leaving and going for lunch instead of watching the 14 hour fish auction and thinking about how awesome it would be if aliens were sucking my brains out.

So anyway, tomorrow is the fish auction. And today I saw Elizabethtown and it was OK. I mean, I enjoyed it, but I don't know how I feel about it really because I don't know why. That makes no sense. Well fuck it. Today is Saturday and I feel like a retard because I'm home on a Saturday night, but I actually don't give a shit because I didn't feel like doing anything and I'm the epitamy of antisocial right now.

Man I could really go for some coffee. And you know what's total bullshit? is that Tim Horton's raised their fucking prices! Like what the shit man? an extra 10 cents? $1.50 for a coffee? ahhhhhh fucking bullshit.

if there's no cute fish i'm going to go ballistic and then hyperventillate and then probably just have a hot dog.

I'm a retard and if you dont like it you can fug off man

Probably swearing isn't good manners in the title, so I should wait until the body of the post before I start swearing uncontrollably.

Today I'm a retard. I spent the last while downloading fucking Photoshop and now it's installed and working and I can't figure out how to use the fucking thing and I'm an idiot and that's that.

Then me and Isabel talked about how we're going to be whores on the same corner. And I was thinking that I should wear my new shoes:
And then I thought that maybe these shoes aren't slutty enough. But seriously guys. I'm in love with these shoes right now and all I can think about it how ahhhhh I love these shoes. And also, they are cute.

Weird noises are happening upstairs. Either my dad is walking around or there is a burglar in the house. Or maybe it's the TV.

I could go for some popcorn right about now.
But maybe I'll have popcorn tomorrow. Or I might go to the Women's Show and meet Rob and Amber from Survivor. Because that's what they're doing now. The Women's Show circuit. A couple years ago it was Colby from Survivor, and then last year is was Josh Duhamel from Las Vegas show and he's like fucking hotter than a sauna.

HNT

OK, so here's my first attempt at HNT (Half-Nekkid Thursday).

I really should be studying for my midterm.

You'd Better Take off those Dancing Pants or Someone is going to get Hurt

I forget what I was going to blog about. That's not good. Hmmm. Lost is on tonight. I should really study for EDU midterm, but ahh Lost is so good. Can't miss Lost nope nope. Hmmm still no idea what I was going to blog about.

Psych midterm was a fucking joke.

I was bitchy to a girl before the midterm. She was rudely talking super loud to her friend and was like "want to know how I remember what the hippocampus does? well it has 'camp' in it and so like you go to camp and you do stuff! haha!"

so I turned to her and I said "you know what makes more sense than that? it has 'campus' in it and you are in fact on campus LEARNING, yeah, campus, not camp"

and she proceeded with "oh! ha! that does make more sense! teehee fra la la"

I firmly believe that I should not be allowed to associate with 1st year students as I will probably kill them all.

Take Out Your Dancing Pants

OK guys, I passed biochem midterm. Party party party. Didn't do that great on it, but, I didn't fail. So there's that.

It's weird how a week of your life can just go by and you don't even really notice. Spending all that time in bed, and nothing really changed, didn't really miss anything important.

Today in EDU I saved a seat for someone and they did not come sit by me, so this other crazy guy came and he was moving around the whole time and kept kicking me and then he hit me in the head with his elbow and it was super annoying. And he kept talking to me during the movie we were watching and I was like "can't you see that I just want you to fuck off and stop talking to me and stop kicking me now?!?!" but as always I said nothing and just kind of nodded and kept watching the movie. In other news, psych midterm tomorrow. Also, I can't stop coughing.

Stephanie Secret: I don't like pizza

Brain Function is at an all time Low

I've been sick. I've had the worst head cold imaginable and then multiply that thought by a zillion and that's how sick I was/am. But I feel a little better today. I should hope so, I've spent the last 48hours sleeping. Not exactly the most productive few days. Two midterms comming up this week, about 4 weeks of reading to catch up on in the next 3 days. So this should be good.

Anyway, biochem midterm went better than expected, which is great because I was feeling so insanely drowsy before it, I'm just glad I managed to stay awake and answer all the questions. I don't have my mark, but since I anticipates like 10% i think I may have surpassed that.

I'm not too woried about the psych midterm. Friday was a review session in class and people were asking super dumbass questions, so dumb that even the prof started laughing. "Ummm, will we have to know which part of the brain does what?" Uhh YEAH dumbass. We spent over a week discussing it, you think it's not going to be on the exam? Well, that calmed my nerves at least.

It's a Panic Attack Kind of Day

I'm not ready. Biochem midterm tomorrow. I'm hyperventilating. I don't know all the enzymes. I don't know the structures of coenzymes. I don't know anything. I can't breathe.

It's a Miracle

Today something happened to me that has never ever ever happened to me before. I used up a school supply. I ran out of white out. Usually I lose pens before they run out of ink etc... So after years of just losing stuff or throwing stuff away, I've finally run out of something.

Goodbye white out - it was fun.. all the mistakes you erased, I appreciate it.

It's a Mad World

Busy busy weekend for me. Well, sort of. I got my hair cut on Thursday. I both like it and hate it simultaneously. Mainly because the chick was like, "its easy to style" and then when I tried to do it I looked like my head had exploded in stupidness. Anyway, Friday night, after an hour of trying to style the stupid hair, which ended up in a ponytail like always. So then we went to Gina's friends house and proceeded to get piss drunk out of our minds.

Then we went to the Stonehouse and had more drinks and then for some reason I decided I was hungry and left the bar, all by myself piss ass drunk. I walked for what seemed like a million years looking for the #6 bus stop but all I could find was #5. So then I got a little scared cause I was lost downtown and didn't know where the bar was.
So I managed to find a Tim Hortons and went inside and called my mom to tell her that I lost Gina and I'm lost downtown and I'm drunk and I can't find the bus stop so can someone please come and pick me up? So I waited at Tim Hortons and had a bagel. And then I called Gina's dad by accident and told him the whole story. THen my brother came and we went to McDonalds and had chicken nuggets.

The End
