(no subject)
Well, work and its myriad of duties continues to trundle by me at alarming speed. I recently felt particularly vindicated when I was asked to record a bunch of dialogue readings at headquarters for various classes. It took my mother till nearly the end of high school to stop moaning about me taking drama...she didn`t foresee me as the voice of Lia in the latest ECC batch of textbooks. Anyway, I expected to be smuggled into some dank basement that smelt like gym lockers and unwashed fat on a 3 day old frying pan, but was pleasantly surprised to find a very professional sound studio with padded walls and on hand sound mixer. Anyways, I basically got paid to be in grade 12 drama class, drink coffee and pour over a script, without having to endure Van Allen and his various neuroses. Hooray!
I also found a gaming bar downtown, so now I go play Super Nintendo and drink Bloody Marys on Saturdays, which is a wonderful way of deluding myself that gaming is a social activity. I even managed to drag myself out to a baseball game yesterday. It was, as all baseball games are, boring as all hell, but I sat in my pretty dress and drank cherry flavoured alcohol, discussed traditional Japanese suicide, and blew up balloons and let them fart away into the atmosphere during the 7th inning and at the end of the game (a Japanese tradition).
Jason and I are trying to organize a trip to Scotland in August, and since Edinburgh is a little dream of mine that was dashed nearly 10 years ago, I`ll be ecstatic if it all works out. I don`t have much romanticism in me but `Scotland` makes me feel all dreamy. Then again, so do the words *time machine*, *accent*, and *underwater world*.
I feel a little dismayed by this entry. I usually try to reserve most entries for things I find very amusing. I don`t know if general age is affecting my ability to find things funny or if my life is just very drab. But I haven`t updated in a while.
Can`t wait to see you all, can`t wait to hear English, can`t wait to go to school and become an outwards focused person.
