brief summary of states.
life is okay. finals will probably get passed, and who gives a fuck about first year anyway.
went to duchess says and les georges. almost died it was so good. rejoiced in the friendliness of edmonton folk. however, on the scale of fuck-shit-up, we are pretty lame. vancouver: cold and cliquey, but the kids fucking PARTY! had the show been at the brickyard or some other shitty gastown bar, it would have been the annual social dance in the ward for delusional schizophrenics, not a bunch of scenesters vaguely bouncing around.
i'm too good at my job (not like that's saying much considering what i do for a living) and they keep having to send me home early. nice on my soul, a huge burn on my pocket book (not as though i actually have a pocket book...). new years resolution: switch the respective concentrations of slack-off from school to work.
recording keys and back ups for yasmeen's album, which is really exciting and fun. the studio is in the basement of some guy who's mom works at the zoo and has a wallaby... and wallabies are amazing. and i got to meet it. it was almost as cute as a penguin. almost.
i've (finally) recorded a few tunes of my own instead of putting any effort into university, which i figure is me communicating to myself what my priorities actually are. but sometimes a good daughter/granddaughter needs to stay in school to keep her parents/grandparents happy. and the tradeoff isn't bad, because learning and employment options and pseudo-intellectual-elite status are all quite positive.
i really miss the kids in vancouver. they're especially easy to love when you don't live close enough for them to blow off plans with you all the time. the friends here are equally as busy as i am or in some cases pretend to be, and that makes for a pretty lonely life. but they are all incredible humans and they are all part of my life in one way or another, so i can't really complain. if only i had more time, because there are people i want to see (like ANDRIA!) and never really do. and that bums me out.
summation: we are okay. and of course there is christmas to look forward to. and there is nothing i love more than buying people things they like. now... to pay off the mastercard....
"the boys are in a band together. the girls all fucking stand together. cool kids'll keep together."
