The Skinny
|
...life in small Northern towns, working for assholes, boys who refuse to become men, synthetic personalities, anorexic models and their link to emotional scarring, bad marijuana trips, crazies on BC Transit, beer, piece of shit cars, living out of a suitcase paycheck to paycheck, unrequited love, Seinfeld, minimum-wage jobs, broken New Year�s resolutions, and over-limit Visa accounts.

Two Worlds Collide (and I'm not even there to enjoy the show, Bugger!!) I'm so pissed, I could CRY right now. Once again, I had an entire blog entry ready, was just adding the finishing touches (i.e. images) and kaput! The whole thing goes tits-up. Fucking hell, that is such a piss off. So, here's the compressed version: Luba just called me this afternoon to let me know that she's hooking up with MY friends Sarah and Colleen tonight for a couple bevvies... MY FRIENDS, LUBA! YOU'RE CRASHING MY WORLD! :) In truth, I'm pumped for these two to meet (she's already friends with Colleen), but I wanted to be there to witness the whole thing when it goes down... it could go either way, and I wanted to have a front-row seat on the sidelines, just in case. Ah, well... have fun without me, kids. (Bitches) Aside from that, Luba related one of her most hilarious stories to date... Apparently one of her girlfriends purchased tickets to the BC Lion's Football game last night as a 'Thank You' to Luba for introducing her to "the finer things in life" (i.e. The expensive things in life: Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, etc...). Luba is not impressed with this apparent show of gratitude; she would have preferred a $20 glass of champagne. Expecting that this sports event would rival her others (i.e. box seats, free champagne, etc), Luba donned a pair of designer jeans, 4" heels and Channel glasses in preparation for a typical shee-shee-poo-poo evening. Much to her shagrin, Luba was ushered into a row of (gasp!) plastic seats among the masses of rednecks who had congregated from areas such as Abbotsford, Langley and Surrey. GREAT SCOTT. Imagine the horror. Even more insulting than having to connect her designer-jean wearing asscheeks with the plastic chairs was the fact that Luba had to endure speaking to these rednecks. Well, not really speaking to them, per se, but receiving comments. Such as: - Nice Rack Thus the reason she spent "two of the four periods" in the washroom talking on her cell phone with one of her friends. "It was terrifying, Hol." Holy Christ, I laughed. She never ceases to entertain me. Thank god for Luba. At any rate, in non-Luba news... Damo and I had a fabulous time up on the Sunshine Coast visiting friends Kate & Luke. They were just as amazing and hysterical as I remembered them being last year. Too much fun. We even managed to get a bit slanty with them the first night I was there. The incriminating photos are all on my camera, which is not available to me at the moment (we're at M.A.'s house...), so don't have any pics of our visit (...next time...). They're both so amazing; I was pressing them for a visit to Canada, and they've tossed Xmas '08 out there... I'm gonna do my best to hold them to it. I already promised them that all they have to do is come up with their flights and everything else will be taken care of while they're there... Clint will be more than happy to fund their visit! Won't cha, Clint??? :) While we were up that way, we also worked in a visit to Steve Irwin's zoo (CRIKEY! The Crocodile Hunter)... it was a beautiful set up, and the first time I've ever seen any of these animals (Tigers, Elephants, Koalas, Kangaroos, etc)... again, the pics are all on my camera, so will be posted another day. Apologies. Beautiful area up that way - Damian's determined to purchase some property up there before prices get too out of control. What a gorgeous place to retire to... my god. And last night was Damian's friend Gai's engagement party. It was held down in the marina next to the world's first 6 star resort (The Versace) - gorgeous setting. We had a nice time, although we didn't know anyone and essentially were very anti-social and enjoyed our own little party consisting of just the two of us. God, I'm sure there's so much more to report, but a) I can't think of it right now, and b) I'm still super-pissed that I lost my first entry a while back. Goddamnit that's infuriating. Ah well, no use crying over spilled milk. Right? Right. So, this is me signing off for another day, kids. Be kind to yourselves and eachother, enjoy your weekend, and always smile... it'll keep you young. And an extra special shout out to Naked Pam... I love you, doll. Hang in there... I'll be home soon. xoxo, |
