bright and clear
music: astral weeks
mood: new
haha. yea i abandoned my stupid self discipline regimen as soon as i returned to rotonro (HA) in favor of lounge lizardry, snack (omg i meant to write slack...i am just ripe with freudians 2dai), gluttonous recklessness and family. i became obsessed with a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of birds at a feeder that i came about 40 pieces from finishing, but which i feel satisfied with nonetheless.
visited the zoo with rachael and marveled at surprisingly mobile (and adorable) sloths, beaver and gorillas, d'awwwwww! spent the most blissful, glorious day at the blitz with kevin and the lookalikes (so many babes!), which was more relaxing than anything i have felt in literally years. we followed this with an insane frankies frenzy including a lil photo sesh with the hijacked plywood frankie they use for the ridiculous, "its-a your birthday!" song they blast from a huge boombox. this glory was matched yet again two days later when they came over for a raucous and insanely fun game of the Survivor board game. finally! i won, naturally. need to get to work on my audition tape! haha, the game even included a jury rigged bathroom "voting confessional" where we used kevin's eyephone to film ourselves casting our votes ("mom" - hahahah, also "da dude" with a little 420 and drawing of a bong, lol).
other highlights included skating at nathan phillips with saira, simon's wok with saira and aimee, the nutcracker with kate, xmas fiesta at robbie and gavin's and HOCKEY 24/7 (haha, both the practice and the show). watched hella home renovation shows with moms and some jamie and jacques and julia :)
that was truly the best part; spending so much time with moms and the bro. she got me a ballet outfit (leotard, tights and slippers) for xmas (LOVE!) for when i begin classes here...so excited. we went to leslie spit and found some amazing beach glass, discovered the sublime entity that is a tim hortons biscuit breakfast sandwich, traversed saint lawrence market, dined on crepes, went shopping and cooked so many delicious dinners :)
anyway, my eyes are beading with tears as i think back and just feel so sad that i can't be around my family all the time. though i did realize that my place is elsewhere. i seem to be doing best when i am on my own. it is so easy to lose myself in the comfort of home. oh speaking of comforts...RICHIE AND TUBBY!!!! or should i say bony t, heeeheehee! oh my precious angels! i am so happy to see them so loved and smothered and doted upon by my mom all day long and even by adrian by his constant cradling of richie in the "reverse baby" position while showering his funny little head with kisses. D'AWWW!
ha. funnily i signed on to write an entry about being back here, where life is good! i am definitely anxious about being jobless, but am well into my new life of productivity and health :) rearranged my room completely and it looks amazing and has at least double the space now. unreal. have been cooking and eating well, hiked the fire trail with lorraine and evan yesterday and am about to do some wii fit (hopefully...not sure i have enough batteries!) before crossing some items off my massive to-do list.
